"Heat?"
"Heat is produced as a waste product of civilization."
"I fail to understand," said Speaker-To-Animals.
Louis, who as a flatlander understood perfectly, forebore to comment. (Earth was far more
crowded than Kzin.)
"An example. You would wish a light source at night, would you not, Speaker? Without a light
source you must sleep, whether or not you have better things to do."
"This is elementary."
"Assume that your light source is perfect, that is, it gives off radiation only in the spectra
visible to kzinti. Nonetheless, all light which does not escape through the window will be
absorbed by walls and furniture. It will become randomized heat.
"Another example. Earth produces too little natural fresh water for its eighteen billions. Salt
water must be distilled through fusion. This produces heat. But our world, so much more
crowded, would die in a day without the distilling plants. "A third example. Transportation involving changes in velocity always produces heat.
Spacecraft filled with grain from the agricultural worlds produce heat on reentry and distribute
it through our atmosphere. They produce more heat on takeoff."
"But cooling systems --"
"Most kinds of cooling systems only pump heat around, and produce more heat for power."
"U-u-urr. I begin to understand. The more puppeteers, the more heat is produced."
"Do you understand, then, that the heat of our civilization was making our world
uninhabitable?"
-- From Larry Niven, ringworld, 1970
well, it's about ulterior motives. A lot of people suspect that the 'government' wants all available information about you, regardless of privacy laws. This is just one of many steps to accomplish that.
Oh and by ANY definition, you've been living in a police state for a long long time (since the 'war on drugs' started, atleast)
..and before any of you decide to moderate me down as a "Troll": Yes, I strongly dislike the Chinese government, and would sooner trust the word of some strung-out meth-head with the DT's than anything they would say -- and furthermore I think you're a fool if you think otherwise.
now, if you viewed ALL governments like that maybe the world wouldb't be such a stinking pile of recession right now...
uh i think you need to know more about how buffer exploits work before trying to debate using it as an example...
point beeing, it's usually the hacker NOT the customer who fills in the extra long name to make the buffer overflow...
Anyways the tfa is kinda realistic, ok not for most software. But i would actually prefer if they did run such software on nuclear power plants and other critical infrastructure
what keys? Since when did dns become 'keys' to the internet? Only reason the u.s has the root servers is cause they do the job, as soon as that ends, the so called 'control' ends.
atleast that's what the system wants everyone to think.... when there are this many people hitting the streets there are bound to be a few idiots that can't behave themselves. Government who are the targets of these demonstrations like to fokus on these idiots because it makes them look less bad... Anyways, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya who's next? Syria or UK?
Well, of course they should get the patent. However the patent should ONLY be valid for their implementation of that system. Patents should not cover concepts, only implementations.
pff most exploits these days are the same type of exploits used10-15 years ago, its all just stack overflows and sql injections, no law/budget/military intervention/bombing can fix incompetence, so yeah, we're in deep shit =)
Yes, if they also can arrest the RIGHT person, that would probably be kinda nice
oh and how many 'supreme leaders' of lulsec/anonymous have been arrested already?:P
the cops are just having a hissy fit cause they have no clue as how to find the guys really behind this, probably behind a dozen proxies + hacked wifi, not something you can trace...

hmm seems like they only want the power, not the responsibility...

Yea, shame on them for trying to make profit on top of the actual cost. They should sell it at cost! After all the internet is free right?
well, i don't think you've considered that free markets might actually work ALOT better if infrastructure was non-profit ;P
uh i think you need to know more about how buffer exploits work before trying to debate using it as an example... point beeing, it's usually the hacker NOT the customer who fills in the extra long name to make the buffer overflow...

who cares, everyone knows that U.S missiles only hit terrorists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan
what keys? Since when did dns become 'keys' to the internet? Only reason the u.s has the root servers is cause they do the job, as soon as that ends, the so called 'control' ends.
why not use time/frame min, max and avg values alongside fps?
how did you get to that conclusion? Vaccination = immunity = why give a fuck what others do? If it doesn't give immunity why bother with the shot? =)
People, Telecomms Are Most Useless at Seurity This Doesn't even work in IE . bonus points to the ones that get it ;P
haha and still, the dopers manage a better economy than the us ;P
anyone got pypi to work? Else it would be _just_ python and none of the goodies :P (and mostly useless for real purposes)

you know, in a real country you could probably go to the police and report them for extortion and mafia practices...

Keep the old xp's lying around and install Ubuntu dualboot.
pff most exploits these days are the same type of exploits used10-15 years ago, its all just stack overflows and sql injections, no law/budget/military intervention/bombing can fix incompetence, so yeah, we're in deep shit =)
so if you guys are so smart and intelligent, how do you define smart and intelligent? =)
Yes, if they also can arrest the RIGHT person, that would probably be kinda nice oh and how many 'supreme leaders' of lulsec/anonymous have been arrested already? :P
