Or maybe they just like pulling over loud-mouth smartass 16 year olds... at least the British have some semblance of politeness left, and might possibly admit to doing something wrong... as opposed to the average American who assumes anyone chastising him for wrongdoing is "violating my 1st amendment right to be an asshole 24/7" ?
It certainly WAS popular with Chinese gold farmers up until Jan 2008... at which point Runescape decided to rid the game of those pesky "cheaters" by basically abolishing any value exchange greater than 3k gold. (This in an economy where the rarest items were trading for 650 million gold).
They achieved this marvel of control by killing PvP completely, both the Wilderness AND Duelling Arena, not allowing the trading, exchanging or gifting of any item worth more than 3k, and saw their player base drop from typically 200,000 players to about 70,000 in the space of a month.
It's a shame because it WAS a great addictive game in some respects.
the wiki will state all of known mathematics in a machine-readable language
I'd suggest that most mathematics is already in a "machine-readable" language, and those machines (i.e. the ones who only post their work on pay-to-view websites) are the ones that have held back the connecting of various fields.
If they'd just make it a bit more accessible for the general public, and provide more examples of what they are doing, instead of abstracting everything and assuming everyone knew as much as them (or rather what symbols they are using to represent what they know), then maybe mathematics would be further advanced.
Just my take on it, I'm interested in maths, but resent the way mathematicians try to maintain their elitist clique.
Yes, except those legal casinos with their legal liability are the same ones who will tell you "you are no longer welcome here", if you start winning too much, or card counting, or employing some other system to bend the odds in your favour.
Online casinos can't scrutinize the players in the same way, and can barely tell the difference between a real player and a bot.
I'm not saying what they did was in any way correct, but please don't compare them with the "fair, unbiased people of Las Vegas" - they both want to bleed you dry as quickly as possible.
And then if they can just sort out the other annoying little things like lack of food, lack of clean water, lack of education, the prevailing tribal mentality that cause them to kill each other on a regular basis etc, then won't Africa be a great place.
But do christians or christianity as a whole actually act that way? No, I don't think I've seen any people who think we should, say, go mass-murder India because some Christians joined a new-age Guru and converted to some eastern tantric stuff.
Well the Spanish Inquisition did a pretty thorough job for 350 years.
Jews, Protestants, Muslims were all persecuted in various ways for not following the "correct" religion. And we're not talking comfy chairs or soft cushions either.
You're creating a false threat model and dismissing the real threat too lightly.
Something like the US and the whole Iraq WMD thing, you mean ?
1. While terrorists may or may not be interested in impersonation, that will affect relatively few people. However, if the ID card becomes part of the UK's critical infrastructure, ie the provision of services becomes dependent on successful reads from cards, then it may be of interest to terrorists or states to attempt DoS attacks.
No more than it is already dependant today on NIC (National Insurance Numbers) or DVLC issued Driving Licence numbers. The possible chance that a new system may be be subject to a DoS attack is no more compelling an argument than a DoS attack on an existing system that is already in place.
2. Criminal gangs, on the other hand, will be very interested in impersonation, and could affect many thousands or tens of thousands of people. Not generally for fitting people up (although that will happen, and corrupt officials -- wifebeaters, fraudsters, bent coppers etc -- will likely be in the forefront), but instead to gain access to services / assets.
Those who want to abuse the system already have moles or assetts in enough places to do whatever they wish. Again trying to argue that adding another potential point of abuse will suddenly plunge us into the dark world of Orwell is nonsensical.
3. Security is as strong as its weakest link. If the one-way hash is strong, attacks will be made on other parts of the infrastructure instead. But there will be successful attacks, many facilitated via social engineering.
Again, you still fail to demonstrate what NEW risks are involved with an ID system over any other system that already exists.
If the best justification you can come up with is that it carries the same risks as all existing measures of identification, then you fail, sorry.
I think the parent meant to say "useable" rather than "readable".
If a one way encrypted hash of the data points are stored on the chip, then this is compared with the hash generated when you put your finger in a scanner.
It's exactly the same principle as hashed passwords, the important thing is not whether it is readable or not, the point is you cannot use the hash to recreate the original data, ergo the concept of "one-way".
