At least one of those photos is a fake. Well, not fake, but not the Hynix plant burning. The best photo is actually a picture of Beijing's CCTV headquarters burning in 2009. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-02/09/content_10790640.htm

I can produce a PNG with my brain. I do it all the time. I can even create perfect pixel to pixel accuracy. I need some graph paper or computer program to record this PNG that I produce, however.

US Air Force To Suffer From PS3 Update 349

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday May 13, 2010 @06:45AM from the sounds-like-an-act-of-terrorism-to-me dept.

tlhIngan writes "The US Air Force, having purchased PS3s for supercomputing research, is now the latest victim of Sony's removal of the Install Other OS feature. It turns out that while their PS3s don't need the firmware update, it will be impossible to replace PS3s that fail. PS3s with the Other OS feature are no longer produced since the Slim was introduced, so replacements will have to come from the existing stock of used PS3s. However, as most gamers have probably updated their PS3s, that used stock is no longer suitable for the USAF's research. In addition, smaller educational clusters using PS3s will share the same fate — unable to replace machines that die in their clusters." In related news, Sony has been hit with two more lawsuits over this issue.

There's so much confusion about global warming now I feel like just telling people to shut up for 10 years until they get their stories straight. And maybe pick a different name. I just read an article that global warming isn't really a good description of what's going to be going on. Supposedly. Now, some air pollution causes global warming but also air pollution prevents global warming, so what? huh?

What's all this crap about storing passwords on USB keychains and TryeCrype volumes and whatever else you kids are using these days? I store my passwords in my BRAIN, right next to the phone numbers and addresses. Its unhackable and the blood-brain barrier is very virus-resistant.

It's a videogame about videogames; and I'm in the videogame. I'm a boss that you have to fight at the end of the game. It was really fun recording a million ways of dying, going 'UGGH, ARGGH, EUURGH!'""

Journal Journal: Strange Unregistered Domains

Journal by gbulmash on Monday February 26, 2007 @10:05PM

Every once in a while, I go hunting for odd domains that are still available. For example, if you believe that junk e-mail is caused by the spirits of dead aliens, you might want to register spamintology.com. It's available (or was when I wrote this) and it's one of 25 I found while wasting some time today.

Apple's iTunes DRM Dilemma 282

Posted by kdawson on Monday February 26, 2007 @09:47PM from the how-FairPlay-works dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Understanding how Apple's FairPlay DRM works helps to answer a lot of questions: why it hasn't been replaced with an open, interoperable DRM that anyone can use, why Apple isn't broadly licensing FairPlay, and why the company hasn't jumped to add DRM-free content from indie artists to iTunes."

Journal Journal: My Realization That I Am a WoW Care Bear 9

Journal by WillAffleckUW on Monday February 26, 2007 @09:26PM

Well, my 15 yo son finally convinced me to let him get World of Warcraft (not the new version), on the proviso that he pays for half of the monthly (six-month discounted) charge for it. Since we both had used Diablo II and liked it, and he had paid out of pocket for his two-week free trial.

Anyway, long story short, I'm reading thru the manual (yeah, I do that, also got an Atlas) and I realize, suddenly, after having played for a few weeks, that I am a Care Bear.
