I'm a bit leery of teleoperated machinery, rather than physical people. Not saying it can't be done, but adds in a few more things that can go wrong. And while outsourcing coding can incur extra delays if something went wrong with the link/

The above site has <meta http-equiv="Objective" content="Hash Exploit"> in as well. Poder is power in Latin as well. Cibernetico might be a latin translation of Cybernetic.... I'm expecting a Latin moto as per usual on these things

So 128 bits? I'd guess they wouldn't use md5 (or any of the md family), which according to wiki leaves haval/ripemd/tiger. I'd go for ripemd-128 (on what the wiki says) although you would expect them to use a NSA blessed algorithm.

Err. Never mind. Found what I was looking for in my inbox, buried. Thanks for the interesting experiment. Edit: I suspect one of the clusters will be people like me who use array access syntax rather than pointer access.

Ah, thanks. Also, eww. It decrements or increments dependent upon a flag. Not nice.

Not much experienced with x86 asm, but you don't seem to be incrementing esi anywhere... What am I missing?

Is there a market for long time scale shorts on EFTs? I know long term oil futures go for 7-8 years generally. I wouldn't place bets except on the time scale of 20-40 years and even then I'm not sure it is worth it in terms of likely pay of

As well as the potential overwriting. File carvers have trouble recovering fragmented files. They might produce corrupted files, or nothing depending upon the details of the file format.

I thought about mapping. Wouldn't you get into trouble if the section of memory still had to be readable during the time it is used by the kernel if you unmapped it? Or can you modify a read-write map to a read-only map? I'm just getting

A lot of computer forensics is hacking commoditized for law enforcement. If there is data you need to analyse that you can't get you need to "hack" it. See for example - http://www.lostpassword.com/hdd-decryption.htm

There are three ways to tackle the human costs of computing. 1) Make the things humans have to do easier. UI/UX 2) Reduce the number of things humans have to do. While all modern hardware can calculate the same things (are universal) they h

Have a browse through the table of contents of the International Journal and you might get the same impression as me. http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/IJUC/IJUC.html Basically it is too unconventional (chemical), faddy and not focussed on

The first thing I would try is a bit hacky but might work. I'd take a copy of the data structures you are analysing when looking for malware and then copy it back to the original place just before you call the normal windows function. It wo

I've just created a google group to discuss implementing this and other game changing techs. Because if you are going to start from scratch with computers again, you want to correct the some other problems we have with current systems (e.g.

Maybe a bunch of the smaller app developers need to get together and form a large umbrella organization (that they are all share holders in) to get the better treatment.

There is nothing stopping you using tagged tuples in haskell. I don't think it is done so much because type signatures are very useful and cross:: (Num b)=>(a,b, b) -> (a, b, b) -> (a, b, b) is more wordy than cross :: (Point p)

Plane navigation is in someways easier to e-commerce sites as well. The environment that the plane is in, isn't actively malicious. You can collect accurate statistics on weather, where as the attacks and usage (with bots/scraping etc) cons

I find lambda calculus needed when you get into some of the subjects that functional programming languages are a gateway to. It definitely helps when trying to read the Coq manual.

I think the problem with building generalized intelligence is that it needs to built on a general platform, like the x86 architecture in flexibility but designed to be self-maintaining and self-upgradeable to the highest degree possible. Th

A leap may come when we can reduce the cost of development by off-loading more of the work on to computers. However that is not just around the corner. And nothing to do with web development.

It is a headline in papers and online news sites. It is not only my attention that it is consuming. And attention is valuable right? There is only a finite amount of it to go around for good causes etc. If everyone was doing their best to h

I can see that on the scale on individuals? But governments? They make a habit of going against what the previous incumbents did or said, just so they look like they are doing something different. As such I don't see how this apology will m

I like Turing and it was appalling what they did to him. But I don't see why people care about an apology to a dead guy? It won't make him any less dead. There is lots of other more important stuff we need to deal with.

The difference between semi-conductors and solar/battery tech is that you are already working at the molecular level with solar panels/batteries and have to change materials to get different results, this is complex as we don't have analyti

I think the average person will find it easier to socialise on two different sites or possibly have two different facebook identities, rather than altering the settings so that they can make sure that relatives can't see pictures of them lo
