How can this be more efficient negotiating with many countries rather then negotiating an exemption here or there?

Although the flaws are only of moderate and low severity, 'system administrators should plan to upgrade their running OpenSSL server instances in the coming days,' said Tod Beardsley, engineering manager at vulnerability intelligence firm Rapid7.

I agree. All the chips in the FX TDP arena are 95-125W. I'm thinking it'll be more, but not almost double. More in the 140-165W range. AMD is going for the 5 GHz media sensation buzz, not power buzz.

Most of the people listening to mp3s (that I know, self included) don't listen to the music on a nice system. Earbuds rarely provide definition or range of the actual recorded material. Yes, they may provide frequencies from 50-15,000 Hz, but you're not really feeling the bass line as recorded. Even if listening to a CD/DVD with 5.1, with the earbuds on, it may as well be a mp3.

When I go a big box or electronic store, I see a dozen Windows machines. Maybe a Macbook or iMac here and there. I've never seen a Linux box on display, never mind the distro. I have Fedora at home, but stuck with XP at work. I see iPhone/iPads/Macbooks all over, so those must be popular too. I just don't see many linux distros out there, unless everyone has an environment which mimics Windows!
Yes, I can tell people how cool it is, but if they don't see it at stores or at work, I'm just a lone computer geek!

Journal Journal: Hurting whales more important than national security
In the newest slap to the face of the environmentalists, the US Navy has decided to not release where sonar has been used through out the world over the past four years. Why is this an issue? Because the National Resources Defense Council has come to the idea of suing the US Navy to "ensure sailors use sonar in a way that does not harm whales and other marine mammals." The claim is that s
