  2. Re:Honeypot for lawyers on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 3, Informative

    nevermind... RTFA :) here's what it says in the article: Honeypots are computer elements helping to delude aggressors. On a production network, evil hackers will attack some kind of fake system, losing time in doing so and giving information about themselves and their methods [ref 4]. When a honeypot is a dedicated host uniquely used to delude aggressors, it is supposed to play no role linked to systems in production. This implies that every request directed to the honeypot is suspect. While honeypots are often thought to be used for passive analysis, they can also play an interactive role to deal with worms. Two kinds of honeypots are often used : high interaction: a kind of real host is usually almost sacrificed (called a "sacrificial lamb") on a network while waiting for any aggressor. low interaction: services and/or hosts are simulated (for example, Honeyd by Niels Provos).

    on the other hand, if 250 mill. people work 2 weeks more than anywere in the world, the country should firmly stay ahead of its competitors... and noone gives a f*ck about worker happiness if the head of non-for-profit organization makes $150mill because of the extra 2 weeks that the shmucks put in...

  8. Re:Einstein quote on Current Thoughts in String Theory · · Score: 1

    The math involved is pretty heavy - Einstein had to come up with a short-hand index notation - also known as Einstein notation - for tensors in order to describe multiple (more than 3) dimensions and be able to operate on (with?) them.... Sort of like Newton had to invent calculus in order to describe his laws of motion...

    my point is - it is no surprise that math-heads are the ones who understand QM

    Forgot to put a link in....
    From: here "What is the world's largest lake? A lake any body of water surrounded by land and very large lakes are sometimes called seas. The world's largest lake is the salty Caspian Sea at 143,200 square miles (370,886 km2). The Caspian Sea is surrounded by Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. The world's second largest lake, and the world's largest freshwater lake is North America's Lake Superior at 31,700 mi2 (82,103 km2)."

  20. Re:It's a sea because it is salty on Aral Sea Disappearing · · Score: 0

    it is salty because rivers that feed it bring the minerals (i.e., salt) in.

    Caspian is the largers lake by surface.
    Baikal is the deepest.
    Lake Superior may be the largest fresh water lake - I don't know.

    How and why one would remember these depends on where they went to school - US propaganda will make sure that US students remember lake Superior as the largest while USSR propaganda will make sure that the students remember facts about their lakes and rivers.

    Now, guess where I went to school?...

    From Caspian Sea or Lake: What Difference Does It Make?

    "Geography. On the one hand, like most lakes, the Caspian Sea is fed by rivers and is not connected directly to the open sea. Apart from the rivers, it Is completely surrounded by land. It is below sea level.

    On the other hand, unlike most lakes, the Caspian Sea is bordered by several states.(21) It is the largest inland body of water in the world,(22) comparable in size, depth and salinity (23) to many semi-enclosed marine seas.(24) Rivers feed the Caspian Sea, but do not drain it. It is possible to navigate between the Caspian Sea and the open ocean by a complex network of rivers and canals."

  22. It is really a lake on Aral Sea Disappearing · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Just to clarify and emphasize why this is a big deal: Aral is not really a sea - it's a lake. A sea is a body of water that has direct exit into an ocean. A lake - doesn't connect to any ocean. Aral Lake is the second largest lake in the world - the first on is Caspian. Both of them are usually referred to as Sea because of their great size.

  23. Re:If it's a natural..... on Aral Sea Disappearing · · Score: 0

    I doubt that it's a natural process that should be let be. There are a lot of industrial centers around that area that uses water. Now with the USSR gone, there is no central planning that can account for wasteful use and such. So it's every man, business, region, and country for himself or herself. And with widespread corruption in former USSR - nothing will be done about this because there it won't help anyone to get rich quick.
