Around 400BC Socrates quipped: Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.
And I think we have found some cuneiform tablets from Sumer with exasperated teacher comments way older than that:)
Interesting idea, I wonder if that's ever been tried? I guess the feasibility depends on what the angular motions of these objects are.
In this case though, they "simply" take a lot of short-exposure images of the same region and add them together. From the abstract:
The technique relies on a combined use of a novel data processing approach and a new generation of high-speed cameras which allow taking short exposures of moving objects at high frame rates, effectively ``freezing'' their motion. Although the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of a single short exposure is insufficient to detect the dim object in one frame, by shifting successive frames relative to each other and then co-adding the shifted frames in post-processing, we synthetically create a long-exposure image as if the telescope were tracking the object with a significantly higher SNR.
These assume that the attacker knows both the encrypted version of the text and the original it was based on, and tries to glean information from their correlation.
Modern ciphers are made resistant even to chosen plaintext attacks, where the analyst knows the key and can tailor-make pairs of plain- and ciphertext.
They're claiming it will be ice free _by_ 2050, not spontaneously in that year! You can verify their claim every summer up to that year.
If their model says the trend is linear and they are right, half the ice is gone in 2032 (they'll probably have some feedback, so check their trend prediction).
Not true. The probability that the next letter in the OTP is (say) an A is always 1/26 when you have no prior knowledge about how the cipher clerk selected it. This is the optimal case, and any changes in how it is selected will only reduce the entropy of the pad.
The corrupted blood incident is actually better described as emergent behavior in a complex system.
The Blizzard developers didn't make a mistake, they just didn't think about all the consequences that debuff would cause in a world-like environment. And researchers had a field day studying the CB spread of the epidemic:)
Nokia is a 150-year-old storied company. The Finns may not be too keen to let it go to an American firm.
Nokia may be 150 years old, but Microsoft would only want their technological branch. That branch is much younger. The question is who gets the brand name, though.
The pilots would have to ignore the PAPI glide slope indicators too. These are rows of light which shine all red when you're coming in too low, a clear warning that you should go around.
And that's even if you ignore the altimeter, 200 meters should be about 20hPa too low on the (in that weather already low) QNH?
I think these numbers are from the joint union agreement (fellesavtalen). Your rights as granted by law are a little worse, eg. 40 hour weeks and 140% overtime. Still, very good by international standards.
Absolutely! And it certainly doesn't need to be collected by private organizations either. If a hooligan commits a criminal offense, his data should be collected by the local police.
If a permanent ban from sports is needed, that information should be sent back to the authorities in the perpetrators home country according to international agreement.
For later matches, border control in the hosting country could then request a blacklist from each participating country.
Poor intellectual judgement on his part? It's the accepted term. Just look at http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/home/index.html, and the about 1,430,000 other results just at nasa.gov pages.

USS Pueblo?
USS Liberty?
Vietnam listening posts?
And many other places they have gathered intelligence...
Actually, rereading the abstract, it seems that GP was spot on:P

How is this in principle different from the known plaintext attacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known-plaintext_attack)?
These assume that the attacker knows both the encrypted version of the text and the original it was based on, and tries to glean information from their correlation.

On the other hand ANCHORY is an actual NSA system (http://www.fas.org/irp/program/disseminate/anchory.htm)
I guess they use both COTS and in-house developed software at NSA too...

*or did I just hear a whoosh over my head?*
But voters could see this (for all good it did them). With a closed computer system recognizing fraud is much more difficult.

As a skydiver, I can testify to the fact that you can "impact" a gas:)

Easily explained: The actual figure is redshift 8.2, putting it about 13 billion light years away.

To paraphrase Fermi,
If this theory is true, why haven't we done so already?

I totally agree with you, this is too insubstantial even for science reporting.
