Interesting but twisted approach. The technologically more straightforward approach would be a girl accelerator aiming into a cloud chamber (=particle detektor; a sauna may work, too) where the girl hits the target (e.g. yourself) and reacts in a way that is truly worth examining.
Could you please make page 2 of comments actually be page 2 of the comments. I might be incredibly naive, but it seems something more like page 1.5.
I can confirm this. There was a case were I tried to view an 8 pages thread, and all the 8 pages came up as the same first page. Only as I changed from the threaded view to the flat view I was able to see some of the later postings. There are definitely bugs in the paging code.
Some years ago they discussed if the new millennium would begin 2000 or 2001. Definitely it begins in 2004. Contemporary web standards for Slashdot! I get crazy now and party like there's no tomorrow! Whooohhhhhooo!
Everyone here knows if windowsupdate.microsoft.com had been compromised, people would be droning on about how it's some sort of illustration of Microsoft's security.
Their update server wasn't compromised, but the debian archive also wasn't compromised in this case. But, yes, we have to work harder to make our servers secure. And we will never reach the point were our systems will be unvulnerable. So what is your point? You complain that there aren't enough anti-oss-trolls here?
Does this mean that I can't talk about viruses using code-samples over the internet? I can't download and study exploits anymore? If there is any possibility to encode the virus-code to circumvent the filter, then the virus can possibly do the same...
All signs point to it being cheaper to buy a dual opteron over the not so long term simply for the power saving features at idle. I figure that the new machine would pay for itself in less than a year.
How do you calculate this? Even if you could save more than 200 watt consumption this would be less than 2000 KWh per year, which costs less than $200 in my country. The slowest Opteron available at this time costs more than that.
dual Athlon MP, which uses about the same amount of power at idle as at full utilization
I measure a 20 watt difference per CPU (MP 2000+) between idle and full utilization at my workstation. I wish it was more, but it is definitely a difference.
gotta love how they study something by smashing it into peices. I always pictured using the same technique to study how a radio works by shooting bullets into it, and then observing the peices as they fly out of the radio:-)
After Heisenberg tried this he discovered his famous uncertainty princinple: the more precise you measure the inner workings of the radio, the more likely it is that it changes its mode of operation in a major way.
The fact that the server you're pointing me to can't deliver the page you intended doesn't exactly increase my trust into your ability to judge the probability that a certain calculating machine will do the right thing.
No, they just saw this stuff on TV. Once Fritz gains access to the Star Trek archives he won't again be so easily distracted and outplayed by Kasparov using his secret weapon: "how do you feel?".
I think you're right. But I'm still astonished that a search for "word" yields 1125 hits, while "linux" has only 365 hits. "Word" is a word that I would certainly filter out completely, but "linux" isn't a word in any natural language I am aware of. So they're still biased as hell. Only consider the top hits for "linux":
1. hit: SuSE Linux 9.0 at Amazon.com 2. hit: rather useless link to ebay.com 3. hit: Introducing Linux on tech.msn.com (thankfully, this link doesn't even work) 4. hit: Alternatives to Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP 5. hit: linux.org [first google-quality hit]
I think the worst job has to be the poor webmaster that has to keep track of reposts of articles on his site. Not only boring, but apparently quite a challenge....
Testing sample #7327. Sniff, sniff. Ohhh yes. Hmmm. Sniff. Yes. I think I smelled this fart 3 months ago. Comparing with sample #3984; sample #3985; sample #3986 - match! OK, discard this...
.NET runtime virtually eliminating (probably) most of the programming vulnerabilities
That was one of the core idea of Java. Microsoft takes these ideas and makes them easier to use. Security is hard to understand. That's usually the first thing they remove to make their shit popular. How much of the code of a real production system will be secure managed code? And how much of it will be "fast" and "easy to use"?
I will happily move my 586 to Solaris X86 if SCO is willing to pay for it. Why not? It will simply drain them.
Are you sure? You know, Sun and Microsoft are both paying pretty large sums to SCO, although it makes no sense (if you assume that there is no conspiracy). So you give the money they spent on SCO back to Sun and Microsoft and migrate your business to their respective plattforms. How does this hurt any of these guys?
I'm willing to bet that this will be one of the most hotly desired DVD releases in the history of DVDs, and movie releases in general.
I know now how the people in the former soviet union felt when they stood in front of the empty shelves. What again was the reason they didn't release it earlier? According to the laws of free market, there must have been no demand for it... Otherwise somebody would have delivered. But on the other hand, if somebody had a monopoly... a monopoly granted by the state... then they could create an artificial shortage...
Slashdot Mirror
Because the TAT-14 cable network is shaped like a ring
That on a geeky, tech oriented site such as this, we could have a slighty better description.
OK, the cable has the shape of the intersection of a 3 dimensional space with a 4 dimensional hyper-torus. Satisfied?

I store the few things I need beside me on the street, where I sit and yarn. BTW, have you seen my cool new spinning-wheel
First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.

I hate to say it, but Microsoft's haven't been compromised, and they're the bigger target.
Not true.

The robot is only $100 but replacement ink cartridges for it cost $50 each.
Until a hacker developes a firmware that lets it suck blood for fuel.
This is obviously a rip-off from Leonardo da Vinci.

This new technolgy is not very helpful to the exceedingly anti-social. Don't we deserve some programming effort too?
I already have a really great solution for this.
But I share it with nobody!
Of course, when everybody is making $150,000 per annum, the inflation rate will make it seem like $35,000.
Who cares about inflation rates anymore when roasted pigeons fly into your open mouth?

Just imagine what will happen once they manage negative sizes!
I imagine: 800i GHz in the first generation and even more imaginary in the following years!
The University of Illinois has developed again the world's fastest transistor operating at over 500 GHz
If only they had documented the damn thing, they wouldn't have to develop it twice!
Perhaps this is the beginning of the end of the "beginning of the end of bluetooth" statements?
Dunno, I'm just a honest, hardworking undertaker.
Bring out your wirelesses! Bring out your wirelesses!
Tomato plants can get the Tobacco Mosaic virus, too.
Frightening. Is IE also vulnerable?
Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.
Very insightful. So, is the conclusion that we should keep the two separated?
