  1. want THC in seaweed on Would You Like Drugs in Your Rice? · · Score: 1

    What about genetically modifying sweetwater seaweed to contain THC? No need to grow marijuana, and who can ban you from swimming in the lakes?

    Definetly, it would be fun what can politics do in such situations.

    And it is not as extreme as it could be at first sight...

  2. hungarians on A High-tech Wheel of Fortune · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually their said one beutyful girl was from Hungary with two serb guys. They said they used a mobile-shaped laser-scanning device, but they don't know if it is prohibited.

    http://index.hu/tech/tudomany/ritz040323/
    in hungarian.

    Later they said, that this device cannot exist, as such a device would be least a pc large and needs a calibration of some hours and at least NASA technique to make it.

    So at last, they said, that there are a number of people who actually can figure out what is the winning number from the spinning of the wheel by her own eye.

    The article also mentions, that after all, they don't really need to now the EXACT target of the ball, if they can close out 2 numbers, they can earn an average of 3% per round.

    So anyway, it's a weird weird story with SCI-FI elements...

  3. post rsbac news, too! on NSA Releases Updated SELinux · · Score: 3, Informative

    There were some selinux related posts on slashdot, consider checking www.rsbac.org too.

    RBAC, MAC, ACL, extensible, malware-scan (virus protection on kernel ('access') level), network protection, other methods (FF,...) and whatever you wish

    It's not financed by NSA, and not programmed in the US., can you be happier?

    Anyhow, don't tell me SeLinux is better because.. it would cause a flame-thread only...

  8. Re:Electric Toothbrush? on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 1

    I really don't know, but the electric parts are not so close to the head of the toothbrush, and that 10 cm is enough to drop the strengh by 100 or such.

    On the other hand, a toothbrush does can last for a long time on AA batteries, that means, it's motor is not too strong (not 1000 watt or something like in a vacuum cleaner or an iron)

    and after all, you really don't use the brush (and the shaver) all day long, hopefully ;-)

  9. numbers on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 3, Informative

    some numbers about the magnetic induction of simple devices:

    fridge 0.5-1.7 0.01-0.25 0.01
    washing machine 8-50 0.15-3 0.01-0.15
    microwave oven 73-200 4-8 0.25-0.5
    vacuum cleaner 200-800 2-20 0.13-2
    hair dryer 8-2000 0.01-7 0.01-0.3
    e. shaver 15-1500 0.08-9 0.01-0.3

    So what you see is that a hair dryer, an electric shaver or an iron (not shown here) can cause _very_ strong magnetic field. The problem is you probably not used to use an iron next to your brain (3cm or such) but the shaver is _much_ stronger, because of the small distance.

    Don't forget these are ELF fields , "extreme low frequency", so don't compare with radiation of a cell phone!

    ----
    So actually they check if the server works correctly... BTW the attached example shows, that they:
    1. Searched for a simple proxy
    2. Tried to connect to smtp servers in the same subnet from the proxy

    so actually they don't want to find "open" relays but "semi-open" relays, , and those relays are not banned by most of the antispam lists (to reduce the number of false positives)

  12. explanation on Future of 2.4 and 2.6 Kernels · · Score: 3, Informative

    linux-2.4.0.tar.gz is 24378762 bytes
    linux-2.4.23.tar.gz is 37010062 bytes.

    So you can expect 2.4.25 etc. won't go over 40 megs compressed. That's what a "stable" kernel development stands for.

  13. is it sure we need this? on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why do we need landing on Mars and building colony?
    Did You think about this?

    If we cannot manage to get off all of Mao Ces and Husseins, why are we so sure about colonizing any other planet?

    In fact, if we control another planet, the another 'independece war' will start and after all we get even more 'regions' on the world.

    So, until we get a sunstainable civilization on earth, is there any reason to go beyond? Technology is one point, but what about the social system of the earth?

    We are not mature enough, I think... It's not matter of technology...
