At the time, however, the equipment that allowed you to create and/or view the motion pictures was covered by Edison's patents, and so it gave him significant leverage in imposing morality codes on what people produced using that equipment. Read up on Edison sometime - he was a complete asshole not satisfied with making shitloads of money when he could also gain total control over whatever he touched.
If you feel Edison is too old, you may just read up on Steve Jobs.
Actually, people do there all the time. There are lots of tables and graphs of sun's noise temperature, tellin the engineers how much noise you should expect coming from the sun in every frequency, season, place on Earth (or outside it - really, sattelites often get this noise), azimuth, zenith, or whatever.
The fine print: nobody wants an antenna to to look straight to the Sun. The noise from it becomes a real problem, specially in higher frequencies.
E.g, satellite TV, at least here in Brazil, stops working for a up to an hour a day for some weeks because of it. This happens twice a year, and its cause is the Sun getting behind the satellite (or the other way round, as Copernico told us).
Not a valid comparison. You can write whatever book you want and try to sell it through any publisher. There are hundreds of them, surely you can find one that fits your work style. Damn, if you believe your book will sell a lot despite of the opinion of every publisher, you can even pay for print (it's actually cheap) and try to sell yourself! This is not a novelty, or even a rare thing.
However, if you develop for iOS, it takes less than a Steve Jobs' bad day and you will never be able to sell your software. There is no option, no alternative publishers, not even a self-publishing option. No, Cydia is not in scope here, it's hackery and demands users to violate the ToS.
Why do you have 3 keys for one home? Isn't it possible to keep the other keys in a relatively safe place inside your girlfriend's home and pick them up as needed?
If you really need immediate access to all these doors, why don't you change the locks so they all have the same key? Even better, you could even extent this to your home, and have a one key to rule them all.
Also try to reduce the number of keys. For example, try using combination locks. It is easy to do the shift in the case of padlocks, and also cheap, depending on your security needs.
Finally, I bet you do not use the car, the bike and the motorcicle at the same time. Take care of keeping you bike locked even at home (so you won't forget the keys), and this is only one key more to your keyring.
In the ideal situation, this would mean: 1 key for your home and your girlfriend's, 1 key for the current vehicle, and some codes to remember. Even if you can't reach the ideal case, the situation sounds much more manageable now.
Really, it makes little for Opera Mini to have an ad block. Flash is kept outside. The amount of traffic the image ads would sum to the download of an Opera Mini compressed web page is negligible.
The only problem is if you do not want to see any ads at all, regardless of traffic. Then, you may disable all images and just download selected ones. At least, you can do this with some versions of Opera Mobile, not sure for Opera Mini. A worse option, then, would be enable all images on the page and reload.
Mileage always vary. You may have speedier machine, a new one, or your client may be trying to get the last drop of juice from his 8-years-old Windows XP box. It may need to remove virus more often or will be better with a more reliable real-time detection.
I suggest you to go to AV-Comparatives. They make nice (sometimes clever) tests and publish really extensive reports about them. Their tests are not limited to effectiveness (like the ability to detect viruses), but also to other aspects, as performance(meaning how AV affects system performance) or even "corporate reviews".
Surprisingly to me, MS Security Essentials is doing quite well, according to their tests. Maybe an option for clueless users, as it's easy to use and nice to the system.
Yes, that is right. This is due to Brazilian Constitution, which says that all diplomacy must be reciprocal. E.g., for every country which demands a visa from Brazilian people, Brazil demands a visa for their people to get in Brazil. If the government, the Federal Police or the airport authority decides to do any different, they will get sued.
I have another idea: if you are a coder for a free software (as defined by FSF) hosted in sourcefourge, and the principal maintainer don't move it, copy it yourself and ask other developers to come. If you care, off course.
It'll be a fork and a loss of strength, but I guess most contributors will still go with you to the other site.
Brain of Patient H.M. Being Sliced, Streamed Live
At first, I understood that his brain was sliced and streamed (just like pasta) while he was still alive. It only took a second, but was an indeed creepy thought.
Hackers didn't broke into the ONS (national power grid operator) system. They have broken into its web site, and this has happened days after the blackout. And the website, naturally, has nothing to do with the operational servers.
There are no evidences whatsoever that last Thurday's blackout was caused by an online attack.

Doesn't Harry Potter pictures use this technique?
Doesn't TrueCrypt's plausible deniability get the same effect without depending on a loose file system hack?
They could allege it was an automated task, and that they had no control over it, until they decided to manipulate it.
Now Google must be held responsible for the tool, as they clearly show they have control on its results.
You are looking for a hackerspace: hackerspaces.org
"You was part of an international group of oceanographers..."
My first reaction was to twitch, then I realized what was going on.
Headline should be: "Telemarketer failed the Turing test."
But I guess this is not as much breaking news as it is a confirmation, .

Let me tell you something: only in the US the metric system is for geeks.
You mean, how that doesn't work. For it to work, it takes engineering.

Pay attention: they said that the download rate increased 3x compared to other main releases.
Just the opposite: every children should carry a pedometer. Then, when an individual with a high pedo degree approaches, it beeps on alert.

Computers are for lazy developers. I project ASICs for my webapps and I even built my own modem to improve perfomance.
Because they are not asking for funds. Simple as that. Actually, they didn't even cite lack of funds as a to not consider other solutions.
Sticking to your logic, I could say:
I don't see a single person who is complaining offering to have sex with the owners. It's not easy when your ass in the line, is it?
