  1. Re:Counterfeiting is Ok. on $200B Lost To Counterfeiting? Back It Up · · Score: 1

    Have you ever heard about The Government Pension Fund of Norway?
    I think this might distort the picture a bit.

    Try with one of the non-oil-funded countries like Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland or the Netherlands.
    Beside that, I support your point.

  2. Re:Does anyone else get sad? on No Naked Black Holes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Having the massive intellect to comprehend the answers to all these questions does not make one less depressed.

    Marvin.

  3. Re:Seems Like A Bad Summary on Apple Admits iPod Is From 1970s UK · · Score: 4, Informative
  4. The not-so-fast JavaScript VM? on Google Chrome, the Google Browser · · Score: 1

    Am I alone in thinking that the name of the VM doesn't exactly send the signal that it will be the fastest one around?

  5. Re:Where's the lego minitiature on Beijing 2008 In Lego · · Score: 1

    I don't get it - why is the parent modded troll?
    If it's just the old "-1 Disagree", then I get it, but is there any other reason for modding this troll?

    If it is "-1 Disagree", then please inform me what it is that is disagreeable about it, because I don't get it.
    I'm sure there are strong feelings involved, but censoring isn't exactly the way to help China's case in the matter.

  6. Re:Next, Lego Will Make It a Creativity-Free Kit on Beijing 2008 In Lego · · Score: 1

    You do know that the basic tiles are still offered, right?
    But a lot of stores don't seem to want them.

    Try Creative Building and Creator.
    But yes, it does seem to be Indiana Jones, Batman, Star Wars, and the likes that give the greatest profit for stores.

    It is sad that Lego City and Lego Castle are now specialized blocks with a lot less creative freedom, but I don't exactly think you can blame Lego for the loss of creativity.

  7. Probably viral marketing... on Bees Help Detectives Catch Serial Killers · · Score: 1

    This is just a way of marketing Bee Movie 2.

  8. Re:Time range on IP Traffic To 'Double' Every Two Years · · Score: 1

    At that time the tubes will be clogged and a major cleaning procedure will be necessary - everybody knows that...

  9. Re:Interesting development on Encryption Passphrase Protected by the 5th Amendment · · Score: 1

    Fair question.

    Let's just assume the standard size of openPGP atm., i.e. 1024 bits. That's 2^1024 possible key values. Now assume that you have a computer able to check 2^64 keys per second (an outrageous assumption). This amounts to about 2^89 key checks per year.

    With this kind of computers you'd still need 2^935 computers in a cluster and that's to try all possible keys in a year (not that the 365 factor means that much when dealing with numbers of these sizes).

    So brute force attacks like this really isn't feasible.

  10. Re:Unfair.. and I'm a HD-DVD supporter.. on NYT Confirms Movie Studios Paid to Support HD DVD · · Score: 1

    The rights of the consumers are violated. Suddenly the producers compete in paying off distributors instead of product value and price.

  11. I've come up with a number as well. on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 1

    You thought you couldn't calculate log(-1)?
    Well, you were wrong! Today you can also be one of the select few who are allowed to use my number: Qumph.
    For only a small amount you can get a license to do really neat and strange mathematics.
