for instance: i found this high end solid silver, gold plated, diamond encrusted ethernet cable greatly improved the quality of audio that i recieved from my super fast 28k fibrous broadband modem. I know all those nay-sayers... those common people with their primitive untrained ears, who don't encode their vinyl at 5.6448 MHz sampling rate because of that unproven "nyquist shannon sampling theorem", say the ethernet frame check sequence, CRC-32 and ultimately transport layer protocols mean that data transmission loss at the physical layer is completely invisible before it gets anywhere near the DAC.
Now i don't claim to know what all that stuff means, but i Dooo know that electrons are electrons, and electrons are like water and water has memory, and those other electrons know they are clones, and my ears can tell those electrons are not the original electrons from my 28k modem that's downloading my 5.6448 MHz encoded flac files over a TOR network to my $1 a year shared server located in some kitchen in Russia on top of which somone is making toast... you know how i can tell? i can smell the toast when i use my new high end solid silver, gold plated, diamond encrusted ethernet cable, that's how good it is, it acutally induces a state of synaesthesia.
I also heard on the pedoaudio forum that they are going to release a limited edition version that is made from conductible water with 10e-1073741824 percent gold aparently this makes it a billion times more conductive than pure gold and will sell for twice the price, with a limited edition of made from water blessed by the Pope.
I also have memories of my father from a younger perspective. I too would like to learn more about him from my perspective now, to ask questions and have conversations i would not have as a child. However... perhaps the fuzzy memories of a child are more flattering and leave the adult mind with some wonder compared with the more lucid and analytical memories created by your present self.
My dad is quite creative and technical in a variety of ways, he shared some of that with me when i was young, that provided great inspiration for me and gave me some happy memories of the time i spent with him. The silly thing is that he's still alive... but has always lived far away, now further than ever in an isolated part of another country above the clouds (literally not metaphorically).
I guess the nugget of wisdom to be extracted from this is: memories are good, so spend your time and effort being together. The better the time and the stronger the emotion - the more potent and lasting the memory will be.
It may do good in the short term for some people, much the same as a placebo, but unlike a placebo it brings with it a whole load of baggage (like homoeopathy and it's pseudo science research that was government funded in the UK until only recently).
The last thing anyone wants to see is astrology becoming more widely accepted as anything other than fiction... Stick with the placebo pill, it has the same effect and is a plain white lie with no baggage polluting minds of the mass ignorant.
This guy is the low hanging fruit that keeps all those automated attacks from China from developing something more sophisticated:P Not that i'm suggesting security through obscurity is the only way or anything... just an extra line of Darwinian defence.
Many people run CURRENT, so if they put their pubkeys on servers they could possibly be guessable. Try reading the article next time.
Yes they do, yes they could, no it's not news, it's on the current branch... In true BSD style i'm going to say RTFM:

