    from wikipedia:

    "Traditionally, an agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateurs, French for "inciting agent") is a person employed by the police or other entity to act undercover to entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act. More generally, the term may refer to a person or group that seeks to discredit or harm another by provoking them to commit a wrong or rash action."

    He assumes that all the keys are different.

    Well lets say a company had 40 keys... but they all have the same addition formula. What now? Everything would come out the same.

  4. Re:Home ! Office on What Business Can Learn from Open Source · · Score: 0

    well, the whole thing is about flexibility. If you work from home, than you have much more flexibility over what time you put in, what effort, but it always comes down to: Have you done what your boss wanted you to, and have you done it well. I think those would be my first priorites before i even think about that extra 4 hours that would count as a "10% cut". Not unless i want that, ya know, the other "90%".

  5. The problem with bittorrent... on The Commercial Future of Torrrents · · Score: 0

    ... is that it's completely based on whatever client someone uses. Since not everyone uses Azureus or ABC or Bit-Comet and the such, sometimes the downloads gets a little screwy. Such programs that allows people to download, lets say 1mbps, and only upload 10 kbps hurts everyone else currently on the download tracker. Then, lets say, that someone logs off as soon as hes done. This not only puts more pressure on the others seeding, but also reduces the overall speed and completeness of the torrent

    Of course, if the ratio were somehow locked, such as in some other P2P program, and companies which will eventually use bt for commercial downloads, would eventually regulate BT to the point in which a new, better system would be developed.

  9. No as portable on PC Keyboard Connected to PSP · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Although a full sized keyboard would allow much more room for typing and stuff, id prefer the mini keyboard that someone has already hacked to work with the IR port on the psp. I cant access gaming stuff at work, so i leave it to you to find out more about it.

    Has anyone read Kiln People? (isbn 0765342618)

    well here is a brief summary (from amazon):

    Just about everyone's had a day when they've wished it were possible to send an alternate self to take care of unpleasant or tedious errands while the real self takes it easy. In Kiln People, David Brin's sci-fi-meets-noir novel, this wish has come true. In Brin's imagined future, folks are able to make inexpensive, disposable clay copies of themselves.

  24. Anyone read them halo books? on Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit · · Score: 1
    Well in "fall of reach", the civilians create the mjonir suits, the suits which the master chief etc uses, and it basically amplified the "basic movements of the body".

    This however, with the normal human body, caused the user to move slightly, causing mjonir to change position so fast that it broke the bones inside the body, then causing spasm which further increased the damage. Only the genetically enhanced humans could take the strain because of their strong skeletal and muscular systems.
