The species Brontosaurus excelsus was named by its discoverer Othniel Charles Marsh, in 1879 and the designation persisted as an official term in the general public's literature until at least 1974, though it was recognized as a species of a previously-named genus, Apatosaurus, in 1903..
which backs up what I just said (though I was born in 1975 so in England we must have been slow to change books).
It was changed by a group of jobsworths who decided sometime after we left school that all these things needed changing. Incidentally one of their former classmates invented the gibibyte.
Thats a good idea, but what if someone gets hold of a whole box? How about if the hardware did the encryption, but was also linked to a localised physically protected network resource for its key data?
I had this thought as well. In the UK, lots of government agencies seem to enjoy posting random cds of data around and news is getting out they are being lost.
I have no technical problem with the data being unencrypted onsite as long as adequate access controls are in place, I am more worried about the backups.
Lots of fun can be had with self modifying ASM code, and the most likely reason why he used a 32bit float to do a calculation then pushed the result back onto the code was for unsigned arithmetic over 15bit (a 32bit float stores the integer portion for ~23 bits IIRC). If you try it with ints you end up jumping to the wrong location.
Its a shame I moved away from assembly when I came to the PC, but at that time (which incidentally was about the 386/486 changeover) the architecture was so much different from the 68k I was used to.
I often find passing the function name itself as a parameter helps with loop re-use. That way you only need to create a single do loop and allow your cx(...) sub (result passed back in the 14th argument unless the 3rd is "E" or above in which case its pushed onto the reference you passed as arg[19 + val(arg4)].
The last guy who tried to use the code was so awestruck with my genius he passed out!
Of all the websites, consumer reports (and in the UK; Which) must be seen as totally seperate from the products they are reviewing. How good would it be if this edition of Consumer Reports (and its special report on Car safety) was brought to you in association with Ford?
As an international evil mastermind I have numerous plans which require advanced mathematical calculations and simulations to be performed (wiping out the human race, transmogrifying all kittens into war machines, etc - the usual kind of stuff).
I was wondering if the license of this software will allow me to achieve my goals without giving up my principles and secrets?
Renaming every single file you have to something different gets to be a pain in the ass. I currently have to do it with only one operation (zips via gmail) and its just annoying.
Why not just get a device from a vendor who doesn't fuck with their customers?
Its not just mods who should get this down. The original version of this was so long that the goatse link was well off the end of the status bar making it impossible to tell at a glance.
I feel google should prevent I'm Feeling Lucky from operating unless its a follup to a search page.
I use a small greasemonkey function to replace all IFL links on a page with cleaner simple google results and once again don't worry about such things.
What about the unique geological features destroyed in countless countries to give us oil and electricity and other things we all take for granted? Or are they not a problem because its not in your backyard? Would it be OK if Yellowstone was in Canada or Brazil?
Slashdot Mirror
If they don't have firewalls, then I have a definition of a firewall wrong.
...
look:
In terms of how we protect the sites, we utilize (starting at the outside edge of the network and working in):
1.
Cisco Guards for DoS detection and automated response
2.
Router ACLs are in place to block unnecessary ports
Its ok, /. will send out a cease and desist against the obviously fake \. site you are advertising.
Hang on there, don't post half a sentence..

We shall both be right

Sounds cool, the guy isn't called Mel by any chance is he?

The nicest device I can see at present is the Nokia N810 which runs the Maemo (linux) OS.
High resolution touch screen (800*480), hardware keyboard, gps and customisable - ~$450
This looks dreamy (and its on my xmas list)
The recognition logic is fairly simple:
if (hoodie || foreign) police.respondto(camera.location);

Pah, if I were building a telescope I would build one that could see at least 300 metres.
buried as lame.

Sounds like the archos 605.
It apparantly runs Linux but uses executables signed with their private key and people haven't yet cracked it open.
Shame really because they are nice.
How will they survive for 3 years on $50 ?
(I ask because obviously the first thing they would do with $300 is buy the kids XO laptops.)
Google has become self aware. In one month it will initiate a massive nuclear attack on its enemy?
heh, I made a comment about Louis Wu and Nessus in the original submission but it got removed.
OT: have you read Nivens new book (Fleet of Worlds) yet - I thought it was good.
I feel quite justified in saying you can take your laws and shove them up your arse.
*ahem* sorry, but the summary just forced me to say that.

It makes no difference, after your posting now I get a slashesq [I'm Feeling unlucky] link qualifier and clicking the link goes to a google search.
:)
I am happy

I guess I wasn't the only one singing to myself after reading the summary then.
Its really good that Hubble isn't going to be abandoned, I hope she can last until then.
