  1. Re:Fake Dogs?!? on Forging a Head: The Upside of Scientific Hoaxes · · Score: 1

    Don't know about Labradoodles, but I'm sure Platypus must be a hoax.

  2. Re:WTF? on Hypertext Creator: Structure of the Web 'Completely Wrong' · · Score: 1

    I believe he's referring to Transclusion where you can include content from other sources as part of your document.

    It has a name: Microsoft OLE :-)

  3. Buddhists perhaps... on The Vatican Lauds Hackers · · Score: 1

    I'd say hackers are more like buddhists, in that they seek knowledge by "dissecting" reality and observing it as it is, without right/wrong prejudices. ...and with a little of dudeism contamination, which is just cool.

  4. Don't read it loud! on FBI Wants You To Solve Encrypted Notes From Murder · · Score: 1

    ...just summoned Cthulhu in my kitchen... help...

  5. Re:crypto is hard on Distinguishing Encrypted Data From Random Data? · · Score: 1

    Randomness is one of the harder computer problems.

    Random isn't so hard...

    Just add the .RND extension to your encrypted file: I bet that a certain famous OS wouldn't spot the difference... (it might also display "Random data" in the file description). This technique is not portable though.

  6. Re:Not quite on Large Irish ISP To Enact "Three Strikes" Rule For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    In Ireland (as in the UK), the copyright on sound recordings (so MP3s and whatnot) expires 50 years after the recording was made

    Allegedly in UK expires after 50 years if the author is dead, or 70 years after his/her/their death.

  7. Re:The reason why on Mapping the Moon Before Galileo · · Score: 1

    By the way, Galileo wasn't "Florentine": he was born in Pisa, not in Florence!
