Compared to the temperature changes that the wafers go through when processing (>800C for annealing, lower temperatures when we start putting more materials on the silicon's surface), the silicon itself will likely be fine from the temperature shifts. It will be more brittle, but the amount of wafer in a semiconductor is so small it likely won't crack. We have to worry a little bit about the plastic expanding differently than the wafer, but the wafers are so teeny it likely won't be an issue. Electronics usually work better when they get colder, just look at the people who overclock with liquid nitrogen, although the silicon inside is still providing a heat source, preventing the silicon from getting to 77K. Back to the answer though, I don't know for sure.

A little bit of googling brought me here http://www.electronics-cooling.com/2004/02/the-temperature-r... where they said 'hot electrons' are a cause of degradation. When electronics are running under normal conditions, there's lots of bumping into each other. The kinetic energy of the electrons never gets too high, as any electrons that gain energy will 'collide' with another electron, transferring some of the energy. When it gets sufficiently cold though, the electrons are not moving around as much. There's less chance of a collision, and more chance they electrons will gain enough energy to quantum mechanically tunnel into the insulator. This is bad, as we now have charges that are stored in our gate and they cannot be removed. Interestingly, this is the same principle that allows us to build flash memory. There is a 'floating gate' that stores charge for an extended period of time (hopefully indefinitely if you don't want to lose your data). By applying a large voltage to the gate, we can charge or uncharge the gate, allowing us to write 1's and 0's.

But that's just my theory, I couldn't find a clear answer in my bit of googling.

The business reason would likely be that they can rate it in that range that most people are perfectly acceptable with, they don't have to test it outside those ranges, and they can make more money off of the parts that they sell outside of that range as there is less demand for them.

For CSS demos, I suggest using http://dabblet.com which will automatically add vendor-prefixes. In this case it might not have helped due to the appearance property (which was dropped from the CSS spec [1]), but often only webkit prefixes are used even if properties are supported in other browsers.

However, I don't use any portable mp3 players any more and still use CDs when I actually want more than background music.

This is definitely subjective.

I recently replayed Doom 2 with a couple of friends, and for us this is definitely a legendary game. I have lots of fond memories of Doom 1 as well. While I also spent a lot of time with Duke Nukem 3D, I never found it as enjoyable as Doom. I'd put Doom in the list before Quake.

Wolfenstein 3D should also be there.

Luckily for me, you are the one making the sweeping statement, so I only have to provide a counter-example: I remember Doom and Wolfenstein for the enjoyment they gave me. You are too quick to dismiss them :)

(And just as a matter of factual correction; Doom 1 and 2 both supported four players over IPX)
plus RTL inside LTR and LTR inside RTL. Have a look at Wikipedia's pages of Arabic dishes for good examples.
People can upload photos of you without your consent to hundreds of photo sharing services. If you really have a problem with it, don't let people take pictures of you in the first place.

On Facebook you can turn on tag review which means you have to approve tags before they are published. The photo still gets published, just without you tagged (until you approve it).
Well, few do then.

To be honest, iTunes a kind of bloated, it is a memory hog and it could be easier to use. But they have the store and the connection with the i-devices and are shipped with the macintoshes, and I believe that is their greatest feature.

Agreed, but the rocks should serve as a good enough reference. The effect on that moon shot would require rock sizes to increase almost linearly with distance - rocks are a foot wide near the camera but half-meter wide afar - which is extremely odd.

(of course I believe that to be an artifact of image stitching and perspective corrections, what I meant is that it's easy to misinterpret these oddities)
You're right, what we need is weaponry. Lots of it. To solve problems.
Gladwell was arguing that it takes 10,000 hours to go from a knowing nothing to becoming a master at any craft. At 8 hours a day, every single day, is ~3.5 years.

For programmers, most of the initial chunk of that time is through hobby programming or through formal training at a college or the like. That's 3000 hours that the company didn't pay for. That's probably the experience most programmers walk in to any company as a Jr Developer, and they are paid accordingly. Nobody is being offered $150k/yr with that level of experience. Maybe $30-$40 depending on where they are working, and then are promoted and given raises above that.

Chrome and misleading security information
If you use a self-signed certificate to secure a website, Google Chrome's reaction is somewhat dramatic and I would say inaccurate and misleading. Below is a screenshot (sorry, you'll have to accept the certificate to view it!):

https://puntoshare.com/resource/BvihzPSc

The Google Chrome url bar with the "https" and "padlock" icons crossed out with a bold red line would suggest to the user that the page is not encrypted, does not use HTTPS and is 'not safe'.

Of course, this is not true and the Chrome 'site information' text clearly states that the site is secured with 256-bit encryption (and displays a reassuring green padlock icon). However, I am sure very few users actually view the 'site information' text.

I agree that the certificate does not verify the identity of the site, but this is a separate issue, right? I just want to ensure the user that information passed to/from the server is encrypted.

