No one really knows how fast the SR-71 went, unless they've declassified more information in the last few years. Mach 3 was probably a lowball estimate by the government.
We cannot even define "pornography" in a global sense- except by an ill defined "community standard".
This is a good thing. No definition would please everyone. And liberal communities shouldn't be restricted to what conservative communities deem appropriate.
I miss the days of violent and decadent R-rated action movies. I grew up on these things. I must have been 5 the first time I saw Predator and Die Hard. *sigh*

No Office Suite Google
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Slashdot says that because there's a two minute delay before you can post after a story shows up. This is to (try to) stop frist p0sters.
Getting sort-of-semi-on-topic, shouldn't the headline be "No Google Office Suite"? What is up with the awkward word order?
And getting really on-topic, the announcement was to be expected. It would be unwise for Google to set up the infrastructure necessary to handle people's word processing. Such a device could be too easily abused, by say, programming macros and using Google's cycles to do general purpose computations on their dime. I'm sure there's a way around that particular issue, but it illustrates the inherent security risks of building web interfaces to massive software suites. Any exposed vulnerability will be exploited for processing power, or worse.
I know to what he referred. Double-blind testing has shown that you'd be dumb to buy that snake oil when lamp cord is subjectively indistinguishable. I like to think of myself as a practical audiophile. If I can't tell the difference between two technologies in a double-blind test, I get the cheaper one. Shit, I could buy or build a new amplifier for what the GGP spends on speaker cable.

Durr, this is for distributed installations. Weight is not a factor. Power loss is. Nobody who has speakers installed in their ceiling are going to expect an accurate stereo image anyway. And the technology scales up to large venues like stadia or theme parks. end of story.
Plus, high quality analogue speaker cable costs a *lot* more than cat5.
No it doesn't. Copper wiring is cheap. The most expensive part would be quality connectors (just like cat5). Gold plated connectors might be a good idea, if only to avoid oxidation. But even those can be had cheap.
Nah, comics don't just mean "superhero comics". What are the Sunday comics then? Garfield? Calvin & Hobbes? With the exception of Spaceman Spiff (or whoever he's called - I forgot), those comics have nothing to do with superheroes.
Apart from the fact that the music industry has their claws so deeply sunk into this that you can only skip so many songs per hour (majorly annoying!), the recommendation system does not work very well.
It lets you skip as many as you want if you actually mod the song down. (Click on the album art. Click on "I don't like it.") The recommendation system works a lot better if you mod songs up and down too.
Apparently, you can have multiple radio stations, but not one of mixed genres.
You can add songs or artists to a radio station. I added radically different genres (70's krautrock, early 90's shoegaze, and early 90's to current j-noise (OMG TEH BOREDOMS!)) and it took about an hour of rating songs down for it to find new stuff I like.
HBO is doing no such thing. The content they are spewing into the torrent is much like many comments here -- garbage.
Surely you jest. You do realize that since downloading copyrighted materials is legal in Sweden, bittorrent is a 100% legitimate network service there. HBO uses thousands of hosts to dump garbage on the network in an attempt to disrupt the service. That is the definition of a DDoS attack.
Nonsense indeed! HBO is committing vigilantism (which is illegal) to deny the Swedish of their legal rights. Decry the state of your own civics education. Committing DDoS attacks against people who are asserting their rights is not legal.
So because you misunderstood what I've said, you should therefore put words in my mouth?
Leading questions are bad rhetoric.
To answer your question, HBO could make a good faith effort to not poison users with an IP address from a country where downloading copyrighted materials is legal. Of course, it will never happen.
The Swedes are well within their rights to download copyrighted materials. HBO is illegally taking their rights away. This attack is designed specifically to thwart thepiratebay.

In Soviet Russia, the continued use of played-out slashdot memes laments you!
Yeah. I spent quite a bit of time at Reed's TRIGA Mk1. Cerenkov radiation is purty.
Look up 'burglary' in a legal dictionary. A burglar is a burglar no matter how he breaks into a building.
Those are the funnies.
Yeah! Norton Anti-Virus and AOL would work great with my new shiny Linux box.
Oh lame. Nevermind then. I didn't run into that limitation.

Yes. Not at the consumer level however.
Very few words have their origins "in English." Most English words were borrowed from Anglo-Saxon, German, French, and a bunch of other languages.

Yeah -- if I had some free time I'd offer to help Debian fix their site. It's pretty awful.
