  1. Re:Yes, the solution is also provided by Google. on Google Propping Up Typosquatting Biz? · · Score: 1
    Google does more to help people find sites than any other search engine. Only a person with a crippled browser who also hates Google would try to find any site by typing the name as a URL anymore...

    A google search for "Bist Buy" returns exactly what you would want. The first thing displayed is the official Best Buy site and the second is a warning link, "Did you mean: best buy ," which directs the user to the legitimate site.

    Also, there is Google Suggest. I don't think I have hit a single typosquatter since I started using it.

  2. Re:Move towards wind or hydro. on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 1
    If we run out, it *is* possible to mine nuclear materials from elsewhere in the solar system. This is a much more difficult thing to do with coal and oil.

    How about methane from Titan?

  3. Re:I just use a simple Python script on NTP Pool Project Reaches 500 Servers · · Score: 1
    I just use a simple Python script to grab the time to within one second from time.gov. (The server responds with a single TCP packet with Unix time in ASCII decimal. I time how long it takes to get the packet, and split the difference.)

    I run it once every couple of days. Works for me. YMMV.

    NTP from a public server is way overkill for most uses. Everyone talks about how easy it is to use - until things start going wrong. There are just too many moving parts that can break.
