Outside of celebrities and political figures, whose lives are public anyway, the chances of a random person taking a photo of you and posting it on the internet tagged with your name are astronomical.
Worst case, send the host a letter demanding the removal of your name from the image tag. State that it is a risk to your health and safety. Most people, not wanting to be at risk of criminal negligence, will comply.
The solar cells are extremely expensive due to the Gallium in them. It's cheaper to have 1 solar cell with a thousand mirrors reflecting onto it. Hence the stellar luminosity of 1000.
This depends on what percentage of the energy the algae are using for their life processes.
You also have to figure the surface area of the pond into that fun little equation. You won't cover the whole thing in algae. It would be the pond VS an array of solar cells the same size as the pond. Plus, you have to figure that converting heat to electrical energy is FAR less than 40% efficient. So you're going from light to heat to electricity whereas the solar cells go from light to electricity with minimal heat. My bets are on the solar cells.
Of the 4 GB, 1.2 is for the Linux stuff. This leaves you with 2.8 GB of space. That's not very much for a $300 (rounded) media player. At least give this thing a couple SD expansion slots or something!
Let's just work off a gut feeling. Apple, being a corporation, loves to cut corners where people won't notice. Naturally they give people cheap-shit earbuds rather than spending an extra $4 of that $300 and giving them something resonably good for their money (like my Sennheiser MX-400s). So, the detection rate dramatically improved when people had listening devices that were more balanced and more accurately presented the audio.
At this point, everyone in the room said "I've gotta have a pair of these.. oh yea, and 128 kbit AAC (and anything else for that matter) sucks!"
Yeah, cause jumping su or sudo is so hard. Umm.. it is. You need passwords for both of them unless you know about some kind of vulnerability in the version on the machine.
The difference is that hitting someone with a software keylogger is much harder on a Linux box (especially SE Linux). Last I checked, these usually require some sort of LKM, which has to be installed by the superuser. Getting superuser status from a normal user is much easier on a Windows box.
As for hardware keyloggers, the best defense is superglue and a policy of checking attached devices after an extended period of time away from the machine.
The hackers have more manpower than Microsoft. It's also worth noting that they're probably more skilled than the XBL engineers.
Even if Microsoft had 1000 people working on this, the hackers would still be ahead. It's impossible to estimate how many people take a shot at console hacking just for the hell of it.
Inevitably, the hackers dominate just about any platform. That's just the way it works.
I hope Id does something OTHER than an FPS game. The market for those seems to be getting pretty saturated. Imagine what they could do to an RTS with all their graphical godliness. Heck, how about an RPG. Maybe combine the best of two genres. I used to play a HL mod that had a "commander" who saw things from top-down and did the RTS stuff while everyone else was in FPS-mode (think BF2, but SciFi).

Additionally, I don't live in Orange County. I also don't have a father who works at IBM. Strange...
You just ruined someone you don't know!
me =/= TheRedDeath
I just run the place. He's a separate author.
LMAO. I so wish I had mod points for you.
I wonder what Adsense will make of this?

If you enjoy privacy, don't put your personal information (including pictures of yourself) on the internet. What's so hard about that?
xkcd anyone?

Actually, FF3 uses less RAM than my FF2 install. So shove it.
Just for continuity, so does Firefox 3.
Of course it does... you slip the key to them. They decrypt the first scheme. Now they're left with a similarly encrypted file but with another key.
Hey.. even cheap earbuds are better than the default ones.

Pwned.
A determined hacker could have still broken your game (disassembly, DLL-injection, etc).
It's just a matter of the amount of effort someone is willing to put forth.

Oh gods no! BF2142 was miserable!
But have you tried playing Halo with your guitar yet?
That's the new direction they need to start moving in.

I STILL play starcraft!
