    Mod me down on this, but my money is on Nokia. I haven't seen a Google / Android phone yet.

    I tend to read a lot of Pdfs (articles and so forth), and they are fine for quick reference. still nothing beats good old fashioned paper. I find it more relaxing for my eyes. Could be the way I was taught though. Ideas on this one?

  7. Brute Force. on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IANCS (I am not a computer specialist) - but this has just occurred to me: would it be possible to distribute a task (such as a brute force attack) via BOINC without the user knowing it?

    The example being: IAEA/NSA wants to crack a file, doesn't have the time to do it on its own and distributes the task via BOINC, so you can crack it for them? This would mean that the BOINC people are in it too but that should not be SO hard to imagine. Would this be possible?

    why don't you then INVEST in those companies, buy stock options and be one of the shareholders. Just so you know, the system is here for all of us.

  14. Re:EEEPC already does that. M$ is over. on Windows XP Lives, Thanks to Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Android will have a very hard time against this: Ericsson , Nokia , Panasonic , Samsung , Siemens and Sony Ericsson. And no, they are not using windows mobile. They are all shareholders at Symbian.

    May I remind all of you that windows mobile is a smartphone OS. Not middle to low phone market. It is a "niche" OS. "Everybody else" just landed 18.5m Symbian mobile phones shipped to consumers. That is 73% market share.

    On what phones will Android be shipped? Only on Motorola? If that is the case, Android is dead before it was born.

  15. Re:The Solution on Deutsche Telekom Secretly Tracked Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    All the reports seem to be indicating that it happened in Germany and not in the US. So arguably one should discuss it in a german context and not in an american one. Moreover, just because you doubt it doesn't mean it happened.

    Well you seem to be pretty sure of yourself. Here check for yourself what happens when a very, very solid study and the authors get into trouble when the data shows something other than the "scientific consensus".

    Even the mighty House of Representatives condemned the study (a first in our modern and very scientific times). The data was solid, the methodology was stone hard and still, when talking to a bunch of retards it does not matter. Especially if the retards are SCIENTISTS. That is why i am very weary when it comes to "consensus".

  21. Re:Monkey's uncle? on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 1

    ah but you too quick to dismiss the data that does not fit as "noise". I repeat, I am not a gene scientist :), in my field (psychology) such "noise" is normally attributed to different causes - be it evaluation bias (which is very, very different from "noise"), be it missing values (to which you can ask yourself, why the question was not answered) . But the data, if correct, never lies :). So noise can be a very tricky issue.

    But i diverge; your point is sound and valid. I was just trying to get some crappy methodological issues across :)

  22. Re:Monkey's uncle? on Ben Stein's 'Expelled' - Evolution, Academia and Conformity · · Score: 1

    not to be picky, but that is not really a standard normal distribution. Something like that is nowhere to be found in nature. No intelligence distribution will ever yield a normal distribution (there are bumps at both ends - just to point that out), no average height of all ppl in the world will not yield a normal distribution. In that image the distribution is a bit left skewed. Why? Dunno, I am no gene scientist :)

    I believe Darwin was right, but the abiogenesis stuff, we are not much further than the 19th century. That field lacks so much understanding I am even afraid to ask. All we have are a bunch of hypotheses. the same ones all over again. And when all are over we turn to panspermia which doesn't even explain anything, just moves the problem from here.

    Disney is one among several American companies lobbying for harsher enforcement of intellectual property around the world and continued copyright term extensions, posing a perceived threat to the existence of the public domain; see Copyright Term Extension Act.

    Guess who is the single largest stockholder at Disney? It can't be JOBS can it now? So if anything JOBS loves that DRM.
