According to wikipedia, Orwell used 1984 because it was written in 1948. I don't think it was meant to be a prediction of timing, just indicating the future. For all we know though, he may have given us a few extra years of freedom by writing it, but technology in 2008 is much more conducive to total observation than it was in 1984.
The dumping code was gamecube code. The dumper has been released, but you have to use a hardware hack to get it to work. From there they figured out how to get code to run through burnt discs. This required a drive chip. The guy who figured that out did not want it publicly released because he wanted a backup hack so that they can run code on future updated systems to find exploits. From reading tmbinc's blog at http://debugmo.de/?m=200801 , I think that this hack will escalate into a firmware hack, as it sounds like they found a bug in the firmware authentication.
Unfortunately for this theory, the location of breaks is found by timing the echo of a signal. A second break would cause a shorter time to echo on that end. It would be observable.
sorry about that, the html ate my post. an open interval (a,b) is the set of all numbers x where a < x < b. As to the order, first order the polynomials. This is done by degree, then coefficients 3x^2 > -3x^2 > x > x - 1 > 1... now, a/b > c/d iff a*d > b*c.
Yea, I typoed out least. You are correct that one can construct the reals from cauchy sequences of rationals. I was pointing out that if one doesn't start with rationals as their field, he doesn't get reals. I think I left out a bit too much for it to have been clear. The space in question should be the space of (equivalence classes of) cauchy sequences of (equivalence classes of) rational functions. For the topology on the space of equivalence classes of rational functions, use the order topology (basis of open intervals). To determine order, use the same technique as for rationals, that is a/b > c/d iff a*d > c*b only applied to polynomials. The topology on the cauchy space is given by the limit. This satisfies the first 12 axioms for the reals, and cauchy sequences converge, but does not have the least upper bound property.
If you want the punch line, 1/n converges to 0 and 01/n, but the set {1/n} has no greatest lower bound. 1/xx/x^2-1...1/n
Completeness in the real numbers is not that every Cauchy sequence converges, it is that every set bounded above has an upper bound. That real Cauchy sequences converge follows from this property, but not the other way around. For an example take rational functions as your field with an order on their coefficients(ie 1x+1 > 1x > 1 > 1/x). Showing that cauchy sequences converge and that this not equivalent to the reader is left as an exercise to the reader.
You are right in thinking that the grandparent is paranoid. The gene sequences are freely available on the web. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=full_report&list_uids=672 details various forms of BRCA1. Also, patenting genes is not as nebulous as it was a few years ago. Now one must have a use, and not just a diagnostic use, for the gene to get a patent.
Evolution works towards more optimal forms, so it is likely and almost guaranteed that animals on other similar planets would share forms with animals on this one. Secondly, if humans were killed off today, another ape would evolve down a similar path as humans have. Birds and small animals are unlikely candidates for sentience because for them increased brain size is very costly to survival. They wouldn't be able to fly or meet the energy demands. That leaves large animals as being the only ones that can evolve sentience first. With all this in mind, ape like creatures are likely to take on these roles in a lot of intelligent worlds. A more through breakdown: Cats and other strict predators must maintain claws, out competing the evolution of tool grasping hands. Without hands the selection for bigger brains would be smaller, since tools were the main use. Grazing animals: these tend to be stupider than predators, enough said. Elephants and other super large animals: while these can easily support the physical needs of brain expansion, space requirements and gestation periods result in slower evolution. I won't rule out the existence of a babar world; there probably is one, but they are probably pretty rare. From the sea: only specialized animals such as the octopus shows any promise here. Dophins and whales simply are not able to use tools.
Why obsess about tools? The use of tools provides an immediate advantage to the smarter individuals in a group and to smarter groups. A combination of tool use and language is necessary for large brains to be selectively useful.
I understand that you are joking, but if the terrorists were satisfied with malls, we would see more attacks there. What they want to attack are symbols of power. They don't attack only to hurt us, but to bolster their cause at home. By attacking symbols of power, they appear strong. While this might not be the same in Israel, this has been an American standard. Why do you think that Al quaeda attacked the same building twice? Not for the body count, but for the symbolism.
Saturday's powerball numbers are 5 12 24 26 37 : 25. You can all wait till then to believe. If it sounds insane to give you these numbers, it is not. I will make enough off the stock market tomorrow to pay the lottery winners myself.
As for the tasmanian devils, it seems to me to be the wrong idea to attempt to eradicate the disease. The devils will most likely evolve an immune system competent enough to ward off the face disease within a few generations. If humans intervene, this will never happen. The process of evolution of the immune system would select for outliers--animals with a varied or unique immune system--which would leave the devils in a better place when the next disease comes around. For any immune system to work well, it must be different from a significant portion of the population. Inbreeding, as in dogs, kills diversity and leaves the species vulnerable. This is somewhat acceptable in dogs, as they are cared for by people. The devils cannot have constant care while living in the wild. Nonetheless, rabid conservationists attempt to solve the problem by quarantineing devils with weaker immune systems than those that would come out of this so called crisis. This behaviour only increases the chance that the devils will have an outbreak in the future and does nothing to bolster the devil's chances for long term survival.
To recap, a disease like this thins out the middle of the population, leaving the more genetically diverse individuals with a chance to reproduce massively and fill in the void left by the wake of the disease. The result is a less genetically similar population. A second point to be considered is that the middle might be better at rapid reproduction than the outliers (because of point muations), so reinstating them could be dangerous as they will again dominate the population. If they are left on their own, quick reproduction and survival would be quickly selected for.
But alas, people love to meddle with other species especially when they are "cute and defenseless". The conservationists will manage to enstill another generation with these ethics, to the long-term detriment of many species that they wish to preserve.
Yea, but remember that each needs to be on one of 40 different usb busses. Otherwise they would be able to snoop each others' data. You will have to install a lot of usb cards or do a lot of hotswapping. Also, I would recomend that you get as many different brands of keyboards as possible. Holy water might be a good investment too, to sanctify them. If the keyboard daemon gets is not removed, all efforts are in vain anyway.
Indeed, many Christians I have knonw were very paranoid of "cults", which to them include basically everything from Christian Scientists to Mormons. The groups they feared worst were those that claimed ties to christianity. They feared that these were made by the devil himself to draw people away from the "True Faith". The same type of people are the ones that would probably want a computer program removed if it were called a daemon, just for refference to the word. Look at your craziest fears then up them 10 fold and you might see how religiously paranoid some are.

I'll bet it is really good at video storage!
Actually, no. An extra bit doubles the work for a brute force attack. Do the math.

This pick is certainly more appealing than next year's pick: The Machines.

You must read at +5 because I just saw a +4 insightful/stupid conspiracy theory.
That would probably crash the script kiddies.
If they are bad aliens, we simply ask them if they want the same fate as the 9th planet had. They won't mess with us after that.

In regards to a GAME nonetheless.
And surely in yours, it is cause for massive terrorism against it.
