If the average quality of the information on a botnet was better than the government of Estonia, their website must have really sucked. You did raise a good point though. How do I tell a given site is who it says it is? On thinking about it, we have the same problem right now, even without something as nefarious as dns cache poisoning. It boils down to SSL certificate information type trust issues.
Girls are more emotionally bonded to their toons. That's why they play females. The reason they play male toons is to disguise the fact that they're female.
Funcom was surprised at the amount of demand for costuming items in AO. They shouldn't have been. There is a very strong desire to play a toon that is recognizable, easily distinguishable from other players, and looks cool.
I'm not attracted to the toon directly, that's not it. It's part of picking a cool looking toon. Would you consciously pick an ugly toon? Well ok, maybe I am attracted to the hair;) Come on, I'm sure you've envied some other girls ____, yet hated the rest of her.
It's interested how steadying some hindsight is. I don't know if I'll even bother watching the news anymore after that. He seems to understand a little bit about Chaos or (as he calls it) Complexity theory. Kinda makes me think modeling theory as it relates to complex systems should be required for scientific/engineering disciplines.
They used a type of mirror, not a diffuse plane. This should allow them to display images that appear to be in front of or behind the volume described by the mirror. Unfortunately they did not demonstrate this capability.
At first when I watched the video I thought they had managed to do not just the horizontal but the vertical axis. However I was wrong, they cheated in that they are tracking the location of the viewer to do up and down. I think with the appropriate reflector and more projectors they should be able to get a few fields of up and down.
The next step is to do this with staggered strip columns (flat rectangular strips with the back non-reflective). This should allow home theater sized 3d w/o glasses however you'd lose the ability to view it from behind.
As far as R2D2 is concerned, a holograph projector is pretty much that level of technology. Not sure if we can do that digitally yet or not.
I always play female toons. I figure anyone that enjoys looking at guys for 2000 hours must be gay.
Also I don't usually play just one character, which is why I don't equate myself with my character.
And they gotta have really nice hair, because usually that's what you'll be seeing the most of due to the way the camera zooms in and out on the back of the characters head.
This is probably how DNS should have been from the beginning. My idea of how DNS should have worked from the beginning is to allow anyone to serve any address.
The DNS server reports back the top N servers of that address by # of requests for that servers address over the last N days. It would then be up to your OS to decide which one to use.
This would automatically prevent domain squatting. Just start advertising serving that address and if your site is better than the other one you'll win out.
That's sort of the point. The military is made up of our kids. They'd better think twice of killing their parents.
Ideally the military would just stay out of it and prevent access to any of their weapons. If the military stays out of it then all the citizens have to deal with would be the police and national guard.
If the military is ordered to start flattening cities hopefully some of them would side with the citizens. Sure, on one hand you could say that would be treason or disobeying a direct order from a superior, but the other side would simply call it patriotism.
Anti-tank weapons would be good; we'd need explosives like the Iraqis use for IED's. I'm more worried about helicopter gunships and things like Predators armed with long range guns. Remember Afghanistan? What got the Soviets out of there was them losing a bunch of gunships to the shoulder-fired Stinger missiles we supplied to the rebels/citizens. The problem is that it will be so much harder to hit a predator than a gunship with either a gun or missile because of their maneuverability.
Programming lanuages don't cause bugs....programmers cause bugs Programming languages were written for humans, not other computers.
Inferring from what you said that we never make mistakes and know all the features of the language intimately, why did he bother putting in type checking? That the Bjarne went to all the trouble of implementing type checking, then again for templates, and STILL has not addressed resource allocation is very frustrating to me. What? You'll define the type of an object but not its lifetime? Huh???
Everything was cool right up until you said that you paid for Vista. That's EVIL man PURE EVIL. Microsoft is a monopoly. Do not give money to monopolies..Ever.
And may all you Microsoft employee modders burn in hell. And may the flees of a thousand camels infest you and may your arms be too short to scratch. And your mom!
Hyperbole aside, I doubt this will end up having much effect on LGPs sales There is another effect of DRM: Increasing demand for cracks. I don't want DRM. If I buy a game and find it has any kind of DRM I go look for the NO-CD or crack. What this does is increase demand and publicize the available cracks. The higher availability of the cracks in turn makes it easier for non-paying users.
The reason I don't pirate Steam games is because it's tied to a very large investment. I'm afraid that if I pirate one game it will void my entire account, losing me a lot of money. In a way Steam acts as a bond we put up that we won't pirate/hack.
"In 2004, 3M developed a technique for making a ceramic composed of aluminium oxide and rare earth elements to produce a strong glass called transparent alumina."
I attribute that to an power-out forced landing of a 767 a while back that got a LOT of publicity. They even made a movie about it. See http://blog.fagstein.com/tag/gimli-glider/ for links.
Ahhhh... The good old "Think of the children" defense. I wondered how long it would take to get trotted out.
To counter the "fit to breed" snipe: How fit is someone that won't train their children?
Lest it get ugly lets finish up with a family anecdote: One of my sisters was hollering at my mom to help her one day, and my mom told her to come here. She did. Only problem was she neglected to tear off the toilet paper she was bringing my mom.
We need to salt the traffic too though to defeat traffic analysis like what broke VOIP a little bit back. Send some random traffic to random IP:ports. Route traffic somewhat randomly (anyone can bounce a packet coming in on one port to some other ip on a different port). Example: Say you're Alice surfing a website from Bob and you're sending an email to Charlie. Send the email to Bob with a request to route it to Charlie and send some of the website request traffic to Charlie with a request to route it to Bob.
No he's correct, it's you that doesn't have a big enough tin-foil hat on:
Government hijacks either your (Alice's) or his (Bob's) ISP. When the government sees the key request by Bob or the post by Alice, to the website it substitutes its own. After that they can MITM with impunity. (Alice encrypts with Private key, gubmint Decrypts with intercepted key, re-encrypts with substituted key, sends on to bob, Bob decrypts with gubmint substituted key.)
The problem is that we don't have a tin-foil hat approved method that is easy.

No I think he was trying to say they are Fierce!
Your bass attempt at humor served merely to sharpen our wits. You need to treble your efforts.
Mine's way better, it goes up to elven.
Programmers sigh and roll our eyes when we see source like that.

Close, but no cigar.
Set BT to maximum 10 connections.
Don't change above IPs more often than an hour.
This would make BT route data less efficiently, however it would be easier for a generic traffic shaper to lower the latency.
Awesome. Thank-you for doing what we all would love to but don't have time for.

Actually it's not a swept volume display.
They used a type of mirror, not a diffuse plane. This should allow them to display images that appear to be in front of or behind the volume described by the mirror. Unfortunately they did not demonstrate this capability.

From Wikipedia:
"In 2004, 3M developed a technique for making a ceramic composed of aluminium oxide and rare earth elements to produce a strong glass called transparent alumina."
See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_oxynitride
It might not be a metal, but it does contain Aluminum and it is transparent.
Funny how certain ceramics start conducting electricity really well when you cool em down to 77 kelvin.
I attribute that to an power-out forced landing of a 767 a while back that got a LOT of publicity. They even made a movie about it.

Man I'd love to have some real clean examples of each of those, just so I can improve my coding.
