Indeed. There's an okay discussion going on at New Scientist, where they talk about how we can liken a human baby to doing the exact same thing - getting what they can (food). So I think we can use a better word than "exploiting" which has

This is gonna sound strange an probably not a discussion for HN, but I found the study interesting... I'm a cat person, but I also like dogs - I just don't have the time or space to give them a good home. So, meanwhile I'll suffice with ca

I'm with the initial commenter's: this is crap. What I find ironic and laughable at the same time is the article doesn't mention usability of the software deployed by the two sites and how that might actually factor in. Assuming it has a r

Oh wow... I can't believe this application is actually five years old! I was crackin up after watching the video on the main page, and then I saw that it says 2004 -- how could I have missed this for five years! This is a great little pro

"..greatest computer science alive." lol Apparently, an unscientific search brings up CSA 464 taken at Miami University (Ohio), course on algorithms of course... but I'm trying to find the professor. I had a professor once that was similar

This is the part I found most inviting about the whole process; the fact that it's covered by life insurance? Wow! And you raise the excellent point of options, what are the better options? Cremated? no thanks... Six feet under? I'd rather

There are some filesystem/full-disk encryption programs that claim they can get around this. Apparently (I've never used it), if one is required to provide the adversary or authorities with the passphrase, they only get so far - into the v

Hmm.. maybe this is what greendestiny was getting at and for that I completely agree, on both accounts.

It may be true that they're trying to define themselves, but if so I'd say it's because they're exploiting an opportunity they've found with regard to so many holes in the investigation. But more importantly, I disagree that this is more su

Indeed.. but if grades were actually changed, I think the IT Director of Security at BC (mentioned in the warrant) would've stated or advised that they were changed. Yet, he only advises and assists the detective with regard to the subject

This warrant almost seems like a disguise for something bigger, something to use to make an example of this kid. There's talk about illegally downloaded content; movies, music, etc. But even copyright is still a touchy subject in the eyes

Yes. Though, allegations are allegations and what weight do they hold, especially in this case? I argue they don't hold much- it looks more like a civil dispute between two former friends. Plus, keep in mind, 10% is more than enough reaso

I find this amazing... I've been interested in Stonehenge for as far back as I can remember but I'm no expert on the subject- I'm just in awe of it. What I find interesting about this video is the claim that he "is not a scientist" - I beg

You could definitely be correct. But the article isn't that old, unless they got bought in the last thirty or so days. Quoting the article this time shows an interesting choice of words: "But corporate parent eBay, having had to write dow

How are you sure? It's not a U.S. based company- it doesn't appear NSA would have any holding over it. "The company won't disclose details of its encryption, either, and isn't required to as it is Europe based." Hence, their alleged offeri

We celebrated last night with a simple dinner out; we figured better to do so a day before, and beat the rush. Otherwise, I share the same sentiment(and so does my SO), that Valentine's Day has no purpose, other than a commercial purpose.

This is fantastic... one central source for all that Wikipedia has to offer with relation to this subject... I always used to look up algorithms individually, without the knowledge of this central list. Thank you!

Swordfish; if nothing for the totally cool monitor setup he had at Gabriel's place. Alien; the original- the next couple of movies in the series were okay but the first I think is a classic in form of technology and all that good stuff. If
