Wow, a video game isn't scientifically accurate. Who ever would have thought it? Because EA teaches for their gains, and games aren't about fun, they're about rigid adherence to reality.
God forbid those scientists should get a hold of Super Mario Brothers.
The governing observation of the appropriate length of backup survival is data utility, not original machine utility. I still want data that I have on 8" disk, which is probably still viable, but I can't find a drive for. The machine it's from is long since un-useful, but the data is not.
Who was in charge of Congress when Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush 1 were in office? Democrats.
Er, no they weren't.
Who was in charge of Congress when Clinton was in office? Republicans for 6 out 8 years (the 6 best).
Get your facts straight.
Yes, the Republicans have totally melted down in the past 8 years and are now as bad as the Democrats.
Yeah, it's easy to say stuff like that when you aren't burdened by facts. However, a simple look at the numbers - and that includes in your falsely shifted consequential view to fantasies of who's in control - disproves you.
Please don't waste my time with another unsourced rebuttal. If you're going to speak up again, have citation and fact on your side. This sort of unquestioned, blind, faith-driven guesswork is a dangerous waste of time. I will not play party to your fictional political beliefs.
conservatives in my view have always been about protecting and preserving the America's physical assets and wealth
Yes, that's a great talking point they always stick to, but if you take the time to look, the numbers don't bear out the rhetoric. The debt grew enormously under Reagan and both Bushes, and significantly under Nixon and Ford. The debt dropped hugely under Clinton, and significantly under Kennedy, Carter and Johnson. For more than 60 years, that comment has been the exact opposite of correct. Yes, we know it's what they tell you. Why do you believe it? The numbers are easy to find. Do the math. It's just another case of the comfortable mantra; it bears no relation to fact.
The last finanically responsible Republican president was Eisenhower, 1953-1961. Please check the numbers. What you're telling yourself and others isn't true, and if this is really guiding your choice of president, you're about to switch presidential choices. McCain is looking to be a worse financial disaster than Bush has been.
CUDA is a matrix processor. This is a serial processor. CUDA isn't really applicable to general purpose tasks. This is. CUDA gets its power by running the same function over an array of inputs to generate an array of outputs.
No. Ill-educated sheep misusing words does not change the meaning of those words, no matter what descriptivists believe.
The best part is that descriptivist's belief in descriptivism is generally descriptivist: "us being wrong invents correctness, and I know because there are so many of us who believe that."
Sorry, but the only pacifist religion I know of is Buddhism.
Then you don't know jack shit about Christianity. Don't confuse the actions of the Catholic Church with what the Bible says; they are fundamentally unrelated.
Christianity and Islam are both violent, warlike religions.
You've just made it clear that your argument holds no basis in knowledge. Conversation terminated.
Mike Elgan doesn't know what he's talking about. Microsoft has been discussing the significant kernel changes in MinWin for more than a year now. It's a _huge_ technological difference, biggest since 98 ->L xp.
Sorry, but if their religious beliefs include killing people of other beliefs, then yes, they bear some blame.
Luckily, every religion listed in the example is explicitly pacifist. Doesn't it make you feel like a jerk to judge religions without even knowing what they say?
If you want to be blameless, you need to cast off your religion.
Horseshit. I'm not religious, but even if I was, I would share no blame for the actions of others hundreds of years ago.
No, shame on you for allowing religious people to continue living in hate without being held accountable for it.
Lal. Right, shame on me for not pretending to be the judge and jury of my fellow man.
whose other followers have not stepped up and proven how their religions do not justify these actions.
Oh, they have. You just don't know enough about history to be aware of it. Funny how the people quickest to judge others are always the people who know the least about the people they're trying to judge...
If you ever learn anything about the religions you're berating, let someone know. I've stopped listening to you.
If one group, of one religion, attacks another group of people of a different religion, that generally sounds like a "religious massacre".
