It's like giving a zombie vaccine to the people in a little town surrounded by cities... without the vaccine.
What use is disabling use of old formats supposedly vulnerable to viruses, if most of the botnets are in countries where machines run older copies of Windows and will NEVER be updated?
Actually, I'm hoping for Linux ports of ANY commercial games. I've mailed a few game distributors asking why don't they include Linux versions of their games. The same answer: Not enough market share (and how do you expect the market share if the game publishers don't make Linux games? HMPH!)
Why do they keep selling themselves to DirectX instead of OpenGL? GRRRR!
Regional designations. OK. So if it's egyptian, it's pyramids. If it's foreign, it's "squared-based volumes with triangular walls". Hey, it works for champagne and tequila:D
The problem isn't actually the breaking, it's everyone not giving enough room between themselves and the person ahead of them to absorb small slowdowns.
Yeah, but when you start giving enough room between you and the car ahead, an idiot besides you speeds up and steals your place:-/
I think the couple should have been given a fine 4 or 5 times the equivalent of the fines given for drunken driving. (Because a helicopter can destroy 4 or 5 times stuff than what a drunken driver can).
Let me share an experience I had. I'm accustomed to play mp3 tunes directly from my PC - nonstop.
The other day, i turned on the radio, and I was amazed at the bunch of high volume crap (commercials) that played. And I was like - WHAT? People GET ACCUSTOMED TO THIS YELLING?? No wonder stress levels are so high. Man.
Screw them. I'm going to keep playing my MP3's and if by any chance I hear a good tune in the radio, I'll rip it.
The 4S uses neutron reflector panels around the perimeter to maintain neutron density. These reflector panels replace complicated control rods, yet keep the ability to shut down the nuclear reaction in case of an emergency. Additionally, the Toshiba 4S utilizes liquid sodium as a coolant, allowing the reactor to operate 200 degrees hotter than if it used water. This means that the reactor is depressurized, as water at this temperature would run at thousands of pounds per square inch.
This is interesting. As stated in the previous nuclear reactor article entitled "China goes Nuclear", uranium is kept in small pebbles made of graphite, which is a neutron reflector material.
Both reactor designs have a "negative temperature coefficient of reactivity" simply means that an increase in core temperature will cause a decrease in core power. If the temperature increases too much, the core will shut down. I don't know if the pebble-bed design does, but the 4S still produces heat after being shot down (I'm not sure if the pebble-bed reactor does), so there must be some mechanism provided to remove the generated heat.
More interesting facts: pebble-bed reactors use helium as coolant instead of water, and helium is much more resistant to becoming radioactive - this deals with the possibility of having a radioactive cloud in case of an accident. The 4S, in comparison, uses liquid sodium as coolant, allowing the reactor to operate 200 degrees hotter than if it used water. This means that the reactor is depressurized, as water at this temperature would run at thousands of pounds per square inch.
IANANS (I am not a nuclear scientist), but the pebble-bed design seems very well-thought, requiring less control mechanisms than the 4S, so I think I'd go for the pebble-bed design.
Is there any nuclear scientist around to give more info and comparisons, and correct any mistakes I may have made?
A few decades ago, entering a white-only place if you were black made you a criminal. Not paying your taxes in protest (if you're against the Iraq war, for example) makes you a criminal. When Gandhi burned official documents in protest, he became a criminal.
In other words, if you do anything against the Law (even if the law is draconian and only supports the rich and powerful), you're a criminal. But that doesn't make you a bad person.
If the Law was fair and protected the weak from the powerful, I would agree, no one should break the law. But what can I say about a system so screwed up that forces a single mother to pay 200 thousand dollars JUST because she had 24 mp3 files in her shared folder, even when NO TRANSFER could be proven?
The current copyright law is rotten. Feel free to disobey it whenever you please (just don't come whining if you get caught).
(BTW, who modded parent funny? I'd mod him insightful instead)
I'm pro-murder. Yeah, that's what the religious freaks would like to call it, I don't mind indulging them.
But, puhlease give up the single-issue bullshit. The enemy of good is perfect. You will never find a candidate -- mainstream or fringe -- that perfectly represents every one of your hot button issues, whatever they may be.
I'm pro-life, but I wholeheartedly agree with your second statement. Actually, I think that the enemy of good is religious bigotry. Because instead of caring how the US screws up the lives of millions of people living in other countries (Cuba, Chile - remember Pinochet? -, Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, and let's not forget the Walmart empire and the effect of dumping in other nations' economies), religious bigots only care about whether a candidate is a "born again christian".
If we're in the edge of starting World War III, and the only candidate who can prevent it supports abortion, then hell yeah, I'd vote for him. I'm sick tired of family and society issues become a lame excuse to vote for the worst politicians in history.
Let society decide through OTHER means about abortion, condoms and homosexuality, and stop those motherf***** politicians use family values as a flag to promote themselves. What a bunch of hypocrites. They make me sick.
Face it, if MS is screwed, don't screw the whole world with it! We have enough problems already. Sheesh, stop acting like a spoiled child and start acting with some dignity for once.
I just spoke to the principal of the high-school -- nice enough fellow. According to him: * The kid altered the document after scanning it * The kid was punished for mouthing off to the teacher, not for using Firefox * The kid had been asked to work in Word on a resume (the assignment) and kept looking at the Web instead (and this was a recurring problem) * The kid has admitted this and will be posting a followup/correction/retraction today
It appears that the student wasn't JUST using "a better browser". He was browsing OTHER STUFF on the web. Too bad.
Better summary: "Student Given Detention for being better informed than the teacher".
IMO, the student should frame that paper and hang it on his wall. We need more people like him. And seriously, what kind of school education system allows teachers to be outsmarted by their students? Oh, right, the teachers are only doing their job, instead of actually LEARNING SOMETHING to teach their students!
Worse - the reward for challenging the system and trying to improve it is detention. Go figure.
We should be concerned over the telecoms so they can't be bullied by the NSA into doing evil. I agree, it's the Executive who makes them do it. But that's what the balance of powers is for, so one branch of the govt can't abuse that power. This isn't just about punishing the abusers, but also to PREVENT that abuse. If telecoms can be legally punished for following orders (even if they go against the Law), they'll think twice before doing it. And that's a good thing. After all, what's left of a gang leader without the gang?

Metallic skeleton? Who needs a metallic skeleton when you can build your own catgirl! =^_^=
So? Let them have it, and then give them enough space so that you won't have to brake.
Yeah, but to give them enough space you have to brake, causing the very same problem that you want to avoid.
Yeah, but when you start giving enough room between you and the car ahead, an idiot besides you speeds up and steals your place
Conclusion: Traffic jams are caused by idiots.
Exactly. IMHO, he's saying that Secunia vulnerability comparisons aren't any more reliable than numerology predictions.
there's a patch available, but it involves penguins ;-)
that EU did something the US government wouldn't.
There, fixed it for ya.

However, I'm not sure how safe sodium is, and we all know what happens when sodium comes in contact with water - and heated sodium explodes just as easily when it's exposed to air. Helium, instead, is an inert gas.

the fix for this is not a big deal - it fit in the subject field of this post.

I wouldn't want to be friendly with THAT neighbor - would you?
Dear Steve:

GP poster meant Ron Paul. You haven't been reading social networking news recently, have you?
They want their geocities ads back.
I was going to post the same thing but I searched for your post first (hey, apparently I'm smarter than Ohio govt :P )
My guess is that after the breach, McAffee contacted the guys, who, obviously, haven't got a clue, and in a knee-jerk reaction said "yes, please!".
All those tax dollars... what a waste.
