Of course it can, sir. It's like a second language to it.

Actually, for years they had Muhammad in the opening of the show. Low res, I know, but he's to the right of Kenny and the sign near the alien.
Sorry, you distributed content, we can throw it in the trash if we like
All he would need to do is cover his house with chicken wire, paint and stucco
That's crazy talk. A building covered in chicken wire, stucco, and paint would never fit in with the rest of the houses in Santa Fe.
My guess is it's more about the weight. carbon nanotubes are about 1/7th the density.
I've often wondered why when you are setting up your user account on a box, and it gets to the part with setting up email, it didn't give you a chance to generate or import public/private keys right there and them upload the public to a server. Particularly on linux boxes, this seems like a completely feasible option.
One might also envision having a secret key storage mechanism, either by local external media or via remote storage where it could go look.
go read the abstract. I understood that and was thinking the same thing. also along with an obligatory holy shit that's awesome.
I can agree with this logic. I do wonder when they will start charging a "feed your extra power back into the grid" fee will begin and any number of other fees that might arise out of this.
I have seen a lot of places that insist on buying a "solution" to the problem, when in fact the solution barely touches the problem. it works around a lot of things, but never really hits right on it. So you've spent a lot of money on something that doesn't really do the job of a person in that role.
The funny part about security is that for all it's sex appeal, real security is actually pretty boring. Oh the hotness of configuration management using tools that are already available on the windows or linux box. How your endorphins get moving at the sight of a patched on patch day. Or the sheer porn of being able to look at your log files and know that all is good.
We all love honeypots and whatnot, but those things need to come well after patching, configuration management, removing/pruning user administrative permissions, and controlling which software you allow, and strong authentication enforcement. This doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
from TFA:
Cars emitted more than any other form of transport with the notable exception of off-peak buses, which often carry few passengers. Passengers on the Boston light rail, an electric commuter train, were found to emit as much or marginally more than those on mid-size and large aircraft. This is because 82 per cent of electricity in Massachusetts is generated by burning fossil fuels.
So, if you are burning lots of fossil fuels to run your light rail, then yes, it is like a coal fired plane
TFA also talks about building trains into major population centers to eliminate the need for infrastructure for cars to _get_ to the train. It also talks about how trains have a different power problem than air/car/bus, and one that, honestly, I think we're a lot closer to solving.
Always felt like I was more alive in a daydream then I was doing grunt work.
I like my mind active or I grow bored. i'm sure much of slashdot is like this. Found that I daydreamed a lot and had a hard time focusing on grunt work
