  1. dd-wrt on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1

    dd-wrt will do it. A trusting relationship will too. Although, it may be a good way to catalyze production of tech savy kids. They will figure out how to get around it. :D

  2. Re:Community fiber on US Considers Some Free Wireless Broadband Service · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a great idea.

  3. Ubuntu Linux Virus!? on AIDS-Like Virus New Threat To Koala · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Thank god they weren't talking about Ubuntu.

  4. This doesn't go against evolution at all on Scientists Discover Proteins Controlling Evolution · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This doesn't go against evolution at all. It simply means that a system has evolved that checks for errors in a very conserved process (the electron transport chain) because if it wasn't conserved then the species would be less fit (less offspring) and die out. It's important to note that evolution is a change in allele frequencies of a population. So this electron transport problem control system is not actively changing allele frequencies. It is simply accounting for problems that arise and letting the organism be fit when it might otherwise not because of some sort of deleterious mutation.

  5. Who understands this part? on How China Will Use Cyber Warfare To Leapfrog Foes · · Score: 1

    Software Skeleton Keys "People's Liberation Army cyberwarfare units now have the source codes for America's ubiquitous office software, which Microsoft provided to the Chinese government as a condition of doing business in China. This means that they essentially have a skeleton key to almost every networked government, military, business, and private computer in America. But Chinese government hackers do not restrict their operations to U.S. targets." How does having the source code to Office give you access to every networked computer in America?
