That was my first thought when reading it, it depends on where you place the 'middle'.
If the middle is on the network of the hosting facility of the server that is being impersonated then this system will not work, especially not if it is installed very early (because then there will be no change to detect).
Well, it was actually told just like that (I only translated from dutch) by a guy called Max Tailleur who was one of the nicest - and very Jewish - comedians the Netherlands ever had. So, that's why I presented it as a Jewish joke, given the origin.
The Jewish culture is full of jokes and lots of it is about 'zelfspot', for which I don't have a proper translation in one word but which you could describe as the ability to laugh at oneself.
In nl as a rule people that are under suspicion but that have not been found guilty (yet) are identified by their initials or firstname and initial letter of lastname only.
This leads to some funny situations where *everybody* knows who we're talking about but still you only see the initials.
Moshe and Samuel meet up after not having seen each other since high school. The one arrives in a battered vw rabbit, the other is chauffeured in his Rolls.
"Samuel," says Moshe, "have you fallen on hard times ?"
"Oh, don't get me started, I am in the brush business, I steal the hair, I steal the wood, I steel the wire but I still can't seem to make them and turn a profit selling them".
"That's so sad, coincidence that we are both in the brush business".
"And you drive a Rolls ? What's your secret then ?"
I see this as yet another cisc-vs-risc war, intel will try to bolt this feature onto the cisc chip cores they already have and nvidia tries to make a chip that is lean and mean and can only do vector processing well.
The code compatibility issue is a lot less important here than it was in the past though, and with CUDA encroaching on what Intel sees as their territory I can see why they would 'strike back'.
I think that is in a good part fuelled by the disastrous last 8 of Tony Blairs rule.
There is a large amount of frustration in the countries surrounding England to be labelled 'british' because of the Iraq war and the poodle feeling and many people do not wish to be associated with this. (there is probably a just as large portion of the English public frustrated about this but they can't really become 'independent' of England now, can they ?).
Let me get that straight, if you can't solve a problem it's a bad problem ?
How would you feel then if someone else did solve the problem that you could not solve ? Is it still a poor puzzle then ?
I read what you are saying as 'I like sudoku, but only the simple ones because I'm not clever enough to hold more than a few permutations of it in my head'...

aka as the beginning of the end of real lego.
East coast bandwidth should be fastest in the USA, I'd be surprised if it was fastest in Guatemala.
you start simple and work your way up from there...

Common sense, alas is not all that common. In fact *anything* that you get from a third party is hearsay, and should be treated with caution.
Better yet, allow the party that was found to be not guilty to enter a suit claiming damages against anybody that distributed the information.
Trial by media is not the way to get a good judicial system.
Well, if the judges point was to stop people googling for them later in case they are found to be innocent then he has just achieved the opposite.
It wasn't always like that, but then again, there were fewer books then.
As the value of a bit goes down the signal to noise ratio will decrease and those in power will sleep better.
If you're going to make an exhaustive list of the origins of SF you should include HG Wells and Jules Verne.
No, he writes them, but otherwise you are quite correct ;)
The largest case of astroturfing ever.
someone here recently pointed out Charles Stross and his stuff is awesome.
I wasn't aware Debussy played baseball, but hey... learn a new thing every day.
reminds me of a jewish joke:

"Samuel," says Moshe, "have you fallen on hard times ?"
"Oh, don't get me started, I am in the brush business, I steal the hair, I steal the wood, I steel the wire but I still can't seem to make them and turn a profit selling them".
"That's so sad, coincidence that we are both in the brush business".
"And you drive a Rolls ? What's your secret then ?"
"I steal them whole...".
I think you got the words, but you missed the tone.

hehe, now *that* was even funnier :)
good point. What's your home address ?
This is one of those instances of problems being the same though the fields of application are far apart.
It's exactly why algorithm development is such an interesting field.
Now to get the sudoku programs to be accepted as general dependency solvers for package managers :)

that's so funny it should be illegal :)
Which, in fact it is:
