Perhaps imposing the same rigid curriculum on all students does not give the best result? Students interested in art but not science may enjoy learning to use a graphics program, but not enjoy programming a game. Don't you think its more important that we find the one interest that each student has, rather than forcing every student to memorize the presidents? There is certainly a requirement that all students need to share a set of core knowledge and capabilities. However, the focus on college preparation and standardized testing has flattened education into a uniform gray pudding of rote and boredom.
My belief is that the common requirement could be made much smaller, and the elective portion much larger and more challenging, with no loss of civic responsibility or limitation on aspirations.
Why do you say this? I had the ramen worm way back when. Do you think the virus authors just stopped after writing one? I get ssh login attempts all the time on my box, do you think they just want to get on and run hack?
And don't give me nonsense about not running as root. If you aren't running an IDS like tripwire, then its game over. Once a user account gets hacked, then can modify PATH, install a keylogger, wait for you to login and type su.
I also heard that something called TPC or TCP is widely used by hax0rs to pwn remote servers.
They don't need a law to protect TCP. It already has RFC 3514. All they need is a similar flag for perl. I think they can just overload the "-t" flag. Perl must be tainted if it is being used for criminal purposes.
This source agrees with you, and he lists 8M-pixel sensors in his article:
"It turns out that the noise in good modern digital cameras is dominated by photon counting statistics, not other sources."
This pretty much says thermal noise is not a factor.
The question was why dividing a given array into more pixels would result in more noise. This requires that each sensor be made smaller, and that there be more amplifiers, but it does not require that the amplifiers be smaller. That would only follow if the amplifiers took up a significant area relative to the sensor size. The metallization is smaller with a finer geometry, but the transistor area can be whatever the designers choose.
Which part of "You can make the same arguments for internal random shot noise" did you not understand? You get a constant amount of thermal noise over a given sensor area, regardless of the number of pixels it is divided into.
"A high pixel count also means smaller physical sizes for each pixel on the sensor which means an increase in noise."
Hunh? Externally generated noise hits a large pixel and changes it 25% or hits a small pixel and changes it all the way from black to white. Net result in image quality - looks the same because the three other small pixels around it didn't change. You can make the same arguments for internal random shot noise. The amount of noise hitting the camera doesn't change, so its net effect on the resulting image doesn't change.
If there was a public key repository where legitimate users placed a public key for decryption, and all legitmate email were sent encrypted with the corresponding private key, the authenticity of the email could be known.
Who gets to be the keeper of the keys and decide when to revoke them? Government? "Honest" ISPs? You?
Assume that we get Jimmy Carter to run this, say. What is to prevent the same DDOS attack on the servers holding the keys?
I guess you didn't read the first paragraph of the article.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less."

I don't have stats for Australia, but incidence of brain tumor in US is very common: 1 in 3000 people per year. So the Pentagon, for example, with 23,000 employees, should expect to have about 5 or 6 cases per year in the same building without any linking factors.
The radiation levels were normal when they tested. Does anyone know if cell tower equipment has higher power diagnostic modes? Are there any equipment malfunctions that could cause short bursts of high energy?
If that doesn't pan out, I would check out that old microwave oven in the break room and whatever is growing in the back of the fridge.

So it will look about like the cloaking device in Predator. That's sufficiently cool. They can name it the Kevin Peter Hall Effect.
Like Jessica Cutler, for example.

Verbal contracts are binding, and who wouldn't trust the word of a lawyer?
Looks like that's WWV right now. I guess we have to give up the radio time standard?
I recently figured out a fairly anonymous method of reporting vulnerabilities for a cost of only $0.39. Send SASE for details.

In the mail header, you already have the sender's IP address. How would sending a return receipt make anything more traceable?

From your point of view, they are. What's the problem? Neither is moving faster than C.
The view of someone on either ship is not the same as yours. of course.
