In most of your examples, the answer is no because of economies of scale; hardware fabrication only makes sense because of economies of scale (and to a lesser extent pipe or packaging production - although you could ask the same question ab

I actually see the Google-backed web technologies as a net negative. The general pattern is that 1) the community starts to develop good tools that work well in all browsers 2) Google comes along with a technologically inferior solution tha

If you can sneak a key into keyrings/live/pubring.gpg, and wait until someone runs blackbox_update_all_files without noticing, you then have access to all files. Perhaps it should keep a signed copy of the last version of pubring

I think the order is particularly unfair to no-ip - it was made ex parte on Microsoft's application (i.e. without no-ip being informed or having a chance to respond). The complaint claims that no-ip could have implemented Response Poli

As long as the detectors don't directly detect cheating, but instead improvement at a rate that is too high (like in the article), then if you limit your rate of improvement to a rate and distribution similar to human improvement, it i

To paraphrase the article, Ken Regan thinks that someone's chess skill improving too fast is conclusive proof that they are cheating. I'm not sure this is really a true analogy to the examples of catching users of performance enha

It looks like it uses one row per step. Excel supports finite rows, and hence this does not prove that Excel is Turing complete. A program like while(true); will eventually run out of rows and terminate.

I think the problem here is they were trying to solve two different problems, but were trying solutions that solve only one or the other at a time, and then complaining it made the other worse: 1. It should not be possible to draw a rec

Defense in depth is a good thing, and this adds another layer. If an attacker has to exploit the browser to get access as an unprivileged user, then find a local exploit to get root on the VM, then circumvent SELinux on the VM, then load a

Scala is a powerful language - it has lots of ways to make really nice embedded DSLs, but you can also write obfuscated code that doesn't behave intuitively in it (as with many languages). To explain the behaviour of some of the non-in

The Mozilla Foundation (and Corporation) are in a difficult position here, because they are being blamed for someone else doing something unethical, but it would also be unethical for them to do (or have done) anything differently in respon

Also, it might even make counterfeit coin production cheaper if it replaces rather than supplements current detection methods - maybe a counterfeiter can make a plastic or wooden coin of roughly the right shape and paint it with a paint con

If it works how I understand it does, getting the right combination of substances is probably just a matter of solving a linear programming problem. As I understand the explanations, the basic measurement is obtained by illuminating the coi

Either way you don't get repeated UTC timestamps. A negative leap seconds means you go from 23:59:58 to 00:00:00 without passing 23:59:59, and a positive one means you go from 23:59:59 to 23:59:60 to 00:00:00.

The local port for outgoing TCP connections is chosen randomly in the normal case - and you can't have two TCP connections between the same pair of ports and hosts, so it would be hard to write a good proxy server that let you pick the

It looks like some of them are only the way the word was used in that particular part of speech. For example, orbit is listed as 1946 as a verb - but the word was used for much longer as a noun.
