Yes, the main problem isn't a lack of software[*]. It's that those who make decisions have no understanding of security, and their bosses in turn are looking at short term ROI.
[*]: Nor do I believe that funding would have helped if that were the cause. A great programmer doesn't become more productive if you toss more money at him. He'd be happy, and may deserve it, but likely you'd just finance more managers and get less done.
Bullocks. We're not talking about distances where the speed of light has a noticeable impact. Synchronization is very easy. Send a timestamped message that you'll brake or accelerate N milliseconds from now, and everyone behind you can do it at the same time.
Says the guy that can't engrischen. You should use your native language, you might then look intelligent.
Oh, Alexander Peter Kowalski is American, and currently lives in upstate New York. He just appear to have some problems communicating rationally like most people. IANAMP, so I won't speculate on why, but I do think he needs help of a type we cannot offer here.
I still wish the owners here would adjust the lameness filter for AC posts to be a bit more strict, to avoid derailments like this. Too much use of bold, upper case, links to other slashdot posts and the trademark "P.S. =>" could easily be stopped, I think.
watching you evade answering if my hosts method stopped the BOTNET IN QUESTION of the topic
The question had nothing to do with botnets - that was something you introduced late in the conversation. But yes, firewalls and routers stop them too. Even better, because they can block hostnames like hosts files can (just more efficient due to lookups being through hashes instead of linear), but also block both wildcards and IP ranges, something hosts files can't.
Once we have car to car communication. This type of driving would be possible.
That doesn't imply it would be desirable. Cars are not only for transportation from A to B. The day I can't go on a joyride anymore, I won't be using a self-driven queue-communicating cart; I will be using public transportation.
Power cables like this are a tad too thick for "snip". But yes, multiple cables is preferable, because the surface area is bigger, and electricity only travels along the surface of cables.
I would like to know the environmental impact of the cables, though. Doggerbank is home to a lot of fish species, precisely because the water isn't that deep. Many of which have electricity sensing organs. Signal cables are bad enough for some types of sharks. It needs to be investigated what the impact is for power cables, both those lying on the ocean floor and those hanging from the windmillls.
Good thing Hilldog only got to sell Uranium to Russia and not the entire country.
I'm astonished how many redneck Trump voters who believe this even after it's been debunked, even by republicans. It must be fun living in a fairy tale universe where saying something three times makes it true.
Meanwhile, in the real world, I'd be far more worried about a president who lies so much. I''m not saying that Hillary Rodham Clinton is a honest person, but Donald John Trump has taken outright fabrication to a whole new level.
When you deal with psychopaths, keep in mind that reality isn't the truth, what they think is the truth. I'm sure that in his mind, he's not been playing golf, but working - it just have happened to be at golf courses.
Personally, I think the world would be better off if he played more golf. I just feel very sorry for the caddie.
I can remember watching TV, back a couple of decades ago. They can't track my books by the sound effects in my head
No, but micro-ridges and dimples in the paper can act like a bar code when you move your finger along it, or slide a finger along an edge to turn a page. Much like you can identify the brand of corduroy trousers or shoes by the sounds the wearer makes, just at a smaller scale.
Unfortunately economics is against you. If standard price is say, $10 and they offer this $50 "VIP" showing that means they have to bring in 20% of the audience size to break even. I'm pretty sure there is less than 20% of the population is willing to spend 5x the price for a movie simply to avoid the crowds.
Most theatres these days are multiplex theatres and show several shows at the same time. If they put up their biggest hit as a reserved $50 movie too, instead of their least successful movie, they only need to bring in more money than their least successful movie did with people paying a fifth as much. Say their least successful movie played for an audience of 20 paying $10. If showing their biggest blockbuster instead for $50 a ticket, they only need five guests to make it a win.
Exactly. They have so few "computer guys" that it's going to be well near impossible to find any aces among them - none of them grew up with the ability to tinker with computers and networks. Good hackers isn't a profession where you assign people and say "you there, become an expert hacker!" There just isn't a viable substrate for experts to grow out of.
Lemme guess, you only want to watch the artsy movies, and don't give a shit about the action movie tentpoles.
You guessed wrong. I like action movies. And I like watching them without being disturbed by those who don't give a shit about others. I wouldn't mind if there were separate $5 showings for the plebs, and $50 showings for those of us who want to enjoy movies without uncouth interruptions, whether visible, audible or olfactory.
I wouldn't mind paying $50 per movie, if the movie theatre had the same rules as an acting theatre, i.e. only numbered seats, no eating and drinking inside the auditorium, and ushers that remove people who pull up cell phones or otherwise distract others.
(Reagan's blip was fairly brief from what I saw, presumably tied to Iran Contra, but I didn't double check.)
The drop in his second term, yes, was largely linked to the Iran-Contra affair. The rapid rise during his first term was primarily due to getting shot, and the smaller rise at the end of his term due to his deterioration. Too many people can't keep sympathy separate from job approval.
What do you call an application that is trained with some data to give fuzzy answers based on input in a way that mimics human behaviour in similar situation?
He said "human in the loop", not "human in the hoop".
As for how much I appreciate a human in the loop, I have to agree with the late George Carlin. The typical human seems pretty stupid, and a full half of everyone is more stupid than that.
Most "craft beers" these days is swill, overhopped to mask bad production and give it longer shelf life. And the less enlightened fad-following half of the population lap it up, sometimes literally.
While they may had gotten crowd funded, it doesn't guarantee success in the long term.
This is true. Remember that many of the crowd funded projects are projects where potential investors have already assessed the likelihood of success and found it too unlikely. When putting money into a crowdfunded project, this should be kept in mind. If you can say "I can afford to lose, but hey, it might just work", go for it. Just don't ever think it's a sure thing, or low risk.
In my DNS, I can add a section where I state that I'm authoritative for these domains when queried from internal domains, and put a wildcard entry for each domain I want to block the lookup of every host.
$ORIGIN domain.com. * IN A 127.2 $ORIGIN evildomain.ru. * IN A 127.2
"Botnet herders" (you still can't get past the misconception that this is just botnets?) don't have to, because their web server will have a section in the web server for responding to *.domain.com or *.evildomain.ru. They don't need to know in advance that the hostname used is yaddafoo4713234523.domain.com
But your hosts list cannot do wildcards and must have an entry for every possible combination. Which is impossible even for a single domain, which can answer up to 1.95*10^98 different valid hostnames with a single wildcard.

