"It does show a BSOD. It does also have a countdown to reboot. I've seen it. It's definitely not fast enough that someone would miss it or blame it on glitchy power. (at least 30 seconds)"
This is true. I've seen it too. In my case, turned out to be faulty memory. (Peculiar - win ME was running on that box with no problems, but when I installed win xp the weirdest things started happening.)

Which is to keep part of the application's logic on the server side. It depends on the nature of the application of course, but sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to use your server for some essential processing. People can then copy the application all they want, because you can control access to your server quite perfectly..
I thought of that once, but wireless is very easy to DoS of course.. in this case, cables are better, and indeed, recording is good (off-site even).
This is ignoring things like needing a very good (hi-res, wide angle) camera to get usable footage, and even if you have footage.. then what.. around here (holland) the police won't do much about burglaries.
Indeed.. Experts? Show us how it's done? The guy may very well be a guru, but this story isn't evidence of it.. Although it's always easy to comment from the sidelines (and with 20/20 hindsight), the guy says it himself:
when maintaining counters for list/queue/... entries, don't fuck
with either the counter or the list directly anywhere; use wrapper
functions that take care for both (not using a counter/list pair is
not an option in many, including these two, cases). Not that this is
really news, but very well worth recalling...
No kidding it's not news not to fuck with abstractions, that's the fucking point!

Oh yeah, I remember crobots from my amiga days.. fantastic fun. I'd like to try a little more of it (nowadays we'll be able to run simulations enormously fast), do you have a 'better' link? The sourceforge link looks pretty empty to me, and the 'official' page only has a dead link to a.zip with only an executable..?
IANARealMathematician, but Abel's proof was about a closed-form expression of the solutions to a higher-order polynomial afaik, and that isn't what this result is; although I understand little of what the pdf says, it's clear there are many more equations (deriviatives and differential equations) involved.
Anyone know if this database is any good at replication, with multiple-write replication slaves? or even a single-write machine, with automatic re-selection of the writing machine?
anything to improve the current mysql replication situation..
This state is the amount of time a TCP implementation will keep a TCP connection open that it has closed itself, i.e., sent a FIN for (it has no more data to send). However, the other TCP is still allowed to send as much data as it likes, until it sends a FIN (once that FIN is ACKked by this side, _then_ the connection is really released - all that remains is the blue/red army problem which isn't the topic now).
So, what is this application doing relying on a timeout value in this phase? It would be terrible
to be dependent on a TCP implementation in an application!
"
The pre-written one was apparently pretty badly written (arguably like your average high-school student would write it), and the custom one was written with such excellent language that it was very well done. However, as she points out, most students can't write nearly as well as this paper was written, so in fact using an individually written paper could actually be more dangerous to the student in this case. As you say, a judgement on grades to determine if student X could actually have written the paper is needed here."
Indeed, or, as I think I read on slashdot before.. "If it looks profesionally written, it probably is.", i.e., not by the person handing in the paper..
"Actually, a thermostate would be one of the first 'appliances' I would like to see networked. Switch airco/heating of when you leave and switch it on using your cell-phone or whatever before you get home. Yes, I would use that!"
Yes yes me too! I'd also love to hang up lots of temperature sensors in order to graph the correlation of the behaviour of the temprature to the thermostat setting, in different rooms of the house..

"Most money isn't physical. It's all done through accounts."
My understanding of the matter --learned at the US equivalent of high school, admittedly-- is that there is,
in fact, some physical money stuff going on, but not for every transaction of course. Transactions within a bank don't need a physical counterpart; transactions between banks do, and the transfers can be physically settled weekly or so, in actual money trucks, or accounted as debt, but in principle a physical settlement is done, as the 'virtual' money still corresponds to the physical stuff, just as physical money used to correspond to physical gold..

I think you mean: Censoring The Net With A Hotmail Account, which was about taking sites offline.

There is another way in which it's self-reinforcing. People look for sites and pages and people that reflect their own opinions.
sheesh
Sounds like a funny solution to me. Why not just multi-home the webservers? No extra hardware, extra point of failure, simpler, less dependency, etc.

Sounds like the uuencode bug. Found it here.

I doubt it, unless you're talking about calculating, which isn't really what mathematics is (one can help the other, that's about it).
Does this contradict Abel's proof?
