  1. Re:Anyone looking for work in security? on Gangs Extort Companies With DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    You can anybody you want, but when you get DDoS'd they're just going to be another bystander. We don't have the ability to stop a DDoS on the client (victim) side.

  2. Re:life on Plankton in the Clouds · · Score: 2, Insightful
    This is not flamebait. Religions don't have a very good track record when it comes to accepting new discoveries that contradict them. Besides, this view is fairly common among those of us who choose to think for ourselves... FWIW, although I was raised in church, I started tuning out uber-religious people after a "good christian" woman called me a fairly nasty name over a debate about whether dinosaurs had really existed. Her view was since they were not mentioned explicitly in the Bible, they never existed, and there was no chance she was wrong about it (science be damned!). Whatever.

    BTW, blind faith in your religion is not only a problem in the South. For example, does any rational Muslim really believe that Allah condones the killing of Jews... or Catholics vs. Protestants in Ireland...

  3. Why the Electoral College must go on Congress to Make PATRIOT Act Permanent · · Score: 1
    Population of:

    New York:19,011,378

    Rhode Island 1,058,920

    Electoral College Votes of: New York 33

    Rhode Island 4

    Votes per Electoral College Vote:

    New York: 576,102

    Rhode Island: 264,730

    Think about it. A Rhode Island vote is effectively worth 2 New York votes.

    Muslim clerics have been calling for Jihad since the late 1970's to no avail. Members of Al Qaeda commit terrorist acts because they're terrorists, not because they're Muslim.

    Sorry, but you're off. In case you were wondering, the Carnot cycle describes a heat engine (specifically, the most efficient heat engine allowed by the Second Law). Click the link for a demo: Carnot Engine What you're thinking of is the Refrigeration Cycle Cheers!

    That's exactly what it is. Reading that article gave me flashbacks from Thermodynamics... (shudder)

  7. Re:True with a caveat on A Hydrogen-Based Economy · · Score: 1

    What you're talking about is a perpetual motion machine, which is a violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Why am I replying to an AC?
