I wonder if the protesters in Egypt will understand this...my guess is probably not.
Easy to tell. The muslims who 'get it' won't be the ones jumping around and shouting like crazy-asses while setting fire to shit.
The muslims who "get it" will leave that violent savage religion and no longer e muslims. Unfortunately that alone is punishable by death under sharia (muzzie) law.
If I'm driving down a 2-lane highway and have a catastrophic failure in a tire that causes my car to spin out, cross the center line, hit your car killing you... is that really my fault? What if it was a piece of debris in the road that caused the tire to fail?
No you would get off with that. If at the same time a notebook on your passenger seat with an intimate letter to your wife flew out of the window and landed on my teenage daughter's lap then you'd end up doing time.
Given that nearly every member of his family also received the message, it is very unlikely that he had intended to solicit sex from all the recipients,
What on earth for? For point to point bridging and interconnects you can already use Fibre at multi-terabit interconnects. Do you have some need for a multi-point LAN to support this speed that couldn't be addressed by setting up seperatete switched VLANs
what's not stated is that this system is grid-tied and that means there are no batteries needed to hold the solar charge. The electricity generated by the solar array puts electricity on the grid for others to use at the time of generation and the charger pulls power from the grid as needed, when needed.
I didn't see anywhere where it was stated these charging stations where powered only by solar. That was a leap others seemed to make by not knowing how the system works.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. You wouldn't want to turn up at a charging station to be told it was "empty". It would be nice to understand their business model, perhaps they expect there to be few enough charges that solar will pay for enough to make it free for users, or maybe they are subsidizing it by car sales.
People at most income levels are directly "bothered" by the price of gas. Think of the CEO trying to justify $20k spent on a private jet flight to a board of directors, when only a few years ago, the same flight would have only cost $10k.
Not to mention the fact that our entire economy is very closely tied to the price of fuel, so even the folks who only own bicycles are touched by rising fuel costs.
I truly believe that once the NDP gets to head a minority government (*) for 4 years, both the Libs and the Cons will clean their act faster than you can say "general elections".
(*) No Canadian party (**), present or future, should ever be given a majority government.
(**) That should hold for other nations as well.
I'd have said the same thing in the UK - until I we got the Con-Lib coalition and I saw how fast the liberals would ditch their principles in order to be given a position of power.
electricity used by the Supercharger comes from a solar carport system
Maybe if you have one car to charge every couple of days - but with the total solar energy hitting the eath's surface being about in full sunshiew, and many cells producing 100-130 watts per square meter this cannot be the sole energy source for a 40 - 85 kwh charge
Capitalsme is dying and it is time for the workers to bury it!

