I believe the first such proof came years ago when a program was written that proved a simple fact about intersecting colors on a geography map. (Sorry I don't recall the problem exactly.)
I don't have easy answers to offer, but I think people are being too harsh on the lad. Nobody is (or should be) asking for easy grades, or dumbing down of material. It's just that something seems wrong when you can study so hard and still get a D or an F. Not everyone who fails is stupid, partied too much, or didn't study long hours.
It's not right that attrition rates should be high, especially when admittance to programs is already selective.
This article and its lack of content does as much to spread fear and chaos among computer users as the actual attack. These are technical problems which can be fixed. By not being clear about the threat, the article turns hackers into bogeymen that can't be stopped. Give some better info, tell us how to close the hole, and let us get back to work.
Oh they'll have an answer for that -- just buy McAfee's "protection".
Remember- your Mac is spreading viruses, even if it's not infected.... Be ashamed!
but will refuse to accept scientific principles and facts that have held firm under scrutiny for decades.
The answer is so obvious, that you are doing it yourself- rejecting the facts for an alternative conspiracy (ie. seeking some obscure "part of the brain").
People are just dumb, and they want easy answers. That's all.
It was "wrong" before Napster, when artists expected their work couldn't be copied. Today, artists have known for MANY YEARS that technology has changed.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with downloading in 2008. Don't want your media copied? Then don't produce it, fool.
I think I recall reading that a three-state system is best because it's the closest possible number to e (2.718), which was mathematically proven to be the most efficient state to process.
Since there is no known way to represent e physically due to its fraction, "3" is as good as it gets.

The real nerds are busy doing math and science somewhere, while the fake ones come here to talk about video games.
The study would simply say that business majors aren't good at anything except pimping mathematicians.
Not funny..... true.

CSS3 support would be more useful to me than passing Acid3.
What do you hide the fridge in?
Some people say the same about Microsoft.
I specifically chose biology because it was half-way between insultingly easy majors, and majors where I knew I would fail.
Most of my peers felt the same way - that we could have done better, but just weren't up to it, and anything "less" was too easy.
Math is for those insufficient at math to get by without a degree.

Not defending it, but why were "layers" so different than the now standard "z-index"? People were strangely hostile to them.
2) Blame that country when customers complain of poor quality and health risks.
3) Hire lawyers, lobby congress, and profit.

"Unauthorized" as in "forbidden by some authority". There is no such authority over imaginary property. Ideas cannot be owned.

C) They all look alike in Japan, so the system is useless.
Why can't I censor my address "for security reasons"?
I consider it a threat that anyone can scout my home for robbery (ie. the best approach and exit) without even driving by.

Look what P2P file-sharing has done to us. Even the brightest minds in university now steal others work, all thanks to illegal downloading of music.
I get the feeling that's what they really wanted... The reason they made the Air model was to up-sell buyers to Pros.
Exactly. What does Blumenthal mean "we" put a man on the moon? (Correction- NASA sent several men.)
He didn't, nor will he do anything to implement the scheme of banning kids from MySpace. 'Some computer-ie nerds will handle all that...'
I humbly protest the DA each year, but not with any judgment or anger about it.
Exploiting death for humor turns me off somehow (except for the occasional hard criminal - good riddance to them).
Of course that's not the INTENTION, but that's what it is really...
