  1. Re:Yes, and the problem is? on Is Apple Tracking iPhone Users Through IMEI? · · Score: 1

    Don't you have laws about abusing EULAs?

    I suppose something like "At any time you have your phone connected, we may use your signal to target a space war laser that will disintegrate you, and all other Apple products you might have on you at that moment." wouldn't fly in court.

    "The prolonged use of this phone may have adverse effects on your health, such as death."

    Niezwyciezony i inne opowiadania / The unvanquished and other stories, Warsaw: MON, 1964

    Webster offers both translations.
    http://www.websters-dictionary-online.org/translation/Polish/niezwyci%25C4%2599%25C5%25BCony

    I think we would need a polish slashdotter to clarify if they understand Niezwyciezony as "the one who never lost" or "the one who'll never lose".

    I don't think they make body-armors for honeybees.

    I think he was using Zealot in it's "basic Protoss templar infantry" interpretation.

  6. Re:Almost historical concept ... on Honeybees Might Prompt Faster Internet Server Technology · · Score: 1

    So they translated it wrong to English too, it seems.

    The book's name should be "The Unvanquished", not "The Invincible". There's quite a difference.

  7. Re:Nope. Humans won that one years ago on Honeybees Might Prompt Faster Internet Server Technology · · Score: 1

    clustering a number of not so intelligent nodes into something that exhibits a higher degree of intelligence. The human brain is by far the best example of that. So you've clustered a number of unintelligent human brains to build something that exhibits a higher degree of intelligence?

    I, for one, welcome our fungus from Yuggoth overlord.
  8. ACO for corpse recovery on Honeybees Might Prompt Faster Internet Server Technology · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used an ACO algorithm in a system to direct cow corpse recovery trucks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony_optimization

    I wonder if the people at the The Georgia Institute of Technology (git?) has nightmares with bees running through a series of tubes as I had about giant cow-corpse-eating zombie ants.

  10. Re:solution on First Use of RIPA to Demand Encryption Keys · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have a few disks that I wiped using cryptologically strong random data. There is no information on them, but I cannot prove that. In fact such a proof is fundamentally impossible in a very strong, mathematical sense. You should have used a cryptologically strong systematic oven. Then the absence of information would be possible to prove, and such a proof would be fundamentally obvious in a very strong physical sense.
  11. Re:Lies on Most Parents Don't Game With Their Kids · · Score: 1

    The wife and I tried playing D&D with our 3 year old, and the kid stabbed the cat with a pencil.

    No more gaming with the kid till she learns fluffy's instestines are not pencil holders. Why? A cat's AC is dexterity based, and I gather the creature was flatfooted.

    Obviously you had plans for the cat further ahead in the plot and you didn't like it to die so soon. Try not to railroad your players so much.
  12. Centuries people! Centuries! on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1

    In five hundred years humanity will most probably have perfectly clean means of obtaining energy and of disposing of any amount of radioactive waste.

    It makes no sense to treat differently 500 and 100.000 year radioactive waste.

  13. Re:TrueCrypt is the best for Windows and Linux. on First Use of RIPA to Demand Encryption Keys · · Score: 2, Interesting

    TrueCrypt is perfect to change a non-geek security behavior in very little time.

    You can send them the installer, help them build an encrypted volume and show them how to use it in less than half an hour.

    The only problem is explaining that if (ok, when) they lose the password, you won't be able to crack it. Ever.

  15. Voice recognition on iPhone Keyboard Leads to Typso · · Score: 1

    To avoid having to teach a lot of people how to type, they could implement some kind of voice recognition device.

    Then, as the message reached his target, the apparatus could reproduce that message with an automated text reader.

    If they implement both services in such a way that they are fast and reliable enough, people would be able to actually have something similar to a voice conversation over long distances.

    "CU" makes more sense.

  17. Re:You are thinking of the wrong kind of advertisi on EU to Investigate Google Doubleclick Acquisition · · Score: 1

    It is the reason that while shampoo is advertised with gorgeous naked women, it is sold by people fully dressed. The solution is clearly to advertise shampoo with fully dressed people saying "The naked women that will compel you to buy our product are at the shop."
