So aside from the details of this particular incident, why doesn't this happen more?

I want to be clear that I don't want this to happen, it's clearly a bad, bad thing when it does, but think of it this way: Each term (semester, quarter) millions of people enroll in classes. Tens of thousands of classes. Business 101, Advanced Operating System Design, Underwater Basket Weaving, whatever. Statistically it's very unlikely that any given class will fail (there's probably at least one person who's going to do the work well enough to pass) but over the whole set of classes, term after term, year after year, shouldn't we expect to see this happen at least once every so often?

That's probably why I ask questions like this: http://physics.stackexchange.c...

Everything that I know about orbital dynamics, I learned from KSP. Thank you!

I know that he means the on-board electronics in the battery, including the temp sensors and such. I'm of the opinion that all software is exploitable, even int main(){ printf("Hello, world") } has a clever exploit when compiled on a common consumer non-posix platform. If someone wants to hack that battery, there is a way that just needs to be found.

I see that you don't work in software.

How did the US retaliate when Al Qaeda attacked them? How many Afghans were killed in that campaign, and how long did it last?

How did the US retaliate when Iraq attacked them? How many Iraqis were killed in that campaign, and how long did it last? For that matter, exactly _when_ did Iraq attack the US?

Much though I enjoy the multi-hundred-comment threads where we all scream at each other about politics, why is this here?

How is this 'news for nerds'? I mean, even the summary has given up on trying to even mention technology/nerdy stuff.

I bought both Swype and Swiftkey for my Note 3 (huge screen). In both English and Hebrew Swiftkey was both easier to start using and consistently gives better results. I even tried using Swype exclusively for a few weeks to see if I could train Swype / train myself to get it to work as well as Swiftkey, but that never happened.

Thanks. I did notice that a deleted CA returned on restart, but I didn't notice that it still had all of its trust disabled.

That is absolutely terrific, thank you! To those who will come after: it seems that the $5 / inch^2 price includes shipping too.

Thanks. I've tried that in Firefox, but there is no way to disable a cert and then reenable it: the option is called Disable/Delete and it does the latter: Delete. There does not seem to be a way to disable certs until they are needed. What region are you in, and which certs do you have enabled. I would like to know just as a starting point. Thank you!

It's spelled googol, if you're talking about the number, and I don't see what that has to do with providing information about companies that provide PCB fab services.

From where? Links, please!

Thank you, that does explain a lot. We're a Linux shop as well, but our two graphics designers are both using the Adobe Suite on Windows.

That is a bit reassuring. Still, one would expect that of all places, the Linux Foundation would be on a KDE desktop using LibreOffice.
