You would think that the priority would be to investigate the incident, check how recruits working on army intelligence are selected, trained and supervised... Instead, we get this implausible thumb drive scenario.
Who said they are not doing that as well? I don't see how one thing contradicts the other.
While not naming specifically cosmic rays as the cause in this case, what examples of actual cosmic ray-induced debacles are there in software eng. history?

It's the latest way for Hollywood to combat falling DVD sales due to ever increasing DRM bullshit legit. users have to deal with.
Seems to me like a big problem for MonoTouch too:(
It is a commercial project based on Mono for compiling C# code into native iPhone code.
It's a shame how the programming languages eco-system for the iPhone is so small.
While a good programmer can program well with any language, I would still rather program in C#/Python/Java than Objective-C.
Nevertheless the victor's 1.4 GHz laptop, running his own code, took less than a minute to find the settings for all 12 wheels... 240 times faster than Colossus. If you scale the CPU frequency by that factor, you get an equivalent clock of 5.8 MHz for Colossus. That is a remarkable speed for a computer built in 1944.
while they don't showcase a running Bombe replica, I saw at Bletchley Park a fully running rebuild of the Colossus machine, which was used at WW2 to break the more complex encryption utilized by the Lorenz SZ40 machine.
Since it has programmable boolean functions I bet it can be used to break Enigma code as well.
Reading that many of the grid controllers are connected to the internet seemed odd to me too, but it turns out that there are many controllers in remote and desolate places where the only possible communication is through the internet (i.e. through phonelines). Now, it would be a good move (security-wise) to place a new isolated fiber\copper network between those controllers, but it does sound more costly than you first think when reading the article.

Personally I think it was nice, giving us a perspective how the deceased affected the writer's life, and probably others' as well.
to realize it's not April fools and then another 5 seconds to verify it's not a dupe from April fools
I call bull'... It's turtles, turtles all the way down!!

Dude, we had those for quite some time now... didn't you see them COMPAQ Portables?
They're IBM compatible and everything!
Indeed :)
I have fond memories of it... Looked it up on YouTube not so long ago and pined nostalgically
It sounds like you had the shareware. /autotest /q?
have you tried format c:
this registers the game and then you don't return to windows so quickly
It was a blast :) :)
I remember it as one of the first 3d games I ever saw.
Thanks for the reminder
If there was a +6, I'd have given you a +1.

Also likely an issue is Facebook's decision to take 30 percent of revenues
No sh*t sherlock... that was the main contention point.
Name FAIL
(which then leads to an atmosphere where an insane Jew declares a war on Jews, Catholics, Gypsies, Gays, and pretty much anyone else he doesn't like)
You had me until there...
Russia isn't really socialist anymore.
The SU collapsed and the new Russia is ad capitalistic as it's euro neighbors.

And I'm all out of gum.
I think simply implementing the breaking algorithm in your favorite language on your PC would be more convenient and also give results much faster ;-))
You are right of course:

You still get massive geek cred. either way :)

MS Paint is nice, but my personal favorite is adobe illustrator.
Nothing like vector based code!
They sure aren't treating their servers properly.
If Facebook U is the prestigious one, does MySpace U is the new "clown university"?
