Has relativity been discounted somehow? Simply approach the speed of light and then return. You'll have traveled into the future as far as you're concerned.
No you can't, and perhaps you should elaborate on how you think we can tell a 17,000 mph dummy warhead with the same radar and heat signature as a real warhead from a real warhead...? This should be interesting. Stick to your Tom Clancy novels.
...method. The same method we proposed to defeat the ABM sites around Moskva in the 80's. Dummy targets. A warhead bus is modified to carry warhead 'dummies', especially on systems designed for higher yield weapons (think megaton range(s)) which tend to carry fewer warheads in any case. As long as no obvious ballistic or material properties are evident with these 'dummy targets' during atmospheric translation, the missile defense system would likely not be able to discriminate which warheads were real or which were fake. There were many other 'spoofing' ideas as well, all of which precluded the possibility of a valid defense against a determined and large scale nuclear attack.
That's an enormous disservice to Wolfram. Yeah, I know, flamebait, but I have never managed to understand why people think Kurzweil knows the first thing about 'A.I.'? Have they ever looked at his work in the field? LOL.
Apparently stupid people modded the original as flamebait when by stupid I mean BOTH SIDES of the argument over 'when life begins.' LOL. They must have identified themselves as the target of my statement and felt that only they were 'stupid.';)

Read, most amusingly, the blogger's attempt to repudiate the study based upon patching. LOL.
The basic problem with any study like this is that Linux and Windows admins approach things differently. *nix setups tend to spread the workload an application stack across multiple machines and Windows admins tend to load the entire stack on one or two machines. A study tends to try and mimic one or the other (Windows focused ones pick the 'all on one' stack approach, the *nix ones [depending upon what the scenario is] tend be less monolithic on the hardware level [oooh, flexibility:)].)
No offense, but this is why you'd be a terrible scientist. You admit that you could not be objective, that does not mean that others cannot whether you believe that they are or do not believe so.
The very nature of the slashdot readership by and large suggests an inability to be impartial so it begs the question, why on earth would anyone like the good doctor agree to be objective in a discussion with a mob of people who are for the most part totally subjective?
Personally, I tend to write zealotry off as one of two things, either youthful inexperience or a minor personality disorder. Afterall, it's all a toolbox and EVERYTHING has caveats.
Totally agree, I'm just saying that it's a 'new thing' to corporate America because it isn't some black hole of exotic technology anymore. It's the thing that will save you money and seems to have a reasonable IT talent pool supply and hey, "our kids are using it mister CFO";).
All you've proven is that you're 12 years old and terrible at analogies. Links and facts, PMSL. You supplied a link to a FBI statistic about crime rates. That really proves that your analogy is valid. Hehe.
Sorry, I meant a different context as you suspect. Most linux distributions (like my slack install) are by far more secure due to more than a decade of progressive focus on security, but what I meant by popularity is that (wonderfully) large companies and even smaller ones are finding the idea of using Linux and associated/like minded components where they can now. I had zero problems replacing a remote machine configuration we use that used to require IIS for web services with a TCP/IP server I wrote running on slackware.:)
Anybody can make a ridiculous metaphor that makes something TOTALLY unrelated look accurate. You state "It will keep coming up because people who don't understand security will keep bringing it up" whilst simultaneously demonstrating that you don't understand security by using the bank/private residence example to mirror the issue we're discussing.
Banks aren't particularly secure, they simple require a different risk. I can walk into a bank with a gun and steal money. Now, depending upon how ruthless I wish to be, I could very likely get away with it (you'd be shocked how often banks are robbed successfully (in the short term.) The bank isn't more secure, the repercussions are more severe. This is what makes your analogy terrible.
It will come up because it is true. As easily stop the tides. As for the worm, I didn't say it was a flaw in Linux, I was merely pointing out that security issues that affect Linux systems will rise as the success of Linux rises. Maybe you should mod that as 'master of the obvious', but it doesn't make it any less accurate.
Actually, I act as though Linux's popularity in corporate America is new, and it is. That certainly doesn't mean it hasn't been in use prior to this (I've been using various flavors at Software Companies with other developers since the mid-90's) but its visibility has only relatively recently begun to embrace its promise. No longer is Linux a viable corporate solution for just those who have problems with Windows. Even those who don't have Windows issues (who're they?;)) would benefit in many cases from using Linux in their IT strategies.
That's funny, and a typical slashdot experience. Someone bashes M$ when something that could even be remotely construed as critical of Linux, and then someone like me points out the hypocrisy of their post, and get modded as a troll. LOL. Next thing you know it will be modded 'Nazi'. Standard slashdot/internet model.
