Absolutely. Actually, I can't wait. Read some of the articles and books on how complication and death rates fall dramatically when doctors have to use checklists, and you can't help but wish for robotic like consistency in how medical care is delivered.

But you have to be inside the network to do a brute force attack? Which means you have already compromised the network?

I donate every year around this time. For me Wikipedia is among the top ten reasons the Internet is worthwhile.

Stupid question, but don't the hackers need to somehow acquire a copy of the master password file from the computer they are attacking in order to do a brute force attempt to decrypt the passwords? And don't they need like an admin password to get a copy of that password file in the first place? And if they have an

If the worm makes relatively minor changes to financial databases, rather than deleting them, then it could become a real nightmare to untangle even if the bank has good backups.

We have millions of people out of work, so I think it should be possible to put some person hours into this project without taking away from anything else.

I think I need to go file a patent.

And then the Chinese will use drones and/or satellites to see if any of its subs are being followed by a US trimaran drone, and if they spot a trimaran drone they will have their own drone ship trail our drone ship and blare Chinese pop songs with underwater speakers to make it impossible to track any subs.

I was reading this and thinking it sounded awfully familiar. It is pretty much the same as what they were saying about the X-30 "Orient Express" project back in the mid-80s when I was just out of college.

Based on my experience with doctors, I would gladly take 95% odds of being pleased with the experience.

For me using reviews to help select a product or vendor has nothing to do with trust. It's just plain old probability. If 95% had a positive experience, then the odds are I will too. If only 50% felt good about the experience, then there is a decent chance I may be disappointed. If many people say the doctor kept them

Really, where is Racoon Lady? I noticed last time they used her they put a black bar over her eyes.

iCab Mobile, Reeder, Netflix, NY Times, New Yorker, Starmap HD, GoSkyWatch, RadMap (weather radar), Gaia GPS (offline maps, including topo maps), Rowmote Pro, Remote, Simplenote, Huffington Post, GasBuddy, Observatory. For me the iPad serves as a bunch of different gadgets that just happen to have the same form factor.

Look at the wikipedia article for "Common Descent"

Here are the things I think about when I am tempted to assume there just has to be other life in the universe:

What happens when the person in front of you suddenly reclines their seat?

Back in the 90s someone I knew who knew people who worked on Hubble characterized Hubble as more or less a knock-off of a NRO spy satellite.

I dunno, I think I am a little more concerned about the police getting people's locations etc, without a warrant, from the cell phone companies, as detailed in the NY Times on March 31. Honestly, why would the authorities bother to use a drone to track you when they can just have the cell company zip over a detailed

The orthodox want to preserve their culture. Banning the internet from the home seems entirely appropriate for that goal. The world doesn't have to be a uniform mass of modern consumers. It's okay for different subcultures to exist.
