The point is to give everyone a digitally-signed copy of their OWN PHOTO. If a thief gets his hand on that, it won't help him unless he looks just like me. That's the point.
When they say "encrypted," do they actually mean digitally signed? Being able to provide a digitally signed (by a government key) passport photo in a machine-readable form would be good for security.
But simply encrypting the message with a symmetric key (as seems indicated by the blurb) would be bad for security, because many people would have the key, and so it would provide a false sense of security.
Proof? I thought science was about skepticism. But "the results give us a high degree confidence in the accuracy of the dark matter theory" doesn't make headlines, I guess.
What about my new power source where you build a generator on top of a mountain, then tie ropes to boulders and push them down the mountain to spin the generator?
THAT doesn't fit any of your categories! What do you think of that, smart guy?
The REAL solution is to update the software to be case insensitive. And for people who are happy with using old software, they can use old keyboards, too.
When the company being investigated drops in price because of panic selling, a smart investor does the math and finds what the worst possible fine could be. He then realizes a PE of 9 for a growing company is absurd, buys a huge amount at the discount, then sells when the headlines go away and the stock goes back to normal price.
The only (new) people who lose are the fradulent executives and the panic sellers.
So... Scientists can't explain how the universe works, without appealing to a mysterious phenomenon they can't observe and whose nature they cannot describe except in terms of its supposed secondary effects?
And this is different from believing in God... how, exactly?
How about: because there is evidence to suggest it exists. That's entirely different from believing in magic.
Seeing something move as if it is being pulled by gravity, and knowing that gravity is only known to come from matter, then conluding that there must be matter (or more fundamental theories are wrong) is called logic.
Your post is the worst attempt at "journalism" I have ever sean. Not only did you fail to sensationalize the issue, but you actually managed to spin the story in anti-sensational way. I hope you don't plan to have a career in media, because you have no chance.
In fact, your post is downright anti-social. If people let these "facts" get in the way of the real truthiness, the "us-vs-them" mentality of the American people could vanish, putting an end to popular support of war and the congressional-military-insustrial-media complex itself! Where would this country be if we didn't spend one fifth of our income funding wars and debts on past wars? Clearly, War is what Jesus wants, or he would not have miracled GWB into office. How dare you defy the One True God with your "facts!"
It doesn't matter if it is popular. It is a FACT that humans are the only species capable of spreading life off earth, and that humans are the only species capable of saving earth from many cosmic disasters.
To anyone who cares about this amazing phenomenon we call "life," it is obvious that humans are the only species that really matter.
Sorry, but the american indians were a bit short-sighted. This planet is the property of h.sapiens. Life itself is doomed unless humans manage to take it to other planets. Life on this planet is doomed unless humans learn how to change this planet to compensate for solar fluxuation. The american indians were worse than most other primitive cultures in their tendency to anthropomorphize. That is a naieve way to view the universe.
Ignorant? I assume if you had a tail or something, you would have noted so. Based on your post, it is not ignorant to assume as such.
Conform? Bah. All the world's a stage. You have poor acting skills for somone in the top 1% of IQ. If you know group X will pick on you if you do action Y, that doesn't mean you can't do action Y. It means that if you care about being picked on, you fool group X in to thinking you don't do action Y.
You contradict yourself by saying "not being picked on is was not a priority" after complaining about being picked on.
You can call me a troll if you like, but I don't think that word means what you think it means.
I was perhaps the geekiest person at my school. I was fantastically excited to get my 1200bps modem. My close friends and I set up coax LANs on computers running Linux. I wrote my first TCP/IP app at age 16. I also made out with more girls than I can count and was quite popular.
Did I conform? No. I was still a geek. I just identified what I wanted, and acted rationally to get it.
It is demonstratably possible to do well academically without being ridiculed. Obviously, you were doing something else that was socially incompatible with your group, but you have failed to identify it.
If you really have an IQ of 150, you should have been smart enough to figure out how to manipulate the dumb kids who picked on you.
It also strikes me as odd that a super-intelligent person would need to try to understand the world through a supernatural perspective.
I'm curious as to which test gave you that score and who administered it.
An intelligent person would think things like: "People pick on me when I dress like this. I don't want people to pick on me. Therefore, I will not dress like this."
Substitute "dress like this" for "act like that," "talk about that subject," etc. Now you know how to handle life with twits. Save your real personality for those who are not twits.
Anything that doesn't require original, creative thought IS acting like a robot! 90+% of jobs are of this type. The only reason most jobs still exist is because the robotics haven't been perfected YET.
This card has a smaller packet/frame (IP? ethernet? both?) size. It also tripple-sends every packet, so that if a packet is lost, its replacement gets to the game server without having to wait for the "where the hell is packet X?" packet to get back to your gaming rig.
Also, becuase it is upgradable, perhaps they intend to release certain optimizations for the most popular games?
I looked at some of these a while ago. Zimbra has one of the coolest demos. But many of these severely (or completely) lack documentation, which means they are not ready for anything but "mom's basement, no deadline" type projects.
This stuff is really exciting, but until there is documentation, it is not worth mentioning at work.

Ah, selective memory... I can't remember it ever failing me.
Testing viruses should be done on an air-gap network with no removable drives. How hard could that be?

As the only form of life that understands genetics, there is NO WAY the random mutations of evolution could ever catch up with us.

He is the only Star Trek character to ever make his own Linux distro. Give him some credit.

Patrick Stewart would be displeased by this misleading headline.
What do you mean "acts like robots?"
Anything that doesn't require original, creative thought IS acting like a robot! 90+% of jobs are of this type. The only reason most jobs still exist is because the robotics haven't been perfected YET.
Did you ever consider that searches that seem to be related to planning murder are just as likely to be searches for writing a novel about murder?

If you're going through a router with any kind of load, it will add unpredictable delays of its own.
Any crypto that relies on the timing of packets is going to have this problem, because IP makes no promises about packet timing (or even order!).
One... Two... FIVE!