How many years did it take for them to find a collision on a 56 bit diffie-helman key ? and to my knowledge, the largest RSA cracked to date was 576 bits (although that's a 2 way function so slightly diferent thing).
The point is, if you have a one way function with a suitable number of bits to make it practically incrackable for the next 100 years, then that will be enough to ensure that your fingerprint data cannot be reproduced and "used" by some unscrupulous person.
I'm sure Al Qaeda have it on the top of their list that before the next plane flies into a building, they make sure they frame Mrs Glady Pew of 37 Edgeware Road for the crime with biometric fingerprint data lifted from her passport:-( </sarcasm>
Yes but the chinese tend not to "pirate" so much, rather they make a duplicate of something so it "looks and feels" almost the same as the original.
The missus bought a Chinese "Nokia 99i", believe it or not... picked it up in some shady market for about 100 bucks... it's got pretty much all the functionality of the real N95, plus a TV tuner built in. Of course, it also has that chinese chip that burns out 1 millisecond AFTER the warranty has expired, but as this one didn't even come with a warranty, let alone a box, even switching it on tends to be a game of Russian Roulette these days.
Oh and like everything else made in China these days, it has a port of MAME with all the old favorites like 1942, Donkey Kong etc... I swear to god, they do that with every electronic device these days. Want a DVD player ? comes with games... want a TV ? comes with games... want a bloody toaster ? comes with games.
So why exactly would they want to access the Pirate Bay... they'll simply roll their own copy instead.
If you can't see both ends of a loop or condition, then what's inside is too damn long. The minute you have to start scrolling or trying to match braces across multiple pages of code, you lose track of what loop / condition you are inside of.
Never be afraid of using something like GOTO HandleAnError;
If you are making a set of say 20 tests, and need at any point to abort the remaining ones if one fails, then having 20 levels of nested conditions is NOT the way to go.
Likewise if your indenting is such that you have to horizontally scroll your editor to even see the start of a nested nested nested statement, then it is again far too nested already.
Simply make a test - did it fail ? If yes, then GOTO the error handler - otherwise continue with the next test etc.
It's clean, unamibiguous, and saves scroll work with your mouse and a lot of time in mentally unwrapping all the nested levels.
Oh, and finally, don't EVER believe your boss when he tells you it needs to do "X AND Y, but never Z"... because chances are three weeks later he will come back and say "make it do Z also".
Code defensively, as if you know you will have to come back and modify it later... don't ever assume a project is finished, because in my experience, it NEVER is !
2. The legality of anything is not the issue... my mistake, it was your parent poster who'd used the emotive word "warez", and I'd read it as part of your post.
3. Streaming vs non-streaming. Well I'll only reiterate my point, that it's not the purpose you use those bits for, it's how many of them you use and what detriment it causes to other users. I truly believe that they made a good move here, in that the bandwith hogs can STILL hog the bandwidth, but are going to pay a penalty in latency. Now for P2P it's not that hard to throttle back your up and down speeds, for YouTube not quite so easy I'll admit.
But that still doesn't detract from the issue, why should MY use of the internet be considered more / less important than yours ? So you choose to watch "animals closeup with a wide-angle lense ala southpark". That doesn't mean the rest of us should suffer because you need high bandwidth stream AND with good latency. There's nothing to stop you downloading it and watching the full thing later - you aren't forced to stream.
Finally, first an idiot and now a fucking moron, also you don't give a shit ? Your command of the language has got me completely awestruck. Next time try keeping a civil tongue in your head, you foul mouthed bastard.
but I think real-time streaming (like Youtube) ought to have priority over bulk downloads (like BitTorrent).
Surely that is not the issue... if you choose to watch YouTube all day, that is your right, and it is my same right to download the new distro of Redhat or even the latest cracked game from a P2P service.
For once I think Comcast got something right... if they have a problem with throughput, then the user who hogs the bandwidth the most gets penalised first - REGARDLESS of what they are using the bits for.
You want to justify your excessive bandwidth usage by comparing apples and oranges i.e. legal vs "possibly" illegal in this case - but bear in mind NOT EVERYONE who uses P2P is automatically downloading warez / copyrighted stuff / pr0n...
At the store is a box wrapped in cellophane, and nowhere are you informed that "in buying this game are you accepting the installation of a rootkit by another name".
