Tested? They compared fly population levels to zebra stripe quantities. The study in this article could have just as easily determined that stripes cause fly populations to increase! The 1981 study actually did tests with different colored dummies and checked which ones had more flies attracted to it.
Zebra stripes have traditionally been thought of as an adaptation against detection by vertebrate predators such as lions and hyaenas. A different hypothesis is suggested: that the stripes are an adaptation against visually orienting biting flies and act by obliterating the stimulus presented by a large dark form, which is important in host-finding by many Diptera. This hypothesis is supported by some indirect evidence, and by a field experiment in Zimbabwe in which biting fly catches were compared on moving and stationary black, white and striped models. Striped models caught significantly fewer tsetse (Glossina morsitans) Westwood and other flies (including tabanids) than solid black or white models, but this difference was much reduced in the presence of olfactory attractants.
My biggest complaint is that the A connector is the perfect width to fit into an ethernet port and short out the the network card. This can become really annoying on laptops that have the usb and ethernet ports right next to each other.
The brain is actually pretty adaptive. There are devices on the market that allow blind people to "see" by placing electrodes on their tongues. The power is so small the wearer doesn't feel it, but after a while starts to perceive objects in front of them (captured by a camera and fed to the electrode).
I don't know, the extra utility just may offset the frustration of trying to describe the new color to everyone who finds out. It would be like trying to describe green to someone who's only ever seen combinations of red and blue.
Please stop spreading the vaccine-autism bullshit. It's been consistently debunked and was only ever supported by a single flawed study that a celebrity took charge of spreading to scare parents out of vaccinating their children.
This publicity can't possibly be worse than the publicity they would get if the public though costco was playing lose with food safety. People would be afraid to shop there and they would lose a LOT of customers.
I'm going to guess it's the containers that are leaking. Typically when the oil comes out of the peanut butter, they refer to it as "separation" (even written like that right on the jar).
FreeBSD is pretty close with its jail system. You can read-only null-mount directories between guests (or the host) from the host side, share libraries and files while also setting separate IP addresses (makes firewalling easier if nothing else) and setting rigorous hardware access rules for each guest.
FreeBSD also does something similar with its jail system. It's not quite a full VM, but you can still assign dedicated IP addresses and have a separate filesystem (or null-mount the existing one inside of it).
"However, the app didn’t validate those connections, so users’ financial information was exposed during transmission." - This is false, the channel was still encrypted, but it is possible for an MTM attack to occur. Now if the client knows who it is talking too (IP Address) with some messages exchanged in the application layer, then SSL verification may not be needed.
No. If your verification is done on a separate layer from your encryption, then you are doing it wrong. This in no way prevents a MITM attack at all. All you need to do is get between them (wifi, arp poison, dns redirect, etc), MITM the ssl, then you can pass the "verification" right through while reading all of the "encrypted" information as it passes. You can also wait for the verification to succeed, then start screwing with the data because the verification is not connected to the encryption (which is also your integrity validation).
The real purpose of SSL cert validation is to authenticate who you are talking too - if you know you want to talk to server 10.10.10.10, then someone would have to subvert the routing protocols to intervene.
Subverting is easy if you are on the same lan as them (public internet, business LAN, separate infected machine in their home, etc). How many people use their banking apps at public access points because their data plan is too expensive so they set LAN to "auto"?
And even with Cert validation, there are ways to conduct a MTM attack if that is turned on - NG firewalls and other SSL decryption corporate tools do it all the time if the users machine or phone has a custom issuing cert installed.
Riiiight, because secretly installing a 3rd party certificate on someone else's PHONE is easier than arp poisoning the wifi at McDonald's.
Chip+pin is NOT tap-to-pay. Chip+pin is the system where you have to physically insert your card into the machine (where metal contacts talk to the chip) and then enter a pin that is verified by the chip.
Tap-to-pay is a whole other system whichI personally do not like and am disapointed that it is impossible to get a card without it in Canada (I've checked with multiple places).
What needs to happen is end to end encryption, the card reading device needs to be a self contained device that encrypts the transaction right away and pass that information on to the credit card processing people, instead of the card data being placed on a computer in between the reader and the processing center
Actually no. The new chip+pin cards are actually smartcards that do their own processing on the card itself. I recommend doing some research before spouting false information about the chips being glorified memory cards.
All this despite the fact that chip+pin is just as vulnerable as swipe+sign, and nobody here wants it except the banks.
Got a citation for that? I'm not claiming chip+pin is perfect, but it's a HELL of a lot better than a magnetic stripe you can read with a damned tape recorder head.
Poop contains stored energy so has already been counted. If you want to write it that way, it has to be "Energy In + food in > Energy out + food out" but that's just silly.
The wallet does not contain discreet coins. A wallet is basically a private key with a value assigned to it. When someone pays you, the global leger says "the value went up by X". The inverse happens when you pay someone else. It's akin to a bank balance in that the bank doesn't keep your coins and someone else's coins separate, so there is no "your oldest coin". The closest thing would be "the most recent time when your wallet went from "0" to "greater than "0".
It is for this specific reason that I personally don't see how they can declare it a "property" because there are no unitary things (even virtual) that were assigned to you or given away by you, your number on the ledger simply got bigger or smaller. Contrast this with bonds where you actually have specific traceable bonds that are each their own entity with fluctuating values. You cannot sell "half a bond". When you buy a bond, you *receive* a bond, you don't simply have your bond-count go up.
Don't quit your day job, but in your time off (nights, weekends) improve your skill and work on an open-source Java project.
I actually highly recommend this. If you can put a well known open source project on your resume, that will definitely get the attention of employers. With proprietary software (previous jobs, etc), the potential employer cannot try it out for free, see your contributions to the project or check out the quality of your code. With open source projects they can do all of the above (or at the very least know that they could if they wanted to). It also shows that your work has been accepted by a community on its own merits which is a lot more convincing than "I wrote a module for some application you'll never get to try".
I've actually had my open source contributions (not code in this case) commented on during interviews.
We have less helium for 2 reasons. 1) The US military is hoarding it 2) we are not using as much natural gas (of which helium is a byproduct). If helium becomes important and scarce enough, we CAN make more. There just isn't any point right now.

Maybe people studying zebras should start by reading the zebra wikipedia page.

Probably by putting it in the wrong location. Acupuncture supposed works by targeting specific points in the body.

It was reported (yesterday?) that Turkey has also starting IP banning Twitter. Citizens must now use tunnels (VPN, Tor, etc) to get to it.
I'm not saying to omit your paid job experience, but that having open source contributions listed on your resume can give you serious boost.

I always considered "visual mode" to be part of command mode.
Intel's also does not make powerful graphics cards anywhere near as fast as amd or nvidia.
