Actually there is 100% accurate test for it. It requires biopsy than can be taken during endoscopy. It is fully bloodless. The endoscopy itself is not very pleasant (putting tube through your throat), so you may be sedated. Blood and breath test are not so accurate.
Today the famous inventor Johannes Gutenberg was sentenced to 200 years of hard labour for creating, distributing and using machine for massive copyright violations. Him so called "Printing Press" could produce hundreds and thousand copies of one book just for one week. Pirates have used it in enormous proportions to execute undreamed copyright violations. This had caused a big loss in book sells and SCWAA estimates them at 1 000 000 in gold. This evil invention had taken the work and bread of more than 10 000 script copy writers, letting them and their families live in misery.
Very strange. I do live in Bulgaria and this is the first time I hear of this. It is nice to have zombies blocked, but on the other side, how long it will take to abuse this power?
There is no need to block computers from internet, all that have to be done is ISP to don't forward mail if user didn't ask for it. When user ask for it then ISP will give him with username and password. (well, they already know that this is you). Filtering 25 port for whole internet and only allowing ISP mailserver to forward mails is interesting idea.
If you totally block zombies, how are they supposed to clean themselfs. They can not connect to internet and download antivirus/updates/linux.
Well I do meen 500 patents to be granted every year and to last 20 years (as it is now).
Filling more applications won't increase the chances because there is no luck involved. Probably patent office won't approve more than one patent to corporation in order to not been blamed for favouritism. Filling 100 patents when probably only one will be granted is pure waste of money. And nobody likes wasting money.
About the small busness.
Currently legal fees are too high for individual and the return of investment is not very probable (unless you have an department full of lawyers). If an individual owns patent he could easily find a lowyer, because with so hardly checked patent there is no way to loose. Even if an small firm never get any patent, the burden of infinite patens and patent litigators will disapear, thus giving better chanse of survival of small busness.
Not to say that finding ways to avoid patents would boost new inventions.
Well the patent system does need a change. I was wondering what do you think about such change:
Only an limited number of patents to be granted every year. Let's say 500 patents.
This way only really important inventions (not innovations) will be honored with `limited goverment granted monopoly`. The patent office will throw faster the obvious and broad patents, and will have more time to focus on the really good candidates.
As a side effect the less probability of granting patent will discourage the firms to fill as many patents as possible.
The really good thing is that there will be an limited number of patents that could be checked more easy (e.g. only 10'000 valid patents at any time)
The only question is what to do with already granted patents. I think that limiting their life would be good idea. For example cutting to half the rest of their life would be an good option. So if patent is just issued it will have 10 years, but if it would have 4 more years left, it will last only for 2.
This have the bonus advantage, when somebody ask "Do you have internet firewall", the luser on the other side to say "Yes, I have FireFox Internet. Isn't it the same?"
As one of the mplayer developers, I would like to thank to DJB for giving us (hmm)16 (?) hours before unleashing exploints on wild.
Maybe he is not aware that making right fix, testing it and finally releasing it, is not so simple task. Especially if we have to convice the person that have release (write) permisions, that him girlfriend is not as importan as the security release:)
Not to say, that I still haven't got the mail in my mailbox, despire that gmame shows it have been recived.
Also mplayer-dev-eng@mplayerhq.hu is the more appropriate maillist to send security issues. (MPlayer documentation will be updated accordingly.)
The exploit that is found in MPlayer is not alone. There are at least 2 other places with similar exploitable bahavioud in the same file. I guess the students keep them for next semester.
BTW code originates from Xine, probably it is time to update our version;)
I remember "Event Horizont". I even remember that I didn't liked it because it was 1:1 Doom1/2 ripoff. With some (very obvious) elements from "HellRaiser".
Man, this translation is wonderful!!!
Have you ever thought becoming an jurnalist?
I am sure a lot of people will want to read translated to normal news!!!!!
All you need to start is website:)
Dude. The other day, a porn site popped up on my computer. Just popped up ; I didn't click anything. I ran Norton Anti-virus. I ran AVG. I ran ad-aware and spybot. I checked Windows update, I rebooted, I swore. Everything told me my computer was fine. Clearly it is, and I am mistaken.
There is an black humor joke about your kind of doubts: A doctor is comming to work and ask the nurse "Anything new". The nurse answers "Yes doctor, the sham from room number 3 had died tonight".
I seriously doubt man like Pat could do this just for more advertisment. He must be really desperate, in order to use the comunity in such extraordinary way.
I'm sure Pat would be happy if you could examine him.
Could you please provide your contact infromation to him, as he had requested in his first call for help?
The old small market share argument...
So here comes the old reply:
Half-Life 2 will have native linux port. At least for the multiplayer server (CS). Having portable core engine is 60% work done. As I remember HL1 had both Dx and OpenGL, beta and leaked alpha had OpenGL too. It won't be hard to be brought up-to-date (if it is not already;) and you will have the other 30% of the work.
Now you just have to fix bugs until it is stable. I put 5% for audio as it is quite trivial. the final 5% are for bugfixing. So valve have to do only 10% work. Actually they could have done it at this 1 year delay...
I think that this bad science could be intentional.
I like the first season most and my guess is that it is the most accurate one. I aslo think that they do have advisor. But this advisor purpose is to hide the real methods of how crime are ivenstigated, so normal criminals won't be able to temper/avoid evidence.
While there is little sense in this, I find it counter productive. People will expect that such things happen in real life and they will judge based on what they have seen.
There is also something that looks very strange for me. The investigaros themself doesn't wear any special clothes, even when they examine a car!. I remember an British serial where the investigators wear chemical like coverall in order to don't contaminate evidence with their DNA, saliva and hair.
I wonder does the real investigators wear casual police uniform?
And if well is the author behind Blade Runner, the article don't even names P.K.Dick, that have a bunch of really good sci-fi movies based on his books and tales, maybe him alone should have most top ranked movies in their selection.
Have you read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?". This is the book supposed to be the source of "Blade Runner" plot.
I actually read it long after I watched the movie.
And supprice, there is nothing in common. Actually the idea and the story of the book are RIGHT OPPOSITE of ones in the movie.
In the actual book the androids don't value life. They are cold like mass murders. They can kill the last living sheep, just for revenge. This is why they fail on the test. This is the whole point...
Sorry I don't think that english translation is available:(
So I will summarize:
First the author points to one of the "Inventors" - Bret Paul Anderson that used to be an http://dev.litestep.net/ developer. LiteStep is nice enlightment like window manager (shell) for Windows. It is distributed under GPL.
Then the author says that the oldest usage of pager he knows is from GEOS on Apple//e (that's 8 bit computer).
After that he gives few other bogus patent examples like "themes that change look & feel" granted to Apple and popup zoom scroll window from GIMP granted to Corel.

How about combining with another movies that already have existing T virus monsters?
"Resident Evil 3 : Doom" would fit perfectly in the current ''doom movie'' storyline.
