You're right. That's essentially what I brought up in my other post (before seeing this post). This is like the plight of spam filtering, virus detection, or any kind of warfare-counterwarfare scenario. As soon as one side comes up with a defense, the other side studies it and makes adjustments to compensate. With as varied as the results can be from author to author, I don't see a reliable detection solution coming anytime soon.
Why does anyone think this could effectively detect "robot" papers? All a robot has to do is incorporate this litmus test into its writing algorithm and make recursive changes until the paper passes.
Just as I said in the other recent post I made, the "mark of the beast" is simply talking about buying and selling; and to my knowledge I can still buy and sell things in the United States of America (and most other countries) without needing a "mark." I quite prefer it that way too. Being denied basic goods and services for survival because I made a choice about what is implanted in me is a gross injustice and thoroughly inhumane. What I am born with in this world is precisely all I should need to be treated like a human.
I don't know what Bible you've been reading, but Revelation 13:17 says, "and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name." Whether you are a Christian or not, the message is obvious: it's about economics, not about dragons (or whatever point you were trying to make). I don't think that's a hard leap of logic to make considering the comments made about what the RFID technology can/will be used for.
More technology like CoolThreads would keep me interested in their products. Also, if they offered their Sun Fire T2000 at around $5000, I would be much more motivated to pick up a box or two.
Instead of making a full comment about the French, insert your own humorous/insightful comment. I just know something has to be said about what the French will do with this. They are a big fan of the tongue.
I said, "this should probably be a post with a score of 5" not "my post should have a score of 5." The the pronoun, "this" refers to "a post." Even if you were to pick an antecedent, it would refer to the first "this" which has the context of "someone else." I was hoping that if "a post" with this information did already exist, someone would mod it up so that it would be more visible.
Wouldn't a "Digg" simply represent sensationalism at work, not positive approval? Just because the story was popular, doesn't mean that there weren't enough people who though it was lame to trigger a pull. Is it so inconceivable to imagine Digg users (who know Go Daddy is a sponsor and might even use Go Daddy as a result of this sponsorship) might find a story unflattering to Go Daddy lame? It would require a severe lack of forensic insight to not see this as possible.
Keeping in spirit with the post about a vehicle's intake "clogged" with cholesterol, it's a pretty safe bet that won't happen with generally less than 2 mg of cholesterol per 1 kg of vegetable oil. Contaminants found in refined vegetable oil such as NaOH probably make up a larger percentage. It's also debatable whether plant sterols would actually "clog" even a human arterial system.
Saying Intel is inferior one decade and superior the next isn't exactly spin. A lot actually changes in that much time. There were several years leading up to the switch that Steve didn't say anything positive about AIM architecture.
Opinion? I don't think stating that Apple thought it was good enough to use in their hardware is opinion. They ARE using the CPU in their hardware, and it would be ridiculous to assume Apple thought the CPU WASN'T good enough to use it in their hardware, but still did anyway. Circumstantial evidence of performance it may be, but opinion it is not.
Boot Camp is proof that Mac OS X running on commodity hardware won't happen anytime soon. It demonstrates what Apple wants the most: People owning Mac hardware. If Apple cared more about people experiencing Mac OS X, they wouldn't release Boot Camp and would instead offer Mac OS X for any hardware. Boot Camp draws the lines in the sand for us.
I am familiar with FPGAs already. What I had in mind for comparison was reconfigurable processors. When a reconstructive virus can "spread" fast enough to provide optimal performance for various applications, I'll pay to see the show.

Okay. I couldn't resist. The next *nix shell command prompt will say: "give me some tongue:~user$"

I might have missed someone else posting this, but then again, this should probably be a post with a score of 5 for visibility.

I also claim that Slashdot people usually are smelly and eat their
boogers, and have an IQ slightly lower than my daughters pet hamster
(that's "hamster" without a "p", btw, for any slashdot posters out
there. Try to follow me, ok?).
Furthermore, I claim that anybody that hasn't noticed by now that I'm an
opinionated bastard, and that "impolite" is my middle name, is lacking a
few clues.
Finally, it's clear that I'm not only the smartest person around, I'm also
incredibly good-looking, and that my infallible charm is also second only
to my becoming modesty.
So there. Just to clarify.

I would expect the cache size to be proportional to the data transfer rate, not the storage size. It isn't like you can access all 750 GB at one time.

You're a flaming idiot. Now, prove I'm joking.

Some of the "fanboys" are applying the new patch, and the rest are looking at the contents of your hard drive right now.

Like *NIX, it just works.
Really.
It is said that information wants to be free. This information was just going on a vacation.

The article has been corrected.
Maybe pressure measuring devices can be next on the list of virus-built machines.
I'm more interested in dynamic processors. I wonder how long it would take for a virus to complete in hardware what Transmeta does in software.
