How did this get marked as informative? The processors compared are not, well, comparable. The guy just matched the clock speed with no regard for actual performance. The 3Ghz AMD performs worse than a 2.6Ghz i7
The 3 app limit is identical to what has always been in place for the starter editions. Is the "good fight" really getting this desperate? The "stories" recently have been pretty pathetic.
Your homework policy is very naive and presupposes that your course is the most important course your students are taking. How long are they at school per day? You say you give them 1-2 hours of work a night. If you truly think this is how schools should be taught, you think all courses would need this. How many classes do they have? 4, 5, 6? Let's average your 1-2 hours in to 1.5 hours. With 4 classes, these kids are getting home at 3:30 (ish?) and have homework until 9:30 if they don't eat dinner. 10:30 if they do. Make it 5 classes and suddently we're up to midnight with dinner. 6 classes makes it 1:30 AM. All the while, you are creating completely mal-adjusted children by giving them no time to socialize and develop other aspects of themselves.
You might want to consider stopping overburdening your students with practice and instead improve your teaching methods so that such large amounts of homework are not necessary.
NRS 603A.040 "Personal information" defined. "Personal information" means a natural person's first name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements, when the name and data elements are not encrypted:
1. Social security number.
2. Driver's license number or identification card number.
3. Account number, credit card number or debit card number, in combination with any required security code, access code or password that would permit access to the person's financial account.
Ê The term does not include the last four digits of a social security number or publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public.

Only in the absence of encryption (which happens to be absent on an iPhone).
My BlackBerry on the other hand, I can hand to someone with confidence that my data is safe for the foreseeable future (as with any encryption, it's only secure for as long as it would reasonably take to brute force the password)
It would make a point, but I fear that the reaction would be the opposite of what many of us would like. If we showed holes in the security theater that has been built, stricter measures would be put in place and all travellers would be inconvenienced even more.
I'm actually really surprised that the summary suggests that.
If by a stinker you mean you suck at lying... Yes.
You borrowed a MAC address. A piece of information that only lives on in your specific network segment and then attached it to wireless that was set up by someone who wasn't smart enough to secure it. This means it was no doubt set up with the default config which means it was a router...
The network admin had a super special routable MAC address did he?
The bug would be in the enforcement of the check when it does not apply, not in the very existence of it.
Do you agree that a full disk encryption product needs to protect the data from unauthorized access in every way possible?
If you agree to the above, do you assert that despite that, it should allow access to the data when the environment is verifiably NOT what it expects?
I'm not suggesting that the Windows boot loader is infallible (far from it), but it seems like you are suggesting that the FDE solution should continue on its merry way when it has detected an obvious deviation from the environment that it was designed to work in? We make sacrifices in usability and performance when we want to ensure that our data is safe. This disabling would obviously be purposeful. However, what I am saying is that if it is triggered when it does not apply (when FDE isn't enabled, for example), *THAT* is a bug.
Ok, I'll be a pedant again. The jokes that use 127.0.0.1 are using it as a substitution. As such, a name that resolves to 127.0.0.1 would fit the theme (a substitution). Technically, 127.0.0.1 is the loopback, but all mainstream os's that I know of by default resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1 as well. Either will work, and I definitely meant localhost (though loopback works as well).
The point is, it should say something like I'm not at ~ right now, or there is no place like ~. Definitely not there is no place like 127.0.0.1 though.
Ok, I'm being a pedant here, but who cares if you aren't at local/localhost. 127.0.0.1 has never meant home in any situation other than people substituting it in to sentences (like that no place like 127.0.0.1 t-shirt).
The problem with your analogy is that they are making a profit on it (well, they won't now). The people who use the argument you are talking about for copying music/games/etc don't turn around and make mixed CDs, package them, and sell them as their own work (except puff daddy).
All this tells us is that the previous generation of cards are still ahead of the cpu. When you see cards with similar framerates for lower resolutions and then they diverge at higher res, it tells you that it is the processor limiting the framerate at those resolutions. Sure, we can get a little more efficient and raise those lower resolution framerates (or, more realistically use better anti-aliasing, AF, etc to make it look better), but in general where the benefit comes with new cards these days is by allowing higher resolution gaming.
Actually, it is a device made for the sole purpose of propelling a projectile to really fast speeds. Any application of this function is the responsibility of the individual user.
It always amuses me that the slashdot crowd will defend some technology (e.g. vulnerability detection software, p2p, etc) and claim that the individual is responsible for the use, but then say things like what you've said.
By the way, bittorrent is made for the sole purpose of unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works. (see how that sounds? now reread what you wrote)
I guess we only believe in individual responsibility here when it fits our agenda.
Hey, your irrational fear of firearms is showing. RTFA. There was no waving of anything. It says they were in plain view in his truck. In other words, he had a gun rack... Oh no. He had a gun rack with guns on it. RUN TO THE HILLS!
If these people were scared by the mere presence of a few guns, this seriously worries me about the future of the 2nd amendment. I guess there is solace to be taken in knowing that the people who would read that comic and go to that place aren't a very good representative set of the people though.

Who needs padding anyway? We'll just make more when it is killed in shipping...

RTFL. There is "personal information"

I purposefully didn't mention civil liberties since we seem to have already given those up without a fight. :(

(I, however, use the Windows boot loader.)
I have Vista Enterprise on a dual boot laptop with a TPM that I have never enabled. Installing SP1 did nothing adverse to the dual boot capability.
No. Common sense would say it's a bug. Tin-foil-hat sense would say, "it is there for the purpose of limiting consumer choice."
Because as we all know, parabolic dishes only work to receive and will not allow you to direct your emitted RF...
Oh wait... bouncy bouncy works both ways.
I think you're a little confused at how light at xray wavelengths work and diffraction in general.

Still it worries me.
