"A long way to go" does not eliminate the issue that at some point in the future, it could become dangerous. Those who pro-gun will not see it as dangerous but rather benefit from it. Those who anti-gun may already have a panic attack. Those who are in the middle may concern about the issue depending on how far they are between pro and anti.
Then you are creating a problem if it goes into financial transactions. If each transaction is computed 1/10000 less (truncate), how much would it be off by 1 million transactions? Also, only 1 cent difference in accounting will need adjustment in multiple places in order to prove the difference. You are thinking too narrow.
Back to the GP, I do NOT see how this will be put in financial transaction anywhere? Also, it is a rule of thumb to separate decimal from the whole value currency. Simple transaction computation would not need this kind of approximated scientific computation from the article.
I wouldn't go that far. Yes, some music use lyrics to cover up their sloppy music, but to me it is not the main purpose of lyrics. Different people have different level of interpretation to music (or anything). Appropriate Lyrics actually help those who cannot deeply understand the music to get the feel of it (an advantage but not apply to "all"). For example, some people do not have any emotion when they listen to a sad music unless they are in that kind of emotion. An appropriate lyrics with the music gives a better idea of how and/or why the music is sad.
For starters -- Snowden didn't steal anything: he copied it (minor detail).
You lost me there... Compare what he did with a scenario of a hacker hacked into a server and copied data from the server. Ignoring the part of the hacking into the server part but focusing on copying data, the similarity between what he and the hacker did is copying (in whatever way) data which is not supposed to be copied by him or the hacker into his or the hacker's accessible storage. What do you call that part? Backing up for later personal use (note, the authority of copying)?
Even though Snowden seems to be a hero, I still have some doubts of what his purposes are. Yet, it does not eliminate the issue that NSA has done something wrong. Not everything is black and white.
Update, Dec. 16, 2013: This article was updated to clarify that it is the browser code, not Facebook, that reads whatever you type.
From TFA above, it said that the data first collected is not directly from Facebook but from the client's browser. In other words, Facebook is taking advantage of browser's insight (data).
Other information we receive about you
We also receive other types of information about you:
* We receive data about you whenever you use or are running Facebook, such as when you look at another person's timeline, send or receive a message, search for a friend or a Page, click on, view or otherwise interact with things, use a Facebook mobile app, or make purchases through Facebook.
* When you post things like photos or videos on Facebook, we may receive additional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
* We receive data from or about the computer, mobile phone, or other devices you use to install Facebook apps or to access Facebook, including when multiple users log in from the same device. This may include network and communication information, such as your IP address or mobile phone number, and other information about things like your internet service, operating system, location, the type (including identifiers) of the device or browser you use, or the pages you visit. For example, we may get your GPS or other location information so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby, or we could request device information to improve how our apps work on your device.
* We receive data whenever you visit a game, application, or website that uses Facebook Platform or visit a site with a Facebook feature (such as a social plugin), sometimes through cookies. This may include the date and time you visit the site; the web address, or URL, you're on; technical information about the IP address, browser and the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in to Facebook, your User ID.
* Sometimes we get data from our affiliates or our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make Facebook better. For example, an advertiser may tell us information about you (like how you responded to an ad on Facebook or on another site) in order to measure the effectiveness of - and improve the quality of - ads.

