There's also the danger of someone using your name.
In high school a friend of mine made some stupid 9/11 truth petition and slapped my name on it. Now when you google my full name, it's like the 4th result.
Give it a few years after consumer release, and you'll have the perfect backup solution: Quick, cheap, easily stored (throw it in a safe deposit box and you're good to go)
The cynic in me is skeptical that the swine flu story broke the same day it was announced more torture pictures were being released.
Misdirection is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
If you you take a look at the detailed stats on the effected, only people in Mexico died, which could be attributed to lack of medical attention rather than a particularly virulent strain of swine flu. In mexico, roughly 1600 people were infected, roughly 100 died. However in the US, we've had ~100 confimed cases. Based on that data, we should expect ~10 deaths, but have had none so. far.
In a separate February 2007 Cincinnati -based investigation of hackers who'd successfully targeted an unnamed bank, the documents indicate the FBI's efforts may have been detected. An FBI agent became alarmed when the hacker he was chasing didn't get infected with the spyware after visiting the CIPAV-loaded website. Instead, the hacker "proceeded to visit the site 29 more times," according to a summary of the incident. "In these instances, the CIPAV did not deliver its payload because of system incompatibility."
My guess is that the "system incompatibility" was Linux and/or Firefox.
As much as I dislike Thompson, it's already well accepted that we have the same right to e-mail legislature as we do to write them letters. I remember there was a lawsuit over a similar issue (in California I think) where someone in government was getting a ton of emails about a pending bill, and they set up a filter to delete them as they came in.
Makes sense. I read somewhere that one of the reasons medium/high doses of radiation kill you is all the helpful bacteria in your digestive system are killed, leaving you unable to process nutrients.
They were cheering and shouting the name of shia cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr. (Saddam was a Sunni.)
They told him he was going to hell and other insults. Then when he tried to give his last words, a short prayer, they pulled the lever in the middle of it, then cheered some more. It was less like an execution and more like a lynch mob.
Top of the line will generate a lot of heat though. OP doesn't need lots of processing power... an Atom processor would be better.
This would reduce the chances of heat related failures... shell out for good fans and a good PSU. A RAID 1 would be sufficient... you don't sound like you're dealing with a lot of data, it might be better to show him how to use a DVD-R burner and have him manually back up every month or so. If you do go for the RAID, stick to tried and true technology (No bleeding edge 2TB drives. Also sticking to say, a 5400rpm drive will reduce chances of drive failure.)
Or it could be to avoid situations like those that arose when Brown visited the USA.
If everyone gets the same gift, no one will feel slighted. The leader of a major superpower or a tiny island nation being treated the same? That's actually a pretty smart political move.
I find it interesting they basically used them for low level psy-ops. Basically the modern equivalet of dropping pamphlets.
I mean, imagine what damage they could have done if they attacked say, their power supply? While 24 made me want to throw something at my TV this season with their insinuations that one computer controls an entire nation's power grid, sometimes critical systems are accessible via the internet.
Computer Science is not the path to take to go into IT, despite what TFA states.
I major in information science. While I'll admit I might not know the latest wizbang algorithms, the fact of the matter is, 90% of the things a business needs is really just basic algerbra. (X+Y)*z, that sort of thing.
I've also noticed that while my friends who are CS or Software Engineering majors might be able to make a more efficient program, they know very little about things like networking or database administration. Hell, I've seen them struggle with things as basic as getting their second monitor hooked up.
I'm much more confident I can get a job with my IS degree, and a little time spent on my own to learn better programming skills than a CS major who only knows code and nothing else.
I could see Microsoft paying big money to distribute firefox with an MSN default search box and msn.com for the homepage, and ditching IE. Probably would include a proprietary active x plugin for firefox, so stuff didn't break too severely.
Maybe you should read your local laws closer before spouting off.
I know that in my state (Pennsylvania) it's legal to carry a knife under 4 inches (or larger if you have a "lawful purpose".) I can't see how a cop could possibly make a case that any swiss army knife or leatherman is illegal.
While some states differ on lengths (I've seen 3 inches and 3.5 as limits on the books in other states), I've never came across a state law that would imply carrying a swiss army knife would be illegal.
Other common reasons for trains being late are overcrowding and suicide.
It's easy to be glib, but this was actually a major issue in Japan for a long time... it wasn't until they passed a law that fined the deceased's family that the number of suicides via subway started to drop.
"Significant public policy interest in preventing this from occurring."
This is generally accepted to be something along the lines of "I suspect my dentist sexually assaulted me while I was knocked out and have alerted the authorities" not "MEAN DOCOTOR WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANTIBIOTICS FOR A VIRAL INFECTION WORST SERVICE EVER".
But you can sign away your rights in a contract... this is what most contracts are at their core. For example, when I sign a lease on an apartment, I sign away my right to the amount of money the monthly rent is. Without signing that contract, the landowner could not have taken my money.
Likewise, you can sign away your free speech rights... ever heard of a non disclosure agreement?
Anything the federal government creates is in the public domain anyways... I'm sure anything posted on whitehouse.gov will be posted on youtube by any number of bloggers.

Doesn't the EU have the concept of double jeopardy?

You can't stop the signal.
If the student was actually gay then he has no case.

I disagree, domains with what you'd think would be a small target audience can do surprisingly well.
Case in point: .cx

Actually it works more like a block cipher.
Ever heard of AES?

You are already seeing the next generation of spacecraft.

You can't ban free speech, this is true.
