During a national emergency or war, food production plants may need to keep aspects of their operation secret. Since some of these operations will be in some way coordinated with the government, they will use the security products sactioned by the government (that is the NSA).
I challenge you to produce evidence that the US federal government imposes information security requirements on food production plants.
It should speed up our processes considerably to not have to be tied to "wired" networks.
Then why didn't you just run ipsec over conventional 802.11? It will be just as secure as this, and can be done on commodity hardware and with free software.
You are thinking violators of copyright or trademarks.
Apple sues and threatens to sue people who do nothing wrong, but that in some way relates to Apple's products. Since these people are doing nothing wrong, my conclusion is that you can not determine how to prevent yourself from being sued by Apple when you do something remotely like this. You can't use the law nor any moral system as a guide. Only the whim of their teams of lawyers.
What the fuck are you talking about? Why did you even make this comment? There was nothing to back it up. If anything, this promotes the image that Apple wants to get across.
Apple has sued, and threatened, to sue, people in the past who could also be considered as promoting a positive image of Apple. They have a history of making threats against innocent people.
Nice, I look forward to the improvemenets. One big problem is that I can not find a way to determine that two processes are actually threads of the same process. It is possible to guess, of course, but is there a way to conclusively determine for sure, while we wait for these improvements?
I guess there are some neat tricks they don't want to share with ATI and others.
This is silly. Competitors have the resources dedicate a person to any reverse engineering project, which means they will have time to disassemble the code.
Closed-source drivers benefit nobody. It is a pointless concept.
A Central Office (CO) switch is basically a mainframe-class computer programed in assembler.
Surely this can't be true. What benefit would there be to assembler over a modern programming language, even C? Writing massive MASSIVE applications in assembler would be time consuming and error prone.
Seems that "Intellectual Property" is a vague concept some people seem to have a hard time grasping......
Because "intellectual property" is a vague concept that is extremely recent relative to the age of our species. It goes contrary to what had been standard practice for ages.
Thats why it's a problem, because you need very small timesteps to register the state changes properly.
I know this, you know this. The point is that the author of the article I was referring to did not know this. He completely confused the issue. And if he lacks the basic understanding of what is being done, what else is he wrong about?
What you say with does not contradict my point in any way. In fact, it stands in agreement with it. "7 million time slices" in your example because in relation to the resolution, it is a long (and not short) period of time.
then you have to multiply 3 by itself 100 times to get the number of possible shapes the chain might fold into. This is a big number - roughly speaking, the current age of the universe, squared. One hundred amino acids is a short protein.
No units of time for the "age of the universe"? This number, by my math, is the age of the universe in microseconds. Surely this is a significant detail.
Personally, I rather enjoy the right to not be woke up in the middle of the night by jack-booted thugs displeased with my criticism of some leader in government.
Which is why every day, I consider leaving the US.
"One reason that protein folding is so difficult to simulate is that it occurs amazingly fast," Pande explained. "Small proteins have been shown to fold in a timescale of microseconds [millionths of a second], but it takes the average computer one day just to do a one-nanosecond [billionth-of-a-second] folding simulation."
Who is this guy, and why does he make such an obviously false statement? Should this make me willing to trust these people and contribute to this process?
If it takes one CPU-day to do 1ns of folding simulation, then protein folding is difficult to simulate because it occurs over a (relatively) long, not short time. This should be obvious, and therefore either the statement is either a deliberate lie or a misquote.
i thought this rather clear from the very beginning... or perhaps i assumed too much.
This should be clear to everyone, but people forget quickly. Just as people consider it a new and shocking claim that the US's war in Iraq has something to do with oil.
That's probaly how they planned it out, also. Some executive said "we need to be 99.99% sure our rocket won't crash into a major city, killing thousands". So, only one in every 10000th flight results in such a disaster.

Do you really believe that his corn processing is DOD classified?

When censoring unpopular political beliefs, where should the line be drawn? And will this line be moved every 6 months?
Do you really believe this?
How long until Apple sues this guy?
You think they can't already do this, by tracking your cellphone?

Skin color is a choice. Look at Michael Jackson. The issue is now, at what cost does such a choice become no choice at all?

cuts down the communications requirement by something like the square root of the number of atoms involved,
Surely he means "to" and not "by", as they have opposite meanings.

These are only secure if you trust the security of the telephone network. Why do you trust the security of your network to unknown third parties?
