I'm pretty sure there's some redundancy built in, so you need more than 120 PB of raw disk storage to provide 120 PB of usable storage. If they don't add redundancy, they will have an unpleasant experience as soon as the first hard disk fails (and with 200,000 of them, this will be very soon).
Indeed, there should be a strict separation between documents (things you merely view and possibly edit) and programs (things which do something). Unfortunately that line has been crossed by about every document format, from office files (Word, Excel,...) over HTML (JavaScript) to PDF.
There should be a set of standard document formats which are guaranteed to not contain any executable code whatsoever, so except for possibly exploiting buffer overflows in interpreting code, displaying the documents is safe. It should be impossible by specification to insert any "active content", i.e. programs, in such documents.
What information regarding their case can ICE hope to get from the seized computer?
For example if the traffic in question really came from someone else through the TOR exit node as claimed. After all, he could well have downloaded the file himself but then claimed "oh, it was coming through TOR, I'm not guilty!" If the file is on his hard drive, he'll have a hard time to explain it.
But in that case, you are simply connecting to a compromised router. The fact that that router then connects to *another* router can be ignored. That problem should be dealt with differently.
But shouldn't any solution to that problem also solve the other problem?
Is it really important that this data is unpredictable, or is "random" here used in the meaning of "arbitrary", i.e. it doesn't matter what that data is?
I told her about the Unity Home launcher thing, where she can move the mouse to the upper left corner and type in what she wants to do. "Like Google?" she replied. YES!
I've got a great idea: Expand that line to a multi-line display where you can also see previous inputs. We just need a name for that... command line?
Good software arises from doing one thing, and only one thing, well. That's a cornerstone of the UNIX philosophy.
Supporting multiple desktops is the antithesis of that philosophy.
Quite the opposite is the case. Your only hope to work well on several desktops is to use that principle. Because otherwise your stuff will be so deeply entrenched into one desktop that it simply won't work well on the other one.
On his HID aesthetic, it turns out the mouse had a correct solution: one button for selecting, a second button to summon a menu of actions (where your eyes are already looking), and a wheel for scrolling in between the two buttons.
Except that Apple's mouse was famous for having only one button, because two buttons were considered to be too complicated...
Given that it has about the mass of Jupiter, it would be earth which would orbit this planet, not the other way round. (Actually, both would orbit the common center of mass, of course, but that would be much closer to this planet's center than to earth's center.) In other words, earth would be the moon in that case.
The number of weather extremes will get larger. A prediction which turned out true.
I guess you are thinking of predictions like "in the year 2020, we will have an average temperature of X degrees" - but for that, they would have to be able to predict human behaviour. For example, the current financial crisis has probably reduced oil consumption, and thus CO2 emission (for the simple fact that most people could afford less). Which enters in the calculations for the climate. Now if the researchers had been able to predict that, they wouldn't need to worry about funding.:-)
Yeah, also "I'm a cool atheist". That's what you get for editing a text after it's written, but forgetting to check that everything is still consistent.:-)
According to the tips, I get the following text would be perfect:
How's it going. I'm sorry I'm an cool atheist, but I noticed that your name pretty much shows a good taste, haha. I also apologize that my favourite movies are awesome. I'm think vegetarian zombie metal bands are pretty good, but grad school physics literature is kinda fascinating, too. I'm curious what pretty awkward tattoos you probably won't mention, lol.
Would it have been so hard to write "online dating sites" instead of "OKCupid" so everyone knows what this is about (not to mention that this is sort of product placement, given that there are definitely other such sites; heck, the article even mentions others!)?
Hell, here you can turn left on red if it doesn't cross a lane of traffic (one way to one way).
I can't imagine a situation where you could do that and where a traffic light would make sense to begin with. But maybe that rule is simply to reduce the damage of putting traffic lights on crossroads which don't need one?

If he's only listening, he's not a man in the middle but an eavesdropper. And the existing protocols already protect against eavesdropping.
Destructive interference?
Sure. Everyone knows that country music is the best weapon against attackers.
Interesting. And it doesn't matter that it doesn't protect against DOS because all wireless communication is subject to DOS anyway.
But is it subject to Windows as well? :-)

I see, you have a very low level of abstraction in your buildings. :-)

Wasnt this posted already?
Its like they created a new thread because the other thread had a lot of posts and they didnt want their message to be overlooked.
They just wanted to proof that they are also capable of making dupes. So you don't have to worry losing that essential feature of Slashdot. :-)
Yeah, also "I'm a cool atheist". That's what you get for editing a text after it's written, but forgetting to check that everything is still consistent. :-)
No, they didn't.
Well, what could be a more apt way to leave?
Maybe he just wanted to find out why he's still single.

Moreover, you don't know if a web site does it until you visited that web site. And then it's too late (unless you use NoScript&Co.)
More importantly they are designed to capture data exclusively in cases where there's a reason to assume you've done something wrong.
I can't imagine a situation where you could do that and where a traffic light would make sense to begin with.
