The paper talks about a n-dimensional space, but only looks at the 3-dimensional case. It is totaly possible that the picture looks different at other dimensions (even at two), and spoofing works better when you use that as a basis. Which of course doesn't make the others more secure should they have better results at other dimensions - the worst case is still the worst case.
No. They were mainly used to multiply and divide using logarithms (by adding/substracting them). You have two rules with logarithmic scales on them, one of which you can slide against the other. When you want to multiply the numbers a and b, you line up the 1(.0) on the slide with the a on the fixed rule, and the result is on the fixed rule where b is on the slide. It works because log(a*b) = log(a) + log(b).
Let's presume this is the case. Belief in a god has lead to a lot of violence, and Christianity (and Judaism and Islam) is based on the belief of the not-too-far-away end of humanity and all creation as we know it.
This tries to give the answer - almost. For those to lazy to read the whole paper, these Australien scientists conclude that:
It is sometimes assumed that the rapidity of biogenesis on Earth suggests that life is common in the Universe. Here we critically examine the assumptions inherent in this if-life-evolved-rapidly-life-must-be-common argument. We use the observational constraints on the rapidity of biogenesis on Earth to infer the probability of biogenesis on terrestrial planets with the same unknown probability of biogenesis as the Earth. We find that on such planets, older than ~ 1 Gyr, the probability of biogenesis is > 33% at the 95% confidence level. This quantifies an important term in the Drake Equation but does not necessarily mean that life is common in the Universe.
Warning: uses math heavily, and thus can be derided as simply theoretic. Hah-hah.

Well, it's bad enough as a rebuttal, but some people actually try to start a discussion with: "I don't get how anybody would...", without giving any reason.
A copy of (almost) every printed book or newspaper is stored in at least one public library. In some countries it is even required that you give one copy to a national archive. Why should publishing on the web be any different?
It is somewhat odd that the Slashdot crowd both wants to get rid of IP and cheers for Open Whatever, but wants their copyright protected if somebody archives their webpage or Usenet post.
Yeah, it's bloody likely that "Jorge Martins de Oliveira, MD, PhD. Full Professor and Master of UFRJ", author of the text, is the same guy as "User 956", whose Slashdot Bio consists of a quote from Arthur Schopenhauer (and nothing else), and whose Homepage consists of two images, the gotse.cx guy and another porn pic (and nothing else).

Right. If the pizza doesn't taste good when cold, it isn't good anyway. Just like beer that you can only drink when it's ice-cold - don't drink it.
"How about some Polynesian food?" Sorry for the bad pun ;-)
Maybe you should have bought a Mac from the start?
And if they were, why would they mind that a competitor went away?
Amazing how trolls world-wide come up with the same lame joke.

When 5 people sign up, there is always the chance that one (or more) can not show up.
All in all it looks like they didn't want to spend the money on a "big", ultra-expensive LCD, and sold two much cheaper screens for the same price.

I don't know, if the Congress changes something, and the change is (found) unconstitutional, wouldn't the original be put back in place automagicaly?
Well, it depends on how water-soluble those bags are. Imagine a bunch of kids with super soakers waiting near the super market...

While waiting for something in the background to finish. Ooops.
Skull. HTH. HAND.
Which raises the question: You are worried that robots roam free on the streets, but not that the military does so?
No, but they can jump real well and steer boats. Better stay away from land and other boats.
Does it have a floppy drive?
Yeah, yeah, the blue clear cases of the USB peripherals all were made to match the BSOD.

Worse than cars exploding on impact are cars exploding just as they go over that cliff.
