That's why the British plugs have the fuse inside them - every device has its own fuse with an appropriate rating. Fuses go from 1A up to 13A depending on whether it's a lamp or a heater.
Black people are different on the outside, why can't they be different on the inside, too?...and if they're different, why is it hard to believe that somebody with an agenda can make a test which shows that difference?
nb. If IQ is your only measure of a person then you're doing it wrong. There's very little relationship between 'high IQ' and 'being smart'.
Having no experience whatsoever in aqua-engines I can positively state that your car isn't going to run on water.
Having no experience whatsoever in zero-point energy I can positively state that your perpetual motion machine isn't.
Plants don't need carbon -they get that from the air.
Plants DO need nutrients which aren't found in exhaust fumes.
That's called science. If you want this discussion to continue you have to provide evidence which refutes the science, not offer us the number of idiots in the world are prepared to believe in crackpots as some kind of "proof".
I knew loads of people who had rooms *full* of cassette tapes. You could record music off the (freely broadcast) radio and all the car boot sales sold pirate tapes.
The idea that:
a) Every downloaded copy is a lost sale
and
b) P2P has somehow changed the piracy game.
Is ridiculous.
Some people just copy/hoarde, period. They're not going to buy legally no matter what.
a) If they knew enough about it to put "reboot every 36 hours" in the manual they knew enough to fix it.
b) According to the summary, 36 hours would still be a complete miss (a third of 687 meters is still 229)
c) A fixed point integer (32 bits) can mark tenths of seconds with complete accuracy for over 13 years.
d) Leaving aside a,b and c, the story still doesn't make any sense. The system would start the calculation the moment it saw the missile, not 100 hours before it appeared on the radar.
Now... at the speed of a scud missile (mach 5 if google serves me), it may be that an accuracy of 1/10th second isn't enough to compute the trajectory accurately enough to intercept it. At that speed you might need 10,000th second resolution or whatever. *That* would be believable (but unlikely - the designers would have to be complete idiots).
The rest of the article? Yawn. It's the same old recycled story we've been seeing since the 1970s (those of us who are old enough).
Wasn't there a big fuss made when film studios started altering swear-words in movies?
If I was a book author and people were using computer-generated synonyms in my books I'd be even angrier...it's far more destructive than changing 'damn' to 'fuck' at the end of Gone With The Wind.
Adding "On The Internet" to an idea automatically invalidates all prior art, everybody knows that.
Back in the 80s we used to change random tabs to spaces and add spaces to the end of lines to 'fingerprint' source code. Yes it could have been filtered using 'pp', if you knew about it.
Don't go all googly-eyed and install an update two minutes after it's released. Wait a few days until the idiots have tested it....but you knew that, right?
FTA: "By comparing the cards and gambling patterns, the computer can identify a card counter inside 20 hands - even if the gambler starts off with a run of high bets to confuse the system."

When I was at school plants needed Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in their fertilizer ( http://www.google.es/search?q=npk+fertilizer ).
I'm guessing the bumper crop won't last very long...
I'd vote for that as a standard.
Can I hate all the multimedia/hyperlink/scripting/vulnerabilities they've added to PDF?
I'll back this so long as it's PDF light - text and graphics only (OK, maybe I'll allow hyperlinks...).
I'm calling "Horsepoo" on the whole story.

This is why we need debtors prisons - so people can't escape responsibility by fiddling books and declaring bankruptcy.
Make him work it off in a sweatshop for the rest of his days.
There's a difference between buying cheap Chinese shit at the dime store and buying high-profile technology from them. Oh, the shame...
Hopefully they can shame the USA into taking some 'retaliatory' action.
Fingers crossed.
Pretty good summary - but I've got no mod points.

Yes... but Amazon is doing it On The Internet.

You don't know what "diff" is, do you?

The tesla has hundreds of laptop batteries in it, each with the energy of a hand grenade. What if something goes wrong...?
Ok, there's no speed advantage, but...
Is there a lifespan advantage to be had from moving all your files around the SSD once in a while?
eg. You could move the least-used cells to the most-used cells to even out the wear.
But if we're honest, only the jealous people say that.
That every pirated copy is a lost sale. If he's thinking "I could have made five times as much" then he's very mistaken.
My MR2 disagrees with you
Why would anybody expect Windows 7 to be magically faster at crunching numbers? It's 100% CPU dependent and no OS can speed up your CPU.
It only has 43 features so what's the problem? Many other Office suites have hundreds!!
Yes, but .... they claim to be able to spot a counter by that time, *even if* the counter is playing to fool the system.
Not gonna happen.

Yeah, right...