Sure, except when it isn't a massacre. Grandparent is correct: this atrocity is not of the scale to warrant the melodramatically overused term "massacre". The dead don't even outnumber my highschool. Be serious. Also, whether or not religion was the reason the battle started isn't really that important; when you say "religious battle" people think civilians being killed in the streets for their beliefs. This was the clashing of two trained militaries at a military location.
Massacres are for huge groups of people. The wiping out of a major city is a massacre. This is a battle, and not a particularly large one at that.
So saying that religiously massacring Midianites is wrong is saying Judiasm is evil? And saying that religiously massacring Muslims is wrong means that Hinduism is evil? And saying that religiously massacring Protestants is wrong means that Catholicism is evil?
Yes, yes, and yes.
No, no and no. That's the kind of logic George Bush uses. By that logic, the peaceful Muslims in Indonesia are responsible for 9/11.
The people who committed the atrocities are evil. The religions they used as justification are not. Shame on you.
I'm pretty sure if someone contacted you and told you they'd show you vulnerabilities in your system for a fee your lawyers would tell you to press charges for extortion
No, I wouldn't. That's standard practice in security circles. Indeed, I was just contacted that way about a public application by James Bercegay of GulfTech about two months ago, and we paid him a significant chunk of change in exchange for a full audit. He did a hell of a job; I've been picking off things from his list one after another ever since.
It's very good when someone offers to privately tell you what problems you have. If they exploit them first, you can't trust them anymore, and you have to play cleanup, which is hella expensive.
Don't try to tell me who I am. Unlike you, I only speak when I can speak from experience.
Technically, the kid did the right thing by reporting what he found
No, technically he did the wrong thing by breaking into the network. This isn't complicated. If he technically did the right thing, he wouldn't be technically looking at jail time. This isn't a pity party. He did a bad thing and he's getting punished. Simple as pie.
If some asshat broke into one of my servers then told me how, I'd send his ass to jail too. If he contacted me and said "I would like to break into your server then I'll tell you how", I'd pay him to do it under controlled circumstances. However, if he just up and did it one day, it would cost me tens of thousands of dollars in cleanup.
I can't imagine why you think this was in any way a good idea.
Yes, anyone should be able to break the law and then get off scot-free by claiming it was in the public best interest. Nevermind the cost of the sudden campus-wide security lockdown, nevermind that IT staff may have lost their jobs, nevermind the people now losing sleep because they don't know how to handle things. Nevermind the risk incurred in that if he caused outages he could have disrupted phenomenally expensive research projects. Nevermind that most whitehats leave doors open behind them.
He meant well.
He deserves what he got. Quit trying to make heroes out of everyone looking at jail time. Jesus.
It's a shame that ESPN chose to do this through TopCoder, as TopCoder's general practices are poison for a machine learning contest. TopCoder chose to impose a gig memory limit and a nine minute runtime on any approach to this problem, which murders most machine learning tactics right out the door. It's a shame they didn't do this themselves on the NetFlix model, where contestants just submit predictions.
This contest isn't to get football predictions. It's to get football predictions under arbitrary ram and cpu caps. ESPN's staff wouldn't face such restrictions when using the work; there is literally no reason for this limitation to exist.
This contest's design precludes most modern approaches to machine learning to no appreciable benefit, and is therefore fundamentally flawed. ESPN is going to get seriously quality-limited results.
Tell the sun you can't get a surplus of energy out of fusion.
The sun isn't a Farnsworth Fuzor. There's a big difference between what fusion can do and what the Farnsworth methodology can do. It turns out that most technology has very different constraints than a runaway gravity driven reaction of stellar quantities of loose gasses.

There are hundreds of millions of Christians who disagree with us about natural selection, too. What's your point?
Incidentally, neither the pogroms nor the holocaust would have happened without people. There are no dangerous ideas.

This wasn't a whitehat action. Whitehat actions start with an email, not a penetration. I pay whitehats. I jail grayhats.

Very disappointing.
The link in the ScienceNews page that leads to the actual good stuff is broken; it links to .or, not to .org.
Physicists do. Please don't comment on things you don't understand.
Not even close. Please don't comment on things you don't understand.
Whoever modded parent redundant didn't look at the link. What a tool.
