Well you are right, you need to know the identity of one signer of the encryption keys to be able to verify that it is the correct key. I think there are things called key-signing parties(events) for that purpose.
But the parent is somewhat right too, because actually you would first have to make sure that you have correctly established the identity of the root key-signing enitity over a secure handshake, which often is not the case.
On the other hand, with an extended web of trust, man in the middle attacks become somewhat hypothetical, it is more likely you would be tricked into using bad keys instead.
Well back in the days of DOS, I was inspired by ideas like this to create music from "towers of hanoi" (thats the game with the 3 towers where you move discs)
I don't quite recall the details but I think it involved mapping frequencies to the towers and durations to the height or something like this.
The hardest part of it was to get any decent sound out of the PC speakers; but I solved this elegantly by not playing a single sound, but a mix of sounds, which was again based on the Towers of Hanoi algo.
I believe Google would tweak their financial contributions such that the developers of firefox can do their work, and nothing more.
Personally, I am also not using the search box at all, nor the google: keyword, I just use a link to google in the toolbar. I'll try to rig it a bit in firefox's favor now, but I won't rig every pc I work on this way.
That was my first thought: why is MS researching this? Pure research like this and MS just do not go together.
I believe MS does research, but of course they would mostly release research results that are making MS projects look good.
However, the OS performance analysis done by their OS TNG research team was pretty fair, you could find something any benchmarked OS was good at for each of them.
If the 12o7 cookie exists at amazon and the fly-by-night-shady-blogger, one must assume that the safety of your amazom stored credit card informaiton is compromised.
I don't quite understand why people rate cookies as a security risk; it is correct they are a privacy risk, but it is not like colluding web sites could not construct a different attack on your privacy.
Maybe you could explain your scenario on how the shady blogger gets the credit card number?
Wel, you would not only want a compression method that simply compresses some text effectively, but that also would proceed to produce sensible and interesting output when the compressed file is padded.
This means that the usual methods of compression that favor blocks and limited dictionaries(or Huffman buffers or whatever) are not those to look at, because the only input files (corpus) that represent what is sensible are the complete body of accessible human works. It is interesting that this body is not sequential but that grouping of related topics of this corpus together would faciliate traditional compression.
Yahoo should ban the use of "Mohammed" (and variants) as well, since obviously it is insulting to Muslims when every Dick and Harry can roam the internet abusing such a honored name.
I am saddened to hear Open SpaceShip design is not making good progress with the Enterprise.
Maybe if they had used a cluster of borg processors, this had not happend, but now I cannot but welcome our Xenoid Mutant Lords of Closed Space Ship design.
Well, there are two ways to deal with a "challenge" or imbalance such as toxoplasma: try to avoid it to stay safe, or live with it and adapt over the generations.
So my guess is there are a people who actually are "reliant" on toxoplasma to lift their spirits.
Thanks for summing up the question, because I didn't RTFA.
I would suggest creating sort of an RAID with DVDs, i.e. a redundant array of indepedent removable media, an "RAIRM". Remember, you heard it first on slashdot;-)
While antigravity is a cool SciFi story device, it is quite possible that attempting to implement an antigravity device is like pulling yourself out of the swamp by pulling at your own hair like Munchhausen, or like protecting yourself from rain by sitting in an open boat on a lake.
Now even when Dr. Felbers calculations are true, you'd first have to find a star speeding at a speed of 57%+ of lights speed(or accelerate one yourself:-P), then you'd have to get in front of it, and in order to avoid the star smacking right into your spaceship, you'd have to have a speed of 0.57c already. Moreover(guessing), when you'd accelerate over 0.57c to take advantage of it, as you move away, the antigravity cone probably would loose focus and dispel just like gravity with a spread function of 1/r^2, quickly rendering it useless unless you'd just float along with the star.
Now sure how you would set up any scoring though that made sense, and of course the medic could not wear a gun at all. Add some priests for faster respawning;-)

I just want to read the article, it seems to keep linking to other links. I think that it's broken. Anybody got any suggestions??
Sure, here is a working link: http://tinyurl.com/ng69uIn other news, Amazon has announced it has applied for a technology that will auto-click in a web browser based on configurable trigger patterns.

It is great, but somewhat sluggish, since you are betting on events years in the future.
Obviously you have never seen the bill of the Enterprise for licensing fees for steak blueprints.
I heard you go to a prison planet if you replicate using a blueprint for which you did not pay the license fees.
To create a personalized Internet experience, don't they have to collect more intimate user information?
And the brilliant part of it is that the users will now pay for the privilege.Suppose you were looking for electronics to buy and you didn't really care were it came from, as long as it is cheap.
.com isn't really a hierarchy, anything can be in .com
Then http://electronics.walmart.com/ makes a lot more sense, because you see that you are where you are looking for.
Now:
http://com.walmart.electronics/
Most people don't really care whether it is com or org. It also doesn't play nice with autocompletion

Well, in this case, I look forward to our bleak-faced, magenta-skinned anime dominatrix mistresses.
Funny to see how the man eats itself.
Well, it looks like it would work more like an RTS than a simulation - much cooler than stomping out bots with your delete tool in SimEarth
Bring in the popcorn and a beer, darling!

Me, like many readers of slashdot, also hope to pass the Turing test one day, so I congratulate him on this achievement.
Meanwhile, in Soviet Russia, the Turing test passes you.

these robots become self-aware and try to take over the world?
