No botnet attack, just bittorrent traffic, with the stripes being times when the client used inside the "US government agency" is uploading traffic data at the request of the tracker, and the high activity countries being those with good broadband connectivity and serving lots of packets:P
I don't know about others, but for each of these errors that gets publicized, even when it's been at least a year since the error was discovered, my confidence in the scientific community increases, since science is about method not about data. Data will change, and "evidence" will be refuted or reinterpreted, but as long as there is a process in place for identifying errors, it's fine.
News like these only cause the "peer review" process to lose credibility, since Pachauri uses it to pass the buck down the food chain and get himself clean of any blame. It used to be that the journals were "editor reviewed", and you knew exactly whom to blame when something went very wrong, like in this situation. Now it's "peer reviewed" (the editor was also a "peer", ya know), and nobody is responsible for anything, since the "peers" are anonymous.
So, they will arrest Aspies, agoraphobics and, well, people that forgot to bring their glasses... not to forget those flying economy class for 14 hours, who will definitely behave in bizarre ways until the blood returns to their feet.
The West tried to the same intervention in China, and the result was the Boxer Rebellion.
... the West got deep into China only after the Boxers besieged the embassies. Before that it was only a matter of China taxing European imports so hard that only opium found a market, while Europe was dealing with a huge trade deficit.
Like having elected chief of executive power, freedom of movement and employment, freedom of trade (like, real, not quotas etc.), single Foreign Affairs and Defence etc. ?
"you're missing the fact that China has been around a lot longer"
which China ?
I propose we rewrite the history books in Europe and former colonies to make it all about Rome: Eastern Rome, Western Rome, Transatlantic Rome, French Rome etc.; change the word "state" with the word "dynasty", so it would look like there is only one state, just has a bit of trouble staying in one piece right now... or even better, start with Sumer and have one 5000 years old country to best the 4500 years of "China".
China that we know today was put together by Mao, out of a gazillion small states enjoying various degrees of sovereignty and legal legitimacy, much like Europe was before Napoleon.
It's neither: it's the tower lowering the value of their properties, which means they will have more trouble getting loans etc. They want the tower gone and probably would invoke the Babel story if given half a chance.
NIMBY is something to laugh about until it's your backyard, you want to take/refinance/consolidate loans, and the bank recommends you go take a hike or gives you an interest rate larger by 5% because your house is not worth (for real, idiotic, subjective or hypochondriac reasons) what you paid for it.
You already got to Jupiter 30 years ago... the point is to get there and have something to do besides gawking at the beautiful colors.
AFAIK, all the interesting (like those that produces more than pretty pictures in fake colors of distant gas bags) US space projects were done, or funded, by the US military; looking at what kind of projects they finance, my bet is the next big vehicle will come either from private companies, or from the US Air Force or Navy.
my question was a trick, too: Intel sold quite a few onboard graphic chips as "Vista Ready" in the past; I bought one without doing my homework before, and right now I am quite cautious when it comes to Intel hype.
a C&C server won't send "100 gigs a day over port 25", most likely will send 100 megs a day over some random port.
My ISP checks manually every domain registered through them or hosted on a DS or VPS: for funny names, fake street addresses etc.
How do you define "unusual/anomalous" traffic ? Like when I host an online shop, and I get a lot of traffic on the 9494 (no, it's not that port, only an example) port where I keep my jsonrpc server ?
Plotting traffic and plotting destinations is fine with me... plotting traffic against destinations on a regular basis, that's quite close to looking at my client base, and I would not want that to happen: the only thing worse they could do would be to dump my databases and look for clients lists.
ISPs have to thread a thin line when dealing with fraud: if they kick out a legitimate user, next day Slashdot etc. will be up with pitchforks and torches, and in a month they'll have an empty datacenter, if not an army of lawyers camping outside the gate.
yeah, right, the ISPs are greedy bastards... now, please, tell me, how would an ISP know that one of the dedicated servers it sold, or one of the collocated servers it hosts, is a C&C server for a botnet ? Please, ton't tell me they should look inside the packets, or plot traffic, destinations etc.... that's invasion of privacy at best, industrial espionage at worst, and I would not want to host my servers with an ISP that does that on a regular basis.
Until C&C data bounced around by botnets will look radically different from legitimate trafic from, for example, a SOAP server, ISPs cannot do police work. Know an ISP that hosts botnet-related servers ? Please, tell them: they will be quite grateful to kick the bastards out and rent the space to companies that need a vanity page.
I'm waiting for the "Avatar" lunches, "Avatar" action figures, "Avatar" mini-novel series and "Avatar" comics... which cannot be absent: any corporate-culture-bashing movie would be meaningless without them.
except "Star Wars" did not quote from "Dragonriders of Pern", and if I heard right that the mind of the planet was called "aiua" or something like that, Cameron also quoted from the "Ender" series, besides what was... well, stolen, from Dancing with the Wolves and Starship Troopers...
Javascript + Greasemonkey... at 12 years, I suspect it will be a lot more fun to mess with web pages than to mess with registers. Otherwise, Perl + Moose + WWW::Mechanize, just tell him about robots.txt
... well, I supposed that they refused to see the special effects because the story is so painfully boring that they cannot take the pain, not even for the sake of the glorious special effects. I would have enjoyed the special effects if I was deaf, and did not hear the lines the director, probably under the pain of death or permanent unemployment, forced the actors to say.

After we tried to turn it into a puppet state, the local population revolted and threw us out.

no, it's not, just a trade cartel
China is exporting a lot of beetle sugar ... won't import from Costa Rica.
I think leaving TPS reports and most of the memos in plain text is the best strategy to befuddle the competition.
The biggest threat is the inside man, not the "man in the middle".
no, more like the Holy Roman Empire ... the German one

" a lot of folk religion and superstition there, and they don't really understand how technology works"
TFA proves that this is the same everywhere, just superstitions are different.
WWII tanks could be in service, except they would be useless now. It's not about robustness, but about usability :P

Cernobyl did not melt down: the boiler burst ...
don't need a dockable keyboard, just an usb port and support for keyboard in software ... and maybe a on-screen keyboard.
At 200$ I would probably buy one.
my question was a trick, too: Intel sold quite a few onboard graphic chips as "Vista Ready" in the past; I bought one without doing my homework before, and right now I am quite cautious when it comes to Intel hype.
well ... is it "Vista Ready"?
