  2. Re:Goes both ways... on Greed, Zealotry, and the Commodore 64 · · Score: 2

    I didnt say that the memory was correct. I said any conclusions based on the delusions would be correct for that delusion.

    No Faith.

    No, its still not faith as such. Its the best possibility given certain input data. It is still correct.

    Nope no exploit. They just accidentally made a backup publicly accessible.

    They went through the logs and no one actually downloaded it except the person who notified them of the problem.

    But memory, just like science, seems to work pretty consistently.

    Sure you could be a figment of my imagination, but its a pretty consistent delusion that makes sense.

    Even if all this was a delusion, science would then be the way to explain the delusion accurately which for all intents and purposes is still very useful.

    A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lion in a Kiev, Ukraine, zoo after he crept into the animal’s enclosure, a zoo official said Monday.

    “The man shouted, ‘God will save me, if he exists,’ lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions,” the official said.

    “A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery.”

  7. Re:IRDA was 4 Mbps on Using LED Ceiling Lights For Digital Communication · · Score: 1

    I wonder how a 3 watt Luxeon Irda led would work in a room. If a Wiimote can pick up two tiny leds, a mammoth led should be very visible in a room no matter how the receiver is pointed.

    Perfect for transmitting in a single direction. :)
    Bi-directional would need work.

  8. Re:It is still different HW on AMD Radeon HD 6950 Can Be Unlocked To HD 6970 · · Score: 2

    I dont know how overclocking got in to this conversation. In my instance there is no overclocking - just unlocking a extra core that works correctly.

    In the article's instance, its unlocking the additional pipelines and so on, with optional overclocking.

  9. Re:It is still different HW on AMD Radeon HD 6950 Can Be Unlocked To HD 6970 · · Score: 2

    Its been running for 18 months. I'm quite confident what I got was indeed a X4 or at least any problem with it is so minor it can not occur with my usage patterns. :)

    Considering I've got a AMD X3 and Linux is reporting 4 cores, I'd agree with you.

    They do bin the chips based on performance, but that doesnt guarantee that you dont get a higher performance chip, nor does it mean you cannot use the additional hardware assuming its not completely dead.
    In my example, I've obviously gotten a chip that was binned as a AMD X4 but they needed more X3's so they just turned a working core off.

    Rockets output power evenly over the entire take off. Electromagnets need a structure around the projectile to continue propelling it but there is no way to make it that tall.

    They are actually DoS by the traditional meaning of the term.

    Mastercard is denying service to Wikileaks. Not a actual internet attack but same effect.

    Chances are it was just difficult to get a stable reading for the photo?

    To crash a kindle, it just needs to be low for a faction of a second.

    StartSSL is well priced and is completely based in Israel I believe. Awful website but they would probably be your best bet.
    Yes they issue valid certificates themselves - they dont resell Verisign or similar.

    Perhaps so, but that is a *really* bad technicality.
    Anything in the public domain can't really be classified, let alone when its distributed in such a massive way like how Wikileaks does it.

    I assume they arent arresting Air Force personnel for having a dead tree copy right?

    Your post seems to indicate a fundamental lack of understanding how routing works. And what DNS does for that matter too.

    Oh and even if your DNS DDoS prevention technique worked, you'd just DDoS the DNS server and the site would go down anyway.

    So...Your saying that they havent paid for what they've paid for?

    If they are peering at most locations, then there are equally minimal costs for the ISP.

    No matter how you look at it, Google already pays for every byte they send. They dont get anything for nothing.

    Plus they need to pay anyway to connect that dark fiber to anyone else's networks.
