Not so fast! Pivot and make it for blind kids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBv79LKfMt4

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 c…

The above site has 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 yo…

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 a…

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 eve…

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 f…

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 mod…

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…

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 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 i…

Are people excited and interested about the possibilities of things like autonomic computing/amorphous computing and other non- Von Neumann style systems? There seems to be a lack …

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 p…

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 correc…

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) ->…

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, …

Just go quantum and measure single difracted photons.

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-maintai…

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 d…

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 aroun…
