replace it at will with "who allegedly used the toxbot trojan to create a botnet of over 11001000000000000 computers". Although I think most normal people will choke on such numbers (11001 trillion computers!?) , calling them impossible:)
- moving - in a different style from the web page it's on - larger than their allocated space - on a large bit of space - enlarging the website, thereby lenghtening my time on it in terms of finding stuff to read - completely irrelevant - privacy invading - confusing - offensive
So that leaves mainly netstat buttons, since each possible way the advertiser can use to make stuff interesting directly conflicts with this.
In magazines, put something (arm, junk, drink) on the ad. If it's too annoying, skip the article or rip out the ad. If a magazine is mainly ads, it's going to be both cheaper and thicker, so most pages are pure ads. If a page only contains ads, I skip it entirely, don't mind that. They don't distract from text (since there isn't any).
One type of ads is still annoying, those that are on a separate page between the previous and the next just to annoy you.
TFA talks about C being just as secure with protection bits, claiming that use of stack-protection stuff is going to increase programmer and company awareness and willingness to fix bugs. They can fix the bugs, it's going to make it easier, but the inverse is what will happen. Instead of better software coming out, less time is spent on fixing that kind of bugs "since the protector will catch it anyway". Why bother fixing something that doesn't crash the program?
On the other hand, if you convert all these soft errors to hard errors (instead of a program doing something softly off-balance to a rigorous crash) they'll be fixed faster. Yet still, just teach the programmers to program.
Oh, and please do give all books about programming you have left to EA. They appear to be hiring kids between 12 and 16 since they're cheaper, judging by the quality of their software. I can't even run NFS3 in opengl mode since my video card isn't supported... no, the pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-predecessor was.
If you assume that the system loads at a specific frequency (say, 1800 or 1900 MHz), using some smd or something version of diodes for lower power loss (you can't convince me that labs work with the same amount of resistance as the DIYer uses), you can make it as a part-loader. Otherwise, you might reserve a given frequency only for home charging, which would just include a charger-device that emits those waves through your skin toward the device (with some form of shield) without frying you outright, but just enough to charge the device.
That still removes the need for surgery, which greatly decreases the chance of death by surgical errors. Granted, it will require a device in your home.
The point behind it is that you can use the background radio signals for some form of charging. Whether it's truly background, generated "background" or something else, you still don't cut up a human being anymore.
What about preserving power in a capacitor and using a coil to recharge it from background radiation? By now people are constantly in a sort of electromagnetic field, so if you switch between two of them you should be able to generate a current, with a few proper diodes etc. you could charge a capacitor with that... given people that are still alive and enough mobile phone use, it would work?
You might just get into a fight with the people next to you, since you're in a way using their mobile phone battery to reload your pacemaker. On the other hand, calling in public and in hospitals would become accepted and even encouraged.
Is it just me or does the article explain '95 technology?
It tells about loading blocks of instructions at a time (say, a cache line), then executing them whenever the data is available (which is called out-of-order execution).
In other words, they're going to overclock a pentium-I to 10ghz and add an excess in pipelines to make it reach a teraflop. I could've done that (given the p1 design).
There are professionals at the police that don't know a bit from a byte and thus don't ever research those things. They're paid for reading through the outcome of automated searches, to solve many cases. They pay money to others to make the searchability happen.
The others realise that adding firefox to the list would double the complexity (possibly slightly more) and add a 4% increase in computers they can research. Offset by the fact that most criminals don't know that there is a thing as firefox, why would they care?
Hence this "article" which doesn't tell you anything but the bleeding obvious.

pick one. Unfortunately the quality of old games doesn't transfer. I haven't seen affordable games anymore... they either have good graphics, good gameplay or they're affordable (and both play crap and look crap). At this rate, DosEMU forever!
Would be identical here in the Netherlands... but, point is, what is the joke about people being in europe for over 6 months constituting a bigger risk for your health than people living in their own waste products having sex with numerous people?
Just an example, but I do think that those interviews based on a few banned groups and mostly your own judgement are fatally flawed.

Are you sure they develop on IE? There's nobody watching that directly....
Opel (Vauxhall) has a nice car ad here in the netherlands. They advertise with 3 x epsilon, or in maths terms, three times almost nothing.

I block ads that are:
- moving
- in a different style from the web page it's on
- larger than their allocated space
- on a large bit of space
- enlarging the website, thereby lenghtening my time on it in terms of finding stuff to read
- completely irrelevant

I assume they mean UK proxy users, since you can't really check whether the person is or isn't in the UK.

Baz-ons might be confused with boz-ons. Oh, and nobel prizes are regularly awarded post-humously. I doubt you can wait that long.
Are europe-based replies then worth 25% more than USA-based replies?

I did a public domain one in 3 days. Does that make me 5333 times as productive as any of you?
:). Am willing to move virtually (IE, open a different X forwarding session).

Ah, one of those again... luckily I've just set up my own dual RAID-5 mailserver for just my own mail, on 2.4TB disk.

The article doesn't say that.

What'd happen if only creationists survive the radiation?
pretty graphics
good gameplay
small budget

When OSX comes out for Intel-based PC's, Microsoft will make it impossible to install. That's what TC is for, isn't it?
I can now give a normal tar-bz2-tarball to a Windows-user and they'll be able to open it!
