  1. Re:Skimming? on Yahoo Messenger Blocking youtube.com URLs? · · Score: 1

    Wow.
    I would give my right arm to track these things visually across a world map.
    It must be one of the most complex fractals ever created and the url is the key.
    Words can change and there are a thousand ways to say and mean "take a look at this" and a million responses.
    Listen to those responses and you have your perfect keywords to subjects.
    However the flower will not blossom if it is forced, it must be seeded correctly and allowed to grow.

    Information is power, talk face to face if you don't want it abused.

  4. Please Help Us on Indian ISPs Taxed for Generating "Light Energy" · · Score: 3, Funny

    We are looking to find an algorythm which can compress data into as many 0's as possible.
    We will pay handsomly for such an algorythm since our light bill will be substantially lowered.
    Note, we have already tried piping the data through /dev/null and whilst this has the desired effect, we cannot rebuild the data at the other end.
    In this case, the lights are off but we are home.

    Incidentally, our engineers did try to come up with a novel way to transmit binary data using darkness alone.
    We transmitted a zero as a single off state, and a one as a double off state, this saves electricity and light but our engineers are again having trouble reading it.

  5. If this black hole actually emits xrays on Black Hole Observed by X-Ray Satellite · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then isn't it just a star in a different frequency?

    Could we consider our own sun a Yellow hole since we cannot see into the middle of it?

    However, the post processing this weekend has left much cleaning up.

    Remember folks, when your family is poorly don't let them drink Rasberry milkshake.
    Whilst the coloring may help to identify the last bits needing cleaning you will not be able to remove it from your memory.

    I hope someone here is intelligent enough to come up with a sensible alternative or fix which does not involve installing Linux or another OS.

  12. Windows Media player mashup on IE7 To Ship With Windows Patches Tomorrow [Not] · · Score: 1

    Does Windows Media Player still leave traces in Internet Explorers' History?

    I say this because I discovered the default WMP plugin for Firefox (identified on installation) leaves traces in Internet Explorers history and cache.

    Clearing firefoxes cache does not remove this...

    I realise its not an IE problem specifically and its not a Firefox problem, but its something that surprised me...

  13. Re:Impressing on The BBC's Honeypot PC · · Score: 1

    Probing an unused port is a waste of time anyway.
    Its making connections to unsecure software running on a machine that causes the problem.
    People are welcome to portscan me anytime they like and I will not hide.

    People worry about needing a firewall to protect them when in reality a good collection of secure by default programs running on a machine is the best way to operate.

  14. Re:Is the algorithm available? on Netflix Prize Competitor Already Beats Netflix · · Score: 1

    Yes, become a netflix customer and they will show you their current algorythm in practice.
    However I am more interested in getting my hands on the raw data to just have look around.

    However a team must be registered to get at it.
    If there is no other way around this I will do so, but think its a waste.

  23. Re:That's part of what makes astronauts still cool on Small Object Hit Space Shuttle Last Month · · Score: 1

    Agreed, keeping the payload safe inside the tip of a rocket rather than attached to the side is logically sensible.

  24. Re:That's part of what makes astronauts still cool on Small Object Hit Space Shuttle Last Month · · Score: 3, Informative

    Whilst I agree with you about the shuttle in some respects, a rocket based ship won't save you from the kind of impact we are discussing.
    I personally think the radiator was the best place for an impact to occur.
    The multiple honeycomb layers absorb impact better than a solid single plate (this is the same reason they used aerogel to capture space dust).
    A single THWACK on a hard shell could send a shockwave through the craft moving the damage zone elsewhere, better to coat the entire surface in shock absorbing material.
