We've had multiple clients configure their database servers to virus scan all file changes. If you're ever looking for a way to tank your database performance, try this one.
Among academia, recognition is vital. If you don't publish you don't succeed. If academic security researchers could only publish their results anonymously then they would lose their jobs. The graduate school maxim is "publish or perish."
Proudly signing your full legal name is what distinguishes researchers from hackers.
I'm a hereditary bathroom reader. My parents' bathroom has a few dozen scientific magazines within reach of the toilet. While it often takes several minutes for us to undergo the movement, we're often on the john for ten or fifteen minutes after the important business has been done because Scientific American is just that fascinating.
This is often a quite healthy pursuit as it allows us to take a break from stressful activities and reflect in quiet meditation. It's also healthy because of all the practical knowledge the practice produces. I learned about the FDA's new food pyramid in the bathroom. I also learned that fruit flies hear by spinning their noses.
With a.xxx TLD I'd finally be able to distinguish between fullofspunk.net as a motivational business website and fullofspunk.xxx as a site featuring pictures and videos of semen.
It will also allow us to distinguish between sites run by Landover Baptist Church, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.
If you can log in using FlashCookies, someone who steals your computer can log in using FlashCookies.
I would much rather type my password, answer a captcha, and whatever else every time I log in to my bank than make it at all easier for an unauthorized user of my computer to log in to my bank. I'm even annoyed that Firefox auto-suggests my bank login.
I once tried to leave a comment on an article on a local newspaper's website. My subject had the word "Don't" in it, and I got a SQL error back from PHP. I changed my post and added "This website is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Send data as parameters" at the end of the comment.
I wonder how likely it is that the newspaper's website designer reads the comments generated by code he created. Or reads the error logs spewing SQL.
I get what amounts to a "this page has JavaScript code that's not terminating in a reasonable amount of time" dialogs periodically viewing Slashdot stories in Firefox 2 on GNOME. They even allow me to stop the script. YMMV.
If she's wearing granny panties and a maxi pad, she's on her period. If she's wearing underwear that would be troublesome to remove blood spots from, she's not.
Come June, I may just hot synch her schedule with an iPhone.
My MacMini came preloaded with a bunch of things I didn't need (MS Office demo, Apple Pages demo, iWeb) and a bunch of things I did need (iTunes, Mail, Dashboard widgets). I removed the things I didn't need by clicking on them in the Applications folder and hitting Apple-Delete. When I went to burn a CD it didn't seem to run any special software. When I restarted a few days later it didn't boot any faster.
My install disc even came with a top notch integrated development environment and GUI builder.
It's amazing what good system design and vertical integration can do.
Does the cheaper calculation include the cost of storing it for 10 kiloyears? Does it cover insurance for storage problems that arise 3 kiloyears in the future?
How do you even internalize externalities over that much time?
I've advocated this before. Rather than your neighborhood Blockbuster holding the same limited set of movies as the one a mile away, they could have the same stock on display and a file cabinet of download/burn movies. You can order any movie ever digitized. If they don't have the movie you want, they download it and give you a copy. When you bring it back, they keep it to hand to the next person who wants your obscure flick, saving the download time.
They could also have preview stations where you can check out an obscure film and see if it's interesting. But all of this assumes that Blockbuster cares about interesting and obscure movies, despite their name.
I like how one of the team members is "a Mac." You can take it to all the meetings for less than $30 an hour and it's full of good ideas that won't come out in a year of weekly meetings.

Does a processor which translates x86 instructions on the fly in hardware count as an "otherwise emulated hardware system?"
All space software should now be written in a garbage-collected language.
It would be poetically just if the $1M used for training turned out to save Boston from an invasion of pixelated space aliens with German accents.

Will Microsoft prosecute me if I distribute copies of these cartoons without permission?

Owning public domain content because you show it is like owning some air because you once exhaled it.
Better start paying Cesar royalties.

Who will be the first to implement a DVD with enough layers to implement the OSI network model?

Because the Zed File System sounds like it's a new version of an old line editor.
Copyright infringement is the sincerest form of flattery.
Creationists could use this argument to refute that mice evolved from reptiles... if they accepted fossil dating explanations.
Unlike Vista, BSD's had symlinks for a quarter of a century, so Apple's developers have plenty of time to work on UI improvements.

Even if blood is not thicker than water, it can be used to make the water thinner.