We visit unsecured websites all the time and we have no idea how safe they are or who owns them and browsers give us absolutely no warnings, so I am a bit disappointed that when I do attempt to increase security for the end-user the browser works against me, implying the site is unsafe.

Can't Google bypass the CA's and implement their own site authentication mechanism (for free)?
No, this is stretched 700% without affecting the pitch: http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/
Not very usable. If you really need to support Unicode on your website, you need to make sure that proper characters are shown. It does generate filler text, but would you know that character set and HTML code page are setup correctly if you don't know which glyphs have to be shown to the user? To give an example, this tool might generate character č, but if wrong code page is used (say ISO_8859-1 instead of UTF-8), you would see something like ł or ć in the browser. And you wouldn't even notice the difference. In some languages, such subtle change in one character can turn text into swearing or just gibberish.

I'd rather see a website with fixed text that shows some often used Unicode characters, The one you can validate (i.e. shows exactly the same on your website). Adding a JPG or PNG picture of what it should look like would be a plus. By "often used" I mean: Latin with accents, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, ... etc. I'm sure a nice "Bacon Ipsum" with one paragraph from each of these would be quite usable. Although, some are written right-to-left, so maybe two different sets would be better: one for RTL and other for LTR languages.
A Home Office spokesman said: "We have effective, fair and balanced extradition arrangements with the US [...] People who have committed serious offences such as murder, rape, other sex crimes and fraud [...]

ENEMA v 1.71 - SQLi and Web Attack Framework

Disclaimer: My mother tongue is Tamil(one of those dravidian language).
Two points turned me off/ stopped me from reading the article.
1. He mentions that "it is believed now that Dravidians could have come from pakistan/afghanistan.
This was a surprise news to me and after reading through that Brahui(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahui_people#Origins) wikipedia article, i realized it is one of the 3 leading theories.

2. Direct Quote "A language was created by the great grammarian Panini, namely Classical Sanskrit, which enabled scientific ideas to be expressed with great precision, logic and elegance. Science requires precision. "

This is when i stopped reading. Not because i disagree with sanskrit having provided precision so many years ago(i have no clue). But whatever sparse sanskrit i picked up living in Allahabad, India is very imprecise for modern science.
Chasing the dragon
What makes Chrome special here? AFAIK, every browser (FF, IE, Opera, you name it) treats HTTPS with problems as "extremely scary, alert the President" (which is, IMNSHO, absolutely correct behavior - "this site says it's HTTPS://whatever, but I'm unable to verify this, so let's crash and burn - it might just as well be https://evilsite.evil, for all I know"), whereas unsecured, plain HTTP is seen as "meh, whatever."

Moreover, "why can't Google fix the Internet?" is, essentially, saying "do away with the other CAs, and make Google the ultimate CA" - doesn't fix the problem, plus makes it worse.

(FWIW, there are cheap SSL certs out there which are signed by known CAs and thus don't trigger the security error.)
Now that brings back memories!
Without verifying the identity of the site somehow, you are vulnerable to a mitm attack. So no, it's not a separate issue.

What is your proposed site authentication mechanism that Chrome should use (and does it scale to Firefox, Safari, etc)?
I was wrong, they changed the EULA in the meantime.

Here are the conditions I could find (you still have to comply with those conditions, but it's doable): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973265.aspx

And they can stop you through the EULA .NET gets distributed under, because no other license gives you the right to use .NET, so you have to do it under the terms of that license.
> (By contrast, Latin and Ancient Greek aren't things anyone argues about in Europe today.)

Not that true. There is a growing political problem with the use of English in EU, also at the technical level (XML element names, for examples). At the same time, using any of the other national languages is a no-go. One of the proposed solutions is to use Latin for technical details and leave national languages for the documentation and other user-facing documents.

An example of Latin-as-neutral-language is LexDania, an old Danish XML format for laws; in LexDania you have _arca_, not container, _linea_, not paragraph.
I think I would be more relaxed if browsers used an additional icon to indicate if a site identity is verified or not.

And just because somebody has paid for a site certificate and gets a nice green padlock icon on the URL bar does not mean they wont misuse peoples personal information, does it?
"My favorite feature (which I still miss sometimes) was you could bring up a box and start typing a song name and jump straight to playing it. I think it was the J key."

Still exists. Don't know if it went away at some point between v2 and now, but it's definitely in the version I'm using (5.623).

I use Winamp every day, and while I too didn't like v3, I tried pretty much everything under the sun but kept coming back to Winamp. Recent versions are pretty good, while I seem to remember v2 as being better, when I think of it, it actually wasn't. For example the library feature didn't exist back then, and that's my main way of using it nowadays.
Cross-promotion should be banned. I hate wanting to read an app's description and being shoved quotes, update logs, developer comments, cross-promotion and other crap.
yes, I picked on Chrome just because that's what I was using at the time, I am aware the problem probably exists on most browsers.
The red warning page you have to click through also seems irresponsible to use in cases like this.

