  1. Hard? Huh? on Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? · · Score: 0

    Not if you're are doing it with Fortran95 and MPICH-2....its really a piece of cake...

  2. I guess we should stop on Mouse Brain Simulated Via Computer · · Score: 0

    our many, many years of research in Ca+ dynamics in voltage-gated calcium channels that are involved in synaptic transmission, gene expression and dendritic integration since IBM has part of the mouse brain simulated. I guess trying to simulate using the laws of chemistry and physics to validate our experimental results are meaningless since we concentrated on such a small, tiny-teenee system of a small neuron compared to a whole mouse brain. Good for you IBM. *hangs up lab-coat*

  3. Re:No OS X Port? on TrueCrypt 4.3 Released · · Score: 0

    >However, this requires covert monitoring over a period of time while the system is in active use; >you can't detect the hidden volume simply by seizing a drive and examining it all at once. If we assume we are being monitored covertly and we have a secret secondary partition, is it possible to have TrueCrypt "act like" the user and add many different phoney files and phoney passowrds to that secret hidden partition? The phoney files and phoney passwords should have a distribution of length and timing similar to the users real behavior. In other words, to fool the covert monitors by blasting it with lots of phoney file additions and passwords entries all day long.

  4. So how does one say, on Chinese Hackers Waking up to Malware · · Score: 0

    GW. Bush claims this could be an act of war. Its been reported that the professor may remove

    >1. The tenure review process will screen out the overwhelming majority of the lazy people - you simply can't get tenure if you're lazy - it's too damn hard.

    What a major load of crapt. I've seen several professors rip off writings/proposals/papers off of some extremely brilliant foreign (mainly Indian, Chinese and Russia) graduate students and post-docs. Unfortunately, those individuals are too scared to prosecute their universities and professors (and rightly so). NOW, THOSE professors get tenure, the honest professors who give credit to those billiant individuals are shown the door on average. Point is: cheating works in acadamia, but that's another topic....

    Copyright law is quite clear in that you really don't have to register your work, just the act of creation of a work automatically becomes copyrighted, but the burden is on the creator, he/she will have to prove he/she created it, and in the demoscene, I'm quite sure there are ALOT of people who will want to see the theft get his/her due and back up the original creator...*ahem*

  14. Flame me, Mod me down, I dont care... on Five Hackers Who Left a Mark on 2006 · · Score: 0

    this is one of the dumbest articles to be referenced on slashdot. Claiming these 5 "hackers" to left a mark while ignoring the real hackers (who cannot be named) is like going to Estonia to find the top 5 American football players while ignoring the entire North American continent. I'm very much dissappointed this got by you moderators. Quite sad. okay, now mod me down...

    can physicists now bullsh^H^H^H^H extrapolate this particle to account for the missing 96% of the universe's mass? Is this particle dark matter? Dark Energy? Regular plain old classical matter?

  23. Modeling CANCER is like stating on Computer Simulation of Cancer Growth · · Score: 1

    ,"I'm going to model how Dark Energy and Dark Matter form" when we still don't know what they even composed of. In Cell Biology nobody is even sure on how NADH is bound to lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), but I guess NIH reviewers are always too stupid enough to fall for such "computer modeling". If you really want free and accurate biological models see www.kintecus.com as it is the de facto state-of-the-art in bioinformatics and modeling...and even then, the software system with its models produce okay results for comparatively (relative to cancer chemical mechanism) small systems.
