USPS... the other way around is actually terrible.

I sometimes ship from Germany to US by DHL. They deliver it to USPS. The packages are transported within 2-3 days to the US. After that happens, the tracking won't update it's status anymore and nobody knows where the package is. It usually takes them between 7-30 days to deliver a package.

UPS and Fedex are much faster.

Better drivers? I don't know. However I'd call me a faster reacting driver. Due to FPS games my reaction time decreased significantly over the time.

Oh yeah yeah right.

I remember trying to install my nvidia graphics driver. "Your kernel is not supported. Please install the generic kernel"

Hm, the 64-bit version works much better and mostly stable for me while the 32-bit + ndiswrapper crashes on firefox every few flash sites.

It's a pity. 32-bit is not an option anymore. On all my workstations I need 4-8 GB memory and a 64 bit system is your obvious choice.

The current options for me is is either to live with having 25+ code execution vulnerabilities, get the crashing 32 bit version or delete it completely. I don't like any of the options.. Thank you Adobe.

Full-body scanners from the airport?

I'm a pirate in Germany and I've heard this here too a lot. With now almost 12k members the number of issues addressed increases quickly now.

I don't think the UK pirate party does have a lot of members yet. That means they probably don't have competence in other areas so they don't serve you something that they can't to right.

If you want to do something, you can join the party and create those issues you want to have addressed.

At least for Germany I can say - I don't trust any other party anymore because they are all buyable. I don't believe that's completely different in the UK.

Ghostbusters III was actually announced already! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289401/

My linux systems get a lot of attacks every day. SSH, FTP and HTTP attacks are the most common.

On HTTP attacks most ones try to get a page /phpmyadmin or some other (most of the time php-) application which seem to have severe security issues. There are many insecure web applications out there that are not patched or pretty much broken by design.

I bet the security hole you're exploiting is already used in the wild. If that's so, who cares if another kid takes your code and turns it into real malware?
I personally believe it's more benefit to release your code as "penetration test" and help some admins to check their servers of potential security holes than to do nothing in fear of a few kids.

What they are trying to do is very clever. The main target audience are large householders which have old, gas powered heaters. The replacement cost is relatively low.

The problem which the power suppliers see in the future: A rising amount of electricity is generated by wind and solar power. Some of Germany's nuclear power plants are getting old and may not get an approval to run further / or to build a new one in the future.

So, with rising amount of "natural" energy, there must be a solution to compensate if those solar/wind power plants are not generating power. Having lots of those small remote-controlled power plants on the network can easily and quickly compensate this.

Anyone got a mirror? In Germany I get

"This video is not available in your Country due to copyright restrictions"

So, do we get an arrow pointing to the nearest enemy?

I really wonder how much casual gamer friendly they'll make it this time. Anyway I'm not going to buy this game because as a fan of the System Shock series I expected a bit more of Bio"shock".

A broken one which is stuck in the pressed state would be fine also.
