Good question, and you have to be careful, but it still doesn't invalidate the technique.
Invalidate, no. Set the limits into evidence and prove that the statement "the technique is always valid" is false: yes... (unless you want to discuss the "True Scotsman" fallacy as well).
True. But that's my point - one trap of the "thorough search" and "statistical/risk assessment" approach (vs "actual evidence of the absence") as a base to one's decision: when is the thorough search thorough enough?
Repeat after me: the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence
True, but absence of evidence after a thorough search can give you certainty with P >.97
Belief without evidence is called faith and not just in matters of religion.
Or... cowboy project (risk) management? (as in: one doesn't understand how the things work but... no matter.. one does have nice statistic charts handy).
Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm the other guy who both reads slashdot and gets that joke;-)
Pleased to meet you.
Just from curiosity... u still remember how to have a distorted view, see through baby blue? ('cause I'm only smokin' nowadays even though, yo mama, I never smoke in pajamas).
Which is why you should pay me for unicorn insurance.
Where did I say anything about unicorns?
Just because you haven't heard of any attacks, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. With their pointy, pointy horns.
That's true. And will continue to be so until someone will come with a positive proof about the impossibility of unicorns or the impossibility of unicorns to harm anyone. With the note this is an argument neither for nor against unicorn insurances.
Do we have credible reports of someone actually being killed because of hacking? The media and politicians for the last few years have been hyping the hell out of the hacker menace and the "cyber" war but no one is even providing any body counts
(in other words: what incentive do I have to move my ass in a movie theater chair or buy it on disk?)
Large civil fines ensure you'll always be bankrupt. Anything over $10,000 can't be discharged in the US; Not sure about Canada, but I suspect a similar limitation. Any significant assets you own will be seized. You won't be able to own a car worth more than a few grand, you'll never own a house; You'll be renting forever. Your wages will be garnished to ensure you are never able to acquire anything of value, or pay for your own health insurance (thank god you live in canada!). You will never receive another tax refund. Certain career choices will be unavailable to you, including anything in the government that requires a security clearance, work in the finance industry, or anything involving the handling of money or "crimes of trust." You may be denied a passport or visa, and will likely be unable to immigrate to any other country due to your debt (believe it or not, your credit report does matter when it comes to naturalization, just like any trouble with the law, even civil law). You will be summoned to court on a very regular basis to detail your financial situation to your debtors (the entertainment companies), and should you fail to show for any reason including being in a coma in a hospital, a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest. You will stay in jail for weeks to months until a hearing can be rescheduled. You will likely lose your job many times over the course of your life, and custody of your kids (if you have any).
So there's your incentive.
No, those are disincentives. Since I've done nothing wrong, however you can't just wait to punish me, I'll tell you what I do: completely ignore your merchandise and never do any business with you.
Think twice: a significant number of others may start thinking like me.
People should think twice about downloading content they know isn't proper
If the content is improper for viewing when pirated, how can one imagine obtaining it from a legit source would make it proper?
(in other words: what incentive do I have to move my ass in a movie theater chair or buy it on disk?)
That's exactly what I was thinking. If the pilots rotated out every hour or whatever then nobody would get bored. It's idiotic to force the same couple of people in to a 24 hour mission of sitting there doing nothing. What did they think would happen?!
What do you think will happen?
Predator cost per unit: $4.03 mil (in 2010)
Operational costs - for operating one for border surveillance double that. For operating it non-stop (every hour of the year): multiply by 7 ($28.5 mil) - same 2010.
But does every single budget item and all tax policies and rates need to be on the table and without any sacred cows? HELL YES. And then the specific choices should be wise ones.
Without firm specifics at hand, I still feel very confident that there is 3% of utterly useless fat that could be trimmed from science funding. That's all we're talking about here.
Well, if you are so confident on year after year budgets, please compute what percentage the US research budget will be after 10 years of 3%/pa "fat reduction".
into armed conflict by private banks, who, through their monetary policy are exerting undue political influence on the White House. It matters not which party sits in power, they have very little choice but to do what they are doing.
Armed conflicts? You mean... like those toxic home loans offered to people that couldn't ever repay them?
I'd rather say this is the victory of the "basic human right to credit" over the research. If this is the American dream, I'd say "Wake up, people. It's a nightmare".
Chances are they will be very disappointed by whatever group consensus you will get from Slashdot, which will probably be some Linux based 10 year old shoebox computer running Steam beta...
Yep, 5 comments up "Use Steam and a Linux Box"...sigh.

Too bad you need the shit they export in huge quantities, eh?
Well played, but I'd like to point out that my family does not own a car - we go around mostly by bike or walking (I commute to work by bicycle every workday, even in winter). etc
Congrats. Other than that, words play, nothing implied at the personal level.
Aerosolised oil might ignite merely with the heat, same way a diesel engine ignites without a spark, so it may not help.
It will happen if you adiabatically increase the atmospheric pressure around the pot at a compression ratio over 14:1 or you use fuels to deep fry the bird or just slowly raise the temperature of the pot to the point of it glowing-red
Cooking oil * flash point (emits fumes capable of ignition by an external source): over 200C * autoignition point (no open flame present): over 400C - iron glows deep red, visible in the dark.
Why do people feel the need to sin on festive occasions??
Umm... because that's what they're for?;-)
By wasting vodka, the sinner denies oneself an enhanced or prolonged period of pleasure. Well, this should act as a punishment for the sin, but... are you quite sure the festive seasons are meant for punishment?

Clearly, the hackers are the new primates.
? Clearly your search wasn't very thorough.
True. But that's my point - one trap of the "thorough search" and "statistical/risk assessment" approach (vs "actual evidence of the absence") as a base to one's decision: when is the thorough search thorough enough?
Other than this... ummm... my search?
she had to singe and destroy her olfactory nerves
thus rendered dead to the sense of smell, she was able to continue to function while embedded in the community
All good and dandy, but... is she married?
(grin)
Repeat after me: the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence
True, but absence of evidence after a thorough search can give you certainty with P > .97
Apropos your reply and your signature: home prices never go down, right? 'Cause it was > 0.97 certain before 2008.

Nope. For awesome, it should wear boots and you gotta believe me, I tell you no lies.

Then see how long 'til China overtakes US, given that 2011 saw China's R&D budget increasing 9.2% on a year-to-year basis.

Just sayin'
Better put... not only Faux New is corrupt, it's a scrooge as well.
Sigh, it's sad when people are referring to Atari owners as grandfathers.
Why, you don't have grandkids yet?

Well, they usually involve the mother in law in some capacity. So, yeah. ;-)
Well, this is another one among the things vodka cures or makes bearable :) (may gods protect you from russian mother-in-laws)
Umm ... because that's what they're for? ;-)
