It was an Israeli military effort. The general Gabi Ashkenazi admitted to have led this effort when going into retirement. Interestingly, I have read this news in several French newspaper but this information never seem to have crossed the language barrier. On both Stuxnet's and Gabi Ashkenazi's pages this fact is mentioned in the French wikipedia but not in the English one. The original source is the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Hint from a former Parisian : When Paris claims to be the first to do something, it means they copied from another town but put it to a larger scale. So they claim to be the first (of this scale) to pretend to be the ones who came up with the idea.
The 2% of false positives is not bothering me. The 0% of actual terrorist detection does. That and the fact that the terrorist liste doesn't look very different from a random list of people.
Well, maybe Samsung considered that indeed the patent laws would bite them hard if they fought MS patents. The fact that it is legal doesn't make it any less of a immoral racketing scheme. These laws need to go away.
During several years reading DVDs on linux was a mess for no good technical reason. Eventually errors were made by some constructors that allowed easy decryption.
It would be good if we could avoid a reenactment of this silly debacle that wasted a lot of precious time.
Less transactions per second means less servers and less bandwidth. 0.1% is also a target you can reach within a local geographical zone, needing only one site.
This kind of reminds me of the study that found only a small percentage of soldiers actually fired their weapons at the enemy during combat.
If we read the same source, it continued by saying that after WWII, the basic training of infantries included a psychological training to give to every soldier a bit of the killer instinct.
I hope they do not get to the same solution the workplace.
BTW, I am working from home, and procrastination, while a problem, is balanced by guilt. I usually do in the evening what I was supposed to do in the morning.
I try to not stay in pajama but what is the problem, exactly ? During summer I have worked most days shirtless, something I could not do in the office.
The cost of entry is very low. Getting 0.1% of marketshare is cheap, and would get you enough money to climb to 1% and so on.
It is expensive to get the capacity of Google from day 1 but the budget to start a decent moderate-traffic search engine is not null but is within the reach of thousands of companies.
That is supposed to be when politics begin to think about the concept of post-scarcity economics and stop thinking that science fiction is a non-serious field of literature.
But you lose the ability to brag about it when you made a correct prevision. You are also less likely to be taken seriously. Slashdot's attitude is smart : "Anonymous coward". Being anonymous is frowned upon, but is possible because of the few very legitimate reasons to do it.
Although Cleverbot managed to score well on the Turing test, the model that did that is different from the one you will find online. While the online Cleverbot searches its banks 3 times before providing an answer, the test version searched 42 times, so it probably has a little different feel.
The terrorists did not have real plans, were not well organized, their movement was not coherent. They wanted to kill Americans and make some ruckus. We answered by wanting to kill terrorist and make some ruckus.
Many security experts have proved, and the Oslo shooting case is another proof of this, that the counter-terrorism measures that have been taken are just ridiculous and would not stand in the way of a serious, motivated and well funded enemy. Most graduate students today could come up with a plan to kill 100+ americans in an attack. It has taken an incredible incompetence from the US administration for 9/11 to happen.
No, this is the sum of the retail prices of things stored on the disk. I am sure that we could make a similar sculpture that, according to RIAA, could solve the US debt crisis.

The title says it all.

Doesn't seem out of reach to regular users from my point of view...

Also, the majority of top scientists are atheists, of course their religious views do not contradict science...

Maybe. Democrat or Republican, vote for those that promise to change the rules of lobbying : http://fixcongressfirst.org/
It is only inevitable if you consider it inevitable. http://fixcongressfirst.org/

And yet lawmakers think this is still science-fiction. Whent they will realize what is possible, they'll just try to outlaw that. *sigh*

An ancient IT world in which security is more than a myth or an utopian goal. Trading security for convenience is doomed to wreck the web.

I'll hate the game and the company that caused the patent cold war to escalate to the global patent war.

In EA's version the city is clean.That is an indication of failure when it comes to atmosphere.

Just avoid the known active litigatous bastards : Tetris, Pacman (from which you could get an expensive license)

It did so by killing prior art. US decided to become a nation of lawyers instead of a nation of inventors. So long and thanks for the fish...

At the hackerspace, we agreed on something : If we want to do a useless project that is awesome but too geeky to explain, we will call it art.
"What if the interlocutor actually knows about art ?"
"Digital art"
