...until all of your linux boxes need ram at the same time. at least with overprovisioning, you know you won't tip the scales if all your machines burst at the same time.
Put a billion dollars on a Macbook and people will fuck it up beyond recognition. At the moment, the popular virus toolkits and script kiddies all focus on MS, but that is slowly changing.
**I spent 10 seconds googling 'mac vulnerabilities'. I probably could have found some better links, but I don't want to waste any more time on someone so misinformed.
I think there are extremes on both sides. 5mph being on the 'too slow' side, while 85+ probably being 'too fast'. but you know, this is slashdot, so slam away instead of contributing.
I initially modded you up, but I have to comment and strip my points.
I can't find the exact statistic now, but I remember reading how the percent of fatal accidents skyrockets as speed increases...this tidbit supports my statement above:
Speeding increases the crash energy by the square of the speeds. For example, when impact speed increases from 40 to 60 mph (a 50 percent increase), the energy that needs to be managed increases by 125 percent! IIHS
Plus, if you set the speed limit to 85, how fast do you think people would be driving then?
In Atlanta people already drive like idiots. I've never seen so many people speeding through apartment/mall parking lots! It's insane. At any moment a kid could run out from a car and just get crushed! In Pittsburgh, where I spent most of my early adulthood, the speed limits were a lot lower, and I certainly felt safer (walking, driving, biking...doing anything near a road)
There are all sorts of exceptions to that rule. The first most common is that you have a certain period of time, generally only a few days, to find and report such fraudulent charges or you will not be refunded 100%. (do you check your transactions every day while on vacation?) Second, what if they used a Debit card and their checking account was emptied. Sure, they might eventually get their money back, but it could take a month or more.
So yea, this might actually affect people in a significant way. Quit downplaying this ridiculous breach in security because you monitor your Capital One card every single morning.
just stick with gold accounts. MS has the right idea. because how are you even gonna tie an account to a console? some type of hardware MAC address? you know how easy it is to spoof a MAC address right?!
I don't like it because MIT is just trying to outshine a girl in high school. Britney Gallivan is the one who came up with the equations and broke the old stigma that a paper can only be folded in half 7 times.
Screw MIT and their infinite budget for media attention. Her equations showed you can indeed have more folds if your paper is long and thin enough. This 'professor' needs to find something more worthwhile to do besides take away from a kid who had a great discovery.
Well in the context of modern society, if 15 million people bought iPads already. Then I would consider that pretty strong evidence there might be a 'need' for it then.
99% is a bit extreme. You make it sound like you have to search for drinkable water every damn day.
Crawl out of your mothers basement already.
Education itself is just a tool, you still have to go out and take risks. The more tools you have available, the better your chances that you will be successful.
you seem to be assuming because there isn't an essential need for something (like water for instance) that there is no market for it.
the truth is, Most purchases are frivolous. take every video game you've ever played... or television... or <insert just about everything outside of food and water>
really?? because there were multiple Hydrogen Explosions at Fukushima which sent radioactive material into the atmosphere. I wasn't referring to a full-on hydrogen bomb scenario, but a slightly more severe Fukushima.
so far, you might be the only person who has persuaded me to rethink my position.
I just hate not being able to 'turn it off' in an emergency situation. I mean hell, Fukushima is still having problems and they have had access to everything, for weeks!
A couple diesel generators failed and the whole stupid thing is about to melt down. That seems completely irresponsible and unsafe to me.

that was my first thought. i'd sign it and blast him anyway, WTF?
I hardly felt like the Tsunami was pushed back to page 5.
Maybe you need to tone down your sensationalism as well.
CTRL + SHIFT + B will pop the bookmark bar up/down for you.
But I guess I am expecting too much for people to RTFM.
And no, I haven't memorized hundreds of keyboard shortcuts. Just the ones that I found interesting/useful. (probably 5 or 6)
maybe he was trying to kill her.

Do you even read tech/science news?

That is not a problem inherent to Microsoft operating systems.
Just because you haven't seen those popups on your Macbook yet, doesn't mean they aren't right around the corner.
because there's something evil about every big corporation.
that's how it works.
there are ZERO white knights in the list of Fortune 500 companies.
Your only other choice is to become f'ing Amish.
thanks!

eh, semantics. it's still outside the realm of Tech/Math class. and clearly it was deemed important for all students for some reason.
take your suppository and settle down.
Because he went to a University, where education is supposed to make you well-rounded.
If everyone wanted to hyper-specialize, I.T.T. Tech would be a lot more popular.
Some of us enjoyed our electives and are happy we took them.
bravo. i forgot about that nonsense.

that seems like wasted over engineering to me.

Technically you could have told me to RTFS more accurately.
Regardless, this teacher is still lame.

The Chernobyl reactor also exploded without TNT. Quit being a troll...

i dont know what you were talking about regarding weapons proliferation. that was never my argument.