From the quote above (from their web site), it pretty much covers the 'download all your data' part in a vaguely wording way (bulletin #1). I guess someone has to sue Facebook to see if their policies actually cover the way they are doing now.
The high efficiency incandescents cost about $1.50 each, compared to 50 cents or so for the old bulbs. But they last twice as long, and use 28% less power.
Now let's look at the number on this incandescents(INCAN) v old(OLD) bulbs. From the TFA, the INCAN has twice life time as OLD but cost $1.5 v. $0.5. If I divide the lift time of INCAN by 2, I get $0.75 (the cost with the same life time as OLD). Now I am going to compare the use of energy (28% less) with the OLD's by applying the 28% to $0.75, and as a result, would reduce the cost down to $0.54. Is that really saving compared to $0.50 if the heat output is ignored?
Your example is not comparable to the GP intention because the of the buyer. The GP is looking at those who deal illegal activities (i.e. drug dealers) but you are looking at regular people. In other words, the GP is pointing out at exploitation of the use; whereas, you are demonstrating the common-use point of view.
The only problem I have and would suggest is that you should not use MIT people to represent all Ph.D. people, and it could mislead others (as you could already see the GP).
So you farm the deer by herding them across the border? Such a stupid counter question. What is the purpose of immunization? Do cows live freely in the wild? Please stop comparing orange with apple (just because they both are animals).
If you read the TFA, you could find some more information even though this does not answer all of your questions but still give you some more perspective to the situation.
Sgt. Ford says the officer should have arrested Kamooneh on the spot. But he didn't. Instead, the officer filed a police report. Then 11 days passed, and two deputies showed up at his house in Decatur.
"They arrested me here at about eight o'clock at night," Kamooneh said.
Ford said he sought the arrest warrant after determining that school officials hadn't given Kamooneh permission to plug in his car. Ford said Chamblee Police did so without asking school officials if they wanted to prosecute the alleged theft of electricity.
I understand your point.:) However, I am not talking about let the motor do the work, but rather have the motor ease the strength needed in pushing the bike (similar to gear). Would that still be possible?
Singapore is a country even though it is a small island. Hong Kong & Macau could be counted as one country; however, I don't know how people in Hong Kong think whether they are in the same country. Only Shanghai is a CITY in China and cannot represent the whole country.
I am just wondering when this type of technology is caught in 'Tour de France'... It is not easy to design this thing to be small enough in order to fit in regular wheel, but I don't think it is impossible?
The larger the item, the more difficult to find a place to dump it (or throw away). Therefore, I fail to see that small tablets would reduce the waste space in the landfill compared to PCs.
You may think that it is a joke (when use the word passports), but would you take a risk of taking foreign animals that you don't know whether they carry diseases, and then they may end up killing all others?
More to the point, anyone in an internet security job should know this, because it's a building block to understanding more complex things. The candidate should understand the HTTP protocol thoroughly. If they don't know GET vs POST, they certainly don't know any advanced concepts that the job requires.
Thanks for your explanation. I thought it is a common sense not to put any type of the info you mentioned in the GET anyway, so I did not understand why you need to involve this GET & POST.
Understandable.:) I think it all depends on what your database type, size of your database, limit number of requests, time limit for querying, etc. Your case is reasonable to use join statement. I have encountered another case where I need to look for certain condition over 4-5 tables that have 2+mil record on each of them. Join statement will take forever and could easily timeout the request. I cannot change the database structure, so I have to deal with it.
On the GET & POST answer, I like it. I believe it is a common sense that one would not put any important info on the GET request. When I said 'important', it means something which has potential to be used in an unfavorable way. That's the reason why I do not see that GET & POST should be involved in security. Anyway your answer gives me the understanding of what others are thinking. Thanks.
when you ask them an SQL question they use a sequence of nested queries without any join statements. We get sysadmin who don't know how to map a network drive on the command line. We get people who want security jobs who can't answer, "What's the difference between a GET and a POST request?"
No offend, I am just curious about what you said. I do understand that some people prefer 'join' statements over nested queries. I do not know if that would be faster/better to do 'join' statement over multiple huge data tables compared to nested queries. If you are not sure about the person answer, you may still ask him/her to rewrite it using 'join' instead as well.
Also, why would GET & POST requests be involved in security? They both are not that different on the backend. The different is that a client passes parameters via HTTP header (URL) in GET but POST passes them via message body. So both request types still pass the same parameters. If you are talking about security on the client side, I still do not see it. There are plenty of ways to manipulate a HTTP header/request using plentiful tools available nowadays. If you are talking about average people who use the Internet, then it is still not about security because security, to me, means some sort of handle an attack (imply the attacker knows what he/she is doing, not a layman).
You are right. That's a silly summary they put on. They should say something like 'No Internet connection required while browsing/searching through the wiki' (one of their feature).

I understand that you are talking about certain different range of typing style. I accept that thought. The problem for me is not the idea, but it is the threshold of the range they are looking for. I don't know the criteria they used in identifying style. Also, their sample size of 2000 is extremely small compared to a population in a country. I don't believe it effectively works as they claim, but they put this news out just to get attention from public. I guess they want to test the public reaction, and then may go forward with their plan (which could be money making or fund raising).
this aspect is neither perfect nor a failure, but is one parameter that's considered.
Your reply is fair enough for me. Though, your example is not what I would say obvious. I mean when you are talking about someone walking toward you from far way. It is not the appearance you would use to identify the person but rather the way/style of walk you see from afar.:)
Nah, that's way too science-y for Slashdot. Better to just proclaim that it will never work and earn some karma.
Yes, the talk is easy but the practice is not. I did not say it will never work, but I implied it unlikely works or is effective due to different style of typing regarding different 'hard ware'. Besides the point, you are sicked if you think that other people posting here are looking to earn karma or whatever. Maybe it is you who reply and look for it instead.

If you want to know about security clearance in the US, you can check it at http://www.state.gov/m/ds/clearances/c10978.htm
For the cost of getting security clearance, you who is an employee would not be paying but your employer. I believe the cost is varied depended on case by case. http://news.clearancejobs.com/2011/08/07/how-much-does-it-really-cost-to-get-a-security-clearance/ gives some idea about how much but it is 2 years old...
