    I think they used the automated pilot because the human pilot had still not completely fully recovered from his hangover ,)

  5. reminds me of a huckleberry finn quote on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I believe the quote goes more or less like this...

    "When I was 18 I hated my father... I thought he was the stupidest old man that ever lived. When I became 21 I was amazed at how much the old man had grown in just 3 short years."

    granted it's not a cara analogy, it'll do (but I am sure some kind soul can turn that into a car analogy :)

    the answer is 42 :)

  7. Re:How is it different from what other frameworks on Kaminsky Offers Injection Antidote · · Score: 1

    i know I am replying to myself... but I don't really see why I was marked as offtopic for saying the summary is wrong by saying this is a brand new way to prevent SQL injections... many existing frameworks have offered SQL injection filters/remedies... as well as rogue javascript protection through many ways including parametrized queries.someone must have woken up on the wrong side of bed this morning :).

  8. How is it different from what other frameworks do? on Kaminsky Offers Injection Antidote · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    don't really know this particular framework... but a lot of them offer some sort of XSS & SQL injection protection ... how is it ground breaking ?

  13. heck do that to meditation guru thiefs too :) on High-Tech Burglars May Get Longer Sentences In Louisiana · · Score: 1

    if they go in meditation sessions before... that counts as pre-meditation :)

  14. no big deal, really on How CDNs and Alternative DNS Services Combine For Higher Latency · · Score: 1

    most people don't actually care about DNS... they use the dhcp provided dns server from their ISP and don't even know how to fiddle with it... heck a lot don't even know what DNS is and will say, "DNS yourself, stop cursing :)"

    let's assume for a minute that ads are less relevant... not really a big deal... because those are more likely tech savvy people (or friends of tech savvy people) who are more likely to install extensions such as adblock and get rid of ads alltogether.

    plus there is the obvious for advertisers... if it is not really reliable, well don't use it, find other ways to geolocate your guy :)

  16. makes me wonder on Glaxo Open Sources Malaria Drug Search Data · · Score: 2, Interesting

    _ how much data is released about the drugs? (it's one thing to say this drug is made of this, another to release all necessary information)
    _ what drugs are released (is it really the most up to date stuff or is it the drugs that didn't work 15 years ago and are about to go in the public domain anyway)

  19. what's the use for this anyway? on Europeans Bury "Digital DNA" Inside a Mountain · · Score: 1

    for one, I highly doubt that documentation for existing format will disappear, especially in an increasingly connected world where digital versions of documentations allow copying multiple times of that documentation in a perfect way in many different location... this is better-and-more-redundant-than-raid storage.

    further, let's suppose that some catastrophe destroys the file format spec... well there is a high probability that the data will be destroyed too

    even further... I highly doubt that the same brilliant minds that dwelve in the crypto analysis realm would not be able to reverse engineer simple formats if it came to that.

    further, the library would be obsolete if it is not continuously updated

    now, having multiple redundant copies of the library of congress (and other countries equivalents) at several locations (including file format), continuously being updated, that's something we could strive for... especially since storage is becoming cheaper. we just need to make sure it is stored on a durable storage medium

    ideally we'd include storage somewhere off the planet, that way even if a disaster messed up all our archive on earth, future generations would be able to retrieve it

    for now :)

    seriously standard designer know those limits are going to crop up... and that applies to hard disk space as well as ram. why can't they design around those limits where the limit would be variable. some people say it will waste some space/ cause performance problems... not necessarily.

  23. Re:Logic circuits from DNA... on Researchers Create Logic Circuits From DNA · · Score: 1

    well as long as they don't get windows ported to the DNA processor, we should be fine. but I guess it wouldn't suck as much as having OSX ported to DNA... you'd have to have AT&T be your carrier (would that be in human term be a wheel chair?)... unless you jailbrake... but wouldn't that get into matrix like scenarios? maaan, sounds like a crazy problem potentially, what could potentially go wrong?

  25. Re:Public IPs at premium prices on Black Market May Develop For IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    my provider uses 10.* addresses there therefore I had to change the addressing scheme on my LAN because I didn't want stuff routed accidentally... pisses me off... I'm sure more and more providers will do that... and that's accidents waiting to happen.

    Ahhh, I long for the days when a private address was garanteed to be private. why don't they switch already to ipv6... it's been 15 years. I know it will irk some people but it's stable enough and it's about time... and as time passes it's going to get harder because people will be more dependent on the internet.

    Most OSs & routers are compatible... I say it's time to require the change... give people a 6 month warning and switch... should be plenty of time to address most issues
