  1. Re:I read this on Slashdot more than 5 years ago on Research Finds That Electric Fields Help Neurons Fire · · Score: 1

    G3ckoG33k: Perhaps you're referring to Adrian Thompson's work on FGPAs. See http://considerthefuture.com/Computing/CompArticles/comp2_evolve.html for a 2001 article which was featured on Slashdot. Also check out http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/adrianth/ascot/paper/paper.html and http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/users/adrianth/ices96/paper.ps for relevant papers by Thompson on FGPA-based evolution.

  2. Re:No brainer on LucasFilm Sues Jedi Mind Over 'Jedi' · · Score: 1

    As others have said they don't need to register a trademark to enforce it. In any case Lucas owns multiple 'JEDI' trademarks (in addition to trademarks which contain the word 'JEDI'). LucasFilm trademarks for 'JEDI' include trademark 78488803 (registered 25 May 2010), 2595365 (registered 16 July 2002), 2823661 (registered 16 March 2004) and 2858244 (registered 29 June 2004).

  3. GameSpot covered this ages ago on The Trap Set By the FBI For Half Life 2 Hacker · · Score: 1

    I remember this story from GameSpot's "The Final Hours of Half-Life 2" at http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6112889/p-18.html and onwards.

  4. Nothing new on AVG Virus Scanner Removes Critical Windows File · · Score: 1

    AVG has been the master of false-positives for a while. Some legitimate application are picked up repeatedly as a different trojan/virus every several months. Every time they are informed they fix it in their next definition, only to make the same mistake again with the same programme a few months later. Their quality control seems fairly poor.

  5. Re:Psycho-engineering response to above on How Can Nerds Make a Difference In November? · · Score: 1

    Surely you just need to use a one-time pad to encrypt your message, then after the election .

  6. Re:Forgive my ignorance on 45th Known Mersenne Prime Found? · · Score: 2, Informative

    When it comes to cryptography, when youbigger the prime numbers you have the harder it is to break the encryption.

  7. Re:numb3rs anyone on Bees Help Detectives Catch Serial Killers · · Score: 1

    I was thinking exactly the same thing. The whole "calculating thehot zone" method of catching the criminal was a main plot point of the pilot episode.

  8. Re:Id this old? on Nuclear Explosions Key To Spotting Fake Art · · Score: 1

    Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Season 1 Episode 2 (Art): "The specialist explains that after the Hiroshima bomb, paintings made after 1945 have a higher radiation level".