Makes me wonder how these Black Hawk helicopters fare against flak and shrapnel.
How much does a rotor blade on a UH-60M run anyway?
Oh, it was only a dent which could hammered out with a $436 hammer, standing on a $74,000 ladder and a dash of $7,000 paint.

You must be American. No one else would flaunt ignorance like this.
It's comment like "redneck Trump voters" that helped get Trump elected.
Yes, apparently some people take pride in being associated with ignorance, faith and greed.

Since the OS numbers only total up to 45.15%, where did the other 54.85% come from?
OS/2 Warp, most likely. I hear that the government still has tens of thousands of those. I'm sure you can get an NCSA Mosaic browser for them.

Hilarious - HOW can botnet herders store "4++ BILLION ENTRIES" themselves if I can't?? How could a router??? How could DNS???
They don't need to, because they can use wildcards.
In my router, I can block access to all hosts under .domain.com or *.ru with:
content-filter common-list forbid
*.domain.com
*.evildomain.ru
In my DNS, I can add a section where I state that I'm authoritative for these domains when queried from internal domains, and put a wildcard entry for each domain I want to block the lookup of every host.
$ORIGIN domain.com.
* IN A 127.2
$ORIGIN evildomain.ru.
* IN A 127.2
"Botnet herders" (you still can't get past the misconception that this is just botnets?) don't have to, because their web server will have a section in the web server for responding to *.domain.com or *.evildomain.ru.
