There was an excuse given by these guys' advisor in the article about these guys working for 10 years and they should get a degree for that, even if they didn't exactly display a command of the mathmatics behind their theory.
This is absolute bullshit!
After 10 years of patiently explaining the basics over and over again the advisor was probably ready to get rid of these boneheads by whatever means necessary, even if it meant giving them degrees.
I am tired of Slashdot's ceaseless battering of the physics community in the name of sensationalism. This is a blatant attempt to sully the good name of physics just because of the writer's inability to understand it.
All professions have their quacks and con artists. Surely physics is no exception? To a layman one mad professor looks much like another.
God is omnipotent yet it would be impossible for him to create a rock he could not lift. Therefore, God does not exist. Right? Right? Is that a paradox?:-)
It is within God's power to cease to be omnipotent. You got a problem with that, friend?
Moreover, the astronauts reputedly had gobs of cheese between their toes when they came back. The smell alone would have been enough to convince most people.
Right up to the age of twelve, or so, bashing Windows on Slashdot is the most fun you can have on your own in the privacy of your home. When you get older, it's the second most fun thing.
I use Win2k every single day. Then I come home from work, fire up Mozilla on my Linux box, and bash Windows on Slashdot. It keeps me sane.
Soon it will be time to retire this trusty old computer of mine. On the very last day, I will install Windows XP, eager with anticipation. When it's done, I will go the shed in the back yard, to get the sledge hammer.
It's not really an anti-Microsoft bias, it's more of an anti-Microsoft reflex.
Reflexes are evolution's way of saving lives. Poke your finger into some hot coals and the back of your hand hits your forehead before you can say "Hot!". It's the same with Windows.
By the time a non-technical user figures out how to submit a bug report, the bug has already been fixed by the more technical users. (Besides, open source doesn't have bugs anyway.;-)
Actually it would be quite nice to see some of these "marketing gurus" put a little more thought into their spam. Today, some of the most carefully crafted content on TV is commercials (lamentably, also some of the worst). Watch and learn. I wouldn't mind receiving a spam that is fresh, funny, engaging, and didn't involve a virgin, my cock, a septic tank, or a gentleman from Nigeria. I wouldn't mind a funny beer commercial, for instance.
Lucky break those metal heads chose to model Terminator after old Arnie. Probably the specifications read "Big, dense, abrasive". If they'd picked someone brighter we'd be screwed for sure.
This DNA comes from a heavily inbred population and may contain high concentrations of recessive traits. You might to take note of this fact if you intend to splice and combine this DNA with some of our own.
If the hardware limits the number of aggregates that a core router can handle, it's fairly easy for an attacker to saturate the hardware.
Pushing the filtering all the way back to the edge nodes of the source networks may also be difficult, as detecting the aggregates is probably a lot easier than detecting individual malicious sources (you would like to leave the legitimate sources unblocked). Ultimately this would be the way to go, though. Applying ingress filtering universally to combat source address spoofing would be a good start.
Seriously, the parent is not a troll. People have been trying to make a tablet PC for years and it simply doesn't sell. After all, it's just a laptop without a keyboard, which makes it unusable for any serious work and still too heavy to use as a home appliance.

Disney's version wasn't an eyeball -- it was a talking testicle!
Well, Mr. Mouse is certainly going for the bit that hurt the most. He must be a former gang member.
It's a good thing you still have free speech in the US. Looks like you're going to need it.

...and neither are you. That's why we're both reading Slashdot.
and I demand that it be called "GNU/Microsoft"
Hey, wait...

Because most of the people who read this site need to LIGHTEN UP FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!
Look, a Red Hat and a rash are already getting on my nerves but a Pink Hat might just drive me over the edge.

So, this would be a commercial then?

First we critize MS when their securtity fails, now that their security is improving we still critize their efforts. Grow up.
Why stop when it seems to be working?
Microsoft Windows 2000 has been awarded Common Criteria Certification.
Sounds like Windows 2000 is the lowest common denominator.

No but it's, well, pretty and works pretty well.
Looks like I attributed the quote to the wrong Bush, thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps understandable as I had to judge by the content. ;-)
I glimpsed this in a trailer of West Wing and had to translate it from Finnish to English. Should be accurate now, I hope.
um, this was a reference to WarGames... ;^)
Do you think he had a hand in SkyNet as well?

Professor Falkin was always saying, "Leave a backdoor in any program you write, just in case your code becomes self-aware."
I can't help thinking that a fairly high percentage of current Microsoft employees must be former students of his.

Doesn't IPv6 fix this?
No. IPv6 improves a lot of things but it doesn't fix this. Sorry.
