Given that kites could be several hundred feet beyond the bounds of the boat this makes passing another ship with the same system a major event. It might even require more coordination than air traffic.
There is a sort of trickle up effect with software piracy. As a student I see rampant piracy every day which you might say is bad for companies like Adobe. But students can not afford to pay for even the educational version of the product. Sure they may be able to afford the Adobe suite, but they can't afford the Adobe suite along with 20 other suites of software that they need for their classes. When those students bring their skill set out into the workplace where companies have the resources to buy software, they say to their boss, "With software x I could produce stuff like this for your company." The boss says "That looks great, I'll talk to IT and have them order it." Microsoft has realized this for a very long time which is why it practically gives its software away to educational institutions. They give a free taste to impressionable people and then charge them once they are hooked. Form-Z was a popular modeler in the late 90's but it experienced a heavy loss in users and now it is rarely used. It is also nearly impossible to crack. Completely eliminating piracy on the personal use level is a bad idea. Individuals are more likely to turn to free alternatives. When they are in situations where they have resources to buy things they will still use what they are familiar with.
Could this be used as a method for keeping people from rejecting transplants? The cancer is different genetic material from the host dog, it probably also used different blood type in its previous host, but it seems that the dogs bodies don't reject it. I don't know anything about cell rejection so I could be completely wrong. Are there any doctors that could explain it?
If you're attacking existing markets, you're attacking existing market leaders. So, everything is billed as a "-killer" because it can't exactly be called a "new thing."
But chances are, it will not "kill" the existing product/service. It would at best become a competitor. So why all the sensationalism for things that are far from sensational?
Perhaps "Nokia the Next to Try an iTunes Competitor?" would be a better title.
Blizzard does something similar to that with Diablo II. They have realms where cheating of any kind is allowed. There are also official servers where cheating is not legal. People still cheat on official servers with bots and maphacks and they still farm items to sell for real money because people who play on those servers will buy it.
If there is a profit to be made, people will take advantage of it.
I bet a lot of that is for the oil (and other forms of fossil fuels) it takes to mine, transport, process etc the raw materials needed to build the car. A $10,000 petrol-powered car would probably use less oil over its lifetime than this thing.
So your $10,000 petrol-powered car grew on a tree?
iTunes does not use brushed metal anymore if you have the most recent version. Also there is no brushed metal anywhere on the case of the current G5s. They use smooth matte textured aluminum for the sides with a punched round hole grid on the front. Pictures here: http://www.apple.com/powermac/gallery/hero.html
Let's say a vendor did fix the vulnerability. It's fine not to release the details of the vulnerability, but as a user I want to know that there was a vulnerability, how long it existed, and how long it took them to fix it once they were notified. It helps me make an educated decision as a consumer about which product to use. A vendor who has a track record of lots of vulnerabilities may not produce a product good enough for me to be using compared to their competition, but if they have very short turnover time on fixes that may outweigh excessive flaws. Keep the user educated, not in the dark.
How about hand-held rockets aimed at crowded train stations, or bus terminals or any other public place that gathers throngs of people? Sounds to me like this is someone trying to make some money and play with cool toys under the guise of a non-existant threat.
While making Windows free may solve one problem, it still promotes Microsoft products, in a sense extending the monopoly they have. This does the exact opposite of what the ruling is trying to fix.
It would be like introducing an invasive beetle to an ecosystem to eat an invasive vine you let loose ten years earlier. In the end you still have a problem with an invasive species.
Editors might not be necessary for all 50,000 new articles each month. The vast majority of those are on subjects that are not controversial. It would be much more feasible to set up a system of editors only for articles that were potentially controversial. Editing would become a much less daunting task if there were ways to require a submitter to tag an article as a religious one or a current event or maybe even allow viewers a hassle free way to bring an editors attention to an article.
Wikipedia would need over 1,000 reviewers - some of whom would have to be experts in extremely narrow fields.
Those "narrow fields" are, more than likely, not controversial subjects and even if they are, they are narrow and not popular enough to cause a major problem. The majority of people looking in depth at those fields will be people who already have some knowledge of the subject and they could correct any bias on their own using Wikipedia's current system.
I know they are different, but I'm on an old school Mac and I have Virtual PC. Both systems can see USB drives and use them at the same time with Virtual PC so I would think something could be done at some point to fix this. Of course one system uses emulation and one does not so there are differences that maybe could be explained by someone wiser than me.
The guy is 64 years old and has been dealing with a high stress situation for 5 years.
I'll leave open the possibility of suicide, but I think it unlikely. There are far more convenient ways to kill yourself.
Considering he put himself in that stressful situation, which undoubtedly aggravated any heart difficulties he was having, you probably could call it suicide.

The font for the Google logo is Catull, named after Catullus (the Roman pornographic poet mentioned above).

My G4 and my mother's iMac core2duo also rebooted twice. I think that is standard for this update.
Yeah but yours was gimped.
Digital ones just predict the end of all time.
Great diagram too!

His date: What do you do for a living?
Douglas: I'm a penetration engineer.
I can only imagine two results from a response like that, one is a drink in the face, the other is a long night.

That was extremely well worded and well thought out and deserves to be modded up.
I knew I shouldn't have wiped off those AOL coasters.

I believe those walls are as much to help keep the predators out as they are to keep the chickens in.
