Terror groups have been thinking that way since long before GWB uttered the words. He didn't create that mindset; he merely pointed it out.

It's one thing to read a clinical description of a concussion, or read a description of the experience written by someone who has experienced it. It is something quite different to experience a concussion yourself. No verbal content can convey the depth and breadth of the misery.

It has to do with exactly *how* the connections are made as the plug is inserted. Ground/common so static can dissipate, then data/signal, then power last. Each line connects only to its corresponding line in the other piece. A 3.5mm plug doesn't provide that kind of "signal safety"; at some point, it's possible the power on one side would touch the ground on the other, and put a charge into the device before it was fully plugged-in.

Given that the covalent radius of silicon is 111 picometers, that comes to a channel that's 63 silicon atoms across.

And I thought 65nm (~300 silicon atoms across) was impressive five years ago.

If it isn't really dark, with all the indicator lights extinguished, how well can one expect to sleep? Even a single blue power light on a PC is enough to interfere with REM. And, if the windows aren't totally blacked, having a sunrise-sunset every 45 minutes can't help, either.

Sure, the security holes will be part of the spec instead of mere reckless fsck-ups.

"You will lose an important disk file."

Like the backups of your Fotopedia submissions.

It's always, without exception, a strategic move by the PR department, to encourage public chatter about some product. And when it isn't, it's denounced by the company in question as "stolen."

IOW, yet another "Slashvertisement."

But it's still Canada's fault.

My on-board Intel sound system doesn't provide the voltage to drive my headphones, so I inserted a Creative SB to do the job.

So, yeah, me too.

If Mann and UVA got any public monies for the research in question, then isn't it the law that his emails relating to the research be publicly accessible?

As a "fighter" of crime, Microsoft would be in the featherweight category.

Using Microsoft's tools to fight cybercrime is bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Anyone demanding my trust, automatically loses it. Same goes for respect.

No, the earthquakes are caused by fracking, and the pre-quake pressure causes the pulses. So, the pulses are of indirect human origin, while maintaining plausible deniability.

Come on, don't you know anything about conspiracy theories?

Because, after all, if you're in a plane (even if it's hijacked), you shouldn't be allowed to call 911 or your loved ones on your cell phone.

Every time I think Congress couldn't get any stupider, they prove me wrong.
