We only have a small problem... the program is stored in a few trillion copies (all of which need to be changed), of extremely complex molecules (which we can't reliable modify (we can't even reliably read them) even when we have only 1 outside of the body).
Looks like some legacy I've had to work it in the past.
It's not good because serial Numbers are err.... serial. You could of course print a somewhat random formula to be used as a hash function to be fed with the serial. The user would have to calculate this by hand to find out the default password. Anything involving partial differential equations would nicely fit this purpose with the advantage of being utterly user-friendly.
You have to realise it's not the person attacking you, it's the disease and for this reason I think that it is also can become contagious (so to speak) who do not have this capability.
Man. Let me tell ya, you must be a great friend for that guy. Keep up the good work and thumbs up for you! There should exist more people like you in this world.
For example: Suppose you have a guy on trial for killing his wife. There's no body, but she disappeared and no evidence of her has been found. Prior to her disappearance, the defendant was observed to make threats against her. On the night of the alleged murder, a neighbour heard a big fight, then silence. The neighbour then observed the defendant moving a large, body-sized container to his car. There is then video from an incinerator in town showing the defendant putting the body sized container in to the fire.
Well, this would be a case where it just isn't reasonable to doubt that the defendant is guilt of murder. Sure, you can come up with all sorts of off the wall explanations for what happened, but none of them give reasonable doubt.
Unless, of course, you're a famous professional sportsman or very very rich and famous.
If you are worried about that experiment, just spread the rumor that it's related to stem cells being used to help gay couples marry and Fox News will do the rest for you. For added effect say that of the researchers is an mexican illegal alien stealing the job from an american scientist.
Some people don't like noise, you know? People talking, emails appearing from nothing, faxes that came from some number from a northwestern state. Really annoying things if you ask me. So, while some people want supercars, jet planes, islands and things like that, others will pay whatever is needed to have peace and silence.
Poors.... They always amaze me with such comments.
When I read such statements, I seriously consider stopping reading/. A life of yatches, women, Lamborghinis, women, gulfstream jets, women, casinos and women is already hard enough without seeing such kind of king.
I am shocked of learning that! Uau! What a surprise. Now Michael Moore is not trustworthy, tomorrow someone will say that Da Vinci's code is fiction. What next? Santa Claus does not exist?
A real time system is one that guarantees that some operations will obey a deterministic contract on time response, it's not about performance, it's more about "Fuck the hell! I need a fix on my position every 1/2000 sec, and the Hell if the AC is going to get crazy because there won't be cycles left to poll the temperature from the sensors and adjust the fucking atuators" Unless you're writing a chemical plant controller, a flight computer or something like that, an Strictly Real Time System is overkill and probably a pain in the ass to program. The only thing you need is a good scheduler. Or then, call Edsger Dijkstra to the party and blame the invention of interrupts. Without interrupts, it would be a lot more easy to write enourmously inneficient systems, but also highly predictable ones.
No, disobeying the law is not how capitalism works, it's the exception and not the rule, and that's why we pay taxes to live in a civilized world. Don't forget that several times microsoft has been found guilty of anti-competitive behavior and had sanctions applied not only in the US, but also in the EU.
Lately, there it seems to be a bunch of people here on/. that like to portray any microsoft criticism as childish manifestations of fan-boyism. It's good to have someone remembering from time to time that our problem with microsoft has to do with their illegal and anti-ethical behaviors, behaviors who had the intent to monopolize the market, at the cost of destroying innovation. Linux is good not because it's a l33t thing, but because Linux was instrumental on keeping innovation alive on the computing field.
I was talking to a friend of mine, Morgan Freeman, and he violently opposes the very idea of making such research. He declined to tell me why it's not a good idea.

Well... Variola, Marburg, Ebola and the list goes on. Frankly, I'd rather have AIDS than any other of those things.
There's a rumour floating around that Hans Reiser found a solution for that problem for every wife X, where X is not using bullet-proof vests.
Promise to show them some porn, and you'll get your million typist monkeys in a really short amount of time.

It would be funny seeing companies like banks installing freax(TM) on some of their mission-critical servers.
+1 Absurdly and Painfully Correct and Insightful.

So, they have two hypothesis to be tested:
1) That they can create a black hole
2) That such ridiculous small black holes would evaporate before fucking my day.
Motherfuckers! What's wrong with just simulating that with a badass supercomputer? Making experiments is so XX century....
Nah, no way you're getting me as those guys did with my employee.

jeez!!!

The fucking irony here is that Iran is a lot more of a real threat than iraq was.

Yes. And my girlfriend is a living proof of that statement.
Sure, but the birth would likely be a literal pain in the ass for the partner hosting the fetus.
You don't need too much inteligence to go out there on a killing spree. Quite the opposite, may I say.
Dear Dr.
May I, as your humble financial advisior, sugest you to ask for euros? or (even better) gold?
