It would be an interesting day if someone could make regular expression searches over a large data set as fast as keyword or phrase searches against a sorted and indexed database. They also need to make sure they use an implementation that

I think the problem with that assumption is that non-hackers can visit this site and vote for articles that are only interesting to the general public and otherwise off-topic for this site. It doesn't take many votes to get on the front pa

What if those downloads were by people who already paid to see the movie in theaters and downloaded it later to watch it again? If they waited for the DVD or Blueray to be released they could watch it an unlimited number of times after payi

You can create multiple links with the original names at once with commands like: ln -s path1/files* path2/ or ln -s path1/* . Doing that helped me remember the order because I knew my command could end with a directory as the

Does it feel like google is moving further away from this with time? It's common that I get search results that don't contain the keywords I searched for. The results will also contain the keywords but in different parts of the page, so sh

There are already 802.11 drones with video and cell phones that can act as a wireless hot spot. Combine the two and I don't think latency would be bad enough to prevent you from flying it remotely. I would be more concerned with battery li

It looks like 2000 of those bunkers were sold back in 2002 for $25,000 each. http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/11/230203 Here's a map with links to pictures of 5 of the nuclear hardened sites. http://coldwar-c4i.net/ATT_P

Research may not hurt. Trial and error does if the error affects the users. If something bad is happening in the world, like thousands of people being murdered in some remote country, and every page that links to articles about it has a ne

Aparently this isn't the only $999.99 app out there. There's an app called iVIP for the same price that helps millionaires in the UK find exclusive services. There's also an $899.99 app for remotely monitoring security cameras called iRa p

Two thoughts. Would this be a nuisance to utility workers who have to access lights or wires on city poles? This inspires an idea for a similar product. The bike could have an RC-operated hook and winch. The owner can toss the hook onto a

That's still my second concern and also has to be satisfied before I would buy it. But if I can get around town on a $100 bike and the anti-theft device costs $300, I'll stick with a more affordable lock and buy a new bike occasionally.

It's probably easier to climb the pole if there's a lower bike on the pole that you can grab on your way up. I wonder how much weight the device can support? If you threw a weighted rope around a suspended bike and pulled on it, will you b

Vandalism is just as common as theft in the Washington DC area. Usually if they can't break your lock, they break your bike instead. DC has replaced some bike racks with bike lockers that totally enclose the bike. The downside is the lock

My first concern with any new anti-theft solution for bikes is "does it cost more than my bike?". If someone fails to steal my bike but can still vandalise the bike and the lock, I'm out twice as much money. I've had multiple bikes stolen

You're not comparing bananas to bananas. As I understand, the limited information that has been publicly released about the backscatter machines is a useless measurement when you take into account how they actually work. You can't apply a

That's not why they're wrong I would argue that it's one of many reasons they are wrong. I'm equally as concerned about the privacy and civil rights violations. But it's still a problem that the machines pose a physical risk to passenger
