This idea that you can't hide in space betrays a lack of imagination. As a rule, ships will operate near objects such as planets, asteroids or nebulae. These objects provide plenty of opportunity for cover and ambushes. There is also the possibility of minefields and other unmanned devices that can easily be shielded from detection. And those are just the things we can realistically grasp with our current technological understanding.

The other point that a rogue ship can wage war against an entire planet is correct, but it's also misleading because the assumption only works if the planet has no defense systems appropriate to the threat. The other argument that ships will be highly regulated because they're dangerous, powerful, and profitable is probably correct but at the same time it's important to remember that being outlawed per se doesn't stop anything. We should know better, because we tried this with drugs, terrorism and copyright violations - all of which are still going on despite the massive amount of resources employed to eradicate them.
You've just summed up why it'll never go anywhere apart from acquisition: $4.99/year/user is not enough to run any sort of business.

Yes, and it also uses a weak hash function by design (for performance reasons it only looks at a few characters not the whole string.)
Given Hollings's legislative track record I'm inclined to believe you but do you have a source for that accusation?
I'm not sure that's true.

Without the names, "being on the lookout" means that you have to look at everyone and think about whether or not they're using similar tactics (i.e. "they could be anyone"). With the names, the first step of "being on the lookout" is checking the known-bad list, which could make you less vigilant with everyone else (i,e. "at least I know this person isn't one of them"). That It would be an irrational mistake to make, but I suspect it would also be a common one.

This is quite surprising to me, this problem was solved long ago in Perl: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlsec.html#Algorithmic-Complexity-...
One of the core principles of JavaScript is to avoid errors whenever possible. Using + on arrays bothers me less than the fact that there is no error for division by zero.
It isn't very good at disabling a screenshot, though. Disabling right-click, in Flash or Javascript, even if the URLs aren't visible (which they are), is trivially circumvented with a screenshot.
This is a pretty old attack class. A great starting point for it is Crosby/Wallach from 2003:

Lua's string hash function looks roughly like this:

hash = length of string
for each char c in string
hash = hash ^ ((hash << 5) + (h >> 2) + (unsigned char) c)

It folds up to 32 chars into the hash. If the string is longer, it skips some characters.

This is a well known hash function and it's very different from the one being used by all the other vulnerable languages, but I don't know how hard it is to find collisions for this one.
This is completely untrue, I get the feeling you haven't worked a place that has many H1B employees. All I can say is it has been quite obvious that some H1B employees were not quite as sharp as their American counterparts at some places I have worked (not saying all H1B workers, but some). Sure, some are good, but they are not all hired because they have a better skillset and are better overall than their American counterparts, this is rather ridiculous.

If you opened mail from my physical mailbox, you'd have committed the federal crime of mail tampering, which faces a fine and/or jail time. If you opened 3.3 million letters from my mail box, you'd probably be the first person to live the remainder of their life in jail for mail tampering... regardless of your age.

Right, yes, it's illegal, but that's more an accident of legislature than anything else. Don't pretend that that gives it moral explanatory power one way or the other.

If I fail to lock my door, it's still immoral to enter my property and steal everything. Just as it's immoral to enter my unlockable mailbox and steal my mail.

I agree that theft resulting in exclusion of your access to your resources is very much unethical--copying mail does not result in this exclusion of access.

If you don't find it immoral for someone else to read your mail then honestly you should have no qualms with posting the entire contents of all your email addresses online for us to scrutinize as well.

I don't have to find it immoral; giving away that information freely is an act of charity I do not believe myself morally obligated to perform. Were you to come across it otherwise, I'd be a bit annoyed (as I would have to update various authentication mechanisms), but I wouldn't believe I ought to jail you or fine you or the like.

I make a bet, everyday, that the relative security of my systems is adequate for my needs. Some days I'm right, some days I'm wrong, and I bear no ill will for somebody that authenticates as me to that system--clearly, the error was in the system's scope and construction.

My problem with this world is people like you, who will be the first to scream fucking murder when some trivial wrong happens to you but you claim everyone else has no moral claim for not doing everything you deem appropriate. Get off your fucking high horse and learn the god damn definition of morals because at least knowing the definition might help you find a set.

I'm giving myself a 99% chance of being down voted, but put your money where your mouth is. I want to see your goddamn emails.

