The conventional belief is that most significant mathematical leaps are all made before the age of 30.
That sounds about right. According to another study, mathematicians reach their prime just before discovering sex, after which it is all downhill. It will give the old codgers some solace to know that they can expect a brief comeback after their wives stop having sex with them.
...the Finns have developed a refridgerated sauna for the Mediterranean market. Take a quick dip in the stiflingly hot ocean, or make angels in the baking hot sand, but be sure to run back to the welcoming chill of the ground breaking cold sauna, lest you be overcome by the merciless heat of the Mediterranean sun. The best part however, the Finns say, is that the proverbial beer in the sauna just gets better and better the slower you drink it.
If I put three people behind a NAT'd firewall, the provider sees it as one paying customer and two thieves.
This doesn't only concern end users. This concerns any organisation that obtains an address range for a fee and use NAT to connect their network, including many ISPs.
This might be the end of NAT. Good riddance and welcome IPv6!
For those of you who came in late, Unix and its workalikes (Linux etc) have grown in use exponentially since 1980.
What you say is true but basically the article is just saying that Linux and the other free Unix lookalikes are eating into the cake of the commercial Unices. I've seen enough Solaris workstations replaced with Linux machines to know that this is happening. The Unix culture is going anywhere, though. Quite the contrary.
El-Khalil concedes that the method is imperfect -- an application that's been impressed with a secret message has considerably more "negative subtractions" than an unadulterated program, making it easy to pick out through a statistical analysis.
It should be easy enough to get around this. The statistical telltale is only due to the fact that El-Khalil consistently uses the same type of instruction to encode a certain bit value. Have Hydan XOR the hidden message with a secret key that produces the right distribution of ones and zeros prior to encoding the message and the problem disappears.

How many Operating Systems do we actually need?
Three OS for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie. One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie.
It's not hard at all to modify data to create any hash value that you want, especially when you're including "deleted space" in the CRC calculations...
That kind of depends on the strength of the hash algorithm, wouldn't you say?
Evolution is also trying this, and they deliver Exchange connectivity.
As someone who uses both Outlook and XimianEvolution extensively, I think that Evolution already beats the crap out of Outlook in speed, usability and features. It still has a few rough edges and some stability problems but it is definately the best email client I have ever used. Of course, it only runs on Linux and Unices at the moment, which doesn't really put it head to head with Outlook. Looks like Kapor is planning to go after M$ on their own platform.
What is currently missing is a good server side solution (although many people are working on this). Maybe Kapor will create a viable alternative. I just hope he has the good sense to put some serious effort into the design of the client-server protocol and to document it well so that it can be easily integrated into any email client.
if linux really wants to conquer the desktop, it needs to be EXACTLY like windows
My experience from the last ten years is that the Linux community consists of those who do and those who talk. Those who talk are usually the ones who want linux to oust Windows and conquer the desktop. Unfortunately, in the last five years we have attracted an unhealty number of those who just talk.

Damn! So how do you make your speakers stay put? Hobble the legs, or what?
In fact Finland does have many universities. A great many when you consider it only has about 5 million people.
Yes, Finland is practically swarming with academics.

Now you tell me. I belong to that 99% who have been using anti-perspirant ever since we grew hair in our arm pits.
the guy in charge of putting peanuts on airplanes gets a different view than the guy who's in charge of purchasing jet fuel.
Dang. I thought my job sucked.
It's not that different from being a zoo keeper except that the monkeys are wearing a business suit.

(b) Conceal the existence or place of origin or destination of any telecommunications service.
Apparently it is legal to have a concealed weapon, but having a concealed cell phone or disabling caller ID violates the law.

Oh well. I guess I can always stuff it in a penguin suit.
And my opinion is the only one that matters to me.

The next round of globalization is sending upscale jobs offshore. They include basic research, chip design, engineering--even financial analysis.
Many of those jobs are held by immigrants anyway.
She is, and we all like women who kick butt, but what about that sexy voice?
So, it looks like MS failed to deliver the software on time, which caused a cash-flow problem for Sendo.
The contract should have had progressively increasing sanctions against slipping delivery deadlines. The Sendo execs must be kicking themselves.

That won't be our problem, though. ;)
Early indications are that kids from the Chernobyl fallout area will live to be at least 200 years old. The third arm comes in pretty handy, too.
