Preposterous. GSM's data burst frequency is in the range of human hearing. However, the signal isn't strong enough for you to hear, unless the signal is amplified somehow. The speakers and their cables allow the signal to pass through an amplifier, allowing you to hear it. The only way that would hurt us is if we had giant antennas connecting to amplifiers embedded in our ears, and becoming deaf from the loud noises.
Kidding aside, the worry over cellphones is the damage that might result from the RF energy being emitted. However RF energy is non-ionizing radiation, so the frequency is way too low to do any sort of damage to your DNA. I believe it's media fueled hype, but I'm not an expert on the subject.
Either way, the real danger that cell phones present are when someone happens to be using one and driving a car.
Any computer science courses I take there are usually about 65% whites, the rest being asian, people from the middle east, and a few blacks. There are a few women too, and some pretty fine asian ladies might I add.
Now if we look at my electrical/computer engineering courses, whites are probably in the minority. Never seen one girl in any of 'em.
The above seems to conflict with other poster's experiences, but perhaps that's just because I live in a progressive and very diverse city.
Actually, it may not completely and totally free. While signing up and reading the license (yes, some people do) it said this:
2. FEES AND SERVICES . Subject to Section 15 herein, the Service is provided without charge to You for up to 5 million pageviews per month per account...
The license doesn't go on to say if you will be charged a fee after exceeding the limit or if they just plain won't do any more analyzing for you.
Wow someone please mod this up +5 informative; parent is the only person that seems to be talking any sense. There was no ruling, they just refused to hear the case. The US Supreme Court only accepted around 80 cases last year and turned down thousands.
They aren't making any rulings or statements or anything like that. Hell, they denied the case without comment. Probably not important enough for their time. The assumption made by the submitter about anyone can now modify their software however they want is pure BS and sensationalism.
Well it is nice to know that I am a somewhat responsible administrator, as it seems like I survived an attack. In my logs I was wondering why I was getting random hits on pages such as "xmlrpc.php" when I didn't have any pages named that. This happened 7 days ago by the way, so it must be around that old.
I find it kind of strange however that if you go to services/xmlrpc.php on my website, you get a webpage that is actually services.html. No services/xmlrpc.php or even services directory exists in my htdocs folder. Going to plain xmlrpc.php brings up a 404. However I scanned for open UDP ports and neither 7111 or 7222 are open, so according to McAfee I'm not infected. I'm probably just unknowledgable on what xmlrpc.php is, but it is still strange.
Isn't that a little like saying that if the police can't catch John Q. Bank Robber in the bank, then the law shouldn't be enforced after he leaves?
Not really, I think you are thinking about it too hard. I don't see how hard it would be to program a function in the game that checks during character creation if the name is either a famous person, a military title, or a variation of the spelling of a military title. Giving players the false impression that the name they use is ok and then taking it away from them later is going to make them angry.
I always presumed that a lot of causes of death were a result of an aged body, among other things. As far as I know the most common types of death happen to folks who are usually older instead of younger folks, like heart disease. So I think having a young healthy body prevents a lot of diseases from occurring, but as far as I know cancer doesn't depend on your age at all. Judging from what I read from TFA, it appears that he has specific goals to prevent many kinds of diseases with his therapy, like Alzheimers.
As far as cancer goes...since cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell division (and the fact that these cells can invade other tissues) and in my understanding, pretty much sporadic or random if outside environmental issues (smoking, etc) are ignored, it seems like it is only a matter of time before someone gets cancer. If you could actually live to be 1000 until your body just gave out, the likelihood of having cancer in those years would have to be extremely high. However, it appears that curing cancer is one of Aubrey's goals...so that's not a problem either.
Interestingly enough, before he started working with biology, he was trained in computer science.
I was under the impression that law enforcement couldn't force someone to give up a secret key or password to an encrypted file so they can use the file in court because it constitutes a violation of the defendant's 5th amendment rights...
...nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself...
Isn't forcing someone to give up their password or whatever the same thing as requiring someone to waive their privilege against self-incrimination in order to obtain evidence to which he/she is legally entitled (which is a violation of the 5th amendment)?
The 32 bit binary of mplayer will be all that you need. The 64 bit version of mplayer will lack some important windows/quicktime codecs, but you probably aren't worried about that.
Mplayer is available for a multitude of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, and *nix. In fact my girlfriend uses mplayer and mplayer only on her Mac OS X due to Quicktime being unable to play a large amount of movies.
Of course if you want dvd playback you will need libdvdcss, libdvdread, etc.
Get mplayer here.
Well, instead of complaining, does anyone have any tips for running Shockwave on Linux? Is it possible to use Wine or Cedega, or do we have to use something like Crossover?
Not quite. Can you take the Open Solaris source code and release "Geek Solaris 4.2"? Nope. Sun would kill you over the Solaris trademark. Yet anyone can take Linux and make "Geek Linux 4.2 (The best Linux yet!)".
My girlfriend enjoys playing Neverwinter Nights online with me. Since we are sorta far away from each other this summer its a fun way to stay connected.
Lemme tell ya, there is absolutely nothing more fun than fighting your girlfriend to the death in PVP arena!
So most of the 10% females left in this area have resorted to saying "welcome home master"? I feel kinda awkward saying this, but any self-respecting (woman-loving?) geek should be trying to get the hell OUT of there as soon as possible, not try to rush into this place.
Hey man, my girlfriend (who is very self-respecting) addresses me as master quite often. Well usually it's only during sex. Still...quite often.
You sir, have made my day, but please don't tell my girlfriend, who happens to be asian, I was looking at these or she will cut off my balls in a jealous rage.
I see your logic but I'd have to disagree. Changing these two bytes will not changes the original product, which is the read-only CD.
Also, changing these two bytes "uncripples" this product. Overclocking usually "cripples" the hardware in the long run in my opinion.

Anyone else know about this? Was there a memo??

People driving flying cars? I believe that would actually result in an inverse of the 1000 years life expectancy.

Really, it is fascinating what you can do if you have money to lose.
Eh I'm pretty sure bandwidth==money for OSDN, with the Ad's and all.
Hmm. Check this and then this out.
Funny coming from Maddox, since his website seems to be much like a blog itself. Quite a hoot to read though.
I don't think posting un-anonymously necessarily constitutes to one having a spine.
This is VERY much in relevance to the article submitted and Bush. Please look at this before modding the parent post as offtopic.
I wouldn't blame Apple for dropping IE completely if Microsoft doesn't cough up a less-than-ancient version for them this time around.
