    Yeah when they make stupidity a capital crime it will definately affect the stupid.

    Let me aquaint you with a little friend of mine. He's called Mr. MD5. ;)

  3. Re:A question for network admins on German ISP Forced To Delete IP Logs · · Score: 1

    Your guesses are off.

    They only log what ip each customer gets.

  4. Re:Of all the stupid things to get wrong... on Computer Date Glitch May Limit Next Shuttle Launch · · Score: 1

    I would imagine that the ground computers have had a few facelifts.
    Its more difficult to upgrade the shuttle computers however.

    Duke Nukem 3D might see the light of day first.
    Its only been out for what? 15 years?

    Yeah lets just run the space shuttle off a PC running XP. Lets see how that goes. ;)

    They run specialised parts and dedicated operating systems because things go boom unless it works flawlessly.

    Thats why you audit the source code.

    Its not like the source is overly complex either. It just records which candidate was voted for.

  8. Re:Start your biding... on Verifiable Elections Via Cryptography · · Score: 1

    You can have a small mock election where you vote 1,000 times recording what you choose manually and compare with the machine's result.
    There is no reason why the machine wouldnt output the correct answer.
    Wouldnt that constitute as checking that the machine counts correctly?

  9. Re:Shoot ... score one for the Bush admin on Research Supports "Snowball Earth" Hypothesis · · Score: 2, Funny

    The earth runs out of bits and overflows in to negative temperatures.
    Once the feedback loop spirals out of control the temperature will drop to -32,768.

    Check your math. Ice is less dense than water so 1km thick of Ice doesnt equal 1km of Water.

  11. Re:Unacceptable. on Verifiable Elections Via Cryptography · · Score: 1

    I should be due for some mod points but I havent gotten any for awhile.
    Maybe mod points arent being handed out?

  12. Re:Start your biding... on Verifiable Elections Via Cryptography · · Score: 1

    And how can you ensure that cheating doesnt occur using current methods?

    If its done by a machine its safer as there is less handling by humans and there is a paper (or source code) trail.

    Fuck that. Just give me a DVI plug on the side of my head and I'll be happy.

    Why was it only out of 12,000? The raw database dumps are avaliable.
    Wouldnt it be easier to do the lot and save having to do it again?

    1. The theory has nothing to do with how it happened. Its just that life started in the seas so for something to live on land it would need to evolve and adapt.

    2. Dolphins devolving? They are smarter than us you know. ;)
    They werent devolving. A set of evolutionary pressures just required them to evolve in to the water. Devolving would Dolphins turning in to ameoba.

    3. Its possible for the genes to be activated by our crap or natural causes.
    The instructions for making the legs are still (mostly) there however. They are just switched off.

  16. Re:Christians where are you? on The Dolphin With Leftover Legs · · Score: 1

    Well there is a difference between reading for the underlying metaphor and reading as-is.
    "Literally" in this case would be reading the bible as-is.

    Um...You dont know what 'literally' means?

    Thats depressing. Go buy a dictionary.

    Would you know that you were infected by a exploit if you went to a specially crafted page?

    You'd probably put the spyware down to something else.

    Its in the middle. It breaks the IE 6 hacks while not supporting CSS properly.

    It would be fine if it didnt break the IE 6 hacks OR if it supported CSS properly but its stuck somewhere in the middle and its causing chaos.

    I wouldnt be too sure about that. Office 97 gives it a good run for its money. ;)

    Which is *exactly* why I had a nice multiplayer game of Total Annihilation just 2 days ago.
    UT GOTYE also still gets a workout.

  25. Re:Nonsense on Microsoft Will Allow Vista Reinstalls · · Score: 1

    Let me rephrase that.
    If they did it *properly* I'd be able to run it on my P4 wouldnt I?

    Do you run all the fancy Aero effects?
    I doubt it because your machines (and mine) are well below requirements.
    If you dont have them on then turn them on and then comment.

    XGL on the other hand is far trickier to do than Vista's Aero effects yet it works happily on minimal hardware.
    I have been spinning the cube around while playing a movie semi-transparently and running a game in Wine also semitransparently with no lag.

    Btw I have a P4 with a gig of ram.
