I agree. I feel that murder is wrong not from some inherent wrongness, but because it denies the victim of the right to life, the right to free thought (they're dead), the right to free speech (they're dead), etc, etc. It is this ultimate denial of rights (well, except the right to remain silent) that makes murder wrong.
While you can fly a plane without the rudder landing it is going to be nearly impossible. Pitch & roll can combine to make a yaw, but it takes space and time you won't have during landing if you want to stay on the runway.
Well, a new substance or particle that creates the observed effects of dark matter would very likely require new physics. For example, there is no dark matter candidate particle proposed by the Standard Model, though other theories and modifications of the SM do propose possible DM particles. These would be new physics.
It's theoretically possible, but you'd have to mod minecraft to allow more than a 21x21 chunk area to be loaded at once, otherwise the computer won't have enough space to have enough memory.
KeePass allows the use of key files on USB drives (or any drive.) This allows you to control the password safe, and the key file needed for authentication forms the second (something you have) factor.
Windows got better, and fixed most of the easy exploits. Flash got a bit better, and fixed most of the easy exploits. Java and Acrobat Reader are still easy to find exploits in.We'll see what comes next.
Systems with an upper bound in energy have fewer possible configurations at or near the highest energy state, so the probability of remaining in one of those few configurations as opposed to the many, many more lower-energy configurations is low.
The SCOTUS has in the past declared that products of nature, including mathematics, are unpatentable. That's the second definition. The first definition is actually not a definition, it's implied by the Church-Turing thesis. While widely accepted that isn't (and can't be) proven, but we've never yet found a counterexample. A short, informal proof: A Turing machine can perform any computation that could be performed by a Bounded Storage Machine, such as any modern computer. The set of computations that can be performed by a Turing machine is equivalent to that of the Lambda Calculus. The Lambda calculus is a form of mathematics. Therefore, the Lambda calculus can perform any computation that a computer can perform. Since all software is a series of computations, all software can be transformed into the Lambda Calculus. Therefore, all software is equivalent to mathematics.
True, but it also shows that the idea isn't totally invalid. In the case of a computer virus the mechanics are closer to intelligent design or guided evolution, but there's still a selection function (AV detection/removal) and a change rate (new versions of the virus, or polymorphic code that changes itself in a pseudorandom fashion.) Over time viruses get better at evading antivirus, and with broadly applied but weak antivirus (eg, the availability of virustotal.com) "resistant" or evasive versions will come to dominate. So evolution is a reasonable analogy, though obviously imperfect.
It can still be a good idea to have AV software on a server, but it should likely be limited to scanning user-produced content. E-mail and file servers are good options for antivirus, the internal HR database server not so much.
I think it's more like people calling any brand of tissue "Kleenex" than it is like calling a bacterium a virus. The term "virus" has become a generic for any malware.
Given the success of genetic algorithms, yes, random changes to code can improve a system when paired with a selection function and a rapid enough change rate.
Or have a consumer electronics certification, similar to part 15 FCC or ICES-003 class B, paid for by the manufacturer (and thus eventually the consumer) to test the safety of all new devices.
If the copyright holder chooses to do so they can allow google to continue hosting the video, place ads in the video, and share ad revenue instead of simply removing the video.
Yep. And Linux systems are potentially better able to take advantage of the security than current versions of Windows. Many Linux systems are already configured to only install signed packages from the distro repository, Secure Boot allows the boot process to be secured as well. Combined with SELinux some very secure setups can be realized.
It's about the development of rocket fuels, and has a very good chapter on hybrids. Definitely worth a read.
It has a bit on hybrids, but it's somewhat outdated. Some more research has made them more viable on a larger scale, and they could likely be scaled up farther.
Fast hashes are bad for passwords. Slow hashes are bad for data integrity checking, message authentication codes, and other such things. They are similar constructs, but used for very different purposes.
If you want to verify your 1TB video collection got transmitted properly you want a fast hash to keep it from taking a long time. That same hash would be totally unsuitable for password hashing.
Essentially he's writing zeroes to the entire drive (wiping the drive) and then checking SMART to see if any write errors were reported. The zfs method is similar, writes zeroes to the pool and tells zpool to scrub the pool, which is essentially an online fsck. That will report which disks (if any) had write errors.
The controller issue is mitigated by backups, RAID, and hot spares.
Of course even with RAID 1 (mirroring) and a hot spare that's 3 drives, not to mention your backup system, though that's not normally an SSD.
Ideally you'd have the same redundancy with spinning rust drives, of course, but the higher MTBF and the higher chance of detecting a pre-failure state can allow one to get away with less, say RAID with hot-swap.

I block ads via noscript and request policy, not via adblock. So content from untrusted domains gets blocked, but not ads hosted by the site itself.

I vaguely recall at least one, but it has helped. I still prefer Foxit, Sumatra, or Okular due to speed anyway.
That, and most math journals I've seen provide a LaTeX style to use (most just use the AMS stylesheet.) This takes care of the formatting nicely.

I have /. set to display all my foes with an extra +1 to their score. I want to see what people I generally disagree with have to say.
The only way we're likely to eliminate such impulses is through genetic engineering.
