I also always thought of religion as a "means to an answer." What I mean is, inherent to human nature is the desire to KNOW everything. The unknown is scary! Religion gives people answers immediately. Science just gives people more questions.
Honestly, I'm personally OK with saying "I don't know" as my answer to most of life's questions, but for a lot of people, they simply require an answer!
Isn't the only way you can accurately predict the future is to know the location, velocity and acceleration of every single particle in the universe? Isn't it also a fact at this point that the more precise you measure location, relatively the less accurate you can measure velocity as a result (and vice-versa?) PLUS, isn't the fact you are writing a computer application to predict something imply a pattern? The article has a sub-headline: "Actions Sometimes Defy Logic." Ummmm, then how the heck is a COMPUTER going to figure it out. It can't even read a captcha, or generate a "random number" without a logical external seed (like a time variable,) let alone work illogically...
Nah, it's just "Super" is showing its age. 10 years ago, anything with the processing power of 8 PS3's WOULD have been freaking SUPER. Now, it's just...super... 100 PS3's would be MEGA, 1000 would be ULTRA MEGA and 10,000 is just overkill.
No need to be an asshat, I stated a fact. I backed it up with 2 articles. In fact, your statement was completely unrelated and irrelevant... So far, you've posted 6 times on the same article without any sources or real material. Come back when you have something interesting or useful to say.
While Charlemagne, an illiterate barbarian was converting the masses to Christianity (and brutally, I might add,) Middle Eastern doctors were actually successfully performing neurosurgery. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents...at least I learned something for the student loans I still owe!
Actually, I can be more concise: it's a way of LOOKING at your application (or creation, period) and trying to discern all potential ways of attacking it. It's not necessarily a list of bugs, but a list of potential ways to find or exploit the "bugs" in the system. --beckerist
Basically, in a nutshell, a "threat model" is a designers / programmers way of saying "all potential flaws in our application." An example: a 1 meter hole in the side of the Death Star. Just thought I'd pass that along as I learned it...eh...3 minutes ago.
Because in the US, we prioritize sports, history and "english" before math and science. Check the "regents" requirements (I don't have a link because I just lived through it:) Math: 2 years Science: 2 years History: 4 years English: 4 years PE: 2 years (4 years, half time) Art / Foreign Language / Music: 4 years.
Don't get me wrong, we're a country full of obese, non-creative people...but THAT'S why. We don't stress it's importance, EVER.
Why? We have every right to assembly, and if we're abiding by the law we should have nothing to worry about. Personally, I don't mind cameras in public places. At least if I'm mugged, I know there might be some evidence.
It's not like I do illegal things in public! O:) (excluding the occasional traffic violation, of course)

So wait, does that mean that Mark Hamill is still out of a job?

Ask me again in 10 years
I second that notion.
Microsoft? Broken?

ok folks, lesson 101 on karma whoring on
Windows NT is archityped? architectured? ... how about "was built?"
Isn't this a South Park reference? The episode where the PETA people are mating with animals?
PLUS, they both require Vista for full functionality....ahem...NO THANKS, XP works just fine for me!

Both hybrids, Samsung AND Seagate were not only more expensive, they were considerably slower in tests vs. a traditional harddrive. I understand the drive to be green, but I think I'm going to wait a few years before jumping on this bandwagon!

As a caveman script kiddie, I take offense to that statement!
most ironic link ever (in response to your comment)
oh...so THAT'S where that damned BOWFLEX came from!
3 blinking red LED's? :-) za-zing!

But regardless, he'd be dead...right? Can I say that? Shit, I'm going to get sued aren't I...
