God damn... you know... all this stuff makes me want to slap my works new lab behind a firewall running Linux.
I know Linux isn't perfect either, but its generally easier to keep one computer uptodate and patched, and have that computer provide security into the internal network.
I often use a swedish keyboard, as I often type in both German and/or Swedish. I find it easier to hit the umlaut key followed by u, rather than figure out how to get a on the German layout.
Here's the one thing I would like to know though, and you might be able to help me out in finding it. I need the ~ key, and I've not been able to find it on my swedish layout. (I don't have the actual keyboard, just use the layout.)
I figure that Danish should be similar, and if you could tell me where it is on the Danish keyboard, maybe it'll help me find it myself. (Yes, I'm this lazy.)
Not nearly as misleading as "College Freshman builds Fusion Reactor":P Here I thought it was a scientific breakthrough from some kid thinking outside the box, and I find out it's just a reduplication of something someone else has already done, and documented.
Maybe "College Freshman replicates Fusion Reactor" or something like that, at least then I wouldn't think he invented it.
-- Stop sending me HTML mail. telnet is my POP client, and I am not an HTML/4.0-compatible rendering engine.
I just gotta say dude, one of the best sigs I've ever seen. Reminds me of the days I was learning POP, and SMTP.
Funny thing is when I was taking a networking class at my university, the first program I wrote (not for class) was a telnet client, which I then stated was "everything you needed to know about networking." *laugh*
No, the word I'm looking for is NOT dictatorship. Dictatorship has the root: dictate, while the word I'm looking for is related to "judge".
This form of government is ruled by multiple judges, and not by a single authority.
dictatorship ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dk-ttr-shp, dkt-) n.
1. The office or tenure of a dictator.
2. A state or government under dictatorial rule.
3. Absolute or despotic control or power.
This is _NOT_ the word I'm looking for.
As for "fallacy of overprecision", what the hell are you talking about? I'm commenting that some people (particularly americans) equate "self-governing" to a system of government where the people choose their future.
My comment was to point out that this is not the case.
self-governing (slfgvr-nng) adj.
1. Exercising control or rule over oneself or itself.
2. Having the right or power of self-government; autonomous.
By this definition a dictatorship, and democracy _CAN_ qualify as self-governing. But only if they have autonomous powers. If a country must "get their actions approved" or their decisions can be overruled, then that government is NOT self-governing.
I'd like you to explain your point of "fallacy of overprecision" or else, I will leave your comment as a "fallacy of oversimplification" and ignore your comment.
He's right, and I've not seen it anywhere else listed here.
But the meter is defined by the speed of light now, and so there is no way to "measure the speed of light" unless you're doing it in something other than meters.
The only thing the SI community can do now is to more accurately measure the meter, not more accurately measure the speed of light.
Unfortunately, I'd have to say that there is no chance in hell that an opt-out list against representatives is going to happen.
It's too important of a medium for people to allow themselves to be opt-out of. Personally, I say if you don't want to be bothered by political phone calls, then find another country, one where you don't get to vote.
Now, if you're entirely unable to vote (convicted felon or what not) I imagine if you let the people know on the other line, they'll take you off their political list. *shrug* who knows though.
It wouldn't be a "kingdon with a judicial nobility" There exists a word to describe a goverment ruled by judges, but I don't remember the name. (And it's difficult to search for a word when you only know the meaning)
And a judicial government COULD have citizens of a self-governing nation. Don't mistake "self-governing" with democratic. A self-governing nation is any nation which is free to govern itself on its own terms.
Isreal is a self-governing nation, while Palestine so far is not.
One time I was taking a Physics quiz, and we had to solve a quadradic equation. I've been solving them for years, I really quickly just wrote out (something like):
0 = 3x^2 - 7 + 2
Then I gave the correct solution. The teacher wasn't quite sure what to make of it, since I wrote only that single line wrong, and then just did the rest of the calculations.
Actually, I'm willing to bet that we'll always keep them as 2^(10x), rather than using the "closest" base 2 equivalent.
I think logically, eventually 2^(10x-1) would be closer to 10^(3x), but I think we'd still keep the 2^(10x), because we basically have fully "defined" it that way.
Actually, you can just kind of bundle them all up into one byte. You send a question "0xFFFF", and it responds back with a 0 if right, or a 1 if wrong.
You could probably gzip it, too, which of course would shout compress fairly nicely.
Optionally, just to get around some objections, just use a randomly generated pattern.
When I was cracked, I thoroughly went through my systems looking for anything that could possibly be a rootkit.
Now, granted, it's entirely POSSIBLE that they were cracked, but they usually sit behind my firewall, and the hacker... sorry, cracker, cracked into the firewall. Since he was using it as an IRC bounce, it's highly unlikely that he bothered to go deeper into my systems.
I'll perhaps correct this up to "As far as I know, neither has been exploited"
Actually, the first thing that tipped me off to something weird going on, was that I couldn't change my/etc/pf.conf file, even as root, and even with a:w! Which really hit me as odd, especially since the file had been changed to make the computer fully open, rather than closed except for SSH and HTTP(S).
Later, a person posted to my personal webpage that he was being DoS'ed from my computer in IRC. That made me check it out, and my good friend, a soon-to-be-certified security expert friend, and he found the root kit.
Yeah, phenomenal track record. Unless you're me. I've run Windows, Linux, and OpenBSD. Besides the usual Spyware, etc, my Windows box has never been exploited. My linux has never been exploitet.
My OpenBSD box? *sigh* I got bitten by the LAST ssh bug... which is why I'm so desperate to fix THIS one.
I will point out to people that this message "only one remote exploit in 7 years" said that before the last ssh bug. But then, I wasn't exploited until after they released 3.3, so you can possibly blame it no not upgrading.
Oooo... now I like rotary engines as much as the next guy... but wanton destruction of sports cars is something that I generally frown upon. Whether they're Porsches or not.

No, the confusion was that the equation was:
3x^2 - 7x + 2
But, I forgot to write the 'x' in the second term, but I just went and did my math correctly.
That's what confused HIM.

I saw an LCD monitor that was 15" but 16" viewable.
I guess they had some extra screen space that wasn't actually used for display...
no, I still don't know what they were thinking.

I scrambled a piece of German text from wikipedia, and I could understand it ok, despite not speaking German natively.
Oddly, I had the hardest time with the ENGLISH words that were in the German text... I could have sworn I spoke Englisch better.
In Soviet Russia...
Oh that's just not going to be funny...
