According to the paper, the creators already make changes to obscure the botnet on a frequent basis. This paper won't make them any more paranoid than they already are.
CUDA isn't yet suited to running on a device that's already running a display. After about 5 seconds of executing code, the program will crash.
Instead, you need to have either another CUDA capable graphics card on your system or a Tesla. Another option is to run your program on Linux without an X server.
I'm currently finishing up my senior seminar on CUDA. It's some neat stuff, and I can't wait to see it have everyday uses. In general, data parallel algorithms are easier to implement with CUDA than something like POSIX threads, and run a helluva lot faster because of the numerous ALU's.
I know this is not the point of your post, but I'm pretty sure that the McDonald's coffee you're talking about was far hotter than any food should ever be served, especially at a drive-through window. The woman's burns were far greater than any coffee burn you would get from coffee you made in your own home. I don't particularly care for huge punitive awards, but they certainly owed the woman enough money to cover her medical expenses and probably some lost time at work.
The belief that there's nothing wrong with watching porn is an unpopular political view, at least here in North Carolina. Try being a pot-smoking atheist that watches porn in a place that's so religious. People tell me my life will amount to nothing because I smoke pot, that I'll never have a relationship with a woman because I watch porn, and that I'm a terrible person because I don't believe in God.
Of course, they're all quite wrong. I'm about to have my BS in Computer Science, earned in a four year timespan, with a couple academic scholarships. I'm also getting married to the woman who is my best friend in June. But nobody cares what I actually am, so many people would rather let their prejudice run wild. Reminds me of how people view the Pakistanis I used to work for. Folks make terrible assumptions about them because they believe in Islam (suicide bomber, wife beater), but they're really the nicest people I've ever worked for.
Actually, they'll find that Enlightenment is superior to XP! They'll figure it out in no time because surely the people who are going to outsmart terrorist masterminds are smart enough to learn to use a new GUI!
Sounds a lot like Freenet. http://www.freenetproject.org/ It's still kinda slow, but it's still getting better. The only problem I have with it at the moment is that there's very little content worth seeing on it.
I know that my videogame playing leads me to spend far more money than I would if I spent my time on a more constructive hobby. Anyone can become weak and do foolish things.
The people with 20,000 feedback are the hardest to deal with anyway. They always have the crazy descriptions that are borderline unreadable, take minutes to load, and have the shipping price buried in something that looks like a legal document. You won't be missed by the buyers during your silly little boycott.
The only time I've gotten a bad deal on E-Bay was some "power seller" that sent me a radio with a bad tape player and then tried to take me to arbitration over the bad feedback!
You've got a point there, but Windows doesn't come with anything useful installed except IE, notepad, and telnet.
I guess I just have higher standards for the usefulness of Linux than Windows since most default Linux distros are more useful than the default Windows config.
It comes with a modem that doesn't work in Linux. Flash isn't installed by default.
Of course, the reviewer is also a moron for complaining that it doesn't support programs written for other operating systems. It certainly does support Windows apps much better than Windows supports Linux apps.
Why hasn't anyone posted about how Nintendo intends to actually make more money by producing fewer units, thereby allowing them to sell more units that they don't have?
Looks like the attack on Estonia was a failure since everybody knows it was Russia.
Deniability plays no role because if they put programs on people's computers, they'll pretty quickly put it on the wrong person's computer. The NSA is an organization of human beings that are not interested in getting fired because of some exposure of illegal dealings.
Nobody on Slashdot trusts governments, but you make vague claims about widespread government and business use of botnets. Care to show us some examples?
I don't understand why the NSA needs a botnet; they have all the computing power they need and know how to spoof anything else. They don't need your computer to do their dirtywork; they can do it all on their own.
I'm not certain, but I think the two main points are that 1. Filing lawsuits against spammers has great profit potential 2. Some judges are stupid and you will go to jail because of it
Looks like it. I'm pretty sure Psychonauts doesn't work on 360 right now, and that's one of the titles that was announced.
What I'd really like to see happen with this is to copy my existing Xbox games to my hard drive. I've got 105 free gigs for no reason at the moment!
I hope I'm not ruining your joke, but you'd need to make sure you using NRZ encoding. Because of the NRZ encoding, you'd need an impossibly good clock on the receiving end to know exactly how many ones you actually got.
If more people wrote like this, more stuff would be worth reading. In the dismal cavern of the internet, vivid style is the only glimmer of hope remaining.

Well, just sign up for their hosting service! I'm sure it's all part of a wonderful bundle that makes everything so cheap.
Another story:
I was picking up my wireless from my neighbor and my roommate was using my computer for internet access via crossover cable.
I needed to know the contents of his AIM messages so I fired up Wireshark.

Just use a different DNS server. I started using OpenDNS a while ago because the DNS servers at my school were quite unreliable.

Oh yeah, this isn't Digg!
I don't have a job, you insensitive clod!

Services do pay sales tax. I work in a restaurant, and it pays sales tax. Trust me on this one, I've had an accounting class.

I remember a couple of years ago my drink infringed all over my computer's IC's. It was not at all happy.

I knew the compile would take a long time, but months sounds excessive!
Why don't they prevent kids from calling 900 phone sex numbers first?
Or walking in on their parents by accident? How's that for harmful?
