If you want to host a domain or a subdomain. From what I understand (see Dynamic DNS Providers List), the oft-recommended dyndns.org only does the latter for free.
I wanted an actual domain and have been a happy camper with zoneedit for over a year (notwithstanding their revolting choice of OS).
Dammit, I have one of them KryptoLoks. Anyway -- the Boston Globe writes
"This is an extremely big deal. Kryptonite is the Microsoft
of locks,"
Since the press makes that comparison, then why are they never in such uproar and immediate talk of recalls and class action suits over computer vulnerabilities?!?
Quantum mechanics is interesting because it's like a manifestation of linear algebra. Why does an operator reduce a wavefunction to one of the eigenstates of said wavefunction?
Eigenstates of said *operator*. And the operator does not "reduce a wavefunction to an eigenstate" -- a *measurement* does (allegedly).
If a town has only one lawyer, then (s)he starves. If the town has two lawyers, then they're both rich. The moral of the story is that lawyers know how to create work for themselves, and they are carving our a new niche in the software industry.
+1 Insightful. Note: this includes the those who claim to help free software through counseling, litigation, etc. Compare the FSF's very different goal of simply keeping the lawyers out.
The graph is correct if you know that the assumption is 'at a constant number of units sold.' Sink didn't, of course, state this assumption explicitly but it's there.
Nah... his assumption is that Quantity = 1000 - Price, a decreasing linear function. That's what gets you from his assumption
The Alexa Toolbar works only with the Internet Explorer browser. Sites frequented mainly by users of other browsers will be undercounted.
The Alexa Toolbar works only on Windows operating systems. Although a large majority of the Internet population currently used Windows, traffic to any sites which are disproportionately visited by users of other operating systems will be undercounted.
Note, you're making podo's point. His whole argument is to tell you that, quote, blacklisting an entire country is probably not as good an idea as it sounds, as it may just inadvertently set a dangerous precedent.
Once the tables are turned, you're prompt to write that "blaming any view or action taken by a US citizen on the United States as a whole". Now substitute Macedonia. Yes?
You're probably just cranky because you're a poor college student or something and can't afford an iPod, so you criticize anything you can't afford (and also criticize those who can).
If you reply, do so only to what I explicitly wrote. If I didn't write it, don't assume or infer it.
Ugh. All right, you NEVER EXPLICITLY WROTE you'd be following your own advice...
So we have the Addressing Spam Channel of the leading Intelligence Hub for The Internet's Core Infrastructure & Policies interviewing the lead developer of the lead antispam solution, and half the comments under the interview are from a spamming all-caps shill who repeats his identical message over and over.

- Reasons of the G5 delay
(...) The new G5s are not yet announced and available because a customer is buying the entire output: U.S. governmental agencies have decided that from June 2005, no sensible data will hosted on Windows machines any more. Too many security holes and risks. They ordered 80,000 G5 xServe and Powermacs from Apple.
2004-04-08 - G5 delay (continued)
Around 70 U9 (cf. below) have been ordered by large goverment agencies, like
NSA... About ten institutional laboratories already received the supercomputer, equipped with 1024 G5 processors @ 2.6 GHz. That already makes
over 10,000 G5, a major part of IBM's
production d'IBM => shortage.
The U9 project will officially be announced next fall in a version equipped with PPC975 @ 3 GHz, available to the wealthy (about 3
M$ per unit).)
it doesn't look like Europe's education system is fairing too well either
It depends whose education you're talking about. For instance, the European system is such that George W. Bush could never have graduated from a top school (the criterion is merit, not money).
I think that I'll never understand what is the purpose for data falsification. Every, I say EVERY, scientist knows, that experiment that yields unexpected/bad results is a GOOD experiment.
Well precisely, he falsified to make up "unexpected" results (which would have forced a revised model, etc.)
You don't get a PhD by learning some rote, you get it by spending some years in research and then making a significant contribution to your field. You don't 'graduate' when getting a PhD - it is 'granted' to you.
There! Finally someone gets it.
What may still be shocking is if the University revokes the degree without some self-critical audit into how it was granted in the first place. If (if) he already falsified results to get his Ph.D., the committee has a lot of explaining to do, it's not enough to just wash their hands.
As others mentioned, de Branges has been claiming a proof along the same lines for years. He's hard to dismiss because he actually proved the Bieberbach conjecture -- a startling exception in the series of wrong proofs he's been famous for, before and since.
The reasons why most specialists doubt that his approach can ever yield the result are well described in this paper from 1998:
In this note, we shall (...) give examples showing that de Branges' positivity conditions, which imply the generalized Riemann hypothesis, are not satisfied by defining functions of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces associated with the Riemann zeta function zeta(s)
(i.e., despite the name, the "generalized RH" proved by de Branges actually did not include the standard RH as a special case.)
When I wrote him one morning to say that the fact that we couldn't yet cure baldness suggests that the risks he describes are far, far away, he wrote back around midnight, sending me a link to some research that suggests baldness might soon be cured.
So Joy spams the interviewer and ends up compared to Crick, Watson and Bertrand Russell? How unfair.
lemon laws are redundant, the UCC provides just about every right that consumers need
What is the point of saying this? Sounds like you're saying that more consumer protection laws hurt even if (or especially if?) they are redundant. What's so inherently bad about them?
Can you point to the "UCC" equivalent of this article, which just saved me $1000 (cylinder head replacement)?
first rule for organizations in the public eye: never argue in public
Good point! The internet is hurting open source! lkml, the debian mailing lists, usenet... I always say, we'd be much better off if those arguments were conducted privately!

(quote is from this article linked from the bikeforums.net FA.)
Interesting, indeed. Online here, in case anyone else is also looking for it.
Eigenstates of said *operator*. And the operator does not "reduce a wavefunction to an eigenstate" -- a *measurement* does (allegedly).
You might want to read about Direct Democracy in Switzerland. Why does it seem so inconceivable here? Well, (from the second link there), "the extensive choice of media play a decisive role in ensuring the proper functioning of this particular form of State."
Nah... his assumption is that Quantity = 1000 - Price, a decreasing linear function. That's what gets you from his assumption
to his parabola with (obvious) equationOnce the tables are turned, you're prompt to write that "blaming any view or action taken by a US citizen on the United States as a whole". Now substitute Macedonia. Yes?
It's not like nobody can do it...
Thank you.
That doesn't say much. The maximum is attained at the "average Slashdot Reader"...
