  1. So Scanning other's computers is OK? on Professor 'Packetslinger' Assigns Questionable Task · · Score: 0

    So it is wrong for them to scan their own servers, but it's ok to look for exploits on non-university computers... Brilliant

  2. You're right, just like the movies on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 0

    You're right, just like the movies, literature and the internet media as a whole portry this. No reason to single out one form of communication/media vs. another.

  3. BlackBerry already has had this for a while now on IM On Mobile Phones · · Score: 0

    Seriously, the BlackBerry messenger---and Google's GTalk is available for it as well. I love how the 'pushed' email, 'pushed' internet, free ring-tones, now IM and all of that is finally catching on---but the BlackBerry has had this for years now.

  4. Uhmmm that is a TRUE statement on Christian Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday · · Score: 0

    Darwinism = Science is TRUE Much like: if(a = b) { //always executed } I think you meant Darwinism == Science thankyouverymuch

  5. Good like finding engineers on U.S. Gov To Spider Internet · · Score: 0

    Seems like google, amazon, yahoo, microsoft will outbid the gov't for these gurus.

  6. Bad Analogy on Holograms Help Protect Super Bowl · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The analogy should read: "Why should police, technology, and the media focus on the safety of one stadium(say 25k+ people) versus another of the odd 100-1000's of other stadium(25k+ people)? " It seems like the superbowl is given a lot more public attention than other another 25k grouping of people. Could this be just a way to guarantee that the football game goes as planned-so all television commercial slots will be seen as planned. Imagine the horror of a scare/bomb going off and then losing all the commercial spots. There is a lot of money riding on those commercials. I might be crazy, but it can *almost* see there viewpoint. Do you think any of this 'works'?

  7. How is that not illegal? on UCLA Students Urged to Expose 'Radical' Professors · · Score: 0

    Recording the lectures is against my university's policies (whether or not I agree with it, can be saved for another discussion). Encouraging others to break a universities rules and policies... how is this different from the previous slashdot article about the high school student encouraging others to overload the school's server?

    Higher education is about encouraging questions and logical discussion. It is one thing if an uber-left professor is preaching of what IS CORRECT. Another if they raise questions and allow the students to come to their own conclusions through discussion.

  8. OMG THIS IS TOTALLY UT2004! on Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor · · Score: 1, Funny

  12. yes...but what is money based on? on The Google Caste System · · Score: 0

  13. how much warmer? on Canada Moves to Keep Skilled Workers · · Score: 0

    Where do you live that has warm weather and the following crieteria as well: -Wont be flooded by 2050 via global warming -Doesn't get 20+ Hurricanes each year -Is not a police state. You can have your weather!

  15. OMG THEY STINK on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 1

    you think they would at least have it flush 'once' after say X uses (using sensors or something

  16. ...look at what we would do though... on Canadian Ex-Minister Calls For Serious ET Study · · Score: 1

    Well, if WE are willing to place WMD's in space and shoot at our own civilians---how much would you bet that we would kill anything else that came near us? Assuming that these other aliens are just as frightened as we are--- there will be war... Imagine if we found another sapient civilization that has a reasonably master of the atom or inter stellar travel(which we are soon approaching..) --- do you think we would let them build these massive lasers within shooting distance of our earth?? HELL NO, we would blow them out of the water--- exactly what they would be thinking.

    Unless of course, we are smart enough to realize this symmetry in our political goals of WMD's...

    If we are willing to put WMD's in space, we can expect another civilization to do so as well. And we are both scared shitless of each other

  17. WRONG on Good bye Dark Matter, Hello General Relativity · · Score: 1

    Please actually repeat the proof for anyone in english. I am not willing to write the explanation--I have read the published paper...and I only have been using calc for a little while. There's no point of having theoretical views of this, if one is not willing to do the homework of seeing WHY the equations work out in the field equations.

  18. COERCED CONSENT on FBI Agents Put New Focus on Deviant Porn · · Score: 1

    we talk about 'consenting adults'....However it has to be VALID CONSENT. What constitutes valid consent? Take a look at a lot of the girls drinking urine, or some of the real vile stuff. I do not think they are doing this 'freely' as you and I decide. Rather there is something behind the scenes: i) drug addictions ii) Low education, no money ...What about those that do love the taste of urine and would love to do this in public eye(assuming they do it privately...why not get paid for it?) ...How do we determine valid consent? At what point of 'the perks' becomes coersion?

  19. Not a new phenomenon: I did this with Starcraft... on WoW Helping or Hurting the Industry? · · Score: 1

    I remember looking so forward to the first Zelda 64 game, but could only stay in the living room for a couple of hours before I went back to my 12hour days of starcraft/broodwar play. I see how WOW's appeal to a wider audience may be behind this.

  22. I'm proud of "virtual" property.... on Gamer Killed For Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    What about being the largest supplier of information services and application needs?

  23. Exponential Algorithms on Decoding the Genome: Serious Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    I am a comp sci major, just finished my Bsc and continuing towards data mining and bioinformatics for a graduate degree...I do not know as much as I would like to know however I can tell you that the best algorithms are typically brute-force solutions. Why? Because the amount of data and the precision that we require does require all combinations to be processed and analyzed. This all comes back to algorithm efficiency and analysis (big-O a.k.a asymptotic growth rates). Many of these algorithms are of the NP-Hard class, meaning that a polynomial time(read: 'efficient') algorithm in terms of the input (n x m matrix[n dna sequences, each at most m bases long]) are very very very unlikely.

    There are proofs showing that the algorithms are the best (even though they are the brute force) that is possible....so one way or another someone will have to do the 'infinate computations'

    Might as well get started!
