The article says that all of the 'normal' Universe lives on one of these 'planes', and the dark matter lives on the other. This seems to be a handy explanation for "astral plane", "demon world", "dimension X", etc. etc. and many other paranormal observances -- perhaps some people can open gateways (physically or mentally) to the other plane. I guess this also raises the possibility of time/space travel via this plane.
Sounds to me like the scientists in space adapted to a new situation. You don't just erase 30 years of subconscious heuristic calculation overnight.. We don't even understand how the brain learns to catch, or how it stores the information, so how can we speculate on how hard it is to change that?
Yes, I agree with this one: the best solution is to design your project so that you don't need to have two people working on the same piece of code at once (and if my some chance you do, then one should wait for the other to finish before starting).
During the SSL handshake, the server and client say which keysizes they want to support, and it then uses the most secure one available. Usually it turns out to be 512bit or 1024bit. I think Verisign will not even issue SSL certificates for higher than 1024bit RSA.
Not entirely. Cryptography has a mathematical basis (unlike things like CPU speed, which has a technological basis, so is subject to Moore's Law). RSA rests squarely on the (presumed) fact that factorising a large prime number has a time complexity of O(n^3). Today's discovery doesn't change this, it just "inches" towards the best possible case of O(n^3). It would be a gigantic and revolutionary step for mathematics if even an O(n^2 log n) algorithm were found, and it is by no means inevitable.
My only question: why on earth aren't they using these old parts to make computer for education of the billions of poor people in Asia ??
Previous schemes were 386s etc. have been shipped to a poor villlage along with a teacher, have been wildly successful (even when the village only has a generator big enough for 1 hour of electricity a day).
Asians aren't any dumber than the rest of us, there would be no shortage of tech geeks or people who want to become tech geeks.
Your figures don't mention which of those systems run Apache, so they don't dispel the myth. Perhaps Apache is installed on all of the *nix, and half of the Windows.
There is nothing shady about their business; it's a perfectly fine idea. The world should be one where there's nothing wrong with watching movies and listening to music. The only shadiness is that the American fat cats have brainwashed everybody into mediocrity.
Why does it only receive off ethernet at about 20k/sec then? (Many win98 boxes I've seen do this, but they all send fine, and other versions of windows work fine)
There's no difference in efficiency between mallocing 1048576 bytes and mallocing 1000000 bytse. Powers of 2 are useful for efficiency now only because they match multiples of the register size of the CPU (but 1000000 does that too).
Also, computers need not be based on powers of 2 anyway, so chaining everything to 2 is losing a level of abstraction (eg. quantum computers, ternary computers, EBCDIC computers (9 bits per byte), etc.)
Slashdot Mirror
Since there's no such thing as a "virii" , introducing one should not be difficult to deal with

And then, someone (perhaps an Episode I actress) will, while eating a hot Canadian breakfast dish, make a Beowulf cluster of them..

Which part of the keyspace, exactly?
Are you saying that if DES keys are generated randomly, they might fall into the bad keyspace and be insecure?
Does this go for 3DES too?

Since RR.com is the most common source (in my xperience) of DDoS attacks, I'd guess they could easily handle a slashdotting.

But WinDows is already betTer than all the free SoftWare BeCause it has ClipPy
NFL monopoly ??? You have got to be shitting me
On the other hand, New Zealand is clearly visible.
Richard Stallman has a wife. This means he must have had a girlfriend earlier. Therefore, he should be an inspiration to all geeks out there.
...a Beowulf cluster of swimming pools?
The hydroslide could autoswitch to whichever pool had the fewest people in it
The main anti-hacking protection is its price..

If pretzels are made in Taiwan, then we may see this trade ban.

Yes, they're charging more and more for mirrors these days.
There always has to be someone on every /. story who calls it 'old news'..
At least he wrote "fascist" and not "facist" (which is more likely actually)

Is this a standard? I usually use 'b' for bytes and 'B' for bits (because 'b' has always been around for bytes)

What abbreviation do you use for "million bytes"?