Current is not intended for production, end of.
...Ultimately action needs to be taken against individuals, though.
I did not say that individuals involved should not be punished, i said that the consequences for a government agency (in it's entirety) should not be the same as they are for an individual, and this ruling is for the GCHQ's actions not "higher up at [spy agency] and his obedient minions"... I don't think individual punishment alone solves issues that span an entire organisation either.
It would make sense that individual trials result from this ruling to determine individual liability.
Makes it sound like what determines a version bump is somewhat arbitrary, are kernels just too complex for them to fit into a simple versioning convention?
It goes a long way to showing it's not the students or the home, but the classroom teacher's behavior that explains part of the differences over time between boys and girls
1. There are statistical differences of interest between the genders, some subjects more than others, this leads to different proportions of gender in various subjects.
2. Given a strong enough natural bias of proportion (not individual ability), over time stereotypes will emerge that magnify those biases.
3. Inevitably, teachers (being human and all), will subconsciously be affected by these stereotypes.
It's important that in a subject where women are a small minority that people in teaching positions make a concerted effort to be unbiased and try to remove stereotypes from their judgement. However "reversing the bias" will do as much harm as good, it's almost as misguided as trying to create a perfectly equally diverse workforce in a region where the diversity of the population is not equal. While determining the natural bias in cases like this may be near impossible, people in positions of influence can at least try to be unbiased to reduce the impact of stereotypes on minorities.
Yes but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to because it's pure opinion. People should also be able to disagree with you because they think you "should not" but that doesn't mean anyone should have absolute authority over what you are and are not allowed to say - that's why it's a freedom of speech issue.
Out of interest (I'm primarily a web dev) what sites / content do you use that demands flash? I browse with plugins enabled on a click to play basis but i'm finding very few places these days where i ever need or want to enable flash content, especially with video content being fairly quickly replaced by h.264 and so forth.
The source is open, but i read about how chromium's way of packaging dependencies with itself has had it rejected from official software repositories on various linux distros. Perhaps this also reduces it's portability.
On an unrelated note, you shouldn't judge a browser on it's ability to support java and flash, that's really not how the web should work or will work in the future. (for the record i'm fairly browser agnostic, except when talking about IE of course:P).
Consequences to a government agency are not and should not be the same as they are for an individual... When a great wrong has been done by an individual, punishment is arguably useful and usually satisfying from other individuals perspective, but retribution for an organisation (esp government) it's not very useful to anyone.
Also the legality of this ruling should not determine punishment or justification, it should determine change. If the ruling was "lawful", then clearly the laws involved are not comprehensive enough or are poorly defined.
Whatever the ruling, it's clear that the GCHQ overreached. Inadequate oversight, bad policy and fallible laws could be the cause. The ruling and findings along the way can provide insight into how much of each is to blame.
"Microsoft says there's no evidence these flaws haven't been successfully exploited."
Regardless of their meaning that's a ridiculous things to say, obtaining evidence to show the flaws haven't been exploited is infeasible. It's like saying there is no evidence proving that god does not exist.
It is obvious that talking will help people make flint tools. We all know that. But how do we know that? Saying 'it's obvious' is not helpful
Actually this experiment is not how you know that. You know communication helps as a priori knowledge which is also why it's obvious (see below if you need an explanation). You missed the point entirely which is not if it helps but how much it helps... the larger debate is when humans first started communicating, it's helpful to know how much communication helps developing stone tools because that period in time could be a candidate if it's significant.
It's obvious that communication will help because it's also logically true: communication is required to share knowledge, sharing knowledge will help an individual to know more than they would separately. These things are true by definition and logic, you can know that communication helps as priori knowledge in the same way that you know up is the opposite to down without measuring it.
The debate seems to wander into the territory of considering persistence separately from "intelligence", and essentially suggesting that persistence can also amplify stupidity. In which case perhaps a more useful question is:
Does possessing persistence significantly contribute to process of improving an individuals intelligence?
If true then an individual possessing this character is likely to ether be or become more intelligent given the right conditions, regardless of a particular combination of traits.
Yes it could be done and made cheaply... if it's something that consumers actually want, beyond a gimmicky "My phone has it" selling point.
Maybe i'm just not consumer enough, but i don't really want my photos or video to be 3D, in the same way that film looks better at 24FPS and games look better at >60FPS.
I think high frame rates and depth perception are along the same lines as far as application goes, they bring ultra realism. For things like games, simulations etc that's great. But for many forms of media it seems that lack of realism and it's artistic capacity are somehow entwined, adding ultra realism seems to destroy that. Granted - selfies are tenuously artistic so perhaps this will make it into phones.
Creating a charge will solve one problem and cause another... You would still need other repercussions when the claim is false, because taking down the site of a companies competitor for a few days, or a disruptive but not illegal site can be well worth $1000. In fact it will make things worse, because your putting that power in the hands of the wealthy and taking it from the poor (or to the large corporation and away from the individual).
Yes but within reason... how stupid are you required to be to not see the blatantly obvious. This isn't something easily quantifiable, more likely something a judge with have to defer to "common sense".
One of the bigger reasons i'm stuck not wanting to upgrade from 10.6: kernel panics via ipfw when using sshuttle. I need shuttle and would rather not use a shitty VPN protocol to slow down my already slow 3Mbit connection so i'm stuck with 10.6 before they broke ipfw.
On top of that: basically all the author said, 10.6 reflected what Apple used to be focused on for software, it was the only major release to focus on non-feature based improvements, ever since then each update brings features i have no interest in and only seem to fragment current features, then also degrade the rest of the experience by bloat and bugs.
The problem is that SMTP doesn't fix IP address block even if you send it yourself, the only way you are ever going to communicate with a blocked IP is through another IP. localhost only works if you don't want to send mail to gmail users and you never want to receive mail. These are gmail users by the way...

It's chromium with extra user features and a different interface...
Why dev... developers are not exclusive to Google. dev is as generica a domain as you can get, hence TLD hence not google only.

Not a straw man honest... just highlighting what should be obvious responsibility.
1. You get a gun for your "art project"...
2. You program a robot to randomly fire 100 bullets per week in random directions.
3. Your deploy your robot in an area KNOWN to contain humans.
4. Inevitably... a human is eventually killed given enough time.
