  1. Re:I guess you didn't RTFA on Not All the DOJ Missing Emails Are Missing · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I didn't RTFA until now. But even if they were trying to push voting fraud in 2004 and 2006 and Iglesias was resisting that, I don't see any hard evidence that it was the reason for his firing (or others).

    Those all seem dated to 2004.

  3. Re:Their arguments: 1-5 on Should Vendors Close All Security Holes? · · Score: 1

    Good summary. Are hackers reading the description of what the patch fixes, or are they seeing how the binaries changed? Is there a way of patching that makes it difficult to detect what really changed? Or maybe changing some unused bytes as a red herring?

  4. Re:No BS please on Student, Denied Degree For MySpace Photo, Sues · · Score: 1

    She received a grade of "R" for her professionalism. Seriously: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/04 26072pirate4.html

    They hint at some other problem which they can't go into because of 'federal student privacy restrictions'.
    But if she had other academic problems, why did they grant her an English degree? It seems like a vague statement from the university meant to delay criticisms.
  6. Re:This would do wonders in the tropics on Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home · · Score: 1

    They already do this in some developing countries. It seems especially helpful for places where they can't easily connect up to main power lines. I was in a remote village in Thailand, and they had power cells on their huts. I have a feeling it was done by Westerners, since they didn't think about what they'd use the power for - I only saw them use it to power their TVs.

  7. Re:Details on Pi Recited to 100,000 Digits · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's true. I recall reading that you can never have more than a certain number of zeros in a row. There's a theorem that puts the maximum number of consecutive zeros in pi to around 20 or 30. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find where this is mentioned.