Once the cellophane is removed however and you are already at home on your PC installing it, only THEN do you read the EULA and discover what they are doing (if they've actually written in there that they use SecuROM).
You will find in the real world that many games stores are loath to refund for a game once it has been opened, unless it can be seen to be defective, in which case they will give you a replacement disc OF THE SAME GAME.
They will NOT simply refund because "you didn't like it", or "I discovered it had a rootkit on it", because then games stores would just become havens for "duplicate and return" piracy.
Wake up, they've got you over a fucking barrel. Maybe a lawsuit and the ensuing bad publicity will hit them where it really hurts - in the wallet.
21 years after the GIF spec was introduced, and you STILL can't save a GIF from Paint or PhotoEditor without it fucking up the colour table.
Now I know there's a million paint packages out there, but when they can't even follow a simple spec like GIF then what hope is there for anything else ?
Yes, but you see the Parent was reasoning that clicking the "X" should equate to meaning "yes".
And that's where it falls down, as depending on the context of the question in the dialog, most users will say "Isn't it OBVIOUS what to do when I click the X ?".
They want the dialog to go away, BUT they also want the application to read their mind about the obvious thing that should happen, sane as if they'd clicked the yes or no button and conciously indicated the choice themselves.
As a side note on being a sadist, I once had a chain of three dialog boxes one after another, as my boss had asked me to allow a delete functionality on something that should NEVER be deleted. Whilst I argued against ever allowing this at all, sometimes you just cannot explain this to the boss.
"You are about to delete xyz, this could bring down the system - are you sure ?" "You are about to delete xyz, this could bring down the system - are you REALLY sure ?" "LAST CHANCE - You are about to delete xyz, this could bring down the system - are you REALLY sure ?"
And then a final popup...
"Okay, don't say I didn't warn you - I am available on the following number when you need me"
(Suffice to say, I've never received an urgent call at 3am - they are all shit-scared to click "yes").
As a coder, I try to limit my popups to critical items, usually invoving delete actions.
Example, if you see a warning "You are about to delete the entire payroll data for September !!! Are You Sure ???"
What DO you expect to happen by clicking on the X button ? I need an answer to the question that might lead to a very important change in the system. Dismissal of the box isn't an option in every case.
In addition to music, the slotMusic cards will come pre-loaded with other things, such as liner notes, album-cover artwork and sometimes video
And advertisements, rootkits, DRM schemes, spyware...
Why is it every keydisk manufacturer thinks I want their crappy software to run every time I put a disk in the USB slot ? Sick of this nonsense, meaning your 2GB memory is actually only 1.8GB plus some non removable crap, and not one but 2 drive letters to deal with:-(
And how would Haskel determine the length of that stream, without first processing the entire thing to determine how "indefinate" it is ?
Infinite = known to have no end, ever. Indefinate = end is not known at this time.
There's a huge bloody difference, especially if you have to code a decision whether to store that stream on your/tmp drive based on it's size. By definition Haskel would store the entire thing until it runs out of drive space, and then presumably crash with some sort of "application error" ???
Exactly, so what you are saying is that removing the background image, but leaving the text in place is "innovation" ?
I'm not arguing about what they are patenting or not, I'm arguing about your idea of what innovation means. (and more importantly what it means the the US patent office).
In that case, I will file my patent for the chalk board eraser (blackboard rubber for the european readers).
With a normal chalk board eraser, the information is removed from the board, leaving a cloud of chalk dust in the catch tray.
With the "daveime TM chalk board eraser", the information is removed from the board, leaving a cloud of chalk dust on the FLOOR... SEE HOW INNOVATIVE I AM !!!
But really, what's the point? What do I get from this site I can't find with usenet and Google groups?
There used to be a time, many years ago, when Googling for something, or looking on usenet might actually find an answer to a technical question.
Just last week we had a tech issue with MSIE 7 and the "Operation Terminated" popup.
Out of all the top 10 pages of supposed "tech forums" listed on Google where this issue had been encountered, the responses are overrun with cockroaches with nothing more constructive to say than "use Firefox". Fuck off, I asked for a technical answer, not a fanboi's wet dream.
Lets hope this sit might finally do away with the egotism and spam that the fanbois pollute everything with, and we might just find an anwser to the question we were asking (but somehow I doubt it).
