Do you think science be put through a political lens before it's published or talked about?
Quite the opposite, but I wish (ha, and a pony) that those with a political agenda would not misrepresent science as being in anyone's 'interest' or misquoting scientific papers to show one thing when the full results show something completely different.
From that PDF:
This study showed that only about one percent of net primary productivity and 16 percent of eroded carbon contribute to carbon sequestration in eroding watersheds. Combining these results with global estimates from previous studies, the erosion-induced terrestrial carbon sink can potentially offset as much as 10 percent of the global fossil-fuel emissions of carbon dioxide in 2005.
So that PDF which tries to convince us that releasing carbon is a non-issue due to soil erosion cannot account for the other 90% of the carbon in the atmosphere? And it does not even mention the other ill aspects of soil erosion.
No, soil erosion can only 'correct' 10% of the 2005 level of the problem. Hint: world carbon emissions have _increased_ since 2005, and then there is the other 90% of the problem to deal with.
Just because you see a shared memory segment used by apache doesn't mean that you're infected. Apache sometimes legitimately uses shared memory segments. See, for example: http://blog.nominet.org.uk/tech/2008/03/26/apache-shared-memory/
Thank you. That is an interesting use case, one that I had never encountered. Obviously, if Apache has been configured to share memory across processes then seeing it do so is not clear sign of infection. However, if Apache has not been explicitly configured to do so, then seeing Apache sharing memory with another process is a real red flag.
Your linked blog is great, there are quite a few gems in there. Thanks!
Why isn't there a list of infected sites? Avoiding them would seem to be a priority.
Here is how to make sure you are not one of the infected sites: Compile and run this:

If you don't want to vet that, you can get a first-aproximation with "ipcs", just look for the Apache PID, which you can get from "ps aux | grep apache2".
Yes, you are correct. Reviewing the chronology of the big bang on Wikipedia, I see that I had all kinds of mistakes in the order for which events happened. Thank you for correcting me!
I'm not buying that one. The materials would be super-dense, super-hot, moving at almost the speed of light, and moving in different directions. I don't think sound would have much meaning here which could be correlated with what we sense as sound.
We correlate the propagation of disturbances in the fluid medium which immerses us as "sound". Do you not think that disturbances propagated in the fluid medium that existed moments after the big bang?

In space, no one can hear you scream. Maybe.
The tricky part of this scenario is getting the rock enough kinetic energy to boost it from Mercury's orbit out to Earth. I'd guess a slingshot around the sun was probably needed.
How does something slingshot around the sun? I am aware of planetary slingshots, but they depend upon the planet's orbital speed around the sun. I could see how the sun will change the direction of the object, but not how it could impart more kinetic energy to the object.
Microsoft has already invented this (sort of), no-one really used it because it was slow, buggy, and made your entire computer run like shit.
What was it called? I'm not finding anything from casual googling.
And don't forget to put your source of white noise between you and the wall through which the most noise comes into the room. Probably the doorway, but maybe not.
A question, then: is it possible for a famous person to openly state a viewpoint without "using their own popularity" to further said viewpoint?
Ender managed to do just that in Speaker for the Dead.
" If marriage is such an important religious institution"
Excuse me but religion has hijacked marriage as its own, far as I can tell marriage existed way before Christianity.

I'd bet my left nut "a well-known provider of tools for the Systems Administration community" is Atlassian, and they claim there's no issue.
Would you really risk loosing your left nut to know that? Worse, if you are right, would you really want two left nuts?
He built a 'sleeper'. Imagine the show-off in the Boss 302, Mach 1, or even Camaro SS, who get his doors blown off by a Pinto.
Then they become 'responsible' for the content served, including malware-infested ads. So long as that responsibility is enforcible, i.e. I can sue a site for sending me malware, then I see this as a good thing.
For that matter, why haven't the large ad networks been sued for 'hacking' i.e. serving malware?
To do nothing is to be nothing.
