After reading a bit on the referenced exploit((CVE-2011-3544) I find it hard to believe that the app was all in memory. The exploit involves and unsigned applet gaining higher privileges. Things may have changed since the last time I checked, but shouldn't the jar file for the applet that copied the DLL into memory be the new file sitting the the browser cache that you're looking for? The DLL could retroactively delete the trace but at some point the jar is what the anti-virus should be looking for since it has to be loaded before the DLL can be.
Why would I want base to be Access? Access has poor threading, no bigint support, tighter field restrictions then other databases(ms sql 1024, access 255), and is a pain to get it to talk nicely to non MS products. Base is little more useful than the MS Works Database, plays with a wider verity of different databases nicely, and gives more flexibility for people who don't want to program in VB for Applications which isn't even as good as VB.net.
My wife is a linguist and much of the summary sounds like stuff she learned in her classes. The only major thing that sounds new is that he has put a large portion of Google's scans through a computational linguistics algorithm to put hard numbers to what they already believe. I know a lot of Computational Linguists come from other fields out side of traditional linguistics, but if this guy has become a computational linguists I would think it would be more appropriate to label him as one instead of what he has his phd in.
Yea they adopt this method which is what results in the Higgs being almost found withing a 95% certainty then vanishing. The method Psychologists use is not the scientific method, but rather a statistical method used only when the scientific method cannot be used properly. It is prone to statistical error. I've seen lots of statistical method papers that toss out data for absurd reasons like this circumcision study didn't use a placebo so I can toss it out. The statistical method allows data to be selected by the experimenter where in the scientific method data is king and trumps theory and hypothesis. Statistical modeling is only useful when you have no other option.
So did it just occurred to them to look at the data now? ICARUS has weighted in before on this but this is the first time they have a speed measurement, and they are saying it's from the prior runs data. Since the argument was always over the speed of the neutrino and not whether or not the neutrino was emitting the expected radiation if it was going FTL I would have expected them to look at the speed measurement first.
We'll at least see in May what the mass of the neutrino really is rather than leaving it the the Non-Zero mass.
Come on. All he did was post a link to a related xkcd comic. He didn't say anything about it being right or wrong. It's related, and funny. Would you rather have had someone do a standard first post troll instead?
We're nearing the end of a console cycle that was extended much longer then it normally has been. Some of this guys graphs even show it when you look over the last 30 years there is always a dip just as the market hits saturation and people are waiting for the next system to come out. What he is seeing is that dip coupled with a growing market. Consoles are dying in the same way the 8 bit, and 16 bit consoles died. Facebook and iOS games can be viewed as a bubble market right now as well. There are going to be a few that make money like Angry Birds, but they have to prove that they are long term profitable, and when it's proven that most of them will fail you'll see that market deflat. Minecraft is nice, but the entire decade the PC games have been dying Warcraft was still profitable. 1 or 2 very popular and profitable games won't revive the PC.
56 to 44 is nearly a 12 point gap. It really is a clear majority.
What you're thinking of is a Super Majority which would be 60% and higher. That is kinda rare even when people mostly agree. There will always be on or two details that end up killing a Super Majority.
I'm actually comparing the ridiculousness or requiring outlandish requirements to determine if something is dangerous or not. Anything that can temporarily alter brain function can permanently alter brain function.
If you wish to perform a double blind study to convince yourself go ahead. You'll run into an ethics issue long before its run. I suppose you don't believe Ebola is deadly ether because you can't do a double blind study to find out that it's lethal ether. They could have been bleeding to death before the virus ever go to them.
Not really. It's fools who've taken LSD and believe that any adverse side effects affect 100% of those who take it that perpetuate the belief that it is BS. If 44 people who've taken LSD and have persistent hallucinations and continue to have abnormal EEG patterns then it's a valid side effect.
About the Time the CIA was doing "tests" to see if it would work as a truth serum. I would bet that the study was probably just a cover to test LSD on people. Even if LSD worked the drawback of Flashbacks or Persistent Hallucinations would make it unusable. Now if LSD were the cure for cancer then persistent hallucinations would be acceptable.
I can tell you why they do that. I worked for Qwest back about about 8 - 10 years ago. First they make the assumptions that your Modem is smart enough not to route LAN traffic over a WAN interface. Bad assumption because most of them just route anything over the WAN that isn't on its LAN regarless if it's 192.168.0.x or 10.x.x.x. Then some novice admin thinks that it would be a good Idea to route Qwest Lan traffice over the Gateways so that they can run some network admin tools that are supposed to be available only on the Corporate LAN. If you know which IP on the LAN is the Radius server you'd get a nice batch of Username to IP addresses. I know this because I made a tool to scrape the Gateway Information out and look up the information using a radius log that was exposed though a grep web interface. It was supposed to only work on the Corporate Lan. At one point when debugging with different machines I put it on one of the Internet Only machines that were for testing purposes and Low and Behold I was shocked to find it working just fine. It should have run into DNS errors and then IP routing errors. I reported it to my boss and to corporate security, but when it finally got to the people who could fix it they said it's a non issue because consumer modems won't route those local addresses over the internet. From there I figure it spreads because when they get a new gateway the just randomly pick one of the existing gateways to clone, and if it's one that is setup to do local routing of 192.168.1.x then it will spread since the engineer wasn't looking at that part of the config file, and just changed which IP pool it was responsible for.
1-3ms on the first hop?
Unless I'm having a Lan problem the first hop is always 1ms
The second and 3rd should have the highest latency increase since you can have invisible hops in the physical network between you and your ISP. Depending on how the ATM or other network is configured it might add 20 ms or only 5 ms.
From there it should be a gradual increase at each hop.
A "test" server is probably hammered because it's a low end machine that's just there to test basic connectivity, and they direct a large number of people do "ping". They are essentially performing a DoS attack on their own test server.
A better test would be to do a trace route to google or yahoo and see how long that takes.
150 and less is decent to a server that's not being hammered, but latency for other things like Warcraft have additional things adding to it not just the connection so 300 is kinda high but not unexpected in some situations.

You never say person A beat person B by 6 cm/s you say person A beat person B by 6 seconds.

The real trick is getting the correct character encoding set on the OS prior to login.
Your video looks nothing like NASAs image
changes it from spherical to triangle (not sure where that came from)
Have you looked at the linked image? It's an outline of a triangle. Kinda looks like the Tri-Force put together.
No, but Klingon is.

Someone probably thought it was related to e-books, and in a way it probably does.

Toad Sweat
I always used "Mega Man Hard"
Even at 69 picowatts what's to stop you from setting up 10,000 LED's at shining them at a solar panel? Converting Heat to electricity would very nice.
Wouldn't the better option have been just wiping the Hard drive?
