  1. Re:Unlikely. on NASA May Have to Buy Trips to Space · · Score: 1

    Remember - it doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as it makes the US #1.
    If only this were actually true... our education system would be in a lot better shape!
  2. Re:and this couldn't have come sooner? on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 3, Informative

    two days late- for the free shrimp, nasa would have had to announce by 29-Feb.

  3. gandahar! on Speed Of Light Broken With Off Shelf Components · · Score: 1

    1000 years from now, Gandahar was destroyed. 1000 years ago, Gandahar will be saved.

  4. Re:C# may not stand for long... on C# for Java Developers · · Score: 1

    And since it only runs on Windows, hence x86, I need to produce bytecode why?
    You can do all kinds of funny obfuscation in bytecode that you can't do otherwise, like naming variables "if", "for", "while", "else" "class" and so forth. makes for very-hard-to-read decompiled code.

  5. Re:...AND the challenge to the code (c) doesn't ap on May I Have Your EULA Please? · · Score: 1

    Now maybe you're a competitor writing your own ELUA[sic] who doesn't want to spend the money on lawyers to craft one for you, but instead intend to take advantage of the text THEY paid THEIR lawyers to write

    If they wanted to do this, they could simply buy the competitor's software, and read the EULA. They don't need to get it from a database simply to be able to read it. If this company were then to copy the EULA, that would be wrong, much like copying a book in a library and publishing it as your own is wrong.
  6. I don't remember what they called it, on Monitoring Your Monitor · · Score: 1

    But this is straight out of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. Coupla hackers built one on a bet in a hotel room... Just one of thousands of kickin things from that book.

  7. Future of e-commerce?? on EverQuest and the UN · · Score: 1

    What about the future of economics?! With the people who are obviously at the top of that field devoting their time to studies such as this, who will there be to tell us when there's a recession on??

  8. steganography goes digital on The Year In Ideas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone have any personal favorite website that deals with digital steganography or image watermarking in any greater depth than the Times article did? I'm interested in finding out some more of the mathematics behind it.
