I have a question about the legal proceedings involving the death penalty: Massachusetts has no death penalty. Is there a federal crime here that could be punished in this way?
(Not saying the guy did it, or if he deserves it, just asking about the legal implications about what happened)
. ..religion and science can quite happily coexist, so long as both sides admit there are things we are yet to understand. I'm Catholic, and I want to see this guy out of prison.
I still use WEP on my home wifi network. It's set up and it works.
MAC address whitelist ftw. . ..just gotta be sure there's end-to-end encryption whenever I log into anything.//Yeah, yeah, upgrading the security is on the list. . . .

If your bullsh*t detector didn't beep like crazy when you read this line, there's no hope for you.
It's a different fuel source. Human beings have always been dependent on fuel sources. We use them for heating/cooking, transportation, and industry. "Dependence" isn't the issue here. The issue here is the overexploitation of a finite energy resource, and the environmental impact of this.
Pluto has an irregular orbit around the sun, and is actually locked in binary orbit with its "moon", Charon. Additionally, if it were closer to the sun, it would grow a vapour trail. I need absolutely no reason to classify Pluto in the same category as Mercury, Venus, Mars, etc.
Did you not read the article? By comparing the number of songs bought from from ITMS with the number of iPods sold (and assuming that most iPods are nearly full of music), Jobs estimates that about 3% of music on the average iPod is DRM-protected. In other words 97% of music on the average iPod is *not* DRM-protected. Jobs' estimates are probably a bit off, but iPods are clearly selling well enough that he doesn't need to shackle you to future iPods with DRM.
After weighing up my feelings on the issue, I'm very disappointed in Google. For a search engine company, whose mission is to organise and disseminate information that's on the internet, deliberately distorting search results to better serve an oppresive communist regime is a major ethical failure.
When faced with a choice between providing good search results and getting more money, Google chose the money.
You would sacrifice the flexibility and usefulness of the STL to get a class of bugs that are old and well-known? Hardly seems like a fair trade-off to me.
It's not like Google has a monopoly on search engines. People use Google because it's the best. If you care about seeing non-Google ads at the top of your search results, use a different engine -- there are plenty of alternatives.
to advertise my website at http://www.offtopic4.com/ and I'm completely satisfied with the results. I pay 15c per click on the Google Content Network, which I think is fair, and I'm glad Google is taking steps to address the click fraud issue. Hats off to the dedicated engineers at GOOG.
It's a harmless advertising page. So what? Is the internet now in some kind of jeopardy because of this? Good on the government of Cameroon, I say. I'm glad they've found a profitable use for their.cm domain -- I'll be sure to type my URLs more carefully;)
to charge a battery, is intrinsicly inefficient, ESPECIALLY when you used energy to create the hydrogen from water in the first place.
The Fhybrid is a pipe dream.
PC Power Play (Aussie gaming mag) Issue #128 has an article about John Romero on pg 24.
Basically it says that Romero is a washed-up has-been with an ego the size of an elephant. Pretty funny.

Watch out for the Na'vi!
They can handle it.
C++ is my favourite programming language, and it works equally well on Windows and on Linux. I recommend it.
Depends on which way you swing.
I bought a copy of Vista Ultimate, and it works great. . . .just needed to install the AC'97 audio codec to stop it crashing lol

Agreed. Unmanned probes are where it's at. We can colonise the Solar System later.

Ahahaha, you've got a point there.
Ahaha, common law kicks ass. The judges quoted Shakespeare's Othello in their ruling of that case.
Some cartoon giving the finger? And this was interpreted as a potential terrorist threat? Jeebus, got paran0id?

If you want to listen to some wicked Japanese Trance music, check out Yoji Biomehanika He has a track called Ding-A-Ling. . .pure euphoric awesomeness.
