I think the best solution to this is to have the wind travel in an enclosed copper tube, and have the gas inside be better than air with heat transfer. Put radiator fins on the inside and outside of the tube, and you've got yourself a nice quiet cooling system with no burning dust.
Sounds like there weren't any security impact meetings and that one group in "IT" didn't care, but once the app was up and running, another group (whatever your security group is called) _did_ care, a _lot_. IT isn't just a "utility" through which the money makers provide services to the clients, it's also a buffer that protects the whole company from security flaws that can lose said clients.
The problem is that meter maids can't patrol private property. Someone from Apple has to call the police on the violator. No one is going to do that to Jobs unless they're planning on leaving the company soon.
If you're a quadriplegic, then I'd say not yet, because the tech isn't yet here to compensate. It will be though.
If you're a paraplegic, then sure, why not? The tech to compensate works just fine. Switches for brakes and accel on steering wheel.
If you've got correctable vision problems, again, sure, why not? The tech to compensate works here too. Glasses, contacts, electronic eyes in 30-40 years maybe.
If you're not omnipotent and thus can't avoid causing accidents, why not? The tech to compensate for that handicap works reasonably well. Crumple zones, roll cages, ALB, air bags, seat belts...
Indeed; I do them all on a 500MHz PIII with 512MB of RAM. And I rarely tip over 256MB even while compiling, so half of the RAM is just cache-fodder unless I'm watching a movie.
Once you have mastered the sendmail.cf, nothing is too complex for you.
Seriously though, this comment is spot on: http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=491582&cid=22785524
although I'd suggest LISP instead of Scheme if you're looking to learn about functional programming (Scheme has common libraries which allow you to fake procedural programming too easily, so it's not as good for learning the functional programming model, despite it being better[?] than LISP).
And you can
dd if=/dev/sda1
before and after to be sure.
If you're really paranoid, there's also shred:
shred -n 300 -z -v/dev/sda1
(writes random data to/dev/sda1 300 times, then writes 0's. Spends a couple cycles with I/O to screen to let you know it still cares, [-n 0 -z -v] for a verbose version of dd if=/dev/zero)
This "state" of the news media isn't bad. Life itself for most people has very little science going on in the foreground. Just because we slashdotters wallow in science and technology all day long at work doesn't mean we should be cramming it down people's throats during news broadcasts.
It's a reliable indicator of when something is wrong in a way that flash drives can't have something wrong...
pinging of seeking track 0: platter HDD only
scraping sound of misaligned read-heads: platter HDD only
unmistakable sounds of 10k SCSI drive spin up/down: platter HDD only
It's kind of like saying the reason you like a gasoline car versus an electric car is because the bad sounds a gasoline engine will make when it starts failing. (of course, as a pedestrian, I happen to like gas engines for the noise they make in normal usage. HDDs don't tend to run me over though, so I can live without the sounds.)
His point was if the hash is stored on the device... the Hash is stored On the Device; bad security model.
Fingerprint readers are kind of like a new, lazy, security guard; he kind of knows what people look like, and he'll let anyone in the building that looks close enough. Unfortunately, he _has_ to let people in who look close enough, or he'll get fired (the fingerprint reader won't be purchased).
Fingerprint readers are even worse than the human, because you can fake them so easily. So, you've got what amounts to a 2-digit combination lock on a key-locker that opens up the rest of the building.
Mod Parent up. This seems much less weird when you think of it in these terms. They're just doing "normal" test-tube babies. Not with Bovine, but with whale+whale.
They'd have experiments testing whale sperm with lightbulbs if it meant they could hunt more whales (you don't think they get the sperm by asking politely, do you?).
a gun in your house does not promote peace, it promotes tragedy... when i encounter someone who [keeps a gun in their home to protect] their lives, i see a fascist, and i see a criminal. a real noble man goes to deadly force with great reserve and sober and grim last resort... to depend upon deadly force... is the sign of an evil man, a dumb man, and an insecure man
There, fixed that for what I think you were trying to say. You have to _have_ the gun if you're going to use it as a sober and grim last resort. And, you have to depend on it quickly unless you think the _true_ fascist or criminal will wait like a super-criminal for you to speak your mind first.
FYI: I don't own a gun because I recognize myself as very accident prone, but I do own a crossbow and a usable longsword if things get crazy.;-)
... reads the questions, pausing for 30 seconds after each one, computer whirring in the corner... Speed dating might get a whole new power setting from this... I can see quite a few things changing radically when you don't have to the have the social clutter of one person talking at a time.
That social clutter is crucial to the dating process; unless you're looking for instant-computer-dating with a different input method.
Did you never see the video of the guy lifting the crashed helicopter off his friend ~10 years ago? Sure, he just lifted half of it, and he was a "big" guy, but he shouldn't have been able to do that.
Of course, we're now one step closer to making it impossible to detect cheating on tests, and similar scenarios.
That just means tests will now have to pass or fail groups of people in a Faraday cage, then jumble the group(s) up for another similar test. Perhaps businesses of the future might like to hire small groups of people that can share knowledge efficiently enough to ace a test...

Software RAID over USB saturates the bus very quickly. I'd keep to two or three 8 or 16 GB sticks if I were you.

Infinitely far off. If any sovereign nation relied on "the World Grid", they wouldn't be sovereign long.

Okay, a RAID6 array, with a couple inline hot-swap chips.
You've hit your 3TB limit, and _our_ 3PB limit from _our_ service provider. We no longer want your business.