Is there some form of "reset to factory defaults" option that is non-programmable - i.e. built into the firmware? I would imagine that it is a real nail-biting time for the developers if there is a possibility of bricking a mars rover!
Because that meets Bruce's objections. -3a may will be broken before SHA-2 is so threatened that it is unusable, because of all the compromises NIST want to include. -3b, because it refuses to bow to such compromises, should remain secure for much longer. You can afford to stick it in the freezer and let it sit there for a decade, because it should still be fresh BECAUSE no compromises were made.
There are some applications where this is very important, for example the electronic signing of documents for copyright purposes (i.e hash published to prove authorship), public time-stamping of documents etc. If someone can come back in 10 years time with an alternative document that produces the same hash you no longer have absolute proof!
As I understood, it has to be slow to be hard to break via dictionary attacks etc....
No - you use long, cryptographically random, salts to avoid dictionary attacks. Any hash or cryptographic function that is fast enough to use will be fast enough to attack with a dictionary unless you do this. Of course user education and password rules forbidding short alpha-only words are important too!
Robot snakes with lasers in your body. What could possibly go wrong! I know that one day we will look back at the times that unreliable human surgeons cut people, but I certainly wouldn't want to be an "early adopter" on this one.
This is going to sound mean, but that's not my intent. There's a social difference.
Where I live, just about all the people with those shorter commutes already take advantage of the much less expensive and much more environmentally friendly method of transport called the bicycle.
In the USA, we're very focused on deodorants, perfume, and so forth. At work, you're expected to smell nice, or not at all. Even more so on a date or out socializing, or in a line at a store.
When we leave the gym, or do any hard work, the first thing most of us do is shower. Then we generally avoid exertion, or it's back to the shower.
The problem with using a bike for many of us is that we arrive at our destination smelling... like we just rode a bike, Sweaty, dirt stuck to the sweat, smelling hot... and by the end of the day... smelling outright ripe.
How sensitive are we to this? I can tell if someone *walked* to my house. I can smell it when my kids have been running around outside. The idea of working next to someone who just finished a workout (and let's be fair, a bike commute can usually be fairly called a workout) fills me with the urge to go work by myself.
My time in Europe and the middle east has suggested to me that either the locals don't care, or are socialized to pretend they don't care. I don't see that change happening here. The opposite, in fact.
This is all an IMHO and again, I don't intend to be mean here. It's just an observation.
Good point, in some small offices it wouldn't work. Many large offices in Europe have a gym, and people who cycle in take a shower there before starting work.
Everyone I know with 2 cars have 2 drivers (such as my oldest boy in his S10 while I have my Ranger) so it isn't like the second car is only used occasionally and having a vehicle with such limited range just wouldn't be practical. I mean at first glance it would look like my oldest could trade his S10 for something like an electric, since 90% of his driving is the 10 miles round trip to the local college, but it is that 10%, like when he recently had to drive a friend to another state to attend her grandma's funeral, that would create a real hardship if he didn't have any way to go long distances.
A lot of people could do it, and would do it if electric vehicles were cheaper and had a longer range. I commute 10 miles each way, but it is on a mountain so the fuel usage (and I expect electric range) is twice that. My wife drives 8 miles a day, taking kids to school & supermarket. If we could have an electric car that could do either trip and was reasonably priced I'd go for it, on the occasional times one of us needed a longer trip the other would take the electric. It has been years since either of us has done a long trip without the other on a weekend, and even if it did happen the one "at home" would be able to go to local stores, parks, etc.
Of course - anyone who gets offended by blasphemy only gets offended if THEIR religion is on the receiving end. You don't think that these people want to protect some animist sects in the Brazilian jungle from missionaries, do you?
True, though there are a few people who want a law that outlaws deliberate insulting of any religions, based on the fact they can understand that others feel about their religion as they do about their own. Though I have some sympathy with this view (which is very different from what the Muslims want) I don't think its workable - to many people an expression of one faith is a direct and deliberate insult to another.

We need terabit Ethernet NOW, not in a decade.
What on earth for? For point to point bridging and interconnects you can already use Fibre at multi-terabit interconnects. Do you have some need for a multi-point LAN to support this speed that couldn't be addressed by setting up seperatete switched VLANs
If you live in a perfectly flat world with no terrain, yes. :)
Or drives a manual gearbox. The pitch remains the same for each speed in each gear, though the timbre changes as you use more or less gas.

Don't forget about pumping the omnipresent cameras into facial recognition software, and dumping it all into tracking databases.
I'd show the facial recognition cameras my arse, but it would probably show as a false positive on John Prescott.

However, SHA-2 could be broken tomorrow, and this time we won't have a decade's wait while a suitable replacement is designed.
And SHA-3 could be broken the day after. Or some mathematical breakthrough could undermine an assumption that both use.
As I understood, it has to be slow to be hard to break via dictionary attacks etc. ...
No - you use long, cryptographically random, salts to avoid dictionary attacks.

And Christianity is different how? Yet there are plenty of peaceful Christians around who denounce the violence.
You have answered your own question.
And what if it is? It seems to me that Islam does condone (hell no, recommend) the use of violence to spread Islam.
Then you don't know anything about Islam other than what you think you've learned from news sites and CNN.
No, I've studies the Qur'an and listened to the dictates and fatwas of Imams and it certainly is what Islam decrees
