Hydrogen would be very safe. It rises faster than it burns so there is essentially no fire risk and as long as you build the tank right there will be no explosion risk either.
Great points. However I think that with continued development you're going to find that hydrogen is what eventually replaces gas as our power source of choice for cars. Eventually it will pull up, hook up, refuel, drive away. The biggest hurdle there is an efficient delivery system and excess power to create hydrogen with (need more nuclear). Batteries are great in that they're portable power but honestly they're nasty little things, especially when they burn or get damaged. I worked with some super-capacitors for a small company making hybrid electric buses for NYC, they were amazing in that they could hold 1000 Farrads at 2V, however they made a nice cyanide cloud if they burned...
And? If you want a Mac you have to pay for a Mac. The premium might be higher than in the past but it's always been there. At least they have good build quality most of the time.
Depends on the software he's trying to run. If he can run it on Linux then that would be a better route but if WINE doesn't support it fully and it isn't written for Linux then his option is to run a VM and at that point he might as well just run Windows 7.
At least one person around here understands a little about how to use a gun... Except it's two to the chest, never the gut. If you want to follow on you shoot him in the head or the pelvis.
Having been part of the physics community for a few years (got a BS in it for some reason) I can say those little worlds often result in some useful science. Usually when someone not in the fantasy land looks in sees that one or two things that guy is working on might have merit and looks into it. Who knows if one of these guys working on time travel might actually figure out what time is? If we don't know what time or gravity even is who is to say that this work might not be instrumental in figuring it out? As long as it is a minority working on the fantastical, science will still make progress with a few boosts here and there by some crazy idea that actually works.
Some manufacturers make it very negligible hurdle to jump to get root. HTC for the most part seems to not care too much and in many ways seems to provide off the books help to many rooting/mod projects. (For example there were 4 leaks of various pre-release versions of the 2.1 OS for the Eris, one of which had an engineering bootloader)
Android the OS comes open but most of the phone makers lock down their hardware (likely due to pressure from carriers like Verizon and ATT). It has legitimate purposes such as making it hard for luzers to accidently do bad things to their phone. Rooting is pretty much the same thing as jailbreaking, I think there are some subtle differences.
Once you've got root you can usually (not in the Droid X or Milestone's case) run custom ROMs based upon the actual Android source (AOSP) or pretty much any other hardware too. It lets you add features to the phones such as overclocking, setting up wifi tethering, and adding newer wizz bangs to older phones that the maker no longer deems worth updating.

Droid X Gets Rooted

Except you don't need to root to tether an Android phone. There are many programs in the Market that will do that for you without needing root in any way.
So your completely ignorant point is completely worthless. Good thing you're a Coward.
A bunch of people working in a saturated job market are pissed off they might have to compete for jobs in a different manner?
Sounds to me like they don't want to actually produce a product and have the customer pay for the one they like best. They would much rather sign the customer to a contract and make money whether or not the end product would have made the customer the happiest.
Seems like a win-win for the customer and the market. The customer gets the product he wants and the people that make superior products get business and likely setup future business as well.
If you mean making people pay obscenely high markups then you would be correct.
It give Apple an incredible amount of leverage, if someone comes into the market who puts enough pressure on apple they can just drop the price some and still make profit. It is a great business strategy since people are basically paying early adopter prices for the entire life cycle of a product.
I don't like Apple, their products, or their philosophy but as a company they are doing things right.
My mother is in a very similar situation as you, she teaches children with aspergers and autism. I grew around children of all ages 5-19 that had these issues. Some of them were much worse than others but many of them definitely didn't understand right and wrong, at least not in the way you and I do.
I don't know much about the merit's of this case but if what I understand is that he wasn't malicious and actually tried to help the admins out by leaving them notes on how to fix things then this is certainly an issue of not understanding that what he did was wrong and that he thought he was helping.
For crimes commited if not in a different country (yay internet blurring boundries) but upon a different country? I can certainly see why there is a debate about this.
I personally am a fan of trying people where the victims are.
Thank god someone here understands math. The major factor you didn't account for is the user being able to remember a password, without writing it down somewhere.
A 35 character passphrase (just letters case sensitive) is certainly much less secure than a full ascii password of the same length but it much easier for the majority of people to remember. I personally would rather use a long pass phrase (mine is something like 45 characters) than a shorter password.
In my example using just case sensitive letters (and space) for the passphrase and using alphanumeric plus the symbols on the keyboard for the password the phrase was roughly 40 orders of magnitude more difficult than the password.
The guy you're responding to was trying to say that you would have to use a dictionary with brute force attack in combination to work on a pass phrase but I didn't even try to comprehend his math but the concept was correct. Brute forcing a 8 word pass phrase with a dictionary (that has all the words in it) effectively turns into brute forcing and 8 character password.
Agreed but I was trying to limit the discussion to the one issue. At work (I'm military) we use an ID card in conjunction with a PIN to log into all systems. The Something You Have and the Something You Know. For our very secure systems we also use fingerprints to add the Something You Are to complete the security tripod.
Ideally you should use at least two of those for all systems that are even remotely sensitive and all 3 for truly sensitive systems.
Summary: Something You Know Something You Have Something You Are
Yep just the image viewer works a treat. The lack of folder navigation is my biggest gripe (pretty much my only one) with the 505 and exactly why intelligent naming is so important:-p
Stop using pass words and move on to pass phrases. They can be fairly long and still easy to remember. Increasing the number of characters does more to make something hard to crack than adding more symbols does.
Hell a phrase like "Purple Elephants make for a rough Work Day" is much harder to crack than "1qaz@WSX3edc$RFV"
It may make dictionary attacks more effective but it will completely destroy brute force methods. Of course the biggest issue is still social engineering so it is still a mostly moot point once you get past trivial passwords.

I didn't notice the other cop the first couple times I saw the video. Thanks for pointing that out.

Good thing no one goes to NZ for anything except for (apparently used) sheep then isn't it?

Well to start with he'd be silly to use fractions in a system that deplores them...
Could be that he doesn't want that access but wants to know who his new boss will be when the old boss is no longer viable.
Having that kind of core stability is one of the aspects that has allowed linux to bloom in recent years.
It seems to me we're seeing a large amount of progress because of a stable base surrounded by competitive user space projects.
Seriously where is 3.0? Everyone knows it is only progress when the first number gets bigger. Like the number of g's for cell phones.

The sad part of all of this is that for all the good will he just generated with you he put his job at great risk.

I'm sorry AC did I hit too close to home? I was simply stating that of the easily distracted artiste sect they tend to gravitate to Apple.
That by no means states that all of Apple's customers are easily distracted artistes.
