haven't you already post this exact list before?

Too bad Geocities is gone for good.

They address that in the article - when you do the math, the likelyhood of having a hash collision in SHA256, given a zetabyte filesystem with 128KB blocks is still orders of magnitude less likely than the known rate of data loss due to block level hardware failure.

Well, Im sure it's better than I used to get playing Quake over a 56k modem.

Ah, thanks for straightening that out for me. Much appreciated! Regards

I am sorry, but what does - in this context - "9.*.* maxversion" mean?

Sarko is not a neocon. You need to go back on your meds.

As someone who moves around a lot, it would've taken me two months. I have a 3 Gb/month data cap.

Dude, you totally don't understand beer commercials. They aren't trying to make YOU feel sexy, they are convincing you that it will cause you to be surrounded by sexy girls. That of course, will be the case if you drink enough beers.

At least, that is what happened to me twice back in the college days. The old "2 at 10", "10 at 2" drunken mistake.

Seriously though, I don't think people really need any encouragement to drink beer other than the fact that it gets you drunk!

The Iraq-Iran war was over 20 years ago. They could have rebuilt their refining capabilities by now had they chosen to do so.

Not that easy when the worlds industrialised nations have an embargo against you. Iran has to buy almost all its computer technology off the black market seeing as Intel and AMD aren't permitted to sell to Iran. Add to this the difficulty of getting in skilled Oil and Gas engineers, given the O&G engineering field is centred around Houston (US), Glasgow (Scotland) and Perth (Australia) all of these nations flatly refuse to do business with Iran.

It's not just a matter of choosing to do so, Iran would have chosen to do so by now to comply with their doctrine of no critical imports but it's not easy to build a refinery under ideal circumstances, it's nigh impossible to do it when you cant get the parts or the brains you need for the job.

Amazing that OP thinks electing Bush every 4 years is OK.

He should be introduced to "a man" and they should be asked to "get it on." At worst, hooking up with trannies is a neutral thing.

*That'll* teach him to ask a physics question! The nerve of some people...

More and more games are using newer DRM (e.g. newer versions of Securom) that lock the game to your hardware instead of requiring the CD (e.g. Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 has such DRM).

The benefit to the publisher with this is that they can produce one version of the game for both digital sale and retail stores and from there only one set of patches.

It creates positions, "job" implies doing structural investment-returning activities. I absolutely wouldn't mind doing unpaid overtime for a GOOD manager, but I'd despise it for a bad one.
