a major security flaw in the justice department Antitrust division is allowing a notorious hacker named Bill Gates to run this malicious program called 'windows' on my pc. It happens everytime I try to work or shop at web sites, for some odd reason windows is required. Thankfully I can protect my personal machines from this attack, but work and business machines remain vulnerable.
OBSD ships with sendmail accepting connections on localhost only - the first thing I always do is install the postfix package before accepting mail from the outside world.
real EE's learn not only that but machine language, instruction decoding and control of sequential logic machines at the register transfer level, memory elements and logic gates, how transistors and CMOS works, the quantum physics and electrical properties of semiconductors as well as pulse signal propagation, transmission lines and impedances, etc.
That's the number of chess games you may have to consider to play perfect chess
What if two perfect players started a game of chess, and w/o even moving a single piece the one playing white announced forced mate in 27 moves, and black resigns with a hopeless position.
Actually, another one would be the Japanese calculator firm Busicom hiring some semiconductor memory company named Intel to make a calculator chipset, getting a general purpose computer on a chip, and then renegotiating for a lower price while allowing Intel to sell it.
Well, CTRL-ALT-DEL was famous to PC users long before NT3.1 came out - sounds like the worlds best known 'easter egg' - but there's plenty of times you need to 'warm boot' w/o having to go thru a complete bios hw init and memory test, like when your tuning your startup files.
It always does. We've been thru dozens of these 'devestating' quality issues and the victims just queue up at Local Computer Store to buy another one. That's why they keep legions of hungry microsoftie out there to clean up after the latest worm de jour, meanwhile the gazillionair will be awarded a Nobel Peace prize or something.I mean, cheezus, it's only software - it's not like people are getting killed in poor quality cars or anything. Everybody knows you should backup important data anyway so just chill out and obey old your pc overlords.
it's almost like a poker bluff - they're betting like they have a great hand, hoping the others will fold, cut their losses and just let SCO have what's in the pot. However, they didn't realize there's some old timers at the table with deep pockets willing to see their bet and call them on it. Eventually SCO is going to have to show their hand.
the shuttle was traveling at 18x the speed of light
Wow, that's bizarre, even for sloppy journalism. Everyone knows that Columbia couldn't go much more than warp 10 without Scotty in engineering pitching a fit.
here's one simple kit with a reader and some rfid tags to experiment with. One of those 'contact us for price' deals. I'm suprised nutsvolts.com or circuitcellar.com hasn't had hobbyist/experimenters articles about RFID yet.
I had to laugh at a James Bond file played on tv recently, Live and Let Die from about 1973 - in one bed scene he lifts his arm to look at: A DIGITAL WATCH!! 4 big red led digits.
Here's an interesting fact that demonstrates a failure of democracy (govt by public opinion):
"large quantities of uranium and thorium and other radioactive species in coal ash are not being treated as radioactive waste. These products emit low-level radiation, but because of regulatory differences, coal-fired power plants are allowed to release quantities of radioactive material that would provoke enormous public outcry if such amounts were released from nuclear facilities. Nuclear waste products from coal combustion are allowed to be dispersed throughout the biosphere in an unregulated manner. Collected nuclear wastes that accumulate on electric utility sites are not protected from weathering, thus exposing people to increasing quantities of radioactive isotopes through air and water movement and the food chain. "
Poincare: "For fifteen days I struggled to prove that no functions analogous to those I have since called Fuchsian functions could exist; I was then very ignorant. Every day I sat down at my work table where I spent an hour or two; I tried a great number of combinations and arrived at no result. One evening, contrary to my custom, I took black coffee; I could not go to sleep; ideas swarmed up in clouds; I sensed them clashing until, to put it so, a pair would hook together to form a stable combination. By morning I had established the existence of a class of Fuchsian functions, those derived from the hypergeometric series. I had only to write up the results which took me a few hours. - Henri Poincare, "Science et Methode": "
"The chemist Kekule was the first to deduce the ring structure of benzene; after years of studying carbon bonding, benzene and related molecules, the solution to the benzene structure came to him in a dream of a snake eating its own tail. Upon waking was inspired to deduce the ring structure of benzene. "
I think that's what mgmt consultants call "internalizing" - turning something you know intellectually, that you just learned and have to make an effort to think of, into something intuitive, that just automatically occurs.
remove the carbon from hydrocarbons - does the C in ordinary gasoline combustion contribute any energy or is it just a greenhouse gas pollutant? This way they can please the greens and Shell/Exxon/BP etc at the same time.
What I did was tie a string from my wireless mouse to the back of the PC - that keeps it from getting lost. As for batteries, they should make a wall wart power adaper.

not long when bored at work - factor into primes then look them up at http://primes.utm.edu/curios/index.php
For instance, 208464 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 43 * 101
2^4 * 3 * 43 * (5! - 4! + 3! - 2! + 1!)

So what is he going to do now? Travel the college lecture circuit? "Tonight at 8PM in Simpsons Hall: The Man Who Invented CTRL-ALT-DEL"
Or his last performance review at IBM: "I know you invented CTRL-ALT-DEL, but what have you done for us lately?"
At least now he has time to spend in the garage on his latest invention, SHIFT-ESC-HOME.

That article, 'Why Speculate' was doing fine until this line:
Our magnetic field is what keeps the atmosphere in place.
What he should have said was, "Is the magnetic field what keeps the atmosphere in place, or could it be gravity?"

Now that MicRo is famous he could give in and change it to buttheadedsoftwarearchitect.com
