  1. Two words on Distinguishing Encrypted Data From Random Data? · · Score: 1

    Information entropy. In other words, yes.

  2. Re:You fail math forever on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 1

    I agree, but perhaps they're talking about the 2-quadrillionth binary digit. The 0 from b1,1110 is 'different' then the zero of d1,1110.

  3. Re:Um.. on Data Deduplication Comparative Review · · Score: 0, Troll

    Not only this is just another name for compression, it's another name for the usual 'diff' that every good backup system should be doing - storing only the changes from time to time, not the whole thing. And all that should be packed in any good backup appliance.

  4. Re:Midichlorian testing to come soon on Believing You Are Very Good Or Evil Boosts Your Physical Capabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you guys read Asimov's foundation, you should know that Star Wars is just an attempt in taking probably the best series of science fiction ever written and delivering it in a more acessible package for the masses. No, you don't want plausible mutants whith electromagnetic devices that alter other people's perception, you just want a 'force'. Star wars is just Fantasy put in a 80s' hype era.

  5. Re:No it isn't on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 1

    First amendment obviously doesn't apply here, and do you really expect for a contractor to say "Sorry, we like you, but we don't go for people with tatoos" or simply give a bare look in your face, realize you have a tatoo and go on to the next candidate immediately?
