Well, if you drop it onto freezing cold water, you'll stun it into shock, and then if you heat the water fast enough, you can boil it indeed. But it has nothing to do with complacency on the part of the frog.
Many people don't realize this, but "ozone" depletion is what is normally considered at fault for increased UV. CO2 is normally considered at fault for increased temperature. This article is about warming, not UV.
I live in Canada, at least until recently one of the biggest exporters on nuclear reactors, and modern, safe reactors at that. I think in most other places (except France) research has stagnated, and focused on light water reactors, whereas here we have heavy water moderator reactors where the reaction is much easier to stop than the light water counterparts.
I guess exaggerating about it being worse is probably a good thing, means that governments will be under pressure to do something. The bigger issue should be scrapping the carbon credits crap. Currently a loophole exists that means that a company can do nothing about stopping emmissions, if it grows some trees. The real problem with this is that they can cut down trees and plant new ones to comply.
I don't know how good exaggeration is -- especially with the plans of some like Ocean Fisheries that wants to "seed" the oceans with iron oxide to increase algae, reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, and increase fish stocks -- such a plan is said to be capable of lowering global temperatures up to 4 degress C. If such a plan is approved on exaggerated global warming claims, I'm moving out of Canada fast (51 degrees N is where I am) because in 50 years there will be nothing but glaciers here.
There has been talk of "urban heat islands" before, about how temperatures at many monitoring stations are significantly higher now than in the past due to urban expansion, but you seldom see any consideration of this except to sweep it under the rug. Of course, "the sky is falling" gets more grant funding.

i[Pipex is owned by UUNET, and according to statistics compiled by spam fighting and tracking sites SpamCop and SpamHaus, more spam gets spewed through UUNET than from all the other Internet service providers combined]i
Gee, could this be because of the size of UUNet and it's placement as a backbone provider?
It's like saying, "According to a recent survey, AOL has more novice users than all other ISP's combined".
So, I wonder, are WE transmitting a repeating signal at 1450 Mhz or near it? If WE are not transmitting a distinguishable repeating signal near 1450 Mhz, why would we expect anyone else to?
I think this is a matter of the bios and chipset. For example: my k6-2 400 on a ASUS P5A shuts down at 65 C -- the board shuts down and the cpu is constantly sent the idle instruction (or powered down, I can't recall).
How about taking one of those huge transports that are currently under development, and putting two of these side by side. Then fly 10 in formation and use them to take out aircraft...

Nope. I dont agree. If I want to run an insecure, crappy box, thats my right. Just like if I have a house, and want to leave the door swinging in the wind wide open, its my peroggative.
But if you leave your door swinging wide open, and a bunch of organized crime guys move in under your nose, and use it as a crack cocaine distribution center, it's now YOUR problem.
The fact that these drives/media won't be subject to DVD consortium technology licensing fees would be the biggest reason I'd see for their development.
Every encryption scheme gets broken eventually -- DES was considered secure 10 years ago, and now it can be broken in a day with a $100,000 scalable custom computer (EFF built one)...now if that is possible for a small non-profit to do, what can the large intelligence services do, which have at least thousands of times the cash to work with.
Hey, so if someone wants to take a domain name from you, all they have to do is spam for your site and then you're hitler? How do you know that someone else didn't spam on his behalf to discredit him.
That SELINUX bug is already fixed... go to http://www.nsa.gov/selinux, go to download page, and there's new stuff...

From: pal@epoch.ncsc.mil (Pete Loscocco)
To: selinux@tycho.ncsc.mil
Subject: Updated release
Sender: owner-selinux@tycho.nsa.gov
An updated release of Security-enhanced Linux that corrects some of the minor problems in the original release has been posted on the NSA web site (www.nsa.gov/selinux).
Changes include:
- moving the numbers of the new system calls to avoid conflicts
- fixing the buffer overflow problem discovered in the find_default_type function in libsecure
- removed extra ';' in policy grammar
- minor adjustments in kernel/flask/Makefile
What about the privacy issues in distributed data storage? These always seem to be glossed over.
The usual argument is, "we got strong encryption, so everything's okay". However, this ignores, that when data is being stored in far flung places, the potential for interception by both domestic and international friendly and hostile entities is possible, some of which have the ability to break strong encryption. Think of the industrial espionage possibilities, or even just invasion of personal privacy.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was local engineering students pulling this off---if so, it would be in the tradition of the finest hackers as started by MIT.
Why do these news stories always begin with the project cost (NASA's 3.2 billion dollar spacecraft CASSINI..)? It distracts from any benefits of the project and appears to be designed to get anyone who pays taxes up in arms immediately.
You don't see this in other reporting: "NASA's Space Shuttle Discover, in which $45 billion has been spent to date, was launched for an uneventful mission from Cape Canaveral).
So why does the mainstream media seem to think that projects doing real scientific work (Cassini, Galileo, the mars missions, SOHO, TRACE, etc.) are a waste, while the space shuttle, with a maximum working orbit of 320 km is a necessity? IIRC, the cost of Cassini is similar to a couple space shuttle launches.
I don't mean this comment as flamebait, but, $3.2 billion is a small cost to pay for what we will learn from Cassini. (keep in mind that was spent over something like 20 years, including the long storage time when all launches were scrapped after the Challenger accident). Several spacecraft like Cassini would be a small price to pay, and keep in mind, if, say, ten had been made (Cassini was originally the Mariner Mark III), the cost would have been a lot less then $3.2 billion each.
1. Prime95. Prime95 right now is optimized for current processors. The author received a Pentium 4 system a couple weeks ago, and is rewriting his code right now. When the reoptimization is completed, expect a factor of two improvement.
I'd contend that it's a fair comparison with what AMD had to put up with -- FPU benchmarks intended for two FPU pipeline chips on a three FPU pipeline system (Athlon). Were benchmarks rewritten right away? No.

A significant problem with sulfur dioxide emissions is the respiratory effect on people, especially children with asthma.
