    How about trying to understand how to integrate people with differing skills into normal society...

    Like by providing them with productive and meaningful jobs?

  3. Re:Nuclear! on Expanding the Electricity Grid May Be a Mistake · · Score: 1

    I actually work in the nuclear power industry (AP1000 FTW!) and I can't really imagine a future where all of our energy is from nuclear. Sure it can replace coal, but it's not going to phase out hydro and I expect someday someone will give us 80% efficient solar panels and New Mexico will be the first state to get all of their energy via solar.

    Nuclear is great in my opinion, it's safe, clean and efficient. With fuel reprocessing it could be even better in the USA. However, solar, wind, hydro and maybe even exercise centers are still going to be included in our erergy supply.

    A diversified approach is the way to go.

  4. NOT installed on China Delays "Green Dam" Internet Filter · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to all reports that I've read Sony did not install the program, merely placed the executable on the computer to meet the governments requirements. Sounds like a smart compromise to me.

    Lots of things could have kept US aircraft from getting shot down in Vietnam.

    Stay the hell away from the war might have been a good place to start.

    A way to remotely set the phone to full volume and play a siren-tone non-stop would be nice too.

    Or a remote self-destruct feature.

    Isn't that the same thing?

    Nero calculated where and when Spock would come out of the BH. He waited 25 years for him to come out so that he could capture him and get the red matter. After capturing Spock and the red matter he drilled a hole in Vulcan and tossed in a drop.

    That's why James Kirk was able to grow up between the first time we see Nero and the second time.

    You are quite right, I was thinking something completely different.

    v=SQRT(GM/r)

    So for a given radius the velocity would be the same.

    Thanks for catching it.

    Not if their masses are different. Different masses require different speeds to keep the same orbit.

    I disagree, I have often wished for an always on camera. Too many time do I realize that a fun experience of mine is gone and rapidly fleeing my memory. If I had something that would record stuff for me I would be able to keep those moments and share them.

    A Practical Method for Watermarking Java Programs

    Akito Monden, Hajimu Iida, Ken-ichi Matsumoto, Koji Torii, Nara Institute of Science and Technology
    Katsuro Inoue , Osaka University

    Java programs distributed through Internet are now suffering from program theft. It is because Java programs can be easily decomposed into reusable class files and even decompiled into source code by program users. In this paper, we propose a practical method that discourages program theft by embedding Java programs with a digital watermark. Embedding a program developer's copyright notation as a watermark in Java class files will ensure the legal ownership of class files. Our embedding method is discernible by program users, yet enable us to identify an illegal program that contains stolen class files. The result of the experiment to evaluate our method showed most of the watermarks (20 out of 23) embedded in class files survived two kinds of attacks that attempt to erase watermarks: an obfuscactor attack, and a decompile-recompile attack.
