If a website has one IPv4 server and one IPv6 server and one is down or slow, I will go to the other. That is just natural. If enough websites do that, IPv6 will have the reputation of being faster and there will be pressure from clients to get this.
It is very different. Encryption relies on the administrator keeping a private key secret. Hashing does not make such an assumption. When you encrypt, you cut informations in parts big enough to not be brute-forceable and add garbage at the end if necessary. Some encryption algorithms guarantee that there is not enough energy in the universe to brute-force them. It is fundamentally different from hashing + salt, where your bruteforcing just has to discover a user-memorized password, the salt being known. Bruteforcing an encryption requires you to also discover the 64K of garbage that were added at the end, which is pretty much impossible.
Have them have equal shares no matter what. Say for example that 20% of benefits will be redistributed amongst employees. Break the taboo that often exist in many companies about the price negotiations going on and how much a customer will pay, about the benefits of the company.
I didn't assume anything. We knew he has a lot of extra-marital affairs and innocent or not he is toasted for the 2012 elections as the trial won't happen in time for the primary elections of the socialist party. Where do you see me assuming anything else ?
Don't mock our catapults, it kept the filthy Englishmen at bay...
Ego-boo ! I love when people ask for my advices:)
Arab spring : I doubt there is much more to it than meets the eye. I doubt anyone has a switch to make populations revolt and if such a switch existed, I doubt it would be stealthy. Actually, many persons had an interest in the statu-quo so I really think this is genuine indignation that sparked the protest. Gaddafi used to be a smart man with many interesting projects but has apparently declined in the last decade. Whet really started the international indignation were the informations that he ordered fighter planes (made in France, yay) to shoot rockets at protesters. An unprecedented move as far as I am aware. The only "conspiracy" I am aware of concerning Libya is from the French governement : before their involvement in the war, there were two scandals unfolding with two different ministers, one having received "gifts" from Egypt, another one from Tunisia, and proposing police help during the revolution.
I am not sure good governments will come out of the revolutions but it is an unpredictable process : you have to go through this chaotic period to remove a dictator. These population take their chances. My bet is that half of them will have a democracy in a few years and another half will have a dictatorship.
About money : heh, euro isn't looking too well either. It is currently stronger than the dollar but things could invert quickly. If you are worried about these, you should look into bitcoin. It is a project to make a distributed crypto-currency. Not backed up by much but its scarcity is algorithmically enforced (no money-printing is possible). REally interesting project.
About the big bad jew bankers : There is a theory here that two big clans of banks with different practices are fighting : the protestant ones and the jewish ones. It tries to justify that the big banks began to form when it was forbidden for catholics to lend money. Quite frankly, I am not sure what credence to give to that.
About Israel : Obama showed some balls but it may be a very good service he gives to Israel : in September, Palestinian will unilaterally declare the formation of their state, hoping to rally a 2/3 majority in the UN assembly. This probably forced him to move.
About Iran : During the Bush years, Iran has shown that they have some of the most skillful diplomats. And they have learned a lesson from the cold war : no sane man can wish for a nuclear war, therefore if you want to do nuclear blackmail, you have to appear insane. I don't worry too much about Iran. I think that a good way to resolve this issue is to remove the taboo on one of the main reason for Iran's nuke program : Israel's nuclear program. I think a M.A.D. doctrine should be put in place in middle east. That is only possible if Israel acknowledge their nukes and sign the non proliferation treaty. This is a reasonable demand I think.
And about apocalypse : Nuclear war and the peak oil are my two biggest concerns as of today.
Here is one for you, the next time some Yank gets smart assed with you about anything, just whisper "Patriot Act" to them. If they have half a brain they will STFU.
The Patriot act is a fucking shame. More even now that Obama called it crucial for US security. But we also have anti-terrorist policies that would frighten you as well. Here we have military with assault rifles patrolling in airports and subway stations. Warrent-less searches is the norm here and wiretapping happens without even a debate. Just don't overestimate us. When the post-9/11 world fell into madness, we followed just like most western countries.
Yes, but our enlightened leaders use the same trick. He promised to reduce unemployment and just changed the metric. Now they only count people "actively looking for a job" which means people who accept to go twice a month to useless interviews sometimes far away from where they live in order to get some unemployment aid from the government.
Here is a question for you guys. What was the story with the IMF chief from France, the one that ended up in some frame up job in NY?
What is best in this story is that he was leading the polls for the 2012 presidential elections in France, but now he is pretty much toasted. But he is a socialist only in name, his candidature was frowned upon by a lot of members of the socialist party. Maybe he needed more time to make a change but the IMF didn't look very socialist to a lot of observers during the crisis. Maybe slightly more keynesian. And he was known to have a dangerous inclination for excessive sex. I started believing in the conspiracy theory when I first heard about the event, he has so many enemies and this is the perfect accusation to do, but it is unfortunately too credible and I am not sure what to believe anymore. He is power-hungry, sex-hungry, and not that much of a socialist.
