Comment Sherlock... (Score 1) 463

...would say "Sorry but this is boring....too easy, too obvious, too undetectiv..." and I personally agree. If the headline doesn't already smell like fish, then the rest of the article makes it a batch of whales stranded in cuba with tobacco pipes in their nostriles. Who knows what debt they wanted to cover up or who is the looser behind all the lost "recordings of transactions"... I feel sad for the families of the first-responders who probably won't receive anything besides a wet, stinking and cold handshake for the valour of their relatives.

Comment Saturdays and coffee. (Score 1) 237

Video Footage just covers the time from timestamp A to B... what happened before A (A-X) and after (B+Y) is not seen. On the other hand, what did those guys want to show? Fear?Moral?Believes? Truth has a way of its own, so destroying some disks will not change the fact that it already made it out once...

Comment "Remember, remember, when was it..." (Score 1) 205

"...the eve of Microsofts november? Where people, state, country and all of human world cried out havoc! God behave, its growing too big! Destroy the cancer show no mercy... as we are just and righteous to judge justice upon thee. Again we shall mount our horses, sharpen our swords and call for the holy crusade!" Sorry its sunday, I couldn't resist. If people notice just now then I doubt it will change a single thing. But hope remains, last of the curses in pandoras box!

Before all else establish a neuronal network, spawning all over the planet and space to give each unit of the collective the ability to communicate with all of its kind and share knowledge gained about technology and all lower species... - Progress : In the process. I thought, being funny in the morning could be nice from time to time.

Comment Know it, use it. (Score 2) 312

I studied geodesy in germany as diploma on a technical university. Standard deviation has its right to exist and to be there and to be used. If this man really means what he says he should not say to abandon standard deviation but to write BOOKS that teach people correctly what it is and how it is calculated on the data which you have. Yes I also meet people (talking of themselves as scientists and researchers) who have no fucking clue how to work with data and standard deviation, but on the other hand I also meet alot who know and also derive the right conclusions, formulars or algorithms out of these. For me this guy sounds like a mad panda who just didn't get it right...

Comment Assurance is good, control ist better. (Score 2) 351

At least that is the theory. But we all know that there is no control for the control... thus we are back to trust. But since its about money and there is no guarantee that a third party can get involved which may force the farm into exploiding the 51% attack it will only solve this issue by not having 51% of the overall computational power. This means, either giving up on at least 1% atm or helping other farms reaching a higher computational share.

Comment Immature... (Score 1) 169

They just think about another idea how to lock and unlock something but they don't think further how this new method can be broken. At the start of this year I saw an anime called 'Psycho', a society in which everyones brainwaves are observed to supress violent behaviour...to put it simple. The solution with which terrorists came up was a helmet that copied the brainwaves of the calmest and most balanced person of the area. That allowed it to run havoc but not get caught by the nearly fully automated police. Now I question, if there is technology that can lock and unlock a car by brainwave detection, how long will it take to create a device with this technology that just copies the brainwaves of the owner of the car and once he/she is gone you come along and drive away with it... Happy Research
