Re: "photons may lack mass"
Jake post coming from another universe (as usual)!
In this universe:
> The quantae of the electromagnetic field have zero rest mass (I hear they are actually superpositions of weak and electromagnetic bosons, so this is a bit more complex than expected)
> The energy content of said field will manifest as gravitational mass in the usual Einstein field equations

Re: As Donald Knuth says
But this one is not premature so the saying doesn't apply.
It seems to be a missing enum value, rather
When going to the network:
> CHECKSUM_UNDEFINED_AS_YET
> CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY_BUT_CAN_BE_DONE
> CHECKSUM_TO_BE_DONE_BY_HARDWARE
> CHECKSUM_ALREADY_DONE_BY_SOFTWARE
When coming from the network:
> CHECKSUM_UNVERIFIED_AS_YET
> CHECKSUM_VERIFIED_BY_HARDWARE_AND_PASSED
> CHECKSUM_VERIFIED_BY_HARDWARE_AND_FAILED
> CHECKSUM_VERIFIED_BY_SOFTWARE_AND_PASSED
> CHECKSUM_VERIFIED_BY_SOFTWARE_AND_FAILED
Probably not possible to implement these because of reasons, but still.

Re: Yes, It's Exciting And All That
For a space elevator, you sure need a stonking big media business. Would playing world porn king for 200 years bring in enough cash?
(Btw, do space elevators do need boosts whenever they lift something or is the angular momentum directly coming from the rotating Earth?)

Re: That is what laws and courts do.
I still don't understand what "freedom" has to do with it.
I think people are starting to mightily confuse things, disingeniously (Apple and its iPhans) or not (appreciators of freedom from the Omnipotent Government and opponents to unreasonable searches and seizures)
It is an open court decision, not a secret agency backdooring action, or plausibly deniable executive order from White House. It isn't even an UK-style "order to self-incriminate", forcing one to hand out encryption keys.
One can even appeal.
You know, in the olden days, court orders may be issued and mystery boxes might appear on the Main Distribution Frames in the phone company building. That had nothing to do with chilling effects, enabling Russia or China (evil bugbears) or involving constitutional problems. Yes, there are abuses. Thus, vigilance.
We have seen some utter crap in the last 20 years and many people now in powerful places or on Sunday morning TV should be hanged till dead for that crap, but this isn't in that set.
And how exactly do you, under the US Constitution, force programmers to write software
Am I in an Orlowski article? What does the US Constitution and forced programming have to do with it? Here's your answer:
1) Hire programmer
2) Transfer $$$ (duly taxed)
3) ???
4) Program written!

How junior do you need to be....?
I can't imagine the kind of internal management structure that could give rise to such shit.
Actually, I can, but it's for 6-people startups of pimply-faced nerds plus a freshly-baked CEO with delusions of adequacy.
How can I trust any certchain with "COMODO" certs near the root?
Well, at least you get a "free trust logo" with your horribly expensive SSL cert.
Easter Islanders didn't commit 'ecocide' after all, says archaeologist
Friday 19th February 2016 22:48 GMT
Re: Define collapse
I guess it's a terrible collapse when you are IN the terrible collapse. Otherwise it's just "one of those things". Contemporary events in the "Middle East" come to mind.
Also, the Island didn't recover. It will take a bit longer for that to happen. That's the main takeaway point.
Friday 19th February 2016 22:47 GMT 
Reeeehhh?
I'm sure I saw an article pretty much exactly like this shortly after the US proceeded to do the Forever War On Stuff, on this here very hallowed pages of El Reg. Probably when Jared's book came out?
Slow rant day?
Anyway, either because you behave like a drunken sailor or because nature pulls a trick on you, society collapses, soil is gone, point of no return reached, you are dead, it's over. Whether one later wants to shoehorn green memes or anti-green-memes into this fact is rather tedious. The fact that it is even possible to fuck up that bad willingly w/o combustion engines to help along should be food for thought enough.

Permutation Datacentre: Very Virtual Servers on Other People's Hardware
As ever, the problem isn't the technology: it's the wetware in front of the keyboard that causes the problems.
The problem is still the technology. This is the first attempt ever in history to do anything like this and there will be surprises. Especially as the infrastructure code has lots of really bad design decisions and random cruft stemming from the idea of "a machine on every desktop" approach (especially in the case of Microsoft). Unecessary complexity, code written with an "it's okay, ship it" approach (especially in the case of Microsoft) and the fact that the backup is not physically in a vault in your cellar will cause some sleepless nights.
Five Eyes nations must purge terrorists from the web, says Theresa May

Re: Five Eyes nations must purge terrorists from the web, says Theresa May
First time I've heard of Five Eyes. Have I not been paying attention or did they just invent it?
Indeed. We just need two additional eyes and we have the Beast being ridden by That Lady of Babylon. It's biblical.
The "five (iery) eyes" are I guess: US, UK and C&A, as well NZ and AUS
Boffins' 5D laser-based storage tech could keep terabytes forever
Wednesday 17th February 2016 16:35 GMT
Re: Seriously long-term storage
Liste, dude.
Self-describing formats are no mystery any longer.
Concepts of language don't change that much - pace all the linguistic's oohing and aaahing it's just activations in slightly incompatible semantic networks.
Just add a proper primer and get on with it.
Actually, you could add a dump of Watson (or whatever comes next) to it while you are at it and indicate how to run it (add machine schematics for implementation) to help the future reader along.
