All new machines will also ship with secure boot turned on making it much more difficult to replace the stupid metro-Windows beast.

Re: A bad bill

Excuse me but Obama is the one wanting to kill this thing the Republicans seem to love this sort of thing though they always shout about freedom. It also seems to me that the last president was the one that was shredding the Constitution every time you turned around.

Re: still quite impressive

Still at or very close to light speed. But since it is said that the little fellows have mass why do they not have a huge energy/mass???

Use the energy to produce the bubble

Start small cycle the bubble on and off use the energy to create a larger bubble etc untill you enclose the ship. There problem solved.

SUSE Linux moves to 3.0 kernel with SP2

BTRFS

Hmmm BTRFS is available in OprnSUSE 12.1 but it seems to be very shaky. Lots of problems reported and no fsck utilities for it. Default FS in OpenSUSE is ext4, which is rock stable. Go figure.

Re: Algorithmic pricing

Sure makes sense, after all more demand means the fewer things will be available thus worth more. EXCEPT that does not apply to DIGITAL things. Its all bits people

If it is in the kernel then the source must e made available under the GPL.

I suspect that it is a true rootkit ie it simply change some tables to direct all input to the app ie not compiled into the kernel.

Under the GPL any changes to the code must be made available to all for at the most cost of reproducing and transmitting the code.

Yahoo! may! never! see! a! penny! of! $610m! anti-spam! win!

Since the defendants were and are not in country and I assume, since it was not said that they employed local counsel .If these guys could afford lawyers for 4 years where did those assists come from. If not why did it take 4 years????

Incorrect equation

Not

1/sqrt(c*c - v*v)

1/sqrt(1-v*v/c*c)

and yes it does go lopsided for v>c

The main logic Einstein used to start is if you go as fast as light you would see a static electric field without a charge.

James Loughner
Happy

Why?

Relativity only says you can not travail or accelerate to the speed of light. If something start out faster then light it will take infinite energy to make it slower then light. Also it takes less and less energy to make it go faster yet.

Thank god that we here in the US of A have a rational method of electing our overseers. We have the freedom to allow all our Corporate entities unlimited expenditure to effect our elections.

Microsoft loses appeal on Word injunction

James Loughner

Repy: Another case of patent-holding morons...

In this case the company in question had developed and was selling the tech. But MS wanted it so they could get some Government contracts. And just stole it. Though I agree with you that there are far too many patent trolls, in this case though i4i is not one. I also think the whole idea of software patents is dumb and should be abolished. But while we have them the companies need to play by the rules.

Police smoke out 300-pound frozen turkey thief

James Loughner
Pint

Re:How in hell

The turkeys come frozen from the store. Though only a small 13 pounder (yes they come bigger) would fit most refrigerator freezers if some what empty. It is typically that a turkey is placed in the refrigerator section to thaw for sever days. It takes time for a bird of that size to thaw.

As I understand it it will be open sourced and all the APIs will be doc'd. You will also be able to set up your own private servers. This info came from the original unveiling in May.

At first look Wave appears to be THE killer web 2.0 app. If MS is not on the bad wagon so be it. There are plenty of other browsers that will work just fine.

Bug exposes eight years of Linux kernel

James Loughner
WTF?

Sounds scary

"leaving the OS open to local privilege escalation that can completely compromise the underlying machine."

Does this not mean you must have physical access??

Can this be done remotely???

Needs to be fixed for sure but there is no need to panic. With physical access any machine can be owned.

Xwindows??

This sounds like Xwindow. Is the web just reinventing things because the developers don't know Unix??? Just add an xServer on each client and bing bang you have an app that runs on the server and appears on the client. Is this what they are trying to do??
