True, but it would be strange that there would be a limited amount of Mersenne primes using un unlimited amount of primes. But this could be the case. Still, we are at millions of digits now and we have 2 new ones so I am guessing that there are infinite.
"Should law enforcement agencies have easier access to personal information in the cloud than data on a personal computer?
No."
But the fact is they have. It is easier to force a company into releasing data about you because they do not have an interest in the privacy of your data. If they want my offline data they will have to personally come to my house(or basement;) ) and demand that I release my data. I now have knowledge about it and I may even have the file in an encrypted form making it hard to get. If you send data on to the innernets, it is out of your control. Do not expect any privacy of your data from that moment on.
That's why they are busy trying to develop a zero based compression algorithm. If the number of 1s is bigger than the number of 0s, all bits are flipped.
To recover the original data, flip all bits again and you're set.
"If nothing happens, all is good. If the world ends, doesn't matter anyway."
Yeah, that's why I oppose having safety measures on nuclear weapons. I mean, if nobody abuses it, all is good. If we get a big nuclear war it doesn't matter anyway.
This is a new feature on Slashdot. The same article is rehashed again and again each time using less and less information. Eventually the title will be "stuff" and the text will say "this matters". Furthermore it will be tagged with every previous tags and will cover every previous discussion on Slashdot ever.
It's a satirical show about shitty games from the past atari/NES/SNES/PS1/etc. Looking at several episodes of it I can conclude one thing, there were some very good games but some games simply SUCKED MONKEY BALLS.
Fortunately, we humans can easily repress those feelings. Just don't make me play Deadly Towers again.
True, but games that people have thoroughly enjoyed by most people will still be fun if you play it again. Example: Zelda Ocarina of Time. Sure, the gfx are old but I still enjoy playing it because it's such a kick-ass game.
I fear for Crysis though, gfx quality will catch up on them and then *poof*. You have a standard shooter with lame gfx.
Your game's reputation will suffer in the long run because gfx will improve with time. If you focus on the total picture of gfx/gameplay/tilt/sound/etc. and do it properly your game will have a much better chance of keeping it's rep high.
It's just that it doesn't play a major role in society that nobody cares about it. The only thing I can think of is people with ginger hair. Those people are called lighthouses as a derogatory word where I live.
I never said that I did. But you need to call a cow a cow and downplaying racism by calling it "racially biased" is a way to dodge accusations of racism.
Nobody would accept it from a klanmember so it is merely an excuse to be racist and politically correct at the same time.
"Also, I would just like to point out that racial bias does not necessarily mean racism. I personally believe that racial bias is a natural part of the human psyche, and as long as it is recognized, and understood, and does not adversely disadvantage any particular group of people, should be accepted. But that's just me."
Well, it looks like you defined racism very properly. Being biased based on the color of skin is being racist. I do not judge about it, just saying that it is.
"I'm not racist, I'm racially biased!" is something most people would laugh at.

Sir, I am afraid you need re-education. Please step into the reality distortion field.
