Yes. You need to see characters on screen. Then you are making input so that the character which you are seeing the most is your input character. If I can see your screen, I can see what you selected. Only secure method to implement this: user sees screen through some peephole. But then he can simply choose letter from randomized position, like in current "secure virtual keypads".
It would be better to collect all this 700 000 gallons of water with some roof installed several meters high and run water turbine with water falling down. Of course you have then 700000 gallons of water per day, which you can slightly filter and you hve drinking water. Pure profit, and no ???.
And yet the cables are laid in what seems to be busy shipping channels in easy anchor reach?
Cities with a port are typically big cities with many people. If you have cables in wilderness, how would you get techies there? How would you find those willing to work far from civilization? You would also need to connect endpoints in wilderness to something on land (typically, to big cities where there are backbone endpoints).
I didn't know that a cable is cut every three days, nobody speaks about it too much. Good thing we have redundancy. In such case those recent cable cuts are not so strange. Either this, or NSA is realy busy with cable wiretapping;)
Actually "serving pages" aspect is not bad. How many of your typical pages use more than 100mb of memory? If you have 65536 processors each page request could be handled on other node.
Not gonna happen. One computer - one organization as the power. Does all corporations use gmail? No. The ssame with OSCPW (One Super Computer Per World).
And yet it still appears that they are still not offline.
Iranian minister of (dis)information: We are not offline, I repeat, we are not offline.
It looks like he is more effective that Iraqi minissssster of information.
Also... If it works - it works. Does my GPS or stereo run on Linux? Who cares? It works.
I care. You are clearly not geek or nerd. You don't care HOW your gadgets work. What are you doing on slashdot if you aren't interested in what is preented here? (It's not like "You are not slashdotter, go away", i'm really interested why do you post on slashdot). Some readers of slashdot LIKE what is presented here, but you say: it doesn't interest ME, so it's not interesting. And TFA is clearly on topic with slashdot (because it mentions linux), if everyone has your way, what will remain from slashdot? Digg?
If they start telling everyone there is a shortage then they will start hording, soon they'll have old ladys with 323 gigs of Murder She Wrote and Matlock.
But if they start telling everyone "No, there is absolutely no shortage, that's unpossible" it will be much worse.
tell folks that if they get a Mac they don't have to buy DVD burning software, picture management software, music tools, backup software, etc. and they say, "Wow - that's hundreds of dollars of software I don't have to buy."
Just wait till they hear about linux, this is anoder hundreds of dollars they don't have to spend.
You can end up a wholly different person. And even if others around you don't make the connection, you may find some day years later that you've lost yourself as a person.
From Ghost in the shell:
When I was a child,
I used to talk as a child,
think as a child,
reason as a child;
when I became a man,
I put aside childish things.
We are many different persons through our life. We change almost daily but these are mainly small, imperceptible changes. It's not really a problem for me, but if drugs make changes which are intolerable for you, it may be a problem. But what if you took a pill which not reversed those changes, but changed you so that you could tolerate them? We should have another film like GitS, about tolerating those intolerable changes.

Actually, I think the same way as you.

Maybe using directional microphone to listen for characteristic noise of vibrating trackball? See, you didn't have to wait whole month.

I agree, WTF indeed. Alcatel-Lucent isn't some conspiracy organization. It's big, but "so what?".

Yeah, talk about typos. I had one time tried to say "Could you hand me salt?" to my girlfriend, but by mistake I said "You stupid b**ch".
You mean those nuclear or perpetuum-volt ones?
If it was RIAA in the tank, he would be 2D man.
If they found only one middle state, they could implement { true, false, file_not_found } enum
In some countries when there is very small traffic (i.e. night), lights just blink orange.
Sorry, my bad. I didn't noticed it. I'm not slashbot, it was just a mistake.
Which link? First is on-topic reuters page, second links to slashdot article. I think you are just a troll.
