They're trying, but the fact that the worm can tell when it's being analyzed and then attacks whatever system is being used to do the analysis makes it kind of like a vet trying to collect a blood sample from an unrestrained, unsedated, rabid weasel... without gloves.
WRONG, leaving your computer unsecured is NOT like leaving your house unlocked. If someone enters your unsecured house it doesn't cause problems for anyone other than you and your insurance company. On the other hand, if someone turns your unsecured computer into a botnet zombie, that can cost other people money.
No, no, we want him to stick around. as long as that idiot is doing his baboon act on television on a regular basis everyone will point, laugh, and ignore what his friends are saying.
I wonder, if one were to send a one minute stream of uncompressed video data, would more photons be required for the transmission over the fiber, or in the final display to the user/viewer?
Given that, I would have to say that while the difference is still going to be several orders of magnitude, it won't be for the reason you stated. Rather, it will be because fiber is VERY focused and as such can get away with much lower levels of light, a display on the other hand, needs to spray photons in every direction. 1/r^2 light dissipation gets huge really quickly.
Actually, I had made the mistake of buying the extended warranty which they proceeded to declare void the first time I tried to make a claim against it. Besides, it doesn't matter whether or not I was trying to get service from the wrong people, that still doesn't excuse a manager telling a customer to "fuck off" I'm not paraphrasing here, those were the words the manager used.
Best^H^H^H^HWorst buy is the only customer service people I have ever dealt with where a manager told me to Fsck off when I asked them to honor the warranty. Note that this wasn't even the extended warranty, it was still the standard warranty!
There wouldn't have been as much of a problem, and she may not have won, if the coffee hadn't given her THIRD DEGREE BURNS!!!
Coffee that is hot enough to do that would be dangerous no matter where she put it. If she had taken a sip those burns would be on her face. Now, admittedly one's crotch is probably more painful but that doesn't make it ok.
There is a false assumption that many people make about the cost structure of developing a drug that you may have made. The assumption is that every research project pays off, but in reality, for every new drug that makes it through FDA testing ten don't, and for every drug that even makes it to testing hundreds of others are developed and discarded.
The number quoted in my previous post was including the costs for all the drugs that don't make it to market. When you buy an expensive drug you aren't just paying for the development of that drug, you're also paying for dozens of drugs that didn't work.
Even with the data from F@H, developing a new drug or treatment still costs the pharmaceutical company TENS of BILLIONS of dollars. Do you really think a company is going to invest that kind of money and then not charge enough for it to make a profit?
Yes, the new drugs/treatments are still going to be expensive, but this sort of project isn't just about the cost of these things, it's also about the time it takes to develop them.
What brands you as a bigger geek? Having a stack of "Dragon" or "Dungeon" magazines on your bookshelf, or having several folders of bookmarks in Firefox devoted to roleplaying (you have to sort them by which pages are strictly for news, which are for content, ordering books and miniatures, and finally blogs and forums)
This may yet still be years off, but this sort of thing could lead to the development of drugs that enhance the ability to learn in a temporary fashion. That is, you are able to remember everything you read in the few hours the drug is in effect, but once the drug wears off you keep the memories of what you learned while on it without having a permanent eidetic memory (believe me, that could drive you insane.)
Actually, when a site refuses to display in IE, that's a sign that someone is making a point. It is nearly impossible to accidentally make a site refuse to display in IE, this must be done intentionally. Note that it is still possible to accidentally make one that won't display well in IE, but it will still try to display.
I can't speak for the grandparent, but when I obtain information from wikipedia that is in any way volatile (check the edit history for warnings) I ensure that either A - it won't blow up in my face, or B - I have another source that confirms the information.
A great deal of the information available from any source is less than completely reliable, but at least with wikipedia you can see how much disagreement is out there about the validity of the article.
Much of the cost involved in maintaining a helicopter is concentrated in the maintenance of the complex and fragile tilt rotor mechanism, something that this new vehicle does not have. Instead it has flaps around the edge which will be much less expensive to maintain.
With this design I would expect the costs to be closer to those of a fixed wing aircraft than those of a traditional helicopter.
You say that you dug up a discarded monitor? In that case the justification is simple, the cost to the company for you to have that extra monitor was zero, therefore any extra productivity as a result of having it is a net gain.
If your fighter 8 has a vorpal sword OR a holy avenger, the DM has done something horribly wrong.
It's like giving middle management admin access. They suddenly have a lot more power over the network, but the moment something crops up that actually requires such firepower they're completely borked.

Speaking as a high grade geek, this sounds good to me, I would just keep half of the difference and get some money that way.
I was also talking about Thompson.
Well, sure, if you really want a mind boggling number of zeros on your metric.

He's a NERD! why wouldn't he?
Thank you.

No, because as soon as such a department is set up everyone in the supplemental index will appeal, even those who belong there.

I guess the moral of the story is... Pay attention to the minute details to avoid coming in second best.
