This helps prevent the issue of "artificially" generated DNA that was talked about earlier. But only 1 of 2 methods have been solved. What about replicated/duplicated DNA which isn't using other combined DNA?
Either way, like I said before, technology is an arms race. They have authentication for simple forgery, but wait for the next big thing that will fool these tests. Good for them though at least:)
Being that the distribution is based on a binomial choice, the chance of guessing the prior value is 50%. That is, if you toss a coin, you have a 50% chance of correctly choosing the value
Wouldn't it be like tossing 2 coins? Since the original data is a flipped coin, and your guess would be the 2nd flipped coin, you would theoretically have less than 50% (25%?) chance of guessing correctly. I'm sure the odds of 2 consecutive coin flips being the same are less than 50%.
Based on his description, he assumes the drive is all 1s or all 0s, and you have a 50/50 chance of lucking out on the coin to get it right.
In reality, there is no such thing as "perfect" balance. In most games I have played, people tend to stick with only 1 build/strategy because of some more highly skilled player succeeding with it (for him). Then for some time, this "ultimate" build is considered overpowered, until time goes on and some other intelligent individual figures out a way to counter (so people either believe the counter is overpowered or their once thought of ultimate build is underpowered). Balance is countered by strategy/skill. Sure, there requires some balance, but you can never perfect it.
I've seen some awfully realistic-looking faked videos
I'm sorry, I just wasn't fooled. Perhaps thinking beforehand it was fake? Or quite possibly because I play too many physics games and understand that it was moving too fast. Or perhaps there's that unexplainable uncanny valley that we have.
Back in the day (2000?) when CGI was coming out for movies, people thought it was pretty real. Then after watching some more recent ones, and going back it looks incredibly fake to people.
From a technical point of view, it will just be one of those tug of wars where we will find better ways of looking at DNA/replicating it.
So next time you chat with me or anyone else, forget the NDA.
Doesn't that sound a bit off? Anyone can say, that an NDA is still recommended. Better safe than sorry, requiring them to sign something is much easier on your state of mind as well. Besides, he points out that the "10th" person just might steal your idea (he emphasizes "maybe", but that means there is still a chance).
Not a full load of classes (possibly). Since it is currently summer break. So 14.3 hours a day, and it could be their hobby which makes it more enjoyable. Besides, "research" doesn't always mean constant work.
I'm sure it has been done, but coming from a business perspective - that is sadly a terrible idea. Depending on your redundancy, this is in no way a place to store data (cause what are you really using it for? backups, mission critical storage that should be left on a server?).
If any of the machines go down, or the user takes it offline (reboot/laptop/virus/whatever), you lose that portion already. Even accounting for redundancy, lets say 3x, you would cut the available space by 3. But even then, what if a virus spreads on your network.
But this assumes you are storing business related information on your business' hardware. What would you store on it that isn't a backup/mission critical?
according to an analysis performed by a Vietnamese computer security researcher. The results contradict assertions made by some in the US and South Korean governments that North Korea was behind the attack
I'll believe it when it is verified by another country... a report coming from Korea trying to take the blame off of Korea does not hold valid to me until I see further proof. No offense, maybe they are right, but this isn't newsworthy yet.
Last I checked, putting everyone in jail will prevent them from stealing. So you are wrong whether you want to accept the horrifying "unthinkable" truth.
Agreed, if someone handed us a (random) book written in Japanese (take your pick which writing style), do you think we could "decipher" it without knowledge of the Japanese language? The half backward sentence structure, the combinations of syllables into letters. Right to left, even bottom to top. Each word being spelled entirely different than our English word. Words having multiple meanings, and when combined with other words having even more unrelated meanings.
It is more likely that the Voynich was written in a dead language written by a person hoping to preserve that language in some way.

Wont fool me twice, better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry.
It's called idle, anything "interesting" (whatever samzenpus thinks is) goes. Don't like it? Don't read it, you are on the internet now, you don't have to look, be your own filter.
iceperson makes mention of this down the chain, but to elaborate:
They keep it to prevent spamming/griefers from creating countless "LOL PENIS" posts. So they can ban IPs (which gets rid of about 90% of the idiots who don't know what proxies are). This is why some forums have "approve by admin before account creation options" but once the forum gets bigger, they default to captchas (which any spammer will get by).
Not all forums are like slashdot (with the 60 minute wait), but if one wanted to, one could easily spam slashdot forums just as well (with a little more tech know how required of course, imagine a beowulf cluster of botnets all posting first post on here).
I know, at first it looked like a curious idea...After looking at the pictures, I thought WTF? That's not furniture, that's like grass wrapped around a log.
But they still got $20 for selling an unusable game.
Go pay another $20, and you will still be $10 ahead of what most games cost. Don't get me wrong, you still have the hassle and were ripped off, and I think the DRM in steam is a bit much (if their server goes down, most of your multiplayer games are gone) The only thing that I am okay with is their pricing at least.
There's more scenarios.. remember when Javascript would "disable right-click", but download to your temp folder? Same thing:
Without flash:
Right click
Save as
Select folder
Save
Without flash, right click disabled:
Navigate to internet cache
Right click - copy "image" file
Select folder
Paste
With flash
Navigate to internet cache
Right click - copy ".swf" file
Select folder
Paste
With flash/some way where flash connects to the site and downloads image:
Get program that copies from xy to xy on your screen (plenty out there, hell I made my own
Click screen cap, find next image
You are right: it is "more involved" for the average Joe, but who cares if he takes it? He probably won't have the know how to be making money by stealing your images anyways. This is the digital age, and preventing images from being copied is the same problem that the RIAA/MPAA currently face. Anything can be replicated/saved if it comes from the computer.

Their new feature? "Challenges" aka achievements...
Perhaps you could followup with those who are undergoing the procedure? Besides, if you change: will you know and care?

Mapping them to foot pedals, though, would be kind of hot. I'd start writing articles in VI if I had a rig like that, just for the sheer coolness.
I don't recall the foot pedals on sewing machines being cool...

Yes, but how does Google Voice then call the number (your cell) it just took from your cell?

If the first two children were girls, the ratio for a third child was 1.51 to 1 â" or about 50 percent greater â" in favor of boys.
Heaven forbid flipping a coin 3 times, 1 of those 3 (33%) would come up heads.

So what does it do then, exactly??
But the biggest enhancements have to do with parallel programming,
It means: developers, developers, developers, developers.
seems to be a result of high-pressure interactions between Manganites. Manganites aren't new to this game
For shame /. No comments or jokes on the obvious? Its right there for the taking.
