This study is great and all for something with a lifespan of 40 days.. but what about the long term effects of low calorie intake in a human over the course of say, 75 years. Little nourishment does little for our immune system.. I would rather live a healthy life than a long sickly one. Besides, at 80 years old with another 80 to go.. our immune system is going to need all the gusto it can get from proper nutrition.
Thats precisely why Strom Thurman should use 256bit encryption!
2 ^ 256 trials * 1 cycle / trial * 1 second / (10^12 aggregate computer cycles) * 1 year / (3600 * 24 * 365) = 31600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000 years... he should be retired by then at least.
Anyone else find that a little odd? Largest merger in history.. yet as of 2:30, AOL (AOL) is trading +1.25(2.58%) , and Time-Warner (TWX) is trading +1.87(2.58%). Even more odd.. the percentage of change is the same.. all the way to the hundredths place. EEERRRIIE!
When I get home I plan on digging up my copy of Alice in Wonderland.. I know I have one somewhere. I guarantee I am not going to find anything that says I cannot read the text aloud.
My question is.. how is it that I can read my text copy aloud, but not an electronic copy? The story is still the same. If I read aloud from my book, I am "publically distributing" the same content which this EULA is trying to protect. Does this EULA apply to my old text copy?.. There are too many loopholes in a license like that.. it would never hold up in court.
What about benefits/pitfalls of advocacy in your department. My department has been recently meeting over this very thing. We have two schools of programmers all working on related projects, however half of us use Perl for our end, the other half are ASP/VBscript junkies.
The big question is.. how would things change if we all chose one language as our department standard. On one hand, product integration would be simplified. Instead of being able to ask 2 other guys for help on a problem, I could ask 5 other guys.. code reviews would be easier. But then again, half of us would have to conform to a language we are not comfortable with.
And who should make the decision as to which language should be the future language of the department? We try to ask ourselves thing like, "Is perl slowly on its way out? Will.NET change everything for the ASP 3.0 coders?.. will it change things for Perl coders?" Its been an increasingly pressing issue with no answer in sight. Our only solution is to wait another 6 months and re-evaluate the state of affairs. Anyone else dealing with this kind of thing?
All the state needs to do is hack into some of New Jersey's many Nuclear or trash burning power plants and everyone can have lights on their house for Christmas and Intel can continue to make faulty chips.
One problem that arises here, for the FBI at least, is that most of the time they will only get half of the story. Sure, they can read my keystrokes.. but what good is that when my keystrokes are "p i n e" to check my mail from my mob boss. As long as I reply with "yes, I will deliver the goods" rather than "yes, I will kill your wife" I'll be in good shape. For any smart criminal, I would think it would be standard practice to speak with in a non incriminating manner. Besides, I wouldn't expect my computer to be any safer than my phone, especially if I was a novice who doesn't know how to cover my "digital ass".
Eh.. bleem's website also says that bleemcast (playstation emulation for dreamcast) will be released in summer of 2000.... wait, that was 4 months ago and it still isn't out. not too reliable.

"'The crucial thing', says Millis, 'is whether Goodwin's magnet would produce any net motion at all--it might just sit there and vibrate.' "
That may be true... but can it put me in jail?
