The good thing about LINUX is that a sufficiently motivated person CAN make a change to the OS to correct a security risk, on their own. But the concept of an OS as a monolithic block is wrong: there are multiple programs, multiple modules, all likely written by different entities, often not even f...

The OS you guys are talking about is QNX RTOS Neutrino http://www.qnx.com/products/neutrino-rtos/neutrino-rtos.html Typically OS's run something known as a monolithic kernel, that is a single large kernel that handles all I/O and processing requests. The users software runs in user space with permis...

Don't give me right / left rhetoric. I happen to work in a country with "universal healthcare" and it's no where near what you zealots made it out to be. I'm an American working inside South Korea and while my company pays for full coverage, I find it cheaper and easier to just pay full price on the...

You speak purely from a "western" point of view. Look around and notice most countries don't have a democratic way to remove their leaders. That and if you think I was refering to elected officials when I spoke about the top then you need to look around. The "empires" are not physical countries, the...

Only problem I foresee with being essentially ageless is that the people on top will stay on top and there will be a much greater class divide, especially if access to the agelessness is controllable. Human's are flawed and inherently selfish, we tend to always seek what's best for ourselves and tho...

I'd suggest you research the M1A2 SEP (most current model). It use's a DU mesh layered armor on the front and sides along with the typical high density ceramic of other tanks. The main cannon is a 120mm riffle capable of firing HEAT, SABOT and the newer shotgun rounds. The SABOT's utilize a DU penet...

So back to your expertise area, what do you think of Chobham Armour and Composition K variants? I do not know what Composition K is. Know what is Composition B. But that is high explosive. About Chobham I know also from the web. As I know that is multilayer armor with ceramic and plastics insertion...

*Munch's popcorn* These discussions are always fun to watch. Depending entirely which adjectives you chose to use, mixed with which facts you decide to accept, one can paint either party as demonically evil or as saintly angels. Both sides will go at it, lambasting the other side, twisting words an...

You have already done your own analysis with your own facts and your own assumptions that fit your own conclusion. I think anything I say will be just a waist of time. Not at all! I have done an analysis which, prima facie, suggests nothing unusual is going on beyond the conventional. It is not my ...

Seeing how the current greenies are going after any and all viable long term power sources, If I was working on something I'd be sure to keep it under wraps if it even had a remote chance of working out. Do not estimate the power that greenies wield, they'll find a reason, something anything to shut...

What got me cautious of the whole AGW thing was this near fanatical demand that we must adhere to whatever they say. Anyone who questioned the pro-AGW crown was ostracized and silenced. Questions should always been encouraged, any argument should stand on the evidence presented. Anytime questions ar...

What a joke. Can't even read others replies but selectively. I'm pretty sure it says black on white that there should be more comprehensive legalization of drugs. With my name next to that post. Like alcohol is prohibited now. Misses the point either way. Humans will become drug addicted if subject...

Liquid hydrocarbons will always have a place ~somewhere~. We might not be using them for transportation, but they'll be useful somehow. Its nice to know we can create them fairly easily. Its an interesting bit of tech to file away somewhere for future (near or distant) use. Now weren't we discussing...

I have basic cable for my GF to watch her Korean dramas but I've ceased watching mainstream television a long time ago. By suggest is to register with Hulu / Hulu Plus and stream what they have. Netflicks also provides a very good movie service over the Internet. What specifically are you after for ...
