If you have 100 files all of one size, you'll have to do 4950 comparisons.
You only have to do 4950 comparisons if you have 100 unique files.
What I do is pop the first file from the list, to use as a standard, and compare all the files with it, block by block. If a block fails to match, I give up on that file matching the standard. The files that don't match generally don't go very far, and don't take much time. For the ones that match, I would have taken all that time if I was using a hash method anyway. As for reading the standard file multiple times: It goes fast because it's in cache.
The ones that match get taken from the list. Obviously I don't compare the one which match with each other. That would be stupid.
Then I go back to the list and rinse/repeat until there are less than 2 files.
I have done this many times with a set of 3 million files which take up about 600GB.
Yes, sure, she has a pure, wonderful, beautiful voice, blah blah blah. But that's the point. In my experience, the notes she sings travel hundreds of yards down the corridor and infect everyone's office.
Play it over and over and over and over and over and... people will be tearing their hair out. We could call it... I don't know... the Streisand Effect?
I'm sure he did write assembly. But Object Oriented assembly?
I'm incredulous that you are incredulous. I thought I saw a book about that somewhere. So I walked over to my tall stack of random language books and there it is: Object-Oriented Assembly Language, Len Dorfman, McGraw-Hill, 1990
and I'd bet that someone's found a transcription factor somewhere that binds to methylated DNA and...
I believe there are inhibitor regions which will, when not methylated, attract some special-purpose snotball (yeah, I'm gonna call that a technical term) which interferes with transcription. And then when methylated, these inhibitor regions fail to interfere.
Once the notice comes to IT that they've had a break-in you've got an awful lot of work to do.
Of course. Reactive security audits are much more expensive than proactive security audits. Life sucks when you are inept. What he did was inexcusable, but to put all the blame on a script kiddie is just unprofessional. If a criminal organization had broken in it could be way more expensive.

Well, we can assume that it wasn't a Higgs Bison. CERN doesn't have a herd. Fermilab still has the advantage there.
I thought I remembered reading about this. Um... yeah, it works for turtles, too. Well, young turtles at least. Google for turtle count rings.
Not to get too picky, but: I went to Wikipedia to find out what the heck a C. elegans was. (Nematode) Anyway, the split seem to be more 99.95%/0.05%.
Mutual annihilation would be nice.
This article has a Java Icon. Because "Java, JavaScript, whatever, it's all the same"? Perhaps "mobile" isn't the big threat here.

The real answer is that you're not the customer. You're the product
If I'm being billed, I'm a customer.
Maybe I'm not a priority, but I'm still a customer, and if I don't like what I'm getting for the price, then they lose me as a customer.
And if I'm also a product, they lose that too.
I call BS.
I was wondering who would bring up the Barbara Streisand Effect first.
So now, Barbara Streisand is a Terrorist!

they opt to make the most money with a supply ordained by the government
Logical, plain and simple. Sure. You don't think the pharmaceuticals had a hand in that "government" decision?
Once the notice comes to IT that they've had a break-in you've got an awful lot of work to do.

Concentrate on fixing the problem, not the blame.
While I agree that the pharmaceutical businesses is a complete disaster area in terms of cures-per-dollar ...
The pharmaceutical industry is not about prevention or cure, they are all about perpetual treatment.
And when you make something that's like the thing with the cool name, but way above it, "Super" is often applied.
Meh. I'll wait for the SuperDuperDraco.
If they are so highly skilled and have so much experience, why don't they start new companies ...
How does being a skilled, experienced computer scientist suddenly make me a good entrepreneurial business manager?
And where will all these unemployed software engineers get their start-up money?

Plain as day, I saw it. That's what a bottle or two of cheap root beer will do to my perceptions.
