You don't get it. People who want low security don't care about password crackers. They care about the secretary the cubicle over double clicking on the file because it has an interesting file name. And when it asks for a password, she'll desist. Even if that password is "!".

As soon as the industry settles on Light Peak... Apple will start using the Mini Light Peak connector, which will join the list of other connectors that they minified or adopted:

-Mini DVI
-Micro DVI
-Mini VGA
-Mini Display Port
-Mini Toslink

It must be known to the world that 1) not broadcasting your SSID and 2) restricting MAC addresses both do NOTHING for security. Best to leave your SSID broadcast, not restrict MAC addresses, and actually implement REAL security: WPA2 with a strong key.

Sorry, but this is when happens when computer geeks, people who deal everyday with logic and structure, comment on psychology. Human psychology does not run by the same rules, especially in abnormal patients, when logic and structure go out the window. There are no wrong or correct answers to the individual images in this test; a trained administrator will listen to the answers as a group, and listen to the manner in which the subject spoke the answers, to look for clues of psychosis.

I would like to see the CPU usage of different browsers tested. I run Firefox 3.5b and Safari 4 on OS X 10.5, and with JUST ONE TAB open with gmail loaded, firefox uses 8% of the CPU sustained with bursts for some reason to 40%, and safari uses 1%.

With my usual workload, with like 40 tabs open among 5 or 6 windows, Firefox uses 40%, safari 4%. This is ridiculous! This means a lot when you're on a portable on battery, not to mention general system responsiveness.

I would like to see the CPU usage of browsers compared.

If they dont want to show up to class, let them fail. If they really want them to be there, have there be a short quiz at the beginning of class. At any decent university, if you have someone else take a quiz for you, you'll be suspended or expelled.

You must be fun at parties.

You forgot about Family Guy, one of their biggest examples of a show axed too early. Of course we know they brought it back, but still.

For what it's worth, I have CFLs on a Clapper that work fine. Actually three CFLs on the same plug into the Clapper, so maybe the combined resistances in parallel allow it to work.

This thread is almost a day old now, but hopefully some people will see this...

How does one shut down a large company without letting it fail first? I mean practically. Now that Britannica's business model is kaput, and there are dozens of better reasons to use Wikipedia, that leads Britannica by several orders of magnitude... is it even an option for them to say, "Lets just shut down, sell out assets, and give out the cash to the employees"?

Pretty much: business execs today could never let that happen. They would have to chase every dead end possible until the business completely failed, or it was bought by another company.

So, can a LARGE (non-Mom-N-Pop) business just close?

Whether or not they are a race or faith or religion is debatable and semantics, and inconsequential to my point.

And you're saying that the overall thoughts of the Muslim community in the Middle East should apply to these AMERICANS who happen to be related to them in blood only?

Are you blaming African Americans for the various genocides going on in Africa now? They are completely removed, as are the Muslims regarding your thesis.

Is there any indication if the decision to not let them back on the plane after the FBI okayed them was made by a low or high level employee?

If some clerk/pilot made the call, then there's no indication it's "systemic" with the airline, and they can be fired and we can see if the problem goes away. However, if a higher-up in AirTran made the decision, there may be a real reason for backlash from the Muslim community (or anyone that disapproves of racism).

I was born in the 80s so I don't know what the days were like in this country when "blacks" had to sit at the back of the bus, but man this whole anti-muslim thing, while not believed by a majority of Americans, is still prevalent enough for me to not want to be a Muslim living in this country. And a race of people not wanting to live in this country due to prejudice is the opposite of the American Way, and is the opposite path to us maintaining our world strength.

The site was run on OS X Server... I think this may be indicative of the level of IT effort with the company. Look, *I* run an OS X Server... but *I* am a Biology major that knows approximately dick about the UNIX command line, and use it to run a server that I probably wouldn't be able to run any other way. I also have it backup nightly to a cheap NAS, archiving old backups, and I've tested a restore to make sure it works.

This is probably just a couple guys who ran a website in their spare time... not a huge IT effort that failed.

Man everyone assumes malice and being able to be influenced by advertisers. You can be both ad sponsored AND not have an agenda. Newspapers do this by having a separate ad/biz department and news department... even the Editor In Chief at a newspaper has no say on the ads content. Wikipedia could produce a similar policy.

They shouldn't pay contributors though, and they should only accept enough money to handle operations.

It works via dot gain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_gain), where ink tends to spread on paper. This happens with both inkjet and offset presses.

This would be much better implemented as part of the pre-press process of the publisher. The publisher could select all headlines, and apply a "holes" pattern much more specific to their press and their ink levels.