This story however sparked a debate about how the media considers politicians' sex life. There is apparently a widespread belief in US that French do not take sex-crimes very seriously. This is not the case. We just consider extra-marital affairs as not important and private matters, our two previous presidents had mistresses, our current one married thrice, we just don't care and were shocked that the Clinton scandal was so important in US. However, rape is a completely different matter and is very serious. Voting for a cheating husband is not a problem, voting for a raper is another thing completely. And now we discover that the French press covered some past sex-crimes, thinking that the French public would only consider that as "personal matters". In particular there is a rumor about a former minister that had a sex-party with children in a foreign country. Journalists are wondering how to disclose what they know about this without being accused of slander, as the government at the time covered it.
I ran into lots of them in MMORPGs such as Asheron's Call, particularly the Dark Tide server. They were fun to fight and fight with.
Unfortunately none of these games allowed us the weapon that our history taught us to excel at : the cow catapult !
They live longer, have more free time, have medical and JOBS. I think they are infinitely freer than the corporate wage slaves that we are here.
yes, yes, yes and no. Our unemployment rate (~9.5%) is higher than the one in US (8.7%) but I think it is easier to live as an unemployed person in France than as someone with the minimum wage in US. however, the media I read have some bias so I cannot be sure.
Every time a Rightwinger brays about how socialism doesn't work, pointing to the fall of Russia, I think of the French. In fact, I think of a lot of European countries that are socialists and they haven't "failed".
That is something that has always amazed me. In France we have two words with completely different meaning : socialism and communism, that seem to be synonymous in US. We have a socialist party, that has been 14 years in power and did an okay job, and we have a communist party, that has never been in power. Saying they are the same is really like saying that conservative means nazi (and we are talking about extreme politics so I think Godwin laws do not apply). It is inherently absurd.
BTW, in France we have a right-wing government since 1995. Chirac during 12 years hasn't changed much and Sarkozy since 2007 actively tried to destroy the social institutions (retirement, healthcare, family planning, etc...). We compare them to GW Bush, that he actually liked. Next time you want to think about a successful European socialist country, think about Scandinavian countries. They are our models. We hope to be back in the race in 2012.
I think they would stop if Sony took some simple steps : Lifts the legal restrictions they put on GeoHot, authorize the tinkering of their device, step back on the no-linux policy on PS3s. If they did that, they would stop being the primary targets and I bet hackers would focus instead on other patent trolls, wikileaks censors, ACTA lobbyists, DRM enforcers...
This is an interesting situation : they will attack the most asshat of the crowd, just don't be that one.
I am happy to see someone like Google stating this clearly, but isn't that a bit hypocritical ? They started this all and promote gmail and Google Documents
The moon has several effects on earth : tidal effects on land and water and some degree of protection from meteors. Also knowing it is probably an uncommon characteristic of out planet, the moon requirement, while not exactly an assumption, was a worthy hypothesis. If you observe a single event (apparition of life) on a planet that has a remarkable feature that happens only to 1% of the planets, it is not unreasonable to look for a causal link. It is not unreasonable either to hypothesize a coincidence.
Maybe one day these two countries will outgrow this kind of petty disputes and see such things as opportunities rather than occasions to fight. Let's hope...
The problem is that there is an IP bubble right now : some companies are valued several millions only because they own software patents. If you remove that value all of a sudden, you burst the bubble. No one will have the courage to do that.
Also on another article, in French It is said that the white house declared this law as "crucial for the security of USA). It is not the first time that Obama do not care about it but it is the first time I see him endorse it fully. That is now official : even a progressive democrat in power is a threat to privacy. What are we suposed to do now ?
Written chat ?
Seriously, the guys that hate that are usually the same kind of person that are uncomfortable with the idea that conversations are logged and that you are allowed to think a while before answering.

Put a fast server on the IPV6 address. Give an incentive to switch.

Sanitize all the user entered data. Expect Bobby Tables.
Smart and green are not synonymous. Smart however is often used to save resources.
And a cultural tradition of pressuring women into making child despite all the data indiacting this is a bad idea.

No, they provide drivers for linux, they don't provide open source drivers, which only Intel does : http://intellinuxgraphics.org/license.html
For that, they deserve all the advertisement they can get from the community.

I'm sure the president has the ability to veto this though. Surely he will?
"Because Obama was in France for meetings of the Group of Eight nations, he directed that an autopen machine, which holds a pen and replicates his signature, be used to sign the bill, the White House said."
