The parts of Australia that don't have cell ph. coverage, are either, desert, most of central australia, and therefore no rain. Or jungle, northern queensland, northern territories, which rain all the time!:)
We had a sign by our toilet at college with two pictures, one with a man standing on the seat lid squating down with a big X over it and the other with him sitting normally with a tick. Seems the seat lids were being broken by students deciding to stand on the thing?
If you're deploying special forces into your capital city, to carry out a police function and there hasn't been a miltary coup, there had better be a damn good reason
How many of ur every-day beat cops do you think have training to handle a situation, where hesitation can mean the difference between 30+ people dead and 1 person, who they had every reason to suspect was a terrorist? ( refer to the numerous posts detailing his suspect behaviour ).
I don't think many, if any. You are just conjecturing they were special forces anyway. If your tailing someone, you don't wear police uniforms, if you do, you should be laying bricks.
Its a pity he died, however the circumstances bear out the result.
You want to bet your life that a terrorist can't detonate his explosives, which is the assumption they were operating under, when he's pinned to the ground?
Yes, well done anonymous coward, I don't see you out there protecting the public.
At least you had the guts to not post AC. I don't know why its so hard to comprehend the fact that if it wasn't the US, it was going to be the Soviets. If not the Soviets, the british, french etc.. The development of the A-Bomb was inevitable. At question was only who would get there first. I for one am glad it was the US as opposed to the Soviets, and I'm not American.
"And it has created more than 10,000 millionaires from stock options, including me. (I worked for Microsoft from 1991 to 1999 as a technology manager.) "
he probably has more money then you'll ever have in ur lifetime.
If it's really that fucking easy to write a virus, it ought to be that easy to fix the vulnerability exploiting it. Part of intelligence is standing on the shoulders of others and not reinventing the wheel.
You really have no idea do u.
Fixing these exploits are a lot harder, because not only do they have to go through a rigorous Q&A period to determine if the patch doesn't have adverse effects on other parts of the system, but they have to worry about breaking backwards compatibility etc.. Which is quite a strong doctrine at Microsoft. Think of all the problems with the windowing environment (there are countless hacks for these) that can't be fixed because doing so would break a decade of backwards compatibility.
In fact a patch was issued my micrsoft, updating the countless millions of systems before the virus became widespread is the real problem.
What this kid did could have been replicated by any hundreds of the current slashdot readers here with little effort. He didn't have to worry about how his exploit would effect peoples development, he didn't have to worry that the virus might inadvertantly cause more damage etc.. (which is probably a good thing from a virus writers pt of view).
Hey good idea, for some reason that never really crossed my mind.
I guess I'm still under the impression that each article has been contributed by a expert in that field. But yeah as pointed out, its hardly an authoritative reference.
First thing I thought when I saw Monad was its definition from category theory. A Monad is a triple, containing a functor, and 2 natural homomorphisms.
Less cryptic, is its use in Haskell as way of parameterizing computations. Specifically its used to produce the I/O Monad which is parameterized by some type A in the pair IO : a -> world -> (a, world).
More in line with ur question, the word Monad comes from greek , and it means "one" "single " or "unique". So I guess they think this is a "unique" bit of work.

I run OpenSUSE 10.0, to suspend, I go log out->suspend....
done.
Wierd, I can suspend my thinkpad T43 in about 30 seconds.
I just read that using Opera, you insensitive clod.
Yeah could be, this was when I was doing postgrad at Canterbury Uni in ChristChurch, NZ, a lot of Asians there.
What about VHDL code?

Well his undergraduate degree is in Mathematics and Economics, so I should imagine roman numerals wouldn't be to much of a suprise.
Sorry to hear that, no pun intended, how did your tinnitus develop?
I think you mean "Manos : The hands of Fate", MYST3K version only if you actually do plan on getting it.

Yes, because terrorist m.o. is to move around in groups, brandish side arms and shout "STOP, POLICE".
yeah probably those ones.
so?

He's obviously talking about his work hrs dimwit.
I like your sig.
Type theory is giving me headaches at the moment.
I don't think he'd care,

Just curious.
I think I'll have to wait a few years before I'm in a position to make a noteworthy contribution in my current field.

Microsoft Research lives at Cambridge. They would be very interested in innovative compression techinques.
Already done, westwood had Sonic tanks in Dune!
