    That's a very small asteroid they're modeling, wake me up when they can do something about the mile-wide ones

    a few megatons TNT of impact energy won't do much on most of the earth's surface, likely hit nothing important

    but with the U.S. funding and supporting Israel those 7.2 million get carte blanche to do things for which the 305 million in the U.S.A. get blamed

    computers can talk, even with people pointing at the sentence or word they want to hear.

    no need for global network. no need to worry about seasons or cloud cover. The biggest consumers on the globe of electricity have access to areas with near 24/7 sunlight year round. Europe is already planning north african solar collection, the U.S. has desert, etc.

  9. Re:perhaps if they paid ... on Emergency Workaround For Oracle 0-Day · · Score: 5, Informative

    this is an article about an exploit in the BEA Weblogic J2EE Server, which until very recently had nothing to do with Oracle (the company) at all nor Oracle (the DBMS)

    I can't believe all the tards here going off about Oracle's DBMS code base.

    could turn around the way of looking at that, a person could have the "status" of being "expert" at something somewhat or very hard to learn. Or they could have an easy to use tool with much thought and polish given to the UI.

    back in 70's and early 80's I had only worked on computers via text terminal. Somewhere around 1985 or 1986 I was able to walk up to some new Macs at the national lab where I worked, and never having touched a mouse or seen a GUI before was able to make the Mac do things, it was intuitively obvious for me. 23 years later my five and eight year old are able to do things on their iMac after the twenty minute initial training I gave them.

    the major GNU/Linux distros (and BSD too) are getting there, but some parts still too esoteric for Aunt Minnie or Grandma.

    actually, the frequency most talked about is 2.45 GHz as there is large existing infrastructure to deal with it.

    transparent to the atmosphere is one thing, but how about bags of water with protein gel...otherwise known as animals and people?

  21. Re:Personally experienced _much_ worse on HP Shatters Excessive Packaging World Record · · Score: 1

    I take it you've never had the displeasure of taking "portable" code that works on every other Unix/BSD in the cosmos and tried to get it going on HP/UX on Itanic. Shelling out for big buck compiler may be your only hope. What I can't believe is that people pay for HP/UX, an obsolete pile of 20th century crap with all manner of 3rd party and acquired wares and open source duct taped on to give the appearance of a modern Unix. bleah!

    the locations don't change the fundamental reasons for Bin Laden's hatred of the U.S: actions by U.S. in Lebanon, support of Israel, support of what he considers amoral leaders in the middle east.
