No matter how complex our security systems get, no matter how secure we can encrypt passwords to prevent brute force cracking of them, there will always be that human element of weakness. There will always be that one person who can be easily tricked over the phone to give out a password. There will always be that one person who will use their first name and last initial (ahem...half life 2 forum admin) as their password. So we really can't get top notch security without excellent education to these people on what to do in these situations.
Yes, alcohol is treated as forbidden and a terrible thing....until your 21 in our society. Yah I have always thought that by limiting people for such a long time from alcohol that we don't know how to handle it when we get our hands on it. Looking at some european countries where the kids are allowed to drink at a young age, we notice that they become experienced with it and know how to handle it when they get older.
There are only a handful of politicians that want the drinking age changed. I say in our falling economy we lower it and put some extra bucks into stuff. But we have a policy of stubborness and I doubt it will be changed.
It is very true that you need your ID on you at all times, if you do not have an ID, a cop can hold you up to 72 hours. (about?) But the thing to remember is, that this will never really happen, unless the cop is really really really being a prick and you're doing something that's pissing him off but not quite illegal.
Its nothing to worry about really unless the cop is racist or trying to bust you for something and needs a cause.
I wish this were the case, but the rate of deaths due to teenage drunk driving or just being stupid did go down significantly since the age was raised. Perhaps we Americans are just a little too stupid with that stuff or we aren't introduced to it early enough.
From my experience, most non-techy computer people who have been persuaded into Firefox have absolutely no idea its open source, or what open source is.
The game, "Soccer Manager 2005", contained content that harmed China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and violated Chinese law, the Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday
The article answered that quite nicely. China's government is very sensitive about territorial issues.
Very true, I hardly consider something an easter egg if it's as easy as pressing down on the remote a couple times and...ooh looky there I guess I can select the person's eyeball...ooh a hidden menu?
If you remember those old easter eggs in old versions of excel (where you could fly around), the way to get to those easter eggs wasn't very easy and IMO would be basically impossible to discover without looking it up on the web. So I can't say that they've made this specific egg way too hard to find.
My AMD is assembled in Malaysia, but its schematics aren't designed over there. Even though Lenovo will be getting their own tech support from the design crew at IBM you have to wonder if new parts will be any good?
Also was the main point of Lenovo buying this to get the IBM name? Is there a patent IBM has in how they assemble their laptops?
"The more electronic and global we get, the less important the spoken word has become, and in e-mail clarity is critical," said Sean Phillips, recruitment director at another Silicon Valley corporation
Its not all due to the rise in technology, but rather the decline in writing skills and vocabulary in general among more recent generations.
I don't have too many years under my belt (less than 50), but every year has gotten hotter and hotter and less snow. 10 years ago we had blizzards constantly, last year we maybe had 2 days of snow.
That could just be a natural variance in temperature between seasons, but it seems to go hand in hand with all this talk about global warming.
"The next powerhouses will be China and India because of their population"
Rather the the next powerhouses will be A. European countries in the European Union and B. China (and surrounding countries) due to the regional trade blocks and similiar currency being formed in those areas. That will effectively cause a shift from our current system , that being unipolarity, to the rise of multipolarism.
I honestly have not watched one minute of TV since moving to where I am now, I don't get anything out of it. I can't tell it to go somewhere, except to another crappy channel. Plus cable costs alot more than my internet subscription. So I say no to the TV yo.
Perhaps Nintendo should start concentrating on ressurecting their dying gaming empire instead of pouring money into a movie that probably won't break even at the box office.
I just started, and yah it seems like a mix of EE and CompSci. But its just something I really want to do. Oh well, we'll see if I go insane in a few years or not.

You are forgetting "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", which also stars our friend Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson.

Not only that, but I have migrated to Minnesota in search of a lower cost of drinking tickets...$130 beats $300+ any day sir.
In essence, we own the lego.

I'd actually be more worried about accessing certain servers or addresses due to the tendency of admins to ban *!*@aol.com out of desperation.

Actually "John Sheppard" at the beginning of the submission is the link...very cleverly hidden! Almost like an easter egg itself!
I understand, I am without coffee tonight too. Sometimes stuff slips by without me noticing.

I find it interesting that "screw mao" returns absolutely no results. Must be a bug! ;)
Not that I'd know, being loyal to AMD and all.
I would have liked to see what percentage of servers OS's like Solaris, Microsoft, and other *nix made up of the total "internet".

This is awesome man, I've always wanted to bootstrap a PDA or maybe even a wrist watch!
Oh dear yes it is unethical! I wouldn't want this to happen at all, I was just mentioning it because it was the only thing I could think of :)
