    So how much harder is it for viruses to erase experienced files than innocent files?

    and am more so worried about the weakest link in the chain: the human factor

    that's why I'll never trust nuclear weapons.

    It's no the weapons which you don't trust. It's the humans with them.

    In retrospect, "The tiger is cast" would have been cooler for Caesar to say before crossing the Rubicon...

    Yes, but have you ever tried to cast a tiger? Not only is picking it up awkward, but they don't really want to let go and become a flying creature. On the other hand, once the task is done you're likely to think a battle will be a relaxing activity.

    Latarian gallons. Each one is the same volume as our King, and costs $3/gallon. The King is very popular and the people send him endless gifts of food, much to his delight.

    Is everything which these Windows Live interfaces do provided by Pidgin within the Moodle interface? I thought Pidgin had its own IM window, and some of the stuff mentioned for this WL Moodle interface don't seem like IM methods.

  10. Update needed on Entire Moon Added To Google Earth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they're showing astronauts on the Moon they need a more recent update than the 1970s.

    Oops, I had the answer and forgot to print it. I should have created a debugged program. program = (debug) ( eigen( ! NULL ) ) run( program )

  15. Re:Freedom versus high quality pictures on Why the Photos On Wikipedia Are So Bad · · Score: 2

    Is the highest quality image one which shows the person with or without makeup? Does high quality require the lighting, retouching, and background which is preferred by the publicist?

    So that means that Senator Dorgan got the job? How good are his cartoons? Or are they only good enough for government work?

    Try my journal entry which connects noctilucent clouds to Space Shuttle launches and the Tunguska explosion.

  20. Re:Just don't use that version on New Linux Kernel Flaw Allows Null Pointer Exploits · · Score: 1

    It's simpler than not using that version. It's a version of the kernel which has only been distributed in one specialized Red Hat distribution. So it's hard to find a vulnerable machine in the wild. The other vulnerable group are bleeding-edge developers who compiled that kernel, and they'll upgrade as soon as one of them fixes it.

  21. Re:I doubt it... on Cure For Radiation Sickness Found? · · Score: 1
    Like the DNA chopping that happens three times a second in your body when carbon 14 in your DNA changes to nitrogen? How many times has that killed you?

    With radiation sickness severe enough that death is possible, delaying the death is the immediate problem. If the patient can be kept alive long enough, the radioactive material might be extracted or may simply decay away. If there are future health problems, at least the patient is alive enough to have problems.

    When you have the flu or measles, genetic damage is being done to your body. If you survive then you have the opportunity to have other health problems later, whether they're a broken leg or shingles. If you're allowed to die when you have the flu, your future options become rather limited.

    Yeah, I also lose quality in my images when there are loose dogs of war around. All the running tends to do that.

    A hundred people standing next to each other every evening taking pictures of sunset at Yosemite can generate different pictures which look similar. If they're similar enough that it's hard to tell them apart, this fellow is willing to get rid of the lower quality ones even if they're not from identical sources.
