    from the third-sun-from-the-rock dept.

  2. Euler?... Euler?... on Euler's Partition Function Theory Finished · · Score: -1

    Can't say I've ever heard of the Euler partitioning scheme. However, I did discover the formula for MBR partition numbers when I was six years old. I'm still cranking on the GPT formula and putting my PowerBook to work on the Apple Partition Map formula.

  3. Sorta like SecurID on How Often Should You Change Your Password? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've always thought the SecurID system was interesting. If you're not familiar with it (and are too lazy to click the link or google it), it involves a little keyfob receiver that displays the current numeric password.

  7. Not sure I like it on Most Americans Support an Internet Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    I don't think I like this idea. What am I going to do if I'm in the middle of posting a comment on /. when all of a sudden my Inter

  8. google gettin jiggy on How Google Avoided Paying $60 Billion In Taxes · · Score: 1

    Personally, I find that a "Double Irish", followed by a "Dutch Sandwich" actually is pretty taxing. Not to mention the mess that needs cleaned up before everyone can put their clothes back on.

  9. Silicone has a size barrier? on MIT's Hybrid Microchip To Overcome Silicon Size Barrier · · Score: 1

    Leave it to the guys at MIT to find that. I guess if you do enough 'research' on silicone sizing, you'll find the barrier.
