    Actually, it's not a permanently installed cube. The take it out to scramble it up. Also, when scrambling, they block one of the cameras so it can't come up with a solution until they remove the blind. Impressive, but I think the speed is limited by how fast you can actually spin the cube faces.

    Hmm. I remember when there was a biggish earthquake in 1989 and the state voted to raise sales tax from 6% to 7.25% in order to pay for repairs to the SFO area. I also remember something along the lines of "this will only be active until the repairs are complete". I seem to remember it being active well into... well, it's currently 7.5%. It never went away. The parent is spot on.

    Curious. The whole point of collecting the "metadata" in advance was for prevention purposes. To pre-empt these kinds of attacks. Since that didn't happen, why collect the data in advance. Once they had a probable suspect, they could have gotten a warrant and started searching that data as soon as they had a lead on who committed the act. It seems like the existing system of obtaining a warrant and doing it the standard way would have had the same results.

    Non Insiders? You can't run without being an insider. Hillary has been an "insider" since her husband was president, Jeb has been an insider since his dad was president, Chris and Marco have been in the Senate/House for at least 5 years. Which news network do you subscribe to again?

  13. Re:Data data everywhere and not a drop to think on 737 'Tailstrike' Caused By Typo On a Tablet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget air temp, humidity, fuel tank placement, amount of reserve fuel, etc.. In the systems I work on, the Vx speeds aren't calculated automatically, they're supposed to be input by the pilot based on lookup tables.

    Also, for the people talking about automatic calculation of these values, some weights are different than others. Fuel is a variable weight which changes during flight whereas passenger/cargo weights stay static. CG changes with angle of attack and acceleration which has to be taken into account when setting up initial spoiler and elevator settings for takeoff as well. It's not just a simple "Aircraft is 76k lbs"

    Wait what? You crushed me? http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
    Looks like you're the one that got "crushed". You never answered any of my reasons why your system is better than DNS except that having a dedicated DNS server will use more electricity. All your rants and more were completely "proved wrong" in that post.

    Unfortunately, some people just can't learn from their mistakes. You think your solution is so damn good that you sound like a kid screaming "gimmie my ball back!" at the top of his lungs in the kindergarten playground.

    Host files have their place. Sticking millions of entries in it is not use, it's abuse. DNS won. Hosts lost. Get over it.

    Too bad you're just going to copy/paste your reply after this again and call everyone trolls.

    I feel sorry for you. You've taken something that was good and destroyed it. I'm sure that if you redirected half as much energy into something worthwhile that you do into posting spam all over slashdot that you could accomplish something noteworthy other than being the butt of jokes.

    You're terribly easy to provoke, and provably wrong to boot.

    Good day.

    Yah, your host file software (30k lines of code to manage a text file? WTF?) obviously doesn't work or it would be blocking you. You post more spam and ads for your software on here than other 3rd party ads. If your goal is to help cut down on spam and such, you're doing a really shitty job of it.

    You've posted your stupid shit in here 25 times and counting (as of this comment's writing). Just get off the internet already apk.
