Notice that my blog address is in my username profile and it matches my link. I posted as AC cause i couldnt remember my password, then i remembered, and reposted my comment so i would get my user + 1. You can look my up nick up on metafilter, fark , and fazed if your really that bored.
And i get a loads of comment spam that use keywords similar
to the spam words that the wordpress website was hosting.
I wonder if the wordpress website maintainer has aided
the creation of spam bots to identify worpress users and post
on thier sites using weaknesses of the default install.
Mining the moon, among other things, may provide an excellent return on our investment in the program. Moon resources could even provide the funding for the program in the future.
Imagine the economic boost to our country if it had a ten year head start on mining operations. Like the US, China has alot of gas tanks to fill, and light bulbs to power. They have clearly stated thier intention to use the moon for its energy resources begining in the near future.
Our inbox mirrors our daily life.(even the penis enlarger ads[enzyte]). 3000 commercial messages a day are rammed into the average persons head wether they like it or not. Adbusters argues that our mental environment is becoming polluted. "information pollution" has been a focus of their "mental environmentalism" since '89.
A better definition from Nielson:
"Excessive word count and worthless details are making it harder for people to extract useful information. The more you say, the more people tune out your message."
A graphical OS chip eliminates the need for a marketing manager to possess a certification in C++ or other programming languages to develop the GUI. Rather, all that is needed is a PC, a commonplace text editor, and perhaps even the most basic and widely available graphics programs, such as Microsoft Paint.

"The researchers hope that they can create a robust, distributed network that could essentially act as a secure storage system for the Internet. Governments, institutions and businesses worldwide could theoretically choose to place their data in the secure system, which would minimize the effects of outage or attack."
This seems it would reduce an individual entity's loss to an attack with the idea of, everyone loses a little rather than one losing alot. But it also seems, even though the details in this article are lacking, that physical security of boxes would become more important.
Should the british goverment, a university, and whoever else, trust a small buisness in san diego to house its part data.
the only way this would work from a security stand point would be to make the information that is spread out over 50 or so computers not accessible from the machine its hosted in on.
and it seems this would be pretty much impossible(er.. hackerd00ds) from a purely software approach....
There'll never be another me (unless I get cloned for some reason), thank gawd (jk)
Actually my point was that even if you clone yourself, it would be created at a different moment thus have a differnt existence/experience thus be unique.
And I guess I was trying to say what the author of the book says through out it:
There will never be another homo sapiens sapiens... , but there's no reason to believe there aren't a multitude of other species Completely different from us.
wait, thats my point... weren't we argueing somehting? oh well, twinkie time.
Its about these same ants & thier domination in cerain areasin the US. In argentina there is twice the genetic diversity as in California, probably same ratio to this supercolony too. This species apparently has developed the ability to take advantage of whats called a genetic bottle neck; something that to most species is detrimental.
It seems thier so succesfull they are killing off local ant species 10 times thier size, which is in turn killing off lizards and such that feed on those ants. Evolutions a bitch, eh?
"The smaller object is about 300 metres (1,000 feet) in diameter and is orbiting the larger asteroid every 42 hours at a distance of 2.6 kilometres (1.6 miles). The two asteroids appear to be locked in synchronous rotation, with the smaller always with the same face turned towards to the larger."
it may be a loose conection, but our moon is also locked in synchronous rotation, and was once part of earth. How the moon was created is still not exactly known. Couldn't the earth passing very close to the sun, early in the life of the solar sytem, have caused a simalr effect?
from NASA"Also, STS-110 spacewalkers will install the Mobile Transporter, which will later be attached to a base system that will allow the station's robotic arm to ride along the truss to perform assembly and maintenance work"
Basically this is to allow automated construction of the IIS as it grows in size. That site also mentions they are installing a new expansion hub,to which new modules are attached (maybe by the robotic arm)
"The CD will probably cause a system to crash, but it will not alter anything,"
How is crashing a system "not altering" it?
Looks like we may be seeing the begining of trend towards destructive copy protection.
I have a friend who is a drummer in a band just entering th professional scene. This is exactly what I was looking for to steer(sp?) him away from aiming at a big record contract toward alternative approaches to becoming a successful and widely heard musican.
I think the reason for this is not a physical mutation but rather a change in the brain. When a musician trains his fingers, amount of neurons dedicated to each finger grows larger and more distinct, so he can control each one with more exactness. Its a simple matter of the kids using their thumbs so much, and that more grtey matter is dedicated to the movement of the thumb, it is then more efficient to us the thumb for other tasks(like pointing, and ringing doorbells).
for human computer interfaceing, there is a more direct method for gathering movement information: These guys at Brown University have gotten this information from a monkey by monitoring very few neurons directly in the brain(I as few as 20).
Looks like the monkey are always going to be one step ahead of us:)

I turned my comments of for awhile as well, but i found a plugin that does a decent job of stopping the spam.
Its called wp-hashcash.
It forces a comment poster to compute an md5 hash sum using javascript, a capability which almost all bots don't have, and its invisible to users.
you do realize that Q1 and Q3 could be answered in less than 5 seconds by anyone with knowledge of how to properly query google.
running time for quicksort: second result has answer
powers of 2: first result has answer.

no, Since this is obviously amazingly unlikely to ever occur again, you have therefore proved that you are unique and special
just like the human species

here's a picture of the ants pattern of spread so far across the US

The fact that very few have gotten this is makeing me feel old.
