  1. 2010 on NRC Recommends NASA Galileo Crash · · Score: 1

    As almost everyone knows, we must stay clear of the Europa moon (All these worlds are yours - except Europa. Attempt no landings there), however as Jupiter is about to turn into a minor star in, oh say, 9 years it wouldn't realy matter if we dumped it there.

    Sidenote: If you didn't get this, you probably need to do some catching up on your sci-fi reading ;)

    Much better analogy. Thank you for writing it down, saved me the time :)

    >You can't 'make it secure', you can only 'make it more secure than it was'.

    That is what I meant though I used a "different language". Of course you can never make anything absolutely secure. It is, to me, evident that anything digital can be manipulated, i.e. nothing is secure. Secure = as secure as can be asked of you.

    True, but how innocent are you if your bad sence of security / lack of knowledge / whatever letts someone use your hardware for these things? When you put up a system you have two options: 1. Make it secure - end of story. 2. Don't make it secure - live with the consequences. This might sound hard, and I for one is not some security expert but this is how it must be. Somewhere down the road ppl will learn that it is worth the time it takes to either learn this stuff yourself or hire someone who knows. It's not a quick fix but it will fix things sooner or later.

  5. Re:Yet another braindead decision... on EU Ministers Approve ".eu" Top-Level Domain · · Score: 2

    Well, acctualy "European Currency Unit" was just made up by the French in order to get the ECU name into non-french ppl's "hearts". Ecu is an old, even very old, French currency, and someone there simply thought it would be nice of them to influence EU with a bit of French class.

  6. Re:Moon Acreage (off topic) on No Harrier Jet for Pepsi Points · · Score: 1

    Sure, lets argue that when they planted that flag a part of the moon became US-territory. But to say the 'the moon', i.e. all of it is US, is, to say the least, dumb. When the first person to land in, say america, planted his flag I am villing to bet no one single land would have agreed (including his own) that the entire continent was his. The planting-the-flag-makes-the-land-mine thing is restricted by geografical, or other, borders of some sort.

    Perhaps a bit long, of topic thing, but hey - the US better start understanding that they do not rule the world and everyone that walks it :)
