Once. Just once, I'd love to see a real ghost, or a UFO that didn't turn out to be an aircraft, weather balloon, or swamp gas.:)
Just look at me over here. *flash*
Okay, you know how you're on a airplane and the flight attendant asks you to turn your cell phone off? And you're like, "I ain't turning my cell phone off. That ain't have nothing to do with no damn airplane." Well, this is what we get. That's what happens. It gets up there, bounces around on the satellite, then blam! Just turn your damn cell phone off. Now you're gonna drive off a cliff tonight 'cause your GPS don't work.
I don't count the average American person today being able to use a manual transmission for much the same reason.
Meh, I learned it a few years ago (note - am a "damn kid" still). Bit disappointed that "sunroof" on a new car generally means "automatic transmission". I really wish $MFG would listen when I say I want standard transmission AND the sunroof...
Yeah, that's what it sounds like, the chips "heal" in the same way that networks "heal" -- route around the slow/bad/dead parts -- rather than biological healing of replacing the dead/missing cells. I'm taking this to be the first steps towards artificial healing -- the chips (or networks for that matter) can close off the parts that are "bleeding" due to damage.
So, for now the chips are able to put up a rudimentary scab. Eventually, they may be able to take "local" resources (silicon, carbon, whatever) and start rebuilding the patterns that were on them. I just hope the re-structuring there ends up with a "#5 is alive!" machine, rather than a T-1000.
Evolution's had a damn long time to get the "rebuilding cells" part down -- we're just at the "stop the bleeding" phase with the chips.
Once they can rebuild their structure, we're in for trouble...
R64 (moons*) are from Eve Online (Rarity [4*], 8, 16, 32, 64) -- each rarity level being progressively more difficult to find as the number increases... I don't know the progression, as I don't think it's been published (or at least, I couldn't find it with a few quick google searches), though estimates hold Tech moons around 400.
Assuming linear progression of each step halving the number of moons, and Tech being a representative example of R32 Moon density, that gives a count of about 200 of each type of R64 moon, spread across ~3500 systems, with varying numbers of moons (from 0 to ~100... I think 102 or 104 is the highest). So, at an average of 50 moons/system, you have a 0.1% chance any one moon in a system would be R64.
*well, actually, it's the material's rarity, but you can R4 and R64 materials on the same moon... and it'd still be considered a R64 moon.
**R4 moons are everywhere, and generally not counted when talking about moon materials.
yeah, but then again, we'd have to be _incredibly_ lucky to find an unclaimed r64 in our home system... and then we'd immediately find out how incredibly _unlucky_ we are to find we're living in null.
On the other hand, there are at least a few thousand of us who know how to handle the politics (provided that they're not all too busy shooting each other, that is).
but that's more because History doesn't have enough programming slots for cramming shitty reruns of room-temperature IQ programming on one channel

Granted, Monday night is the "Modern Marvels Marathon" night on H2, so it might not be a fair comparison -- sure, it glosses over _a lot_ of things (unfortunate), but it's not just the drivel of "[item] could be worth a lot of money." or "Why the hell is this guy showing us all the stuff HE WON'T SELL!?". Tuesday is devoted to UFO Hunters/Ancient Aliens/etc.
Same goes for "Science" and "Discovery" and "The Learning Channel"... It's unfortunate how so few of their shows now care about "Science", "Discovery", or "Learning" (ignoring the fact that TLC stopped being "The Learning Channel" ~15 years ago) -- hell, with the exception of "Blue Planet" (et. al.), and the Neil Armstrong specials I'm hard pressed to say _any_ of their programming follows in the title of the channel. Only one that still seems to follow their station name in programming choices is "Animal Planet" (and even there, it's probably just as much "reality" crap as the other stations).
So, use something else to get around the ISP blocking 53 -- Tor, nonstandard port, etc. If it _really_ comes down to it, there's always/etc/hosts.
Admittedly, this isn't necessarily something that grandma would be able to do -- but it's not like she's exactly doing much more than looking up a recipe or checking email (even then, phone is usually better)
1) certificates are only used by SSL connections. Most web pages are still plaintext HTTP, not HTTPS.
While definitely true, that only speaks for ~today~ (or at least Monday). If you're running sites that may run afoul of this, you're probably gonna set up HTTPS... or cut off the US.
3) they might not do MITM attacks on http requests, but instead DNS requests. So you look up *anything*, and it gives you the address of their server that gives these notices. That will break *everything* until you click on it, not just http requests. (Thought it would work if you didn't rely on DNS requests going out for whatever reason.)
And yet another reason to not use the ISP-provided DNS servers...
Difference there is that the fake maple syrup is labelled as such ("maple flavored syrup"), usually in small letters in some otherwise unobtrusive spot on the front label, and also on the back label with the qualifier "contains x% maple syrup". We had both in my parents' house (parents liked it, kids got the cheap shit... probably more because "little kids" + "pancakes/waffles/french toast" = "lots of wasted syrup on the plate" than anything)
Way I figure it with GOG, I'm paying them about $5.00 (or, rather, $4.99) for their offered services:
- Packaged Installer
- PDF copies of any relevant documents for the game (user guide, quick reference card, etc)
- "Key Generators" to replace any card-based references -- e.g. the "star chart" wheel from "Starflight"
- Bandwidth
- Taking the time to fight with DOSBOX, so I don't have to for *every* game
Once I have the game on my HDD, GOG doesn't care what I do with it (barring re-distribution... I'm OK with that). Full details
Weeellll...The problem I have is while Abe Lincoln Vamp Hunter made Lincoln out to be cool, you could destroy a person's previous rep REAL quick by just filling the channel with Schlock.
What is really puzzling to me is why they went with Lincoln? I thought Teddy Roosevelt was the Chuck Norris of U.S. Presidents.
Pretty much... but he makes Chuck Norris look like... well, not Chuck Norris. He _GOT SHOT_ before giving a speech, spoke for ~90 minutes and only then went to get medical attention (or the 1912 equivalent).
They get free health care up north and other things we don't.
No, we don't. We pay for it in taxes, and the next imbecile that says we get "free health care" will get smacked with Lake Erie....before it was cleaned up.
smack them with the Cuyahoga River (before getting cleaned up)... you could even set it on fire for proper effect if necessary.

Remember the love, people. When new items of hardware are released, make sure the question is asked here on /., "Sure, but can it run Windows??"
No, and nothing of value was (will be?) lost.

Greedy as they are, they're mostly harmless.

Sure, you can get bread and cheese there at a super low price, but on the other hand you're likely to end up eating cheeze whiz and wonder bread.
Not anymore -- Wonder Bread was made (in the States anyway) by Hostess -- they closed down for good last year.
