The home router on IPv6 is always always always at ff02::2. It is not sometimes 192.168.0.1 or sometimes 192.168.1.1 or sometimes 10.0.0.1 or sometimes something else entirely. It is ALWAYS ff02::2. Period. No exceptions. If it is not, it is not IPv6.
Presumably the same way they do tax credits for everything else: voodoo. I'm currently allowed to deduct "research expenses" up to a certain amount. How do they verify what expenses are "research" and which aren't? I don't know, but I'm guessing they'd frown if I tried to submit a receipt for a Jet Ski. Same thing here: as long as you throw something up on Sourceforge (even "Hello World" might count) and give them receipts for things vaguely computer related (new hard drive?) they won't care too much.
Oh. My. God. This got an insightful modification? What has happened to Slashdot? Are we now people so un-nerd-like that we don't even realize a quarternary digit is 2 binary digits?
It shows a very poor understanding of human psychology. Go to this page and do a text search for "drag circles". For boring tasks (such as maintaining Wikipedia), people actually perform worse when they're paid money. If you want the best work out of someone, don't pay them.
When working in base 2? Who on earth works in base 2? Unless you care about what's happening at the block level, I don't see any reason to consider anything filesystem-related in base 2. We abstracted over all these details decades ago.
I don't think very many failed drives have shown up in the real world yet, so we only have testing and voodoo to go on. I've heard with proper wear levelling the drives should last 50 years or more. But well, obviously we can't say if that's true or not yet with certainty.
The most common type of failure on an SSD I believe is when erases stop working (because a block is too worn). It that point it becomes a read-only device (quite a nice side-effect, I think).
Slackware 9.0 was the first Slackware to officially not support the 386, sorry. You need a 486 now. (I know, technically all you need is a recompile to get it working for a 386, but that's a lot of recompiling. This isn't Gentoo here:P)
I'm guessing you didn't run it for long. The fitness isn't monotonically increasing for sure, but it does increase over time. Generation 50 is better than generation 10. Generation 100 is better than generation 50. I haven't run it too much longer than that.
The problem with storing in DNA (or other biological molecules) is that none of your memory is addressable. There are tricks you can use (e.g., enzymes) that will help you fish out DNA strands of a particular length, or containing a particular sequence as a subword, etc. Essentially the data itself would have to carry some address information in it (i.e., it would have to know how to be found).
If something increases by 0%, that means it stays the same, not disappears completely. If something increases by 100%, that means it doubles, not stays the same. Induction can take it from here.
Which part are you complaining about? The use of hex? The use of colons? The length? The use of hexadecimal digits is to make it shorter, I think (since the addresses are so long). I believe the colons are to unambiguously distinguish them from IPv4 addresses.
One thing the summary didn't show was the use of the double-colon. IPv6 addresses commonly have long sequences of zeroes in them, so you can write something like 3f::4:1e:f106 and everything between the:: is zeroes (enough zeroes to make it the right length).
It depends on how the networks are set up, of course, but a lot of IPv6 addresses will have MAC addresses embedded in them. The idea is that you as a consumer get a/64 subnet (instead of a single IP). You might typically then have 256 hosts in that subnet, and each host can have as many devices as it wants (each device distinguished by its MAC).
I don't see the logic at all. Regardless of whether CF only effects white men or not, CF only effects people with CF. I.e., they're alienating the entire student population which doesn't have CF (which I'm guessing would be quite a lot).
If they were truly looking for "diversity", they would only fund research into disease which every student has. But they're not interested in "diversity". They're interesting in "diversity" only with respect to race and sex. I.e., they're racists and sexists.
Man, if only Apple had access to some sort of technology that would automatically back up their emails. Something that indexed the back-ups too. Something that Just Works.
In the same way that golf and donating to charity are taxes on stupidity. Just because someone is willing to spend money on something they find enjoyment in, doesn't make them stupid. It may be profoundly boring to you and I, but a huge number of people enjoy playing the lottery and never intend to win.

Provide last-mile networking infrastructure in Stockholm?
"Verifiable" means you don't have to trust the implementation.

Check and mate.

It was, actually. It was fsn running on Irix (one of the few times something computery wasn't mocked up).
Okay animal-based glues I could understand, but screws, nails and hinges? What's wrong with metal?

No, the rate went up by 300%, not the total number of entrants. I.e., instead of 1 person/year we're now up to 4 people/year ;)

This is an excellent point. No American football player has used his feet since the NFL adopted hoverchairs into the rules in 1974.
Don't you mean 1PB = 12LoC?
Your TV requires HDCP input? As in if you borrow a friend's DVD player or camcorder, it absolutely 100% will not work on your TV? Why did you buy it?

"100 times smaller than a coin". If it works for smallness, why not coldness? Smallness is to size as coldness is to heat. Both are quantities.
No. Just...no. I'm pretty sure it's nothing like saying that.
