  1. Nothing really special on Hackers Find Home In Amazon EC2 Cloud · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hackers break into website, but it happens to be hosted on EC2. Hosting in cloud doesn't automagically make your sites more secure.

  2. Re:It all comes down to what you do with it on Biometric Face Recognition At Your Local Mall · · Score: 1

    I don't think tht this will be used for more than warning the security officers at mall when someone who was caught earlier for stealing comes again into mall.

  3. Re:Questions: on Martian Methane May Be Created By Lifeforms · · Score: 5, Informative

    The problem is that on mars all methane should vanish in months due to oxidizing soil. Therefore something must be replenishing it.

  4. Re:Well, at least the rest don't do this. on TSA's Sloppy Redacting Reveals All · · Score: 1

    50kg of any good explosive (heck, even anfo) could do much damage. I could take this much into airport easily all by myself. Now take just four people standing with big luggages in four points of line, blast all bags at once and you have nice explosion.

  5. Re:multiple revision? on Defining Useful Coding Practices? · · Score: 1

    A sentence should enough words to express one thought, a paragraph enough sentences to express one idea.

    I think you the whole idea.

  6. Re:Well, then... on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 1

    My boss has my number, but instead he doesn't call my if there is no emergency (it happened off-hours only two times this year, I got a little bigger bonus then). It all depends on the work culture in your workplace.

  7. Re:You'll still need a database for... on Magento Beginner's Guide · · Score: 1

    This fetching from db is not really a problem. I've made dozens (over 20 different) shops and it wasn't a problem. Only when queries are unoptimized and there is big bloat in system, pages load slow. For normal custom shops, it's all fast.

  8. Magento is nice, but... on Magento Beginner's Guide · · Score: 1

    Magento is a nice system, but it's BIG. It's not bloated. Just it's architecture makes it really slow. With one item in db, default configuration and served locally it shouldn't really take almost two seconds to refresh a page.

  9. Re:When Signed/Unsigned Strikes on Bizarre Droid Auto-Focus Bug Revealed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    For a programmer unbalanced sentence termination characters are just bad.

  10. Re:"Not waiting long"? on Bizarre Droid Auto-Focus Bug Revealed · · Score: 1

    long long long time_t: too long for gcc.

  11. Re:Customer Service : My Screen is Broken on Apple Patents "Enforceable" Ad Viewing On Devices · · Score: 1

    I would have an use for a free iPhone, but TOS specifically prohibits using it as a telemetry device, so plans of my rocket model with gps/accelerometer position logging are not going anywhere ;)

  12. Re:Why worry? on The NoSQL Ecosystem · · Score: 1

    You didn't see anything until you've seen simulations of vibrations in fast rotating shafts done in Access. I think programming those in any compiled language could bring calculation time from 2 days to 5 minutes...

  13. Re:Talk about feeding the conspiracy theorists on Researchers Implant Neural-Monitoring RFID Into a Moth · · Score: 1

    They could use popular "cure" for rfid tags which works for passports with rfid - put their head inside microwave.

  14. Re:"User error"? on Why Computers Suck At Math · · Score: 1

    A fixed point integer (32 bits) can mark tenths of seconds with complete accuracy for over 13 years.

    0.1s (error 0.0000001) + 0.1s (error 0.0000001) = 0.2s (error 0.0000002).
    representing time with complete accuracy for 13years doesn't mean anything when errors accumulate. And 24bit floating point has less accuracy than 32bit fixed point, especially as 0.1 is NOT easily represented in binary.

  15. Re:The only prudent thing to do with these things. on Time Warner Cable Modems Expose Users · · Score: 1

    There is no way to put it in bridge mode

    There is now, just turn off javascript.

  16. Re:Quick solution on The Risks and Rewards of Warmer Data Centers · · Score: 3, Informative

    Condensation happens on surfaces colder than surrounding air. If you have computers which are warmer than your cooling air, it would not be a problem.

  17. Re:Let them play WOW on Volunteers Wanted For Simulated 520-Day Mars Trip · · Score: 1

    Also give me some ebooks to read

    Ebooks would be the only choice on such trip. During 520 days I could read more paper books than I weigh.

  18. Re:"bluetooth uses less power" on Wi-Fi Direct Overlaps Bluetooth Territory For Connecting Devices · · Score: 1

    And could they do wifi chips and antennas this small?

  19. Re:But... on Nissan Gives Electric Cars Blade Runner Audio Effect · · Score: 1

    So it's her fault? I'm always looking around when I'm backing out, if I don't see everything clearly (like when someone has darkened windows) I'm just backing up very slowly so everyone can see what I'm doing.

  20. Re:Pirate Bay is dead. on Pirate Bay Buyer Sued For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    http://www.jamendo.com/ to the rescue ;)

  21. Re:So.. what is the efficiency of this motor? on Blueprint For a Quantum Electric Motor · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've seen an article, where authors said that it is possible to encode quantum information in "holes" in photon flow. For example when you have steady stream of photons, each emitted exactly after the same period, you can actually encode information in photons which should be sent in some cycles, but they need not be really sent. They stated at the end that quantum physics is so strange that a quantum computer which doesn't really work is the best one: it completes calculations and returns real results but because it doesn't work - it doesn't make errors.

  22. Re:How many slots does the card take up? on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 1

    Whoops, you're right, 3*sqrt(220)=44.5...

  23. Re:Viruses don't live on Creating a Quantum Superposition of Living Things · · Score: 1

    Biological viruses REALLY are like computer viruses. Computer ones also cannot execute on their own. They need computers and operating systems.

  24. Re:How many slots does the card take up? on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 1

    3 x sqrt(220) = 380, 3 x sqrt(230) = 400 (those three phases are rotated by 120 degrees, so 400v is voltage between phases )