You know, if I could do so without giving away authentication credentials for other things, I would. That said, the cost-benefit isn't there. As I pointed out above, I don't have any moral obligation to provide you with information--if you gather on your own, hell, that's your business. As long as only copying has occurred, what does it matter?
The lack of upgrades is not necessarily a problem for most people. This is why there has been little commercial interest in providing a constant stream of upgrades.

C#/.NET is also not mentioned. Clearly I'm out of touch, I hadn't realized that Rubinius and JRuby were more popular than C# and VB.NET. Anyone have any idea if/how .NET might be impacted by this?
1. It doesn't seem to remember whether I have seen something before. I have over a hundred items per day in my feeds and I read them erratically, so I don't want to have to remember myself.

2. It would be nice to have a more integrated sharing feature. An ideal method for my group of computational science friends (since migrating off Google Reader and being dissatisfied with long threads on G+) would be linking into a (possibly private) reddit. It would be nice to at least see if the item has been shared yet.
I think so, but even if it is, this is not a WPA vulnerability. Relating it to WPA is equivalent to claiming SSH is insecure because someone looked over your shoulder and saw what you did. It's a side-channel attack that gives you the WPA key because WPS literally hands it to you once you guess its (short) password.

Pubmed has a lot of abstracts pertaining to metabolic rate:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18198305
"Body weight is defended in non-obese participants during modest caloric restriction, evidenced by metabolic adaptation of RMR and reduced energy expenditure through physical activity."
There are plenty of other studies that support CR as a factor in lowered RMR. I read one (can't remember where) that used non-obese women. IIRC, the women on 300kcal deficits had no change in metabolic rate, while those on 500 did.

That's a false trichotomy. It's perfectly possible for it to be all three of these, and I'd say this is a fitting example of that.
Why send humans at all? By that time I'd assume we'd have reasonable AI; just send it along with a bunch of frozen embryos anywhere you please. The AI can incubate and raise the children. It could even terraform the planet until it was habitable. You wouldn't even need to explore; just send out probes willy-nilly. If they never reach a suitable location, then it's no big loss.

A fire-and-forget method of human space colonization is not only far more feasible, but also far more economical.

My reimbursement processed in 6 business days, with 100% of receipts approved on a $xx,000 request.. Forming receipts together took a few hours but they've improved significantly since the OP's days.

Perhaps its best to discuss the present or future rather than complaining about the past? They're like any start up - evolving quickly.
The whole "but nothing was destroyed" argument is a whole other argument, but equally as weak. The fact that exclusive access information has value has been long established, and there are numerous precedents in the physical world showing it. The best example is someone breaking into a commercial office, gaining access to private commercial documents which they can use in negotiations. Clearly harm has been done, as it has in this case.

So, lost profits due to being in a worse bargaining position is hardly a "harm". The company in question can either go through the negotiations in a weaker position, or they can walk away from the table. This is a case of better matching the (true) price of sale for the seller and consumer.

Ignorance is what allows large profits to be made, and as far as I recall unrealized profits shouldn't be claimed as harms.
To fix it at the framework level, assuming the language gives me access to the hash values, I would probably keep a second table mapping hashes to keys. Then I can tell the difference between collisions and dupes. Just kill the request once there are more than a few collisions.
Yes, the government is not above the law. If they are going to do things that are incriminating obviously we can't go through the normal channels to find out as they will cover their asses to no end. This sort of thing is literally one of the only ways to give the assholes in charge who abuse their power what they deserve.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news to the interwebs, but this probably won't go anywhere.

Facebook and Twitter are public outlets, and if you aren't monitoring your privacy on them it's your own fault. If you make friends with random folks on Twitter or Facebook, that person very well might work for DHS - but you didn't have to be friends with them. And if you're running a completely unfiltered account, there's nothing that they couldn't find by using the Twitter Search API anyway.

While the specifics of the program are not declared, they did publicly announce that the program was going on and gave some generalities. Anything further would be basically asking them to reveal either their analysis or their methods...which won't happen and is likely already shielded from FOIA.

Its all subjective. To some, such as myself, I don't give a shit if it cost our government to "lose face" and possibly have to back out of war, etc. I personally feel that are government is up to no good in a number of ways and that those in charge need to be taken down a few notches. The U.S. isn't some mindless borg, we all have different beliefs and feelings on what is right and wrong so saying something caused our government harm is really just saying it caused the people in charge harm, its up to the rest of the citizens to decide if it really caused them any harm.

