But I get the impression that a lot of rural areas in the states are like outer urban areas in Australia. They have so many potential customers per square km that the infrastructure should be justified.
I think the main point in broadband that people just don't get is that the US is huge while many smaller countries are the size of one of the US's states, its is expensive to get broadband.
Here in Australia with one tenth the population density the situation is almost exactly the same as in the USA. That doesn't sound right to me. I think the service should be better in the US.
For me it can only be 3D if you can walk around the projection and see other sides as if it was a solid object.
The linked wikipedia articles talk about ways of making stereo movies from mono movies but I think our brains already do that without the help of extra hardware.
The destination server immediately says "nope, sorry, that user doesn't exist" s
But then the remote system has a way to find out what usernames do *not* exist on the SMTP server, and via a (now very fast) dictionary search can get a list of valid usernames.
There is a reason why most interactive logins do not tell you which you got right or wrong: the username or password.
Once your usernames are known a dictionary attack against passwords is much easier. This is why root should never accept ssh logins.
And yet, there's no procedure for drivers to flag, using that same GPS map data, data that needs to be deleted for any number of reasons (anything from unintentional trespass to look, grisly accident scene)?!?
Where does he park the Google van at night? Since it is automatic does it keep recording? Maybe he takes care not to park it in view of his bathroom window.
The driver should at least be able to put a mark on the recordings to say "have a good look at this before you decide to use it".
Back when I was a young aussie the evening news actually had a list of the days bank robberies. It was actually very common for banks to be hit by criminals.
Then the banks introduced pneumatic barriers between the customers and the cash and bank robberies just stopped.
I remember one story about a guy who tried to dive over the barrier as it slid up and got stuck half way. Perhaps that was a transition thing.
I got a nasty scare about ten years ago in Ireland. The Army move the cash there and their security technique is to aim at the entrance of ther bank with self loading rifles from three different positions. I am sure that if they ever had to use their weapons there would be dozens of people dead.
In general I think passive countermeasures give the best return.
It occurred to me that if you ran fibre cable to your mosque there is a chance of it being ripped off and sold. Power cable can be stolen as well but you risk being electrocuted in the process.
Probably because the Mosque doubles as Town Hall and general purpose public building in many parts of Indonesia.
I think this is a great way to enlighten people and broaden their experience of the world.
I wonder about these kinds of efforts to make PCs more "simple". Computers just aren't simple devices, and consequently, most attempts to make them easy to use are doomed to failure.
A couple of things: we will always have users who can only work with an extremely simple UI. I am thinking about elderly and disabled people. Then there are users in extreme environments who have so much real world work to do that the UI must be specialised and highly adapted to the job. Think air traffic controllers.
Neither of these groups are people who need to interact with the computer as a computer. It is a specialised object which helps them with their life or work. For that purpose it can afford to be abstract and specialised.
Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" (which gave us the word "Grok") or "Citizen of the Galaxy"
All good suggestions but I would like to see Friday made into a movie. It is more relevant now than when it was written, while a lot of the classics from the 1950's and 60's are just too dated for me.
Its funny. Today a co-worker (a software engineer like me. Not young. Probably in his 30's) sent an email around on our internal news server asking if it was a scam.
It was an obvious 419 scam so I replied as such. Then he replied saying "what's a 419 scam"? and I gave him a wikipedia link.
I haven't seen many of these going around lately which may be a factor. They are pretty easy to filter.
Note that I didn't specify mass as the way to classify black holes.
The linear and angular momentum of a black hole should tell you a lot about its origins. In particular the shape of the event horizon (determined by spin) could exclude some known formation theories. Orientation might be important too.
Possible, but I believe they evaporate over the course of trillions of years via Hawking radiation. Based on recent evidence, the universe is only old enough for it to still have been the smallest yet discovered.
It would be really interesting if we eventually found a class of black holes which could only predate the big bang.
No need to overtly outlaw encryption, just arm-twist the folks on the backbone to drop or block encrypted traffic or just modify it so that it can't be decrypted.
So what is the difference between highly compressed traffic and highly encrypted traffic?
Its a fair bet that code from fvwm was used in most subsequent window manager projects. While it is still my environment of choice for serious workstations I think it serves as kind of a living code library for others to use.
fvwm = Win95 back in the day, now more like Mac OS.
FVWM is configurable to the point where it can look, or not look, like pretty much any desktop environment you want to name. There have been windows 95 setups for it but thats not the fault of fvwm itself.
I took a low dose of Carbamazepine from the age of 19 to 25. Looking back, I think the progressiveness of epilepsy could be a learning process. You can learn behaviours which encourage seizures, or learn to avoid those behaviours. In my case the condition was associated with the stress of starting at college, and late nights study sessions, etc.
Since then I have become a more calm, laid back person. This may be a consequence of ageing, the side effects of the drug, or the result of a decision I made to avoid the state of mind which was causing me problems. Over a long time it is difficult to extract cause and effect.
In any event, I believe the seizure disorder I had at the age of 19 is still there, and I avoid problems by "not going there"
a lot of anti-seizure medication is now associated with higher suicide risk
Yes I saw that article too. I know that scientists go to great lengths to do controlled experiments but I really doubt that a solid statement can be made about cause and effect. People with serious disorders take a lot of medication. Is the suicide risk caused by their condition? Or the drugs?
Having a minor seizure disorder, and having known a few people with more serious conditions, I think this is a complicated issue. I know of one person who eventually had brain surgery to treat his problem. He took a lot of medication and had a lot of seizures. He definitely had major psychological issues as well.

Sure, it's a great place to take a long nap, until your suspended animation chamber fails.
You've lost me there.

Botany Bay is actually quite a nice place now. The people we really don't like get sent to Woomera, Christmas Island and Naru.
It would be really interesting if we eventually found a class of black holes which could only predate the big bang.
Not an easy thing to do when your antimatter has negative weight and the black hole has all but infinitely strong gravity.
That explains why the movie I watched on the bus in Malaysia recently was War of the Worlds with Russian subtitles and dubbed back into english.
Its a good thing I had seen it before because the dialog made no sense at all.

Worth it for the look on the IBM salesman's face.
