I wonder why they use a sphere. To me it seems more logical to use a silicon crystal of known dimensions. Crystals are guaranteed to have integer number of atom planes whereas sphere is somewhat diffuse on the edges.
This is very good news. At last we got a separate device which I can hook up to any screen and which provides touchscreen functionality. Well, yes it's windoze only and laptop only but hey, the technology is here and I think they will be making devices like this for other monitors and OS's a well. I always hated windowing environments with OK/Cancel/etc buttons because they made me use the mouse. Touchscreen and pen is better because you may look where you point your cursor AND see your hand and pen at the same time. I thought it's no big deal until I tried to use applications with lots of small buttons packed together like MS Word or OpenOffice. Mis-clicking is so annoying. Maybe it's just me and my shakey hands but come on! Resume: I'd like to have such a device for my CRT monitor. THIS one is not for me though yet.
All we know that the fictional Skynet messed up the USA. Period. What it did to the rest of the world is unknown, however, we can safely assume that small British Isles weren't harmed. So...
I'm terribly sorry to be ignorant of what those are, but could somebody please give some links and references? The article itself say nothing at all. Bad article.
What would you expect after you yourself put economic sanctions on them? Some kind of economic wonder? And however they managed to make an a-bomb after all.
Seriously, if she never used a computer then she didn't buy any media or software, so media producers lost profits. That's even worse than pirates 'cuz hardware manufacutrers lose profits either! Jail her now.
80 CPUs and 5 months to breack lousy 640 bits... Oh what a great achievement. I wonder how much time they will need to break 1024 bits used everywhere for some time now and then 2048 which is GPG default key size.
Well, we may consider RSA still safe given that most script kiddies don't have even two cpus at their disposal.
As to the guys who did break it, I allow them to have a cookie.
Hey, what about not sending the whole RSS xml (which could be huge) but just the diffs with previous? Like cvs or cvsup. This will save a ton of bandwidth.
> If you want to stop spammers you have to stop them > from stealing bandwidth
this only can be done by altering SMPT protocol and forbidding setting more than one recipient per email. Thus, spammers will have to send their billion emails one by one instead of specifying a zillion email as recipients and one body.
And that won't work because it's impossible to make such an adjustment to the protocol and make everyone to use it.

Microsoft Sues Spammers

· Score: 2, Interesting
> We can never expcet to get rid of spam completely
I agree with you mostly. But I have a proposition for a law which IMO will kill much spam.
How about prosecuting not just the spammers (who spam) but also the firms who BUY spam? Well, OK, we jail that poor dude who sent 1 billion spam emails advertising viagra. So what? Viagra seller (or myabe even viagra producer himself, who knows?!) will move to another spammer and the whole mess continues! But if we prosecute the advertiser as well as the spammer, they will fear paying for spam. And they are much easier to locate because their contact info is right there in the spam message!
Yes, I agree, that is very rough and has to be improved and worked on, and yes I see that this law may be a means for drowning a competitor (send a lot of spam with competitor's advertisement and he is in a jail) but nevetherless I think it's a good idea.
You know what? This what you say is true for EVERY nation and EVERY government. There are ALWAYS malcontent people in every country. And it's government's job to suppress those. When the govt is unable to do it... boom!.. the country disintegrates.
And with the USA it's true too: the USA government keeps the country from disintegration by force. Isn't high treason a crime in the US? Or maybe espionage? Why can't I go around military objects and photograph them? Oh, shit, I'm a free journalist, I want photos of your missile silos and the new experimental submarine damn it, don't arrest me!!!
> Method a: we refuse to deal with china. China > remains a thid world country with no middle class
Yeah. You've exported a lot of your own industry to China, because it's cheaper. So, first thing is: you are interested in China being a third world country, because it's the only way for you to have a cheaper workforce. And the second thing is: are you so sure that they will just give you your factories and plants back? Thay have bombs, as you've said yourself.
> Method b: we make china a trade partner, export > as much of our culture as we can, and china > becomes a nation of the fastest rising middle > class in the world
You've already done it with the USSR. And it's gone. Yugoslavia? Gone too. Now it's Ukraine's turn to go. That's what your so called "partnership" and "culture" do.
As to the middle class it's just propaganda. "Middle class is good". Don't make me laugh. China is not ready for any middle classes. It's in industrial age yet, but it will soon catch up. Think of it: if your population is 80% farmers, what middle class can there be?

Strangely enough, with such a high IQ you confused intellect and knowledge.

If you are, it's a damn funny one.

On the contrary,
no harm == legitimate
A crime is defined as a socially dangerous deed.
If you bring no harm you are not socially dangerous, therefore, you're not a criminal
