The reason we haven't solved DDoS attacks is because we're working on solving the problem at the wrong level. We're trying to solve the wrong problem. This video explains very clearly how this is the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z

How is the price of a stock market plummeting a "disaster"? For those who own the stock it's of course not advantageous, to those who wish to buy it, it is. I'd like the HFT traders to get into milk and apples. Maybe they can crash the pric

One benefit of multiple exchanges is that company owners can choose to offer trading of shares of the company they own on whichever exchange they think would do their company best. Some people in this thread have expressed that they think a

Governments hand out monopolies with one hand (copyright, patents) and then sue companies for making use of these monopolies with the other hand. What a great waste of time and money!

I've invested some dollars in bitcoins. But nowhere near my life savings. I'm regarding Bitcoin as a high risk investment (it is the very first distributed electronic currency after all) and I'm investing proportional to this assessment (

I've had pretty good experiences with their open source driver running on a HD 3870. No tearing, KMS support, good stability. I don't have a need for much 3D performance, nor do I use OpenCL. I just want something that runs well without cra

This has no impact on their closed drivers. This is patches being released for their open source driver. So it means their open source driver for the 7000 series will stop sucking as hard as it did before ('sucking' meaning that it was non-

I believe you are not looking for an alternative bank; you are looking for an alternative currency. The Federal Reserve gives explicit rights to private banks to not have to worry about whether the US Dollars in their possession are 100%

Impressive technology. But this doesn't really solve the problem of accurately translating from one language to another, with all the ambiguities of language, does it? I mean, as far as I can tell, the really hard part is completely transfe

So if the data is only present in the free space of the disk, sfill (in the secure-delete package in Ubuntu) should remove this data right? Might be a good idea to set up a once-a-week cronjob that does this in any case.

It's definitely possible for two sounds to be indistinguishable when played separately, but when played together it is revealed that they are in fact different (see link below). Whether this applies for sounds with frequencies above 20kHz I
