  1. digital security on This Gizmo Knows Your Amex Card Number Before You've Received It (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem with digital security is that to have enough security you need so huge numbers that you can't remember what was the original one. If you can't remember the stuff how would you expect to validate something? Humans will loose to machines in every way, so it's easier to make humans secure instead of machines secure.

  2. about the sequence idea on Interviews: Ask Mathematician Neil Sloane a Question · · Score: 1

    what is incredible for this sequence idea is that instance is base dependent. but definition not. I mean, base-10 : 1,12,123,1234,12345,... base-2:1,110=4 base 10, 11011=27 base 10, 11011100 = 220 base 10, 11011100101 =1765 base 10 base-4:1,12=6 base 10,123=27 base 10,1210=100 base 10, base 8:1,12=10 base 10, 123=83 base 10, 1234=... 123 in base 8 is 83 in base 10 which is prime. So I do believe there is infinite primes on base 10, it's not a solid belief, but anyway it's not the case. the case is that any huge prime generated by this idea can be optimally compressed by its last part.

  3. anything complex than O(n) on Tracing the Limits of Computation · · Score: 1

    you can serialize a computer to hash (map-reduce) then the second computer (or thread) to do what you have to do. as long the alphabet is a closed set and smaller than current int(32/64), it's a good strategy for full match.

  4. Re:Dear Enterprise Architect on Ask Slashdot: Advice On Enterprise Architect Position · · Score: 1

    Guess its the same reason why Linus like kernel develop and not Bill "power".

  5. Re:Dear Enterprise Architect on Ask Slashdot: Advice On Enterprise Architect Position · · Score: 1

    The only way to fully control a business is being small, otherwise you need social engineering to lie to yourself that someone is in charge of anything.

  6. Dear Enterprise Architect on Ask Slashdot: Advice On Enterprise Architect Position · · Score: 1

    You know you are being paid to be the second to be blamed after sysadmin. You also know that money don't care if there is gravity in this planet. I do not need to mention that you like to not being able to handle this cause its a lot of money. But I need to mention that you don't have time to spent that money. And that's all the reason why people giveup being CEO or worse, make "mistakes" being CEO in order to run own non-profit business. What stakeholders have in mind is always a company that has so strong muscles that inertia would not allow the brain to have other choice. But the brain always have a graham number of choices, so if you touch what you can't touch by hacking enterprise you are in trouble by choice.

  7. Re:just kill eval on Using HTML5 To Hide Malware · · Score: 1

    guess browser manufacturers should restrict document.write to a "meta allow source", it would breaks direct malicious injection(by console), but crafted messages are not in javascript client side scope, so the data must be filtered/sandboxed at server side if belongs to the scope of injection analisys. at client side there is not much more to do if the client is owned by the attacker.

  8. physics and law on On Being Pro-GPL · · Score: 1

    I guess people can learn about society, thinking about music rights and torrent software.

  9. True to the matter, it may be a fake. But why risk future fundings? Immediate bankrupcy is on the way? I don't think so. Some things are more difficult to raise human capital than others, and those things use to have a huge queue of people wanting to get in. Maybe chip manufacturers could fake the efficiency, but again, why risk it?

  10. Microsoft / Google / Apple on Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question · · Score: 1

    What is your opinion about their software? Forget about about money, and marketshare. I'm talking about empty software, recently intalled, with no user data.

  11. Scope on Knowing C++ Beyond a Beginner Level · · Score: 1

    All that being said, is there one particular thing or point that separates learners from masters? Knowledge of public well known libs, how to overscope and underscope legacy code without touching it keeping it manageable.

  12. Guess it should be kept to generate energy in a future where this kind of tech could be controled, the danger is that if society can't be controled does such devices with control could possibly be controled? U.S. citizens think in peace by now and if in 1k years that tech still has no control, where the bombs will fall? devices are pratically imortal compared to a social setup.

  13. Setup on The Future of AI: a Non-Alarmist Viewpoint · · Score: 1

    At that point of full automation, the only purpose of financial system is to control overpopulation. But as long as poor won't have access to money they won't have access to that automation, that means the population will shrink and starve cause "the faith" won't let births become bureaucratic by removing financial system to a state controled births and deaths with a quota resources for every one. Simply there will be no discussion about it cause govern do not lead anymore, tech (not tech people, just tech) leads. Open source or not, its unavoidable, unprecedented change on human history. Govern could pose that has the control by marketing fear, but its just that, ads for votes.

  14. moneymaking on SourceForge and GIMP [Updated] · · Score: 1

    source forge is a direct competitor of github, if they don't figure out how to make money without screwing with content then they will bankrupt cause its old tech. also stopped using filezilla, instead, wrote my own ftp then no other ftp client will make me download any shit from them while they are fucking around.
