Well, here in Germany, the police has searched quite some time for the "phantom of Heilbronn" - a women which apparently was involved with a lot of otherwise unrelated crimes at very different places. Well, after several years it turned out that the DNA was not from someone involved in the crime, but from someone involved in fabricating the cotton buds used to take the DNA probes.
Well, I used to just throw the old disks into the next black hole, relying on Stephen Hawking being right that all information thrown into a black hole is gone forever. Now he says he was wrong, and all the information from my hard disks may eventually be returned from the black hole. Does anyone know if this device can also be used to destroy black holes?
Even then, you'll never be fully comfortable with the job until you destroy the entire galaxy that the drive was in. Maybe the whole universe. You can't be too sure.
Just destroying the universe after the disk failed isn't enough. If many-worlds is true (and the paranoid sysadmin must consider this possibility), the fact that you destroyed the universe in this world doesn't guarantee that the data isn't destroyed in any other world. Indeed, you have to setup the universe-destroying device before writing the first bit of data onto the drive, and have it automatically triggered if it can't detect any accesses to the drive any more (after all, you might forget to activate it by hand in some of the universes). Only by setting it up before writing data you ensure that it will be in every universe where the disk contains any data, despite all the universe splitting going on.
Well, all people enjoy learning. It's just the difference of what they enjoy to learn. Some people enjoy learning about the latest affair of some celebrity, or about what some movie star wears at some event. I prefer learning about new things related to math, physics and computers. Those who would learn all about celebrities usually think math, physics and computers are boring. I consider celebrity stuff boring.
Also, if you give it directly to those two people, you know that if one of them should turn up dead, too, your message will be sent anyways. Since those people are inevitably some you have very close relations to, it's not unlikely that in case of a deadly accident, one of them might have been involved, too.
Indeed. You know, with x86 processors batteries tend to get depressive and commit suicide, which shortens their life, of course. With ARM they are much happier, and therefore battery suicides are rare.
Then add that functionality to the browser. There's absolutely no reason why the browser shouldn't be able to interpret PDF and SWF, just as it interprets HTML.
The problem with this is that this is done at the early childhood, and decisions about the child's education will be based on this. Thus, it has the great danger of getting a self-fulfilling prophecy: They predict that children with a certain genetic pattern will have a better chance to be good musicians, in response to this those children get better musical education, which increases their chance to be good musicians afterwards. The same goes with science etc.
Well, most people who do evil don't do it because they want to do evil, but to achieve a goal (and some don't even consider the evil they do as evil). But pure evil would do evil for the one and only reason that it is evil. That's practically the definition of pure evil. What real people do is not really relevant for the definition of pure evil, because real people, even evil ones, are not pure evil. The closest to pure evil would probably be a psychopath, but I think even a psychopath has other motives.
However, there are no people (except for the blind ones, of course) who are unable to see the difference between bright and dark. So the solution should be simple: Make the user interface work well with monochrome, and only add color as additional hints.
OK, then ask for a similar domain name at registrar A. If you like the price, correct yourself before registering ("sorry, I didn't mean exemple.com, I meant example.com") If you don't like the price, repeat with registrar B.
If it's only for mistyped domain names, they could offer a free "rename domain" during that period (i.e. you give up your mis-typed domain name in exchange for the correctly typed one). That way you always have to pay for a domain you ordered, but still can correct any typos you made without additional cost.
I do not believe that it's possible to fix a bug without knowing about it.
I disagree. You can accidentally fix a bug you didn't know about, e.g. by replacing the algorithm whose implementation was buggy with another algorithm, which you implemented correctly.
Since remote userland arbitrary-code-execution vulnerabilities are useful for malware writers even without a root exploit, there's a chance that this exploit already has been found by them.
You just have to break into a Windows computer which has access to a drive shared with Linux with home directories on it, put your exploit code onto some Linux home directory and modify.bashrc to run it. Then the next time that user starts a shell on the Linux computer, the Linux computer is owned.

I think to please RMS, it should be called GNU Grand Obliterating Device, or short GNU/GOD.

Yes.
I get you are addicted to searching for IE-only pages?
Well, I can tell you, Google addiction is nothing against Slashdot addiction. Be glad that you are not on Slashdot. Oh, wait, you are!

Damn, you made me to google for rule 34! And that after having read how dangerous seeking is!

Now read it as: "Twitter [Is] Used To Control Botnet Machines".
Headlines often omit small words like "is".
So Twitter already has experience in controlling botnet machines?
What about: "Twitter Used For Controlling Botnet Machines?"
I don't think there's any way to misinterpret that.

We would need a sample set much larger then 2 to draw any meaningful conclusions.
We'll probably have to wait fro the mouse studies to answer your questions.
The mice are also studying this? Then is must be related to the ultimate question.

Don't you want that nobody exploits your machine?
