  3. Type 1 Diabetic. on McAfee Claims Successful Insulin Pump Attack · · Score: 1

    BTW: 315 units of insulin is very fatal for me and most of non metabolic syndrome human. The "deep trouble" mr. Ward talking about is Cardiac Arrest. Means immediate death.

  4. Type 1 Diabetic since 1995 on McAfee Claims Successful Insulin Pump Attack · · Score: 1

    Using wireless insulin pump. I am an Electrical and Electronics Engeneer with specialization in computers and RF communication. I don't believe that anybody (McAfee employee or Al-Kaida terrorist) can possibly access my insulin pump or my Glucometer. My insulin pump can deliver 315 units of insulin in one go, without triggering any alert, if programmed or operated to do so. I use ~41 units of insulin per a day. It is 7 days, 16 hours and ~ 20 minutes of insulin. It is ~17% of 45 days. I am not worried, it is just a regular pile of FUD.

    A 239000$ dog will make seizure of 25$ hash stick from citizen cheaper and more effective. Lets assume that police dogs live 10 years, and work every day. If this dog can sniff on average 2.6 hash sticks more than regular dog in one day,he will cover his costs with hashish. The only problem with this plan is that there is no way for a government to get economical or other benefits from confiscated drugs.

    hold-on, so if I copyright my fart "noise", can I stop anyone else from farting the same peculiar notes? how long is a composition?

    No one can't stop nobody from farting.

    If you have millions - you can even jail them in some countries (USA,iran,russia. In sweden they will appeal).

    Wrong. What we need is to ditch the prohibition laws. There is already a plant that contains THC. It called hemp.

  17. Re:Simulating... on Saudi Arabia Begins To Realize Supercomputer Ambitions · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What would Muslims need a supercomputer to simulate?

    They don't need to simulate nothing. They dig a hole in the ground, and get all the money they need (actually, much more than they need) from that hole. If they decided to have a nuke - they not going to "simulate" it, they buy equipment that produce it, and they buy professionals to operate it. For example , Iran decided to have a nuclear bomb (Syria did too, but we safe for now, thanks to Israely Air Force). When they want to use the bomb - they will send suicide bomber (i apologize , i meant to say "martyr") to bring it to the target, and press the switch to activate it. They don't need a supercomputer for that. They want to own super computer because they want to be like everybody else (or bigger). Europian countryes have a super computers. America have super computers. Asian coutries have them. Israel have super computers. Arabs don't have one. Well, soon they will. They maybe don't have anything usefull to do with "one of the 10 most powerful systems in the world", but they can afford it together with "some of the best minds on the planet" to operate it . I personaly think that "one of the best minds" that choose to stay idle in exchange for bigger income is not really "best mind", but that is an opinion of some guy who can't afford a Rolls-Royce.

    I can think of better ways to spend 1500 hours on Q6600 with 8gb ram. Just have to add a pair of HD 3870X2's (or pair of 9800GX2 ).

  20. Re:I smell bullshit at the IE blog on Does IE8 Really Pass Acid2? [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Rule #1 of secure programming: be as paranoid as you can, and then be more paranoid. If you don't think that every user is out to get you, then you're not being paranoid enough. And the use of ActiveX is amazingly consistent with rule # 1
  21. It might be true for FDA aproved stuff on Antidepressants Work No Better Than a Placebo · · Score: 1
