Sad that Galileo's antenna didn't open. Headed towards Jupiter it was in a position to film the comet pieces as they hit

Now that would of been very cool to of seen.

Think we've been seeing this from Russian dash cams. But those who gave us the numbers also claim Jupiter's gravity
protects Earth to a great extent.

Nope not alone; I use Google as my primary search engine, Gmail as my e-mail provider, Google Maps and Google Earth.

Hotmail used to be my web based e-mailer yet I can't access it for some reason. My HotMail account is active and I
still use it, as I had forwarded my Hotmail to Gmail. Hotmail charged for POP'ing my e-mail, Gmail lets me do it for free,
so I never have to open a browser.

Checking to see if anything had changed I tried hotmail again, and got in, first time in years!
This reply has actually been a very beneficial for me, now to weed out the junk that's collected.

I thought no way, I had to see for myself. The zipped file crescent-1bir-src.zip is 8K, the three file files
the zip contains add up to 25K so 1/3 it's original size. Your thinking of graphics files.

If a file is already compressed (ie: graphics, zip) they can't get any smaller, another compression program
will only increase it's size. Source code is text only and very compressible; all of your modem compression
schemes to increase speeds are based on text only.

The JSTOR files Aaron Swartz uploaded were 36 Gigs, uncompressed it was huge > 100 gig, as they were mostly in the text format.

There are graphic formats that aren't compressed like .BMP files that will zip down to almost half it's size.
You find graphics compressed with zip, arc, zoo what have you are to create a single file (while increasing it's size).
To use a compression scheme on the hard drive you store your pr0n collection on, now that is counterproductive.

"How to spot a murderer's brain"

Yep, just scan everybody's brain, then jail those who fit the pattern, or are the carrier of one particular set of genes.

Crime prevention at it's best.

There was an article on /. "Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions?",
I bookmarked the link as it's such a good read, the experiences of those with, had, or knew others with Schizophrenia.

"Wow, who would have thought I'd see this on slashdot? It makes little sense to post this question here, but yet, it was posted. And I am reading it. Which is ... interesting, since my brother too was diagnosed with schizophrenia, a little over two years ago now. This thread shouts out to me to say something about it, but I find now that it is harder than it seems...." then continues a story of his twin brother.

I can't paste all the post yet few venture to another link, I can say you will have a different outlook on Schizophrenia.

One of the threads does address the DSM so on topic :}

Yep I've read /. from it's first days yet didn't register until just recently.
Never felt knowledgeable enough to post, still don't just said the heck with it :}

I've seen a phone "hacked". Person was in the hospital and concern for some reason that their phone
was password protected; his brother opened it with 2480 - quite proud of themselves as well :}

2480 the universal password :} A pattern pass with 10 attempts is a good scheme, if you don't start at the top left.

Who you replied to is correct the article is of the pass code
FTA : Quote "the Apple legal specialist, told him that "once the Apple analyst bypasses the passcode,
the data will be downloaded onto a USB external drive" /Quote

I have a Google tablet (Motorola_XOOM_MZ604) the only way to bypass the password is to reset the unit.
Now one may do this then run forensics on the SSD, but that to is a lot of work (money).

The Google Tablet is the only password I've bypassed (by resettng) for a friend
I would hope the rest are the same or it's not a password. As for back doors
that's why rooted devices are the best, install a different ROM for better features as well as security.
Yet I've never trusted a super user program that wants money for full features and most ROMs do come with one.

Came to post, I've nothing more definitive to add.

As for Battlefront's Star wars even the player comments say what the OP does.

"For the love of GOD!! Put this on Dice's Frostbite 3 engine and its gaming orgasm!
Hoth on FB3 would be mind blowing! 64 players, walkers and speeders......passes out....."

"Now that EA has the reigns.....I'm sorry if the idea of the BATTLEFIELD 4 (or even 3)
Frostbite Engine coupled with STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT doesn't make you drool....
You are truly dead inside as a gamer."

As sheep we buy what's given us and don't complain about what's taken away;
making our own maps, mods, or even having control over our own servers.

Blackmonkeys.de made a Star War mod for Call of Duty 4 and it's a lot of fun.

You just can't do that anymore.

Yep, same here.

"How could an otherwise model student be expelled and charged with a felony over an experiment that didn't hurt anyone?"

Cause times have changed.

At class change leaving an 8th grade science course I had some potassium permanganate in a baby food jar, a friend
poured in Glycerin, and I slid it down a hall full of people. It burst into a small sun (was cool), then broke the glass made a mess
on the floor and of course a few girls screamed.

I was called into the office a bit later, a fire chief was there who reminded me the meaning of Arson and I was sent back
to class. Not another word was said about it, and I'm not sure I even told my parents about it.

Found a poor example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_4j36cUcEw should of just poured the glycerin in.
Go figure, the first suggested video at right is: HCL + Aluminum foil = Fun

When I saw the first browser online, I can't remember it's name but the description
mentioned seeing a pictures from a distant location. I just assumed it was a new
terminal program and didn't need to save the few seconds viewing downloaded pix.
The fact there were only one or two places it worked on; a struggling terminal program.

Needless to say I passed on it, running my first browser a year later on Win95.
