Because you have to spend that kind of money building a single plant that you're hoping to make a profit on over a half century. It wouldn't be cost effective to build plants otherwise. Nuclear power is mostly pay up front with relatively low expense operations wise later on.
No, we can't. Base power generation is hard to do, wind and solar are great, but they tend to be spikey and somewhat unreliable at any given moment. Over the balance of time they're great and when time shifting the demand around that can be somewhat mitigated.
Right now there aren't really a lot of options for renewable energy that produce that sort of stability and the ones we do have cause there own problems. Hydro electric being the most common. The technology for the other ones isn't there in any sort of cost effective way, certainly not in a way that can compete with nuclear in terms of reliablity and understanding of the pitfalls.
Somebody else already posted about that, and it's not a Firefox exploit, it's an IRC server exploit. The only thing that Firefox is doing that's possibly wrong is allowing one to post to a weird port. The server failing to properly interpret the packets coming to it is really not something that the Firefox devs can reasonably be expected to fix.
Well, there's a couple things going on there. Other vendors actually patch flaws rather than just adding them to the errata because they didn't feel like fixing them. Sure they don't fix all of them, but things which aren't fixed are far less likely to come back and bite the user or require changes to the code base which aren't reasonable on the current revision. But they do get fixed or some how addressed in future versions.
The other thing is that other vendors actually acknowledge when there's a vulnerability which they can't patch post haste which makes it seem like they've got more bugs since they don't have a secret list of unpatched vulnerabilities. Nor do many of them have the option of dong so. Sunshine is the best disinfectant after all.
It's Electro Magnetic Radiation. Generally people don't refer to parts too far beyond the visible spectrum as light as people aren't able to see them or use them directly or perceive them as light.
It depends what you're wanting it for. This has tremendous potential in areas like NY City and Tokyo where there's enough population density that traditional wireless is hard to do. Even here in a relatively sparsely populated part of Seattle, there's something like 8 access points in use at most times. The added security would be a bonus, just pull down black out curtains when you want to block it completely rather than mostly.
But you still get the mobility to move around the room. I suppose in the future you could even get a mesh set up as well for going room to room.
Realistically if MS goes this route, some enterprising firm will figure out how to create an application that allows for a side by side install for those internal applications.
Personally, I'm forced to use an application of that nature at work, though thankfully not tied to IE6, and it's an absolute misery to work with most of the time. Companies really need to just recognize that regardless of what mr. Ellison might think thin clients are not the way of the future.
And why should they? I mean how exactly does IE8 build shareholder value or add value to the Windows platform?
Kidding aside, this was clearly an effort to kill off support for IE6 at an opportune time. Unless I'm mistaken weren't other versions also equally vulnerable to the exploit?
That's the point, an exponential payout would encompass all of Google's future profits within the year. Whereas the logarithmic increase would be a tiny incremental increase each time an exploit was turned in.
True, but it's still more than a little bit irresponsible. Google isn't exactly the most responsible company out there, how long has it been that they've been running silent updates over an unencrypted connection without asking for permission? Feel free to correct me if they've changed that policy, but it's only been in the last couple weeks that gmail defaulted to using SSL.
Depends how you do it, most board games don't require you to have both precision and wide view at the same time. But, until this sort of thing comes way under the $100 mark I can't imagine it catching on for that purpose. Sure it might be a nice added value, but definitely not a perfect board game platform.
They do when they're going to fund initiatives that don't produce wealth and come at the expense of ones that do. We got into our current mess largely by incompetent entitlement programs without making sure that we first had money for things like education and health care, while simultaneously making our workers compete against themselves for jobs. And to top that off giving the proceeds to the rich in the misguided belief that doing so is a cure all for any economic problem.
And yet we take away the license of people that drive in an irresponsible fashion. If you're not willing to take responsibility for your actions, or are unable to, then there needs to be some way of hammering home the damage that you're doing to the group. Just like those idiots that endanger everybody else by refusing to get vaccinated against serious illnesses.
In this case, sure it's not a life or death decision, but spam, phishing, malware, child porn, and other nastiness does ruin lives. Slowing the speed down to dial up, and possibly restricting the user from accessing anything other than tech support, would do wonders for cutting down on the massive waste of bandwidth. A couple years back malware was using 2/3 of the bandwidth, I shudder to think what it is now.

Perhaps that means they need to get a reasonable business model? I mean if that's they're business model then they really need to just accept that a lot of the units are going to cost them money, rather than play the anti-trust game and see how much they can damage their merchandise before being sued.
No, you can't. You can move it between OSes by wrapping system calls, no emulation is involved. Different OSes on the same architecture have access to more or less the same set of instructions, differences between specific chips not withstanding.
Emulation only comes into play when you need instructions that are not available at all on a given architecture or that for one reason or another differ.
Dual stack isn't the solution per se, but the equivalent did work well for the digital conversion last year. It meant that for a time both systems could be running as the testing was being done and that people could buy the new equipment and use it until the analog systems were finally shutdown for good.
In this case, I'd think that it should work in a similar fashion, as OSes continue forward, they'll being offering just IPv6, not IPv4 because once most of the web is IPv6 it would be stupid to keep updating code which nobody uses. A decent set of tools and defaulting to using it rather than something else and most of those fools will be onboard. Otherwise, who really cares what set up an organization uses on the inside of their fire wall? Doing a 1:1 translation between IPv6 and IPv4 class C addresses is pretty similar to just using IPv6 if done properly.
The real problem is that the folks at AT&T, Verizon, et al., are allowed to provide the cell service and own the infrastructure. In this part of the country there's more than enough towers to provide good service all over the place, however largely because the towers are owned by different networks there's no guarantee that the tower a block away is the one your phone is connecting to.
That and the lack of any meaningful competition between carriers. Around here all the majors seem to be more or less equally terrible. AT&T has been crap for as long as I've had service from them, certainly far longer than the iPhone's been out.
Typically once you've finished the two years or whatever it is specifically on that plan, you're then eligible for another subsidy. The only advantage you get for buying your own phone is that you're able to get service without the contract.
You make it sound like some sort of conspiracy. You'd still have the ability to go through and make corrections to it as you do now. Anybody that would be paying that much more on the new scheme was probably not doing a very good job of preparing their taxes previously. Suggesting that you stealing from me is OK, because ZOMG government taxation is childish at best.
Ultimately with the amount of money that the GoP has been willing to waste on stupid iniatives like the wars in Afghanistan and IRaq, not to mention abstinence only sex ed and tax breaks to the rich, conservatives have no right to complain about taxation rates being too low.
Because a lot of things that the US government considers taxable don't leave a convenient paper trail without you disclosing them. They don't have all the relevant information about deductions you're eligible for, nor do they have any information about taxables like gambling wins or bribes.
That's why we have to fill out the paper work. What I don't necessarily get is why they can't fill out the parts of the information that they do have access to. A considerable amount of the paper work gets submitted to them electronically, and in most cases people are needing to add rather than subtract or modify.
And that would explain why we have a constitutional amendment which provides for hunches. Wait, there is no such amendment you say, just some that prevent unreasonable search and seizure?
Presumably they licensed the music in order to include it in the shows. If for some reason that music is still covered by copyright, then it could very well still be keeping them from legally releasing the shows. I'm not sure how that could be since the shows themselves are now public domain as far as copyright goes. The same sort of thing held up the release of WKRP in Cincinnati until recently. I think even then they had to do some tinkering with the music to get it actually released.
