There are definitely things about our lives that science cannot understand and never will understand and though people may disagree about what these things are, it does not mean that these things have no answers and do not exist.
This is a rather broad statement without any fact. Currently it is not known whether science will eventually be able to explain everything.
I can't believe that the press still uses Shawn Woolley as an example of MMO addiction. The Inquirer glosses over the fact he had a fairly serious mental illness, as I recall he had episodes where he believed game characters were chasing down the street.
This was not a normal guy.
This statement makes no sense at all. Do you have any idea how fast AES is? On my puny, 2 year old, cheap crap Dell computer, I just benchmarked 256 bit AES, it can encrypt 55.3 MB/s. Fifty-five megabytes per second! That's fast as hell! By little computing power, are you reffering to ENIAC? 'Cause I bet even that transistor-less monster can crank out a few kbs per seconds, AES is that fast. I routinely watch Hi-Def movies on a drive encrypted by TrueCrypt. That means that the movie is decrypted on the fly, while I'm watching it!
Actually it made perfect sense, the parent said 128-bit AES was sufficent when protecting data from normal people and then proceeded to define normal as someone with access to only a little computing power. They were referring to breaking the encryption, not encrypting or decrypting.
If this story was meant to be about how one can build using budget hardware, why are they using a top of the line CPU? Would it not have been better to pair the GPUs with a cost appropriate one?
While neither region is able to take on the US militarily or culturally, then have been very successful about throwing up roardblocks to US business. I know folks in the import/export business... things aren't always very efficient about making it trough customs if it is a US firm.
Apparently you haven't heard of the multitude of protectionist measures the US undertakes.
I would have been using the most recent version of Adblock at the time. This isn't much of an issue now, a recent release of Firefox which noted a fix of memory usuage eliminated it.
My intention was ti simply point out that it had been a problem.
Until a recent release, FireFox could use a ton of memory if you were visiting large pages (ie, phpMyAdmin). Devs have said previously that Firefox only cahced the most recent 8 pages, however in my experience allocated memory continued indefinately and I often saw it using 500mb+
I doubt it was extensions, I only run GMail Notifier and AdBlock.
While I agree that people who believe they can sense cell phones and towers are nutjobs, I am somewhat concerned about things that may be happening that we can't see.
If you're dropping $100 every (other) weekend you can easily afford a reasonable equipment. Heck, you could then have people over, watch a game, etc. It all boils down to what you find entertaining, personally I don't see the appeal in playing pool and getting sloshed.
Where your post falls down is that the map file may not need to be altered to show adverts. Its been a long time but iirc server's could supply 'entity files' for Quake maps (ie, drop in an textured ad obj).

I believe you missed the point, because US Elections are run locally the federal government cannot simply force a change.
Quite a few accidents are caused by cellphone use however :/
They aren't trying to pay employees and maintain stock prices ....
Presumably the same mechanism which heals minor damage is able to heal major damage over a long time.

Everyone knows Symantec products are practically worthless.
Perhaps you haven't heard of how the US protects its Sugar and Beef, or how it uses zeroing to illegally tarrif imports.

Its a joke, before PS2 came out Sony was claiming the processors had crazy power and would be displacing super computers, etc.

Maybe they meant Sony is loose with its money which will causes them to lose money ;)
Dear Talez,
Please learn the difference between speaking and typing.

Christian guilds, why should other communities be blocked.
I'd guess large portion of iPod owners don't have the savvy required to find and download songs.

Even 1-2 drinks impairs judgement and reflexes.
Mods were being funny
Both packaging and shipping volume of small bags are proportionally smaller than large ones.
