Maybe they just rounded off, but a third of a billion... Yeah, that's around £75,000 these days. You could buy a broom cupboard in Sheffield for that, and still have some money left over for a pint or two.
I'm sure if he thought that him not having a computer would make the world a better place, he'd get rid of it.
He obviously thinks that he can make it better by having one.
why couldn't the message be given via a pre-arranged signal It's the same problem as OTPs. If you can get the "pre-arranged signal" secretly to and from the participants, then why not just use that same method to get the message out too?
I know that you can get directions when using maps.google.co.uk, but can I programatically use it?
Also, can someone with IE tell me if my page works OK - I can't test it.
I had this idea ages ago. Privacy and Big Brother issues notwithstanding, it makes perfect sense. If the average speed of cars on the M4 Westbound at Chippenham is < 10 mph, then possibly look at re-routing drivers a different way. It's what I wrote my tracker with in mind. (Although I don't know anywhere I can get access to a free route calculating API though).

Amarok + www.last.fm account = a really nice way for someone (*AA) to be able to see exactly what you have on your computer by sniffing your network traffic, or subpoenaing a copy of the last.fm database.
'a thousand million' It's because in the UK, a billion was (is still?) a million million, although it's pretty much taken as standard now as a 1000 million. I assume they wanted to avoid confusion.
Also, a little known fact - the UK has only just (in the last year or 2) paid off the debt that they had with the US. Apparently, the US offered to help, as long as the UK paid all their troop costs, fuel costs, etc. The UK has been paying it off slowly since 1945, although the US let us off the interest. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6215847.stm
Wow. In that case, I get 27 days vacation a year. I think 25 is the legal minimum in the UK.
As for holidays, I'd guess about 20 a year - Christmas, Easter, Bank hols, etc.
Sick - well, I think it differs per employer - mine is about 24 I think.
No wonder you guys never get a chance to leave the US and see what the rest of the world is about.
The chance of you responding gets less as the post gets older, but....
A SYN flood works because the OS of the "attacked" has to allocate memory for each SYN connection. Thus, sending 10000 SYN requests over 5 minutes chews up memory. When an OS receives a 56 byte ICMP request, it sends back the reply, and doesn't have to utilise any memory "remembering" it.
As I understand it, the problem occurs when it "costs" less to send the attack than the attack produces. I.e. send a broadcast to a subnet with a forged source address, and bam, all the computers on the subnet respond to the victim's address. A standard ping is pretty much 1:1. If you are able to bombard the server with pings, then you can bombard whoever you want with pings.

Damnit, you spotted the flaw in my argument. Pistols at dawn, Sir! I demand my satisfaction.

Arse. Try again.

I haven't played recent games, ... snip ... hit where they will dodge to.
I see I've played you on UT 2004 before. :(
Aaah, good point.
Caucasian. Although I've never been to the Caucauses.
I'll just wait until Last.fm use SSL for the connection from me to them.

ASLR - Hmm. 32, Male, Bristol - what's the R for these days? I can't keep up with the youngsters.

Ooops, got that a bit wrong, after re-reading. Never mind, no-one will be reading this far down the tree.

What is the difference between holiday and vacation then? I thought the second was just the US name for the first?

A week? Isn't that about half an annual allowance in the US? /me is smug with 27 days.
