  1. Siberia Post Office on Japanese Police Offers First-Ever Reward For Wanted Hacker · · Score: 1

    There's a post that explains all the details of how to use the Siberia Post Office here, along with some beautiful ASCII art.
    http://www.logsoku.com/r/siberia/1350393984/
    It's not an alias.

  2. Re:Don't tell the Japanese on Has the Mythical Unicorn of Materials Science Finally Been Found? · · Score: 2

    Yeah, pretty much. There is some Chinese medicine in Japan, but it's called kanpou or Han-style medicine.

  3. Re:Your driving I'm watching. on Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank · · Score: 1

    Given the weight on top, I find it hard to accept that they are air filled tires.

    There are standard passenger vehicle tires rated to 1650 kg. With 4 tires, that's a total load of over 6000 kg. You started on a misconception and wandered off into fantasy. How are they going to fabricate solid tires when they're using scrap steel for armor and salvaged parts for everything else?

  4. Re:Your driving I'm watching. on Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank · · Score: 1

    One minor problem is that the exposed tires won't withstand fire from a .22 or, say, small pieces of battlefield rubble.

    Might makes right! Read a little more Ragnar Redbeard.

    "Ron Paul, what is best in life?"

    I'm definitely not an expert, but I believe it's possible to register for a non-exclusive license for the 3.65 GHz band online.

    I would suggest doing a repeater based WiFi type system.

    Is there some reason not to use WiMAX? The last I heard, it was pretty much for this sort of use case. One transmitter provides coverage for everything 10-20 miles away.

    Damn, they have armor-piercing scorpions now?

    There are also whiteboards that automatically scan and optionally print copies of what is on the whiteboard. Everyone gets consistent, persistent notes.

    I don't know if there's a generic name, but Panaboard is the brand I've used.

    It's nice to have proof of what was and wasn't mentioned during meetings.

  11. Re:What are they thinking?!? on WikiLeaks Tests Donation Pop-Ups For Leaked Material · · Score: 1

    I'm not much of an America basher, but they're probably talking about things like the Banana Wars. It's not exactly "offing" anyone in particular. This is less about CIA assassination and more about landing marines.

  12. Re:Truth or dare... on Mysterious Algorithm Was 4% of Trading Activity Last Week · · Score: 1

    Canceling the order isn't even necessary for that particular scam. The HFT algorithm could buy 1 share at each test price, lose a dollar or two on each and still make a killing.

    People used to vote for Mickey Mouse as a write-in candidate, but, frankly, I'm afraid to see what Disney would do with that kind of power.

    What other mainstream OSes are there besides Linux, BSD, Solaris, OS X and Windows?

  16. Re:Serious points raised? on Student Publishes Extensive Statistics On the Population of Middle-Earth · · Score: 2

    You're mostly correct, but Japanese cavalry swords were up to 18 pounds and were used in actual combat. Larger ceremonial versions weigh more than 150 pounds and exceed 3 meters in length—although these are obviously not usable as weapons.

  17. Re:How about joining the 21st century? on Thanks For Reading: 15 Years of News For Nerds · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you, but UTF-8 is long since implemented. Just check the encoding on slashdot.jp.

    It's deliberately disabled for some reason, probably because some UTF tricks allow evading the filters and/or make it more difficult to clean and parse user input.

    Yeah,

    echo "127.0.0.1 slashdot.org" >> /etc/hosts

  22. Are you kidding? on Ask Slashdot: Should Developers Install Their Software Themselves? · · Score: 1

    Developers shouldn't even build software for customers/production.

    make is 35 years old!

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    Not having an automated build and install process is a waste of everyone's time, but especially the developers' time.

  23. Re:The nerd rage around here is unbelievable on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    To be fair, if you wanted your database to do anything sane, you shouldn't have installed mysql. Real databases can recover without data corruption when server processes are killed.

    ...and then it turns out that I completely mis-remembered the problem. It's still neat, but my description of it above is totally worthless.

    No article on hiring algorithms is complete without mentioning the secretary problem.
    In brief, how do you decide that you've interviewed enough people and select a candidate, even though that means ignoring anyone you have yet to interview?
