I'm sure the former KGB agent who lifted the laptop because islamic chechyen rebels was holding his sister-in-law hostage wouldn't know enough to make it look like a crack-head lifted the machine. Seriously, you have to assume that it was an pro who lifted it to compromise national security until proven otherwise, that's the way the game has to be played.
should do the trick, I'm sure the FBI is real serious about find deep evidence of access to the data that could easily cost billions and compromise financialy millions of active duty people with current security clearances.
slashdot has a pretty ecletic bunch and somebody who mentions that a config file is in win INI style might be more fluent in Linux than windows, windowsers have a habit of just assuming it's a windows INI styled file.;)
Fire them, why let them off that easy:), OBTW I got my letter from the VA a couple days ago, now I see that the guy who had the laptop stolen actualy had written permission to have the data on it!!
What you want is TKSETI, it's a front-end for the client, start, stops, pauses on command and by schedule and has a starmap in it that'll show the locations in the sky of all the work units you have done while tkseti was running. It also keeps track of your top scores and will connect to seti@hmoe and tell you if your friends made official top users spikes or gaussians. I thought it was what made running seti at home fun. you need Tcl/TK and a seti cient to run it, but I don't know if it works with the new-fangled BOINC clients, it's been a couple years since I used it.
Your exactly right and completely wrong, his biggest problem is he's surrounded by people smart enough to do really stupid things. One of these smart people is going to decide that they can secretly get their data from anywhere by putting it on a web server without a link, that way only they will know, well him and his two undergrad assistants, well they'll tell their girl-friends of course, then mysteriously the link gets posted to LeetHaxor.ru and of course google crawls leethaxor.ru, then the whole world except the security consultant knows. The rest of the professors are a bunch smarter than that, they ROT-13 the data and put it on the FTP server!
Bingo that's it exactly, our economic models are all scarcity based; We have no tested abundance based economic models. Most commercial enterprises in the FOSS arena concentrate arround support serviced, assuming that their "expertise" is rare and it's scarcity will provide a profitable venture. Eventually any expertise will diffuse into the community eliminating the scarcity.
Interesting but all those buzzwords, made it seem like a cross between a defense contractor's sales film and something the BOFH would say to the PHB for the PFY's ammusement.
Most of us running Seti@home are not searching for ET, we're looking for interesting signals that appear to be how we think intelligent signals would look; most of these interesting signals are from the ground, some are from near Earth Orbit, hopefully few will be from deep space. Out of the ones from deep space most will be from known astronomical events, some will be from unknown astronomical phenomena, and maybe someday one will be from an ETI. I look for the unknown astronomical phenomena.
sometimes non-profit means good people doing good things and sometimes it means revenues have to be matched be expenses so let's spend money like drunken sailors.
one city near us had a 40yr power cable blow out, manhole covers shooting 30 feet in the air, toxic smoke coming out of every hole in the ground, city blacked-out for a day, and the main street closed for the duration; above ground the fire would have gotten enough oxygen to burn cleaner and they could have re-reoute around the problem in an hour or so leave only a couple blocks blacked-out.
There are some geologists that should be very interested in methods like Dr. Gold's. One problem they run into is the frequencies that are gereated are just to long to see some structures well and high frequencies just don't carry well enogh to pass through a structure and still get to their instruments. I'm not a geologist, but intend to build a seismometer some day, toying with ideas about soundcards and linux to record the data, some day.

sure we're going to put a radio reciever and cable to connect it to a 1.3 GHz celeron processor to decrypt the firing signal into a 9mm bullet, then fill the remaining space up with molten lead at 900 F; yeah that outa work. I think their idea of encryption will prove to be a lot looser than ours.
You know this reminds me of a story, now this is no bullshit; years ago, photographer's didn't use electronic stobes, they used flash bulbs, these bulbs were made out of lacquered glass and contained a quantity of magnesium wool. When an electrical current flowed tru, the magnesium flashed a brilliant white light. Well a fair quantity of these flash bulbs were in a particular MP's car along with other crime scene evidence tools, and a fancy new X-band speed radar. This MP got into the habit of sitting at the bottom of the hill to our HAWK Missile TAC site and pass out tickets for going 25 MPH in a 15MPH zone! This tended to irritate the lads so one day it was decided to put the alignment scope on the High Powered Illuminating Radar, and to put the scope's crosswhairs on the MP car. After a good warm-up in standyby, the radiate button was punched as our group chuckled in anticipation, as a couple KW of microwaves at a frequency not too distant for the speed radar surged out of the HiPIR's klystron, through the waveguides and bounced off the parabolic refector pointed at the MP car, which immediately lit up like an atom bomb as all the flash bulbs went off. Somebody yelled "TURN IT OFF OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING TO KILL HIM, as the MP got out of his car and stared at the smokeing ruin that used to be a traffic radar.
I guess the moral of the story is that if you pump enough RF into things that were not designed for that much power weird shit happens, and if your lucky it'll make a funny story instead of a tragety and I'll probably be happier if my bullets weren't RF sensitive.
human sexauality is a continum, most of us find the opposite sex attractive, most prefer the same age and discriminate based on things like hair color, body shape ect, fewer are attracted to the same sex but same age; some are farther out on the fringe, it's the way we are born.
The concrete has to be made in sections to alow for heat expansion in the summer, in the winter water gets into the joints and cracks the concrete when it freezes. In Michigan they regulary cut out 3 foot sections from the joints and re-pour the concrete. Actually the surface that seems to hold up best to winter is an ashphalt layered over concrete; heavey truck traffic still makes it wavey
the diference is your code that doesn't work, has the semicolon for the SQL statement in the statement, since prepare assumes that the statement is going to be submitted to the database, it adds the semicolon which would give your way two semicolons. I'm mostly MySQL thru PHP but I remembered this, probably because I made the same mistake myself and sweated bullets trying to find the problem; try it see if it works.
There is a php application that I've written and am still writing, and I really wish I had gone the Perl route in stead. In PHP when you hit the wall, you hit it fast and hard. The most infurating thing is when they changed default settings which broke a lot of helper libs, which were abadoned by the developers. I'm with you and now I'm converting my app to Perl and CPAN modules; no sense in developing my app, and debugging other peoples libs.
I'm sure that any gravity waves it produce would be overwhelmed by the mechanical vibrations, intermitant air currents, and EMF noise it would make, short answer it must have been a joke.
I must be dense and you seem to know what your talking about; FTA I see a schematic of a device that would be very accurate in measuring minute differences in distance and time. Presumably a Gravity wave would distort time-space consistant with the lorentz transformations, which I think I understand, what I don't understand is since the time-space distortion would apply to the instruments frame of reference, wouldn't they get the same null-results that the MM experiment got?
It's like the lottory, they said all of the lottory money would go to the school kids, We thought great, now the schools will get 20% of the general budget + the lottery proceedes, What happened is the kids get 5% of the general budget + the lottery proceeds less a multi-million dollar advertising campain.
Really the is no reason not to trust the Fox to guard the Henhouse, he's never eaten the chickens while on guard duty before... oh yeah time, but the fox wasn't on guard duty then.

you can actually drive from Michigan to Florida on I 75 faster than you can drive fron Calumet Michigan to Detroit Michigan

In Michgan we only have two seasons, winter and construction.
