  1. Re:I don't think so, no.. on Wiki to Help Solve Millennium Problems? · · Score: 1

    Mathematicians do not need a wiki to share research. That's why we have journals and conferences. Mathematicians who want to pool their research find people to work with, and those who don't, don't. But, not only will it take insight and a sharp mind, but also years and years of training. It takes several years to even learn the language and subtleties of the mathematics behind any one of the seven problems. People have been working on these seven problems for quite a long time, and there is a history of progress behind each one. One shouldn't even start trying to solve any of the problems until its history is well understood. Anyone who has been through a graduate program in mathematics will understand this. The only useful public purpose a wiki like this could serve is to collect journal references for the historical progress behind each of the problems. Other than that, this wiki won't be worth its bandwidth.

    In case you missed the article from the same site: DHS loves RFID.

  3. Re:Ok, before the bitching begins: on Clean System to Zombie Bot in Four Minutes · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget the fact that this test was run on machines without accessing email or the internet. Those machines sitting on store shelves go home with consumers planning to do more than just let them sit idle while connected to the internet.

  4. Re:You're missing the point on University Bans Wireless Access Points · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The university is NOT banning the use of the RF spectrum, the university is banning the use of Wireless APs. Just as banning hotplates does not ban having heat in your apartment, banning Wireless APs does not ban the use of the 2.4 range.

  5. Re:And the corollary quote, with Diebold in mind on Diebold Chases Links To Leaked Memos · · Score: 2, Informative

    That quote belongs to Stalin, BTW.

  6. Non-Standard Web Pages on Microsoft Wins Browser War, Abandons 'Innovation' · · Score: 1

    I don't run IE anymore, but you can't expect people to switch to a new browser like opera when it crashes everytime you try to access espn.com! So, for right now, its Firebird for me.

  7. Link correction on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    Here is the correct link for Ad-Aware.

  8. Re:You want minimal sys-admin? on Michigan To Purchase Record 130,000 Laptops · · Score: 1

    RTFA, no one in their right mind would recommend Linux for a "minimal sys admin" The competition is clearly OSX and WinXP, but for minimal administration, and sheer ease of use without the constant virus threat and patching, OSX is the clear choice.

    Now, someone disagree with me.

  9. Spam Solution on Study Reveals How ISPs Responded to SiteFinder · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Copied from here

    But there is(was) a solution, perhaps mail servers should check to see if the sender domain for a particular piece of email resolves to the Ip above.If it does, forward the email toVerisign, any of the email addresses on this page should do :

    http://www.verisign.com/corporate/about/contact/in dex.html?sl=060104

    If the email sender domain resolves to the bogus Verisign wildcard entry, then its only fair that the email gets forwarded back to them, as it?s obviously spam and it resolves to their address.

    Just in case Verisign turns it back on, be ready.

    According to this link no one should ever borrow Catcher in the Rye. AND, you must have a terrible potty mouth for liking this book. Nooch.

    Forget about playing blah videogames, you know that practically everyone reading these threads has the same idea in mind... dirty sex with their favorite Star Trek / Star Wars character... or maybe its just me.

  12. Re:I hope so. on Has P2P Become a Passing Fad? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a bunch of propaganda to me. Everyone looks for a sap to pin things on, and I'm sure record labels' troubles don't have anything to do with mass amounts of terrible music, combined with overpriced CDs. Sorry for your loss, but I can't believe you compare music piracy to pot... There aren't even words to express my state of stupor.
