A manager went to the master programmer and showed him the requirements document for a new application. The manager asked the master: "How long will it take to design this system if I assign five programmers to it?"
"It will take one year," said the master promptly.
"But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How long will it take if I assign ten programmers to it?"
The master programmer frowned. "In that case, it will take two years."
"And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?"
The master programmer shrugged. "Then the design will never be completed," he said.
Also, I'd treat anyone calling themselves a "rockstar anything" with suspicion. What they're telling you is that they're flashy, have a huge ego, expect to be treated and paid like royalty, may have a drug habit and might possibly (but not probably) have some actual singing ability.
As opposed to, you know, just tweeting that you survived because your friends already know your Twitter handle? Hell, if you're in a position to use Twitter, you could just drop them an email. The real challenge is to reconnect family with those survivors who haven't wound up somewhere with online access, or who don't use social networks in the first place.
(But seriously, can the SEC even touch him? If not, that imparts a serious lesson to everyone who uses BC for financial trading rather than just an online payment method.)
People are stupid not because of any dumbass (and borderline racist) misinterpretation of how natural selection works, but because religious assholes with a lot of money are fucking up the education system.
Instead of accommodating religious politicians by making an extra "religious" test just for their constituency, they should be thrown out of office. Institute a requirement that candidates have at least a middle-school level of scientific literacy in order to become part of the government.
The key is just 'in the algorithm' that derives the key.
This isn't just a check that compares values against other values; it's an actual encryption. The algorithm doesn't know and cannot derive the correct key.
The algorithm can only read certain attributes from the environment (eg. serial numbers), calculate a hash sum, and then attempt to use that as a key. If the attributes match the target system, the hash will be the correct key, and the decryption will succeed. Otherwise, the decryption will fail. There is no way to crack this without either trying all possible hashes or all possible attribute values (whichever is easier). Serial numbers, MAC and a few other attributes could together be hundreds of bits long, making brute force infeasible.

Yeah right.
I'm presuming it's the software that's malicious, not the researcher.
Reckless optimism: It can only get better.
Never ever, even if it's the end of the world, leave your house without a toothbrush.
Better a Star Trek replicator than a Stargate replicator.
Marooned On Vesta?
It is a key ingredient in ICBM warheads, making it a vital resource for national security. You didn't know that?

Dinachicken!
Yeah, that whole popularization of the agency through publicity stunts like the Moon Landing was a big mistake...

oh wait.

US healthcare will pay for religious mutilation, but not for planned parenthood.
I think we've identified the core of what is wrong here.
That was 10>9.81.
I use meters per second, as everybody should. (But air resistance and 9.8110 are valid points.)
So really it's an electric car that inefficiently converts electric energy into air pressure before usage. That's nice.
Otherwise these news would be kind of worrying.
From 0 to 100 in 10 seconds (free-fall only)
It only applies to questions that can be answered with yes or no.
Duh.
How long before that happens?
(Or maybe for a small fee one of those Olympic missiles might accidentally misfire.)

Genetic memory?
I don't see how that could possibly go wrong...
