  1. Re:Good idea but doesn't solve the old problem on Predicting User Behavior to Improve Security · · Score: 1

    It seems like that type of issue is what the detection system is good at preventing/detecting. Of course, I agree once you catch the guy he may not be fireable, but at least with something like this in place he will most likely be caught earlier, preventing damage.

    Of course, I'm an optimist.

  2. Re:mostly downsides on Downsides to the C++ STL? · · Score: 1

    Most of the time, boundschecking notices programatical errors, ie bugs. We wrote a wrapper class for vector and similar that just does an assert then calls the inherited method. This completely compiles out and helps tremendously when debugging.

  3. Special Effects on Burrough's Martian Tales Optioned · · Score: 1

    Well, if they did make it a movie you can be
    certain the special FX would be stellar. Hopefully they will remain true to the books
    and the genre. Maybe LOTR has opened the
    doors for more great fantasy and scifi to migrate to the silver screen.

  4. Re:What API changes? on Spolsky Stands Firm on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    And a whole splew of COM Components, and COM+. Thats where the windows api is going these days.

  5. Re:Finally, Proof! on Using Tables as Speakers · · Score: 1

    Its probably these guys. I know they've been looking to expand there operations for several years now.

  6. Indrema on Sony Announces Version 1.0 Of Linux for Playstation 2 · · Score: 1

    After you fork out the $199 for the linux kit you can install all the old code for Indrema and start porting all the cool games to your new free software (500 dollar system)

  7. Little Things on Innovative Uses for Educational Technology Funds? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My school (Oregon Tech) has a similar fee that we pay, but it isn't applied to innovations or research of new technologies, but rather improving the existing infastructure. Since it started we went from unwired dorms to 10Mb. Some wireless beta programs were added, and best of all we got our own T1 for student access. (previously it was just dial up in the dorms. Ten modems for 300+ people) None of these things were very impressive, (maybe even lackluster) but they helped improve campus life 100%

  8. Re:Refunds for Searches with No Results? on Yahoo! Launches Pay-Per-Search · · Score: 1

    I don't think you're paying for the searches, but
    for the actual documents returned, which are specialized research papers and etc culled from publications.

  9. 2000-3-21 20:30:00 on Guess When Mir Will Splash · · Score: 1

    Yup thats when It will hit all right

  10. DOS Attack Filter on What AI Elements Could Improve the Web? · · Score: 2

    I don't really know how much it pertains to actuall AI or not, but a detector/tracer type utility for DOS attacks might be a good idea.
    I saw a paper pertaining to that the other day if I remember correctly.

  11. Programming The Trenchcoat Brain on Review:How the Mind Works · · Score: 1

    In "Stand on Zanzibar" by David Bruner, they have a word for them, muckers :)
    It goes into a description of the word amok.
    Its just scary to see the predictions (made in this book) come true..

  12. Thanks Rob on Lucy Linux, Dressed to Kill · · Score: 1

    I can see it now, Lucy Linux as a supermodel shaped penguin, probably with a gun and cape.
    Of course, she's married to Tux..
