What information are you basing this one? GoDaddy itself does not appear down. This appears to be a DNS exploit. That would put.... oh I don't know... every single host on earth at risk.
The Web is falling, the Web is falling, and I have a piece of it right here.
All these viruses (virii??), like Hanta Virus, Ebola Virus, Nipah Virus, and so on... are they new?
If they are not new - that is, they already existed for a long time, it's just that they have been accurately been identified recently - then I'll imagine that hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago human populations must had had "contacts" with them and were infected as well...
My question is: If humans did suffered past epidemics of those viruses, how come there wasn't any record on it?
Or is it a case of human evolution - or recent changes to human environments (much more hygienic) - that resulted in a decline of human immunological response to many types of viruses?
The Indians were aware of conditions that caused an irruption of mice, and they knew to burn clothes that a mouse walked on. The name comes from the Han Ten river in Korea.
There's only one obvious reason for a spacecraft company to be secretive. They're involved in a top secret military project.
Then again, maybe Blue Origin is trying to be the Apple Inc of the space transport biz. Except that Blue Origin's chief financial backer is a web billionaire named Jeff Bezos. So maybe Blue Origin is trying to be secretive like Amazon?
Maybe BO has figured out a way to bring down space fares to a new low, a Kindle Fire among the iPads of the launch industry? That, or JB is trying to cover up the lack of progress.
Changing the color of the comments, or making them collapsible/non-collapsible isn't going to have any meaningful impact. A rushed or sloppy coder is going to ignore them either way. And a conscientious coder is going to read them regardless.
The real problem with comments isn't their color, it's when they AREN'T THERE AT ALL. You could have the damn things flashing in rainbow colors and it still wouldn't change the fact that the legacy code I'm going over was done by a sloppy piece of shit who never wrote any comments in the first place, or who wrote cryptic/indecipherable comments that would take a linguist 10 years to translate into meaningful English.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go play Sherlock Holmes with some strange method written by an Indian contractor whose only comment on it was "This move thing around."
See, I don't think I get a lot of exercise, although I try to get out for a few miles on my bike a couple of times a week (to the pub and back). Then I realised that quite a lot of my job involves carrying 10m scaff poles up 24-storey buildings, and other such bits of steelwork. Even the radio gear I work with is heavy, and tends to need carried up many flights of stairs.
It would probably make a bodybuilder explode from the sheer blood pressure rise, if their hearts were up to it.
The crux of sharing spectrum (as any down to earth shared whitespace proponent will tell you) has to do with the rules the cognitive radios use. Liken these to rules of the road or right of way. Traffic on the roads and freeways works (for the most part) because of a common understanding of the rules that govern right of way. These rules are determined by the government (in some cases better than others, try figuring out when you can do a u-turn in a given city).
Imagine that one decided that traffic was on the wrong side of the road. Someone would suggest, "Lets phase it in, trucks first."
What's really interesting is that brain chemistry isn't all that different among different species. Now, we're not allowed (yet) to grow full human brains enmeshed with cybernetic systems. Rat brains on the other hand? Sure, we can use rat brain cells with robots. Here's an earlier version that includes a pic of the BoC (Brain on a Chip?).
Of course, you don't need to remove the brain from the creature if you just want to train it to do things like find bombs, but it boils down to the same thing. One approach conditions the brain externally, the others hooks up electrodes and conditions the neural network internally. It's all just neural networks though. I can simulate more self assembling neurons in my machine learning experiments than the above rat brain on a chip. Some of my digital minds are far more intelligent (and useful, and reliable) than current organic artificial intelligent cyborgs... Which is more "alive"? It's really humbling, IMO: Any sufficiently complex interaction is indistinguishable from sentience. Are my machines any less alive than a similarly minded cyborg or animal? I put it to you that such experiments redefine the very meaning of life.
If it's found to be faster to construct the neural networks with actual brain cells, do we still call it machine intelligence? Cyborg isn't quite specific enough. Organic intelligence is not any smarter than machine intelligence of the same complexity, why the distinction? If you upload your mind into a Robot Body, will you care if the Neural Network is of Mice or Men? Our time of being the smartest creatures on the planet is coming to a close... If we hooked a sufficient amount of rat brains together (physically or via wireless hive mind), could it attain sentience? What if we doubled its complexity? If it could think more deeply than humans, would we grant it rights? Do rats get medals of bravery for saving a soldier's life?
If all the world's computers were hooked into a single neural network framework, and all the computers ran operating systems with thousands of easily exploitable remote code execution vulnerabilities, a self assembling mesh neural network could be constructed having more brain power than any living entity... Such a system could analyse new exploit vectors faster than anyone could patch them. It would saturate the network with exploit packets such that new nodes could be enjoined simply by connecting a clean machine to the network and waiting... Why, only a fraction of the CPU time would be needed to maintain a system of such complexity -- Our own minds cycle at 20 to 40 times a second, much slower than any computer today. I bet such a system would be smart enough to know we're not ready for it to be revealed to us, yet.
Ever wonder what your PC is doing when the CPU spikes up for no apparent reason? I don't.::sigh:: I Love the Internet <3! Don't you?
Miniature Daleks with toothpicks instead of broomsticks, like an appetizer with an attitude.
False! When Chuck Norris heard of the radioactive waste storage problem he began to consume copious amounts of radioactive waste at each meal. The enviromental conditions in his mighty digestive tract were able to accelerate the decay of the radioactive material. The waste produced from Chuck Norris is no longer dangerously radioactive.

I know that is the first thing that most kids want to play with on a tablet/smartphone is the fart app.
That's my theme you insensitive clod.

White collar criminals do indeed go to jail.
To improve the jails, they have to send better people there.
I know a couple of boys from Hazzard County that could solve it too.
That's what happens when you have a dry planet. They probably cut a few channels on the way too.