I disagree. The start/end date concept facilitates working together with others in a study group setting. Everyone is at the same part of the class, and you can benefit from learning together. Finding a real-world study group for material with no start/end date is significantly more difficult. One of the best ways to learn is to work through material with others in a group.

> The worst a pirate captain could do with a single ship in the 1700s was to sink a few merchant ships.

It wasn't that they sank the ships. Stede Bonnet is noted for capturing around 30 ships in under 2 years, noted in that there's a record of the ships he plundered. The money he took from this went to the ports he traded in.

> The worst a pirate captain could do with a spaceship is to destroy an entire continent.

Depending on the size of the vessel, it's a possibility, but not likely. It's going to be easy to tell if someone's approaching you at ridiculous speed. Also, this means anything you hit them with hits harder. When you're driving at a bullet at the speed of sound, it's definitely going to hurt a lot more. You're not only making yourself more obvious, but more vulnerable.

> In the 1700s, a pirate captain could hide his ship from government navies, and take merchant ships by surprise.

How? Is there some magic cloaking device that prevails the Caribbean ocean? Sorry, but the Navy can't stop drug smugglers by boat today with satellites, radar and whatever else.

They knew where they were going. Do you not think the Spanish knew that Henry Morgan was headed for Tortuga? He didn't have to hide from the British or the French, in fact he ended up an Admiral of the Royal Navy.

They took the merchants by surprise, because the merchants didn't know they were pirates, they thought they were just crossing paths with another merchant ship. Stede Bonnet captured three ships by pretending to trade with merchant ships (notable for their short crews) and rushed them with his 130 men.

> The location of a spaceship is public knowledge; it cannot take anyone by surprise, and the authorities know exactly where it is.

Again, yes and no. Just because you can see everything, doesn't mean you can watch everything. You're assuming one universal government and data sharing between governments or agencies.

Sorry, but it's eventually going to be in one nations best interest to economically harm the other and harbour privateers.

> There's a considerable incentive for any planet-side government to make sure pirate spaceships don't exist, and there's nowhere the pirate can hide.

Earth based governments, maybe. Do you think the colonies are going to turn down building materials for 1/2 the cost? Or protection for harbouring pirates? Anything that increases government revenues will be protected.

Governments will harbour pirates because they have before. The French made piracy rampant by issuing letters of marque simply to damage everyone elses economic ability.

Governments war over limited resources, but they sabotage when there's plentiful resources.

Dupes aren't the problem, it's duplicate hashes of different data. Dupes should just override the previous value, which matches other hashtable behavior, and works in O(1). Some frameworks may add them to an array, but that's likely to be a real array, or a double-ended queue, or something easier to append to than a plain linked list like hashtables use (because they don't need anything else - to append, they need to check equality on every entry in the list, so they must traverse the whole thing every time, causing the O(n^2) time).

Often, code reuse leads to less bugs and less duplicated effort which leads to more time spent on important things like features and usability.

Except that, I don't disagree with anything else you said.

Fogbugz has their own custom compiler that generates code for the platform of their choice. Facebook has already written their own PHP->C++ compiler. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some team there working on some high-level infrastructure that lets them write UIs and code that gets compiled down to custom Objective-C/html+javascript/AndroidJava/etc...
> Flash does absolutely nothing to prevent someone from saving copies of images.

This is only true if Flash is loading external jpegs. If they're embedded in a swf, you would have to go through a great deal more trouble to extract image files. But a right-click 'Save image as' is about all the trouble that most people are willing to go through, and as such, I'd guess that Flash is an effective deterrent much of the time.

I know a few photographers and illustrators, and based on what I hear from them, there is a shockingly pervasive attitude that any image on the web can be appropriated for any reason whatsoever. Even corporate types who should know better think nothing of grabbing images from portfolio sites (or flickr) to use in marketing campaigns, etc. I think it's wise for photographers to do what they can to protect their business and their work.

Also, consider the audience. Often portfolio sites exist solely to impress art directors at ad agencies, who (in my experience) aren't as hostile to flash as, say, developers at startups. And clumsy animated or skeuomorphic interfaces are often totally acceptable in that world. Many of them are still building flash 'microsites', after all. Real sales and commerce are taking place elsewhere (corbis, veer, getty images, et al).
