So Solution 2 gives some coordinates that identify a point near the sculpture, yet I can't find any mention of anyone taking a shovel to that location.
Has anyone been out there rooting around in the dirt?
The answer has to be a blindingly obvious "yes", but the internet fails to give me that answer...
Thank you for typing all of this out; it was very informative. The ability with git to commit much more freely without affecting others using the same repository seems like a very big plus. Immediately being able to "save off" the three separate bugs you mentioned is nice, and on long multi-day coding sessions I could see myself "saving off" the results at the end of each day. It's like having a local SVN repository on your machine with a very simple way to push to the repository later on.
At our company we're still working under the old check-out/change/check-in model, and the idea of allowing multiple people to make changes to a file at the same time (let alone merge those changes together when they're both done) would probably terrify many here. So we're still many steps away from "hey let's all use git"! At least now I understand some good reasons why we might consider git.
I believe the boring parts are exactly what this discussion needs. There are enough people saying "X works for me".
I read your follow-up comment about developing on two separate machines. Did this simply get solved by using GitHub? If there had been a third-party SVNHub site would that have fixed your limitations as well?
For example it has NOTHING similar to Adblock Plus and Noscript. Instead you have to run a third party tool like privoxy, and do "all or nothing" JavaScript whitelisting to get a "kinda sorta, but not really" ABP and NS functionality.
Opera has had content blocking for a while now. Granted, it doesn't come with a pre-built blacklist.
All I'm saying is that just because the algorithm got 30% of the words right doesn't mean that it can "solve the current CAPTCHA at an efficacy of 30%".
I'm watching the video, and the end result is "b:1/78 1.28% s:27/78 34.62%" indicating that out of 78 tests of two words per test it got a single word right 35% of the time, and both words right only once or 1% of the time.
Since both words need to be correct "solve the current CAPTCHA at an efficacy of 1%" would be closer to the truth.
At that point he was screwed. If he said "nothing", he could reasonably expect to get nothing. His only option was to say "all" if he wanted to get a chance at something.
can use the shared key to spoof the AP and send messages to other users, and force them to give up or change their unique per-user keys
I haven't read the spec, but it seems odd that per-user keys would be given up or changed in response to a broadcast message. Could this attack be mitigated by only performing these kinds of actions in response to direct, non-broadcast messages?
I just went to tvshack.cc and my virusscanner (NOD32) went nuts and Java things started executing. I killed everything before it had a chance to do anything, but I'd say watch your step if you're going to visit that site.

I just googled that list of ingredients and I'm pretty sure the FBI is on it's way to my house right now. Thank you for that.

I heard that if you stick a penny to the top of your case it speeds up everything by 200%.

My guess is that the answer is "yes". Everyone who tried it hasn't reported back yet because they're, um, busy.
I happen to find this extremely counter-intuitive.
I knew you would.
I'm not above using a Live CD to do things, and to collect stuff, which is stored on other things.
You sound like a fascinating person and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Bummer, I expected something exciting.

"to lift 1000 grams (1 kg), you need about 163 grams (~0.16 kg) of helium"
150 tons = 150,000 kg
150,000 * 163 = 24,450,000 grams of helium needed
24,450,000 grams of helium = 137,000 cubic meters
"A billion cubic metres - or about half of the world's reserves"
2 billion / 137,000 = 14,598.5
14,598.5 airships before we run out of the current reserves. I think we're good. (Except for that last half airship, it'll be kinda screwed.)
Because sometimes you don't need a full TCP connection and UDP is the better tool for the job.

You should have read the Slashdot post too, since your news article refers to this post instead of the current one.

Seriously? It's like we're not even trying anymore.
Within the realm of imaginable possibility, yes. Within the realm of possible possibility, no.
Actually I guess that's not what I'm saying, because I said "1%" which was wrong. You may consider my face egged.

Awesome!
I asked him "all or nothing?"

You just called Firefox a last-gen archaic browser. Good job.
