Actually, its EASY to learn to not overflow buffers....and for that matter, to check a size to make sure its not negative (another source of security problems relating to buffers and type casting). There's really no excuse for the lazy programming that leads to these problems.......and sendmail has caused much grief in the past because of it, and still is causing these problems.
Postfix sure is easier on my system (with 200K per process) than the pig sendmail (1.2M per process)....easy to configure, easy to integrate with other software.
Sendmail is archaic garbage, and has had discovered buffer overflow problems one after another for over 15 years...time to throw it out altogether.
Liquid Hydrogen and LOX rockets only make water.....we just have to stop using those solid fuel and fossil fuel rockets. Using solar power to make the fuel from water would mean zero net heat or water vapor. We should start putting collectors on all the barren sunny rocky places on earth.
Better get your money back on that B.S. pal, primes don't have factors other than 1 and themselves. Now factoring a large number into its prime components, that might be something.;)
But it solves many near term problems, including heat pollution if we only intercept sunlight that was going to hit the earth's surface anyway. After our energy & heat/emission problems fixed, then we can worry about spaceship drives and power supplies for colonies far from the sun
3 way entanglement is also a problem if any of the electrons is less than 18 years old or more than two years younger than any of the others in the case of more than one being less than 18 years old
nope, the specific gravity of aluminum is 2.6989, which is to say a block of aluminum is 2.7 times as heavy as a block of liquid water the same size. Now lithium's is 0.5, but using that as structural material would be very, very bad.
of course, we already have a fusion generator in the sky that showers the earth with usable energy. We also have 100,000's of square miles of rocky deserted nothingness in every continent. Instead of billions on a fusion plant (and billions on ways to concentrate the fusable isotopes of hydrogen), why not just work on solar power, more efficient lighting (perhaps biochemical), better motors (synthetic muscles or superconductivity), low power semiconductors, etc.
after "putting a layer of indexing on top of things", I can still see the usefulness of allowing some boolean operators (OR and NOT come to mind) in the queries
Would certainly have been more useful / helpful to know what in the world CEHT's (the person asking) field and class of problems are being considered? Are you trying to do numerical methods to solve PDE or DE? Stats with regression analysis? Throw us a bone here!
They are betting on theories that predict a quadrupole gravitational wave, not a dipolar one as EM; this is the reason for the two axis. A red or blue shift does not change the speed of light (and in any event will be negligible as the laser will NOT be accelerated to any appreciable fraction of lightspeed in relation to the receiver); simply the measured distance in one tube will shrink as the other enlongates as a gravitational wave passes (or so theory predicts).
why waste time sequencing, just get one of those other machines in the movies that takes in the DNA sample and draws a picture of the organism (some have the 3D upgrade that also rotates a rendered model) in less than 10 seconds.
I don't see any Solaris boxes on that list either (nor HP/UX, IRIX, or AIX)

nanotech might make coined & printed money obsolete, but I disagree about gold & other "precious" metals. There is a world of difference in the energy requirements to do chemical transformation and nuclear ones. So yes, a dollar bill can be duplicated by rearranging atoms of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorous and oxygen....but to make gold you're going to need gold atoms, which is to say, gold.
Serious business (as in serious about making & handling money) will not be at Solaris 9 for another year or two yet....Solaris 9 is too young for all the needed patches to come out. Heck, all the places I've worked & consulted for are largely at Solaris 2.6, with 8 being tested.
Funny, I've administered IRIX, HP/UX, Solaris, SunOS over the past 13 years....and after administering (and doing systems & application programming) for Linux for the past 4 years, I haven't found it to be less reliable than the others. In fact, I note that MORE patches for security and reliability are required for the proprietary OS's than Linux (those "monster patch" CD's for Solaris are HUGE, man!). Also, I see many of the huge proprietary vendors of operating systems are now SELLING Linux, as it erodes the market for their closed source OS offerings.
I would predict that Linux will destroy AIX, IRIX and HP/UX.....and Sun's planned weak CPU offerings for the next 3-4 years will make running Solaris very unattractive.
You can get very cheap Ultrasparc Sun boxes already loaded with Solaris 7 or 8 on eBay...a year ago I bought Ultra 170e for $200 (and now they're going for HALF that), and besides the Solaris 8 loaded on it, I've put 2.6 and 7 on it also (multiple OS's so easy on Sparc with SCSI compared to PC world).
I like this idea better than a cgi-bin shell which might pass along naughty combinations of characters, and has everything in plain text to risk snooping.

Broken backwards compatibility is one kind of cruft. Feature bloat is another.

Well,it's 2003 and XP still runs DOS programs...so there's a good chance there will be more layers of compatibility stuff and old cruft!
