No the NYT is being shat upon because they are charging more for their wares than people that serve up video and audio. It's $36/year to subscribe to Pandora. NYT wants $35 for a month's worth of access. And you think WE are the insane ones? Get a grip.
I agree. The world should revolve around you and headlines should take your life into account going forward. I'll make a note of this sire and have the staff writing the Internet to make an adjustment.
Not much though. Creation of amino acids in the "primordial soup" does not explain where life came from, which is what both of those theories are in search of. Also, the original experiment has been improved greatly so they have the data now to confirm the formation of amino acids along with other building blocks. Fact is there's still a huge gap of knowledge between molecule and cell formation.
One interesting theory, possibly related depending on your view, is RNA-first formation. Another is silicate-based. There is a lot of info out there on these and other theories but if you want a good read on the subject of the formation of life I highly recommend the book Life as We Do Not Know It: The NASA Search for (and Synthesis of) Alien Life, by Peter Ward. *Warning* this book contains unscientific generalizations from a geologist *Warning*
That's the WWIC trend, or "Why Wasn't I Consulted?", where everyone thinks they should have a say in everything. For instance, slashdot. But at least we're smart enough to know we're just bitching and we don't expect the world to change for us.
Lately 0-day has come to mean they haven't seen it in the wild yet and haven't released the code to reproduce it (AFAIK they haven't). But yeah they toss that on anything these days.A true zero day is one you keep to your group or yourself. Groups stack them like cards in a deck for later use while keeping them secret.
Particularly with how advanced our compilers and other tools are now. When you combine compiler warnings, bounds checking, and stack shielding you don't really have any leg to stand on when it comes to exploits in your code do you?
Most of us don't. We just browse the web with other choices. I browse with Chrome but I need IE9 open most of the time to debug the web apps I build. It's not a bad platform to debug with but the best tool set IMHO still resides in Firefox (Firebug). Chrome is coming up but it has, uhm, issues in the debugging tools department.
They're already doing that with criminal clearing houses and exchanges. We just have to stay one step ahead of them and pay the best hackers to "white hat" for us. That's the key. We need out own heavy hitters that can skirt the fine line.
Don't usually post to my own comments but a correction - he is self proclaimed former military and served in Afghanistan. He never claimed he hacked for them AFAIK.
Although all of the powerful crackers know others, some of them truly are lone wolves. For instance, The Jester (th3j35t3r ) with his Xerxes botnet. He doesn't claim any affiliation AFAIK and is self-proclaimed former military hacker. I always wondered if they give him a pass because he helps with other things, like taking down Islamic-jihad websites which he's know to do. No man is an island after all and he definitely has connections. But still he seems to be the "lone wolf" acting with impunity at times.
And that's just one of many that have never claimed a group affiliation and seem to be driven more by underground fame and rage than money or crime.
You basically nailed why so many corporations are suffering from corruption from within - they are beholden to board members more than their customers. They don't even care about the fundamentals of business anymore. They're too busy inventing new ways to fuck each other.
Slashdot Mirror
It would be different if their journalism was truly exceptional. But it's not so why pay for it?

No secret needed. I want to see this film. It was my favorite of all the books and I'm dying to see their interpretation of Smaug.
Why doesn't every house have a digital+analog lock with one time pad? And why doesn't my car fly?
It's called cost and effort smarty pants. It's not like we've been over here in the dark ignoring it.
Well they do get the very best weed available.
"What if we're just a speck on a speck on a speck and that speck stack is like, you know, like, infinite man."
You should probably read the article before talking about thick skulls bud. No private corporation raided anything.
I got intrigued also and went fishing, found this: http://www.kent-hovind.com/theory.htm
Because it's a personal philosophy. Many great minds have pondered where we came from and they present it as such, not as science.
Uh dude smelling like tuna is kind of impolite in most of the social circles I run in. But that's just me, not judging.
Only a dumb fuck would say taking down a botnet is a bad thing.
That all started back in 1997 when slashdotters stopped reading the fucking articles.
Holy shit, where do you live? I'm heading up from Florida right now!
Yup, I don't do shit for them. You read me like a book sir. Now fuck off.
Spending billions duh. Who cares about the homeless or poor, we got fucking meteors to track!

I will always remember you. I will make a time capsule and put your data in. Even people of the future will see your posts. Make your time.
