do you even know what this article / post is about? the point is, no one was going to do the test until a non-affiliated scientist discovered the problem and spent considerable time and effort convincing NASA and others that there even was a problem. only then did the necessary testing occur.
dear lord, i know it's been said a million times before, but RTFA once in a while.
I heard (I believe here on/.) that their server, instead of accepting many connections and distributin the bandwidth between them, actually just limits the number of connections, ensuring quicker downloads... keep trying, you'll get it!
One of the great things about flies is that you can get them to come to you," he said. Hence the downside of the fully autonomous robot: it will have to use sewage or excrement to attract the flies and is bound to smell appalling.
Aren't flies also attracted to watermelon? I dunno, just the first thing that came to my mind...
Mmmm.... watermelon.
I was about to suggest "Gabber" being the obvious solution, as "gab" is a synonym for talking. Then I realized that the only people who can viably "gab" (due to heavy, heavy connotation) are middle-aged or older housewives, and I very nearly stabbed myself in the foot for even thinking this. Then I broke out laughing and had to post it anyway.
When the rover first disembarked, there was a strange scene awaiting them which never reached the eyes of the public. Evidently a slender, white arm was portruding through the dust clutching a sword- The Sword- Excalibur! More on NASA's plans to conquer*cough* put a base on Mars later.
No, your analogy is faulty.
It might be more plausible to have this system you propose in place if:
1. You are not the only person in the car (say there are a few hundred others in that vehicle..)
2. Your vehicle is indistinguishable from virtually every other car on the road (i.e. imagine cars without license plates, that required no individual proof of ownership, etc.)
3. You were not traveling independently, but in fact paying a private corporation to transport you, and placing your trust in them to deliver you safely.
Now you've painted a picture closer to the reality of airline travel.
Running / quickly changing directions: More tiles, not faster tiles.
Jumping: As long as the tracers in the shoes stay on your feet, the tiles can simply ignore the vertical axis. Hopefully they can withstand the force of being jumped onto.
I hope that you've been on a treadmill at least once in your life (for the pure fun of messing around, at least). You feel like you're moving on those, don't you? Same thing.
Your two points address two types of flaws that could arise. 1. addresses fundamental flaws in design. 2. addresses exploits. Exploits include anything that may not even be in the original design, but which, when the design is tweaked or added onto, results in an evil.
Exploits are not avoidable. Evil will not simply disappear in awe of a new technology. However, your first point sounds eerily fallacious to me. "It will eventually get discovered" sounds a lot like "They'll have the whole 4-digit thing figured out long before Y2K".
article didn't really say... but did the university provide any "evidence" from a considerable time back? in that case, it might be suggestive that they had been watching him. then again, the University could always claim that they only discovered the previous accounts of plaigarism once they knew of the problem.
IANA math major, but it seems to me that the frequency of prime pairs could lessen on an asymptotal arch... i.e. the rate of their occurance more and more rapidly approaches 0. i don't know if that's the case, but it's one way to prove your logic faulty.
Oh, you must mean the bill that was introduced to Senate on 1/7/2003 and NEVER TOUCHED AGAIN. Do you know how many bills are completely ignored every year?
The problem with using the fresnel lens' capabilities as a source of power is that the lens' output is focused heat. For most things, heat is not useful.. in fact, it's a byproduct of most engines. To gather energy from the heat, you'd also need something as rudamentary as a "portable steam engine"... and it would be slow.
When the only time you can get 3 hours of peace is on a flight from X to Y and you have to sit next to Joe on the phone to his secretary talking about the meeting he has five days from now (which he could call and talk to her about tomorrow) you might care.
You say that as if it would be peaceful without cell phones! Hah! The little kid behind you doesn't care whether or not he/she could drive the most steel-nerved adult crazy within the course of a couple hours (or maybe it's the parent who refuses to do nothing to calm the child), he/she'll do it anyway!
My point is, airplanes are NOT theaters, no matter how much the people who need sleep wish it could be. The funniest thing I have ever heard in my life (and I hear it a lot) is, "I don't have to sleep now, I'll sleep on the plane."
Meanwhile, back here on earth, fundamentalists still insist that everythying was created in seven days.:-|
False! I created you 3 minutes ago!
This idea came from the atheist side of a Atheist vs. Christianity debate I watched on a tape. Creation was, of course, a big topic. I found this to be the atheist's one winning point. The audience who was there live voted at the end as to who they were more convinced by. The Christian representative won by 70%. (No word on what the demographic of the audience was like before the debate =(. )
In response to your sig, I agree. I think it's important for those who don't already know to be informed of resellers. A great place to check your seller's reliability before buying: http://www.resellerratings.com
Much like anything else I've seen Microsoft make / do, this is NOT their original idea. I saw this feature demoed on a Linux machine at Comdex last winter. Here's a link to a story about the linux feature.
Ah! Can't post!: "Database maintenance is currently taking place. Some items such as comment posting and moderation are currently unavailable."
Oh well, I'll keep trying.
"And the monkey flips the switch."
i assume that by "run a red" you mean not stop before turning, which is what the rest of the replys to the parent here appear to be assuming. maybe i'm reading it wrong

I agree with parent wholeheartedly. Plz mod grandparent down.
so... what's the name of the company who manufactures your safe?

not to mention the addition of the word google as a VERB in the next edition of the Merriam-Webster's

I had time to read the whole page before coming back here and discovering that there were not yet any comments... /. starving for worthy stories???

Eddie Izzard bit done in either NYC or LA: "...do you know there are other countries?"
Eddie Izzard is, in my opinion, a hilarious British stand-up comedian. Watch his stuff. You'll thank me later.

i think what the other posted is trying to suggest is: "Get the better security, THEN be vigilant."
