My question is whether there will be any winner at all other than netflix? One of the rules for the competition was that you could not form multiple teams. This was to prevent people from gaining multiple submissions per day. Otherwise a five person group could create 30 teams and thus be able to submit 30 attempts per day. I believe both teams that have exceeded the 10% threshold and thus are eligible for the grand prize are composed of members from other teams and could be disqualified.
If you were running a store with a physical presence, would you also ban customers who drove Toyotas, telling them "Toyota is insignificant, and therefore you are not allowed to shop at my store. Come back when you have a Ford or GM"?
You mean like Harley Davidson used to do (and still sometimes does)? Try riding up to the store on a Honda and see if anyone will even talk to you.
Sadly, none of Mongrel's success mattered for me. Even though everyone was using my software, the vast majority of firms using Mongrel were startups. The last thing a startup wants to admit is that they don't own their intellectual property. They want everyone, especially the VCs and investors, to believe that they're all geniuses who "innovated" everything they run.
So if I build the next great NASCAR engine, I should credit Craftsman(TM) for making the sockets I used to assemble it? Maybe these startups should also credit the RAM, mobo, and PS manufacturers for the parts in the server.
The runtime that we observed for the 112-bit case implies that, even though the 160-bit ECC standard is supposed to be phased out by the end of the year 2010, for the next decade no regular user needs to be overly concerned about the security of 160-bit ECC.
While in general this is an impressive result and an interesting use of the PS3 computing architecture, the above conclusion is flawed. Just because their approach did not yield a result in a computationally reasonable length of time in no way implies that one does not exist. It just means that this isn't it.
The thing is that the machine doesn't have a way to count how much bills it takes back, so you can just take the bills from the middle and you will get a full refund.
Except that the bills taken back go into s separate hopper, the transaction is marked questionable, and a hold is likely placed on the funds until the transaction can be settled manually. The misdispense may also cause the ATM to be taken out of service until it can be checked. Certainly that will happen if more than one misdispense occurs. Fraud monitoring software may detect a pattern of unusual misdispenses on a particular card and flag that for investigation as well.
Even if this did work, I don't see how it would be related to the particular operating system used on the ATM.
No, lazy editors. The submission is what the submission is. It is up to the editors to select meaningful submissions that accurately reflect the story. Any failure of the submission to do that is a failure on the part of the editorial staff, be it through laziness or incompetence.
Is blu-ray still around? I thought it had gone the way that all the proprietary Sony formats had gone before. That is, it had faded into obscurity from disinterest. Let me know when players are less than $100 and discs are under $15. Meanwhile I will continue to use my HD-DVD player, which was purchased for $50 and for which I bought season one of Heroes yesterday for $9.
The difference between newspapers and random hearsay is (in the best cases) a lot of effort in developing broad and balanced sources, fact checking, having an editorial process for some degree of fairness and accuracy (as much as that's suffered in the past decade) and generally putting out a "report" on a subject (that's why we call them reporters). That's a lot of hard, often tedious work that is not going to get done well unless someone is paid to do it. And frankly we should all want to pay for that kind of good content to be made, even when we disagree with it.
Yes, but what do the newspapers have going for them?
To modify your examples, it would be like prosecuting the manufacturer of the car for letting people speed with it, or prosecuting the manufacturer of the Louisville Slugger that someone gets beaten with.
Or like prosecuting the manufacturer of the handgun that... oh wait. Never mind.
get some thermite, glue it to the top of your harddrive with a fuse connected to the cover on your PC case, if not opened properly the harddrive melts...
I look forward to seeing your name on the list of 2009 Darwin Award recipients.
The anonymous nature of the Internet allows (and seemingly even encourages) people to post stupid comments.
It has less to do with the nature of the internet and more to do with the nature of the people on the internet. For the most part they post stupid comments because that is the best they can do.
I would especially like to thank AOL for its many years of contribution in this area.
I subscribe to a random number service which is connected to a quantum lab and space noise...
Space noise? Really? That's not good. You do realize that with the change in the rate of expansion of the universe, the amount of doppler shift is going to vary and possibly even change in sign. This could mean that in a very short time your experiment and conclusions might not be verifiable.
You realize that you aren't saying anything at all, right? Your argument is that since encrypted data is different than random data (an assumption you make without stating), encrypted data will look different than random data.
I never thought I would see a real life case of "begging the question", but here it is. I want to thank the GP for making the statement and some AC for pointing it out.
But now I've got a new hoop to jump through when I update a new computer:
Here is a link to an article discussing the registry keys needed to turn off javascript in Reader. Scripting this should help automate your new machine build without any added human intervention.
Most people do not act rationally in the face of something like the prisoner's dilemna for one of two reasons:
They don't know how to think rationally any more, or
they don't know how to do the math.
HSMs have supported these methods for years. The only reason for compromise is rogue insiders or sloppiness.
HSM handling protocols are also designed to prevent this sort of thing. The protocols are designed so that a compromise requires the collusion of several individuals. The information or data kept by a single participant is useless without the other components.
Every operation that is performed on the unit requires at least dual control. Many operations require three or more independent people. These operations have to be performed on a dedicated terminal that is kept in an access controlled environment.

You did not just say that. Tell me you did not just say that.

For those people in the US who don't want their exit node slammed, please do the following:
Maybe if they bought something that played video they wouldn't have so much trouble.
Why not? Why should the athletes reap all of the rewards?
Yes, but what do the newspapers have going for them?

Actually it doesn't. That phrase has a very specific meaning. Please see begthequestion.info for a detailed explanation.
Come on, admit it. You always want to know how to program a n00b.