It's the same page you get when there's malware on a site.

Note that I'm not against us going to the moon. The fact is we've done it. So now if we're going to do it again, all I ask is for an actual reason to do so.

If it turned out that fire had no actual useful applications and was just horrifically dangerous, we would perhaps have experimented with it briefly and then forgot about it. We wouldn't still be habitually setting everything around us on fire, just because. It turned out that fire did have many useful practical applications though.
I listened to it again, you're right. Sounds like a horror movie theme, maybe that's what gives the creeps. Although I have to agree with many others in this thread: it isn't that creepy, I heard much better ones.
They were diverted to solve some problems faced by some humans. Problems that would not have been solved otherwise.
With respect, you're over simplifying it. Achieving and maintaining good proportions (the usual goal of those starting out) is going to take more than Olympic lifts + pullups. Similarly 3x8 on one muscle group once a week isn't a catch all; it's my opinion that a work out should tailor to your ability and goals.

That's before we even get into diet. Planning exercise without diet (or vice versa) is a recipe for no progress.

I'm building a commercial product, so .org isn't a good fit here. And .net to my understanding has been greatly abused and doesn't relate to anything specific at all. It might be not that bad for a hobby but in my case the product targets enterprise users.
This is shocking and as a UK citizen angers me greatly, however I have to say this guy doesn't seem too smart.

Firstly, building a website (presumably with the domain registered under his name) like this in the current legal climate is basically asking for trouble. Especially hosting it in Sweden (where the TBP was).

Secondly , in the interview he asked the Police if he should get a solicitor, and decided not to get one because he might have to wait a couple of hours? WTF?

If you are arrested by the police and possibly being charged with an imprison-able offence (or really any offence) of course you should get a solicitor , why would this even be a question?
I actually wrote an article about WinAMP and where it's failing a little while back: http://s00techified.wordpress.com/2011/07/05/soo-what-happen...

WinAMP like so many projects ultimately needs a steroid shot. It was never supposed to be an iTunes. But it was supposed to be the go-to player for Windows Users. It's a shame it's just stifled. AOL should open source it.
When I wrote to my MP (who simply forwarded the letter on to the Home Office), I got the same response.
good point. ok, I should probably think carefully before inventing a security standard 'on the fly'!

I guess I was thinking along the lines that I could add my site to a Google service (just like Analytics) and when people accessed my site (https), Chrome could talk directly to Google and confirm the site authenticity, same way CA's work I guess, but run as a free service.

But as noted in another comment, anything vendor specific would probably be a bad thing for the web.
As I stated in my reply, that's not a bug, that's a feature; sorry to hear it's inconveniencing you, but there is currently no other way to distinguish between https://yourbank.example.com/ and a MITM by https://phishingsite.evil/

Replacing a CA-based chain of trust with a Google-based chain of trust makes no difference IMNSHO (except that Google would essentially own and 0wn the Internet; not a pleasant side-effect).
If you'd written the python version and had profiles showing it was too slow, I'd believe you.

After awhile I found that it didn't always connected and I would have trouble getting news items or comments. So I switched back to the first app and have been pretty happy with that ever since. I have never used it to post comments but I use it all the time to view comments and it works very well for that.

Did you read the warning? It pretty much answers your question:

"This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Google Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications."

I just want to ensure the user that information passed to/from the server is encrypted.

Self-signed certificate doesn't guarantee the encrypted communication to/from your server. An attacker can intercept your handshake request and provide their own self-signed certificate.

You can create your own CA, sign a server certificate with it, and then ask users to install your CA certificate into their browsers.

Or you can get a free certificate from StartSSL.

Alternatively, you can contribute to some replacement for TLS.
> Nobody really likes iTunes as a player, it's only notable because of the store and the device lock-in.

I've never bought music from the iTunes Store and, although I have an iPhone, rarely sync it with iTunes.

I use iTunes because it has far and away the nicest interface of any music player on OS X. It also handles larger music collections effortlessly.

These days I don't really care if it's using (at this point in time) ~200MB RAM.
And why exactly would Google (or anyone else) provide this service for free? (Well, except for the ability to do various nasty MITM stuff; but they have that "do no evil" motto - seems legit)

I'm completely guessing here, but isn't there some sort of law or regulation that the police are required to give you truthful information regarding your right to legal representation?

As such, and while this wouldn't take away from the stupidity of not getting a solicitor involved, maybe he asked the question not because he wanted an answer, but because he thought there was a chance the policeman might say "no, you don't need one of those" and create a problem for the prosecution?
Not really, no wonder companies have problems hiring if they are after some mythical person who does not represent the top 1% of programmers, more like the top 0.001% (even Linus Torvalds or Bill Gates don't tick all the boxes here).
