Stripping? I might miss some details, but getting to sell it for 2.000.000.000$ is not bad. But the, I am european, and i do not understand this sport^h^h^h^h^hFrancise you are talking about.

If data is fragmented over multiple blocks, It requires mulitple reads. But this kind of fragmentation is not as bad as HDD where you had a seek time of 7-8 ms. Matching the block size of the SDD to the block sie of the FS is an effective performance enhancement.

Modern SDD have read limits. Every 10.000 reads or so the data has to be refreshed. The firmware will do this silent.

In some test by the TU delft the autonomous cars test are now foucsing on how the driver takes over from the car. The coming of autonomous cars will come fluent. First there will be advanced lane asist and takeover of tasks that are easy for computers. And of course the driving in a "train" with minimal space between cars. More and more functions will be added.

Fully autonomous will be a long way to go. e.g. to determine the last street where you want to go might be a very hard task. GPS navigations rarely guides you to the exact position, where to park, and the exact house is a complicated task.

Should they flag them? No, flagging too much will cause the users to just ignore the messages. And for most facebook communication http traffic will be just as good as https traffic.

But it should note that the security is as good as http traffic, in other words, do not display a lock.

By the way, think about it, security devices. Security for you? Did you pay those devices? No, it is security for those who pay for the devices.

Together with a bunch of XPcaplipse machine the next Sqlslammer work is waiting on the next unpached vlunebility to hit the internet after May 8.

And from the viewpoint of Slashdot the world as Slashdot knows it. will end without internetnet.

To prevent such random risks to people earning money in the eu there will be laws to protect the common people.

However i think this is about personal accounts. If you want a bank account for a porn business you might have to shop arround.

What i have actually know of was the chicken or the egg problem. To get access to their bank account (after a robbery) people needed ID. But to get a new (emergency) ID, the town hall needed money to pay for that. Normally you would know someone to lent the money from, but this person did not have a very good reputation with paying people back.

I myself keep a (medium quality) copy of my drivers license in my car. If i ever get pulled over and forgot my paper i might get of with a warning if i can show the copy.

The value of friends and family is important in such cases.

Become a farmer or a vet.

Don't see the joy in that.

1. Provide reruns as streamable video.
2. Raise price of rerun to new customers

You can practice teeíng, and /or putting. But it frustating if you play the bal clase to the hole, but still need 2-3 strokes just to put it in.

A game with 15 inch holes might be more fun, still get you in the sun, and kick some balls. Just no need to call it golf.

By the way, farmers golf (boerengolf) is becoming popular over here. You take a voleyball, and some buckets, and something resembling golf sticks, and just have a few hours of fun between the cows.

So instead of nameing version after a year (2000, 2003, 2008.....), they finally lost track of good version number. Some users barely are aware they are running an OS. And now it has gone so bad that even /. editors fail to keep track of version numbers of the most used OS in the world.

DVD are still mostly copy protected by the highly ineffective CCS copy protection. blue ray are more effectively protected, but the protection still is breakable by a lot of tools.

by european law is decided:
"the following anti-circumventing rules were implemented in European Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the council of May 22, 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society.

This directive states in article 6, 'Obligations as to technological measures':

        Member States shall provide adequate legal protection against the circumvention of any effective technological measures, which the person concerned carries out in the knowledge, or with reasonable grounds to know, that he or she is pursuing that objective.
"

So you may copy it, but if you break ANY technlogical measure, you an still be sued by the content mafia fpr breaking copy protection technology. So think twice before you make a guide on your homepage how to copy a dvd.

That is when i say automakers are for to conservative. Someone will find something against it. THere are litteraary dozen of inventions where you can engage the brake without the interuption where you move your foot.

And this really has been invented dozens of times, and i bet thos patents are expired by now.

And the one thing is that this innovation will not come from the racing community, because that is the rare exception that you really need brakes and accelerator together (sometimes)

I do not see any problem with cruise control... To the rest of the car this will still be a seperate brake and accelerator.

The one pedal to do braking and accelarating is already invented a dozen times. it is faster and stops this kind of error.
  It is just that car owners are far to conservative to make this a succes.

It is not the traffic violation that is so important. The fact is also recorded where you were at the time of the violation. That information could me more valuable. Some terrorist originating from pakistan has no history at all and could be a false indentity. Have some minor traffic violations validates taht you exists.... ;)
