@iszi a little less than 2%. the point is when you're building a computer that's about a foot across and does interesting things at least once per nanosecond, 3*10^8 ms^-1 is not a useful figure.
Best ofluck. All good so far here - still finding my way round internal processes, titles, departments, tools etc., but already out at clients doing what I do best - talking over coffee:-)
There is a network of n nodes. There are m clients online at any given moment. That means the network can tolerate about n-m number of spoofed clients that all use MAC addresses that are offline at the moment. m/n is the online ratio of the network.
Is this reasoning correct?
the value tables that @Scott linked to made me feel much more inferior. Especially the one that rated rep gained per 100 chars typed. tl;dr - I have a high rep because I type a lot and some of what I type has some value:-)
This site is actually pretty good in that most folks don't really care about rep - have you seen some of the rants over on SO when someone is downvoted or a question is deleted etc?
@ScottPack 5 users between 5k and 10k at the moment, and another 10 between 3k and 5k. 6 more between 2k and 3k and 13 between 1k and 2k. The community power is growing
I see them as written by people trying to get along in that era, so there was a fair bit of historical violence in the early sections of the bible, but by and large the idea of being generally nice, and un-douche-y is supported.
The answer is right in the table, as well as actual questions. "Knowledge of religion" is a meaningless term - what the questions in aggregate measure is knowledge of details of all the religions put together.
At least 10 questions in the table are about details of assorted non-christian religi...
My community had the unfortunate notion that whenever you met somebody there were two questions one asked: 1) Who is your family?, 2) Where do you go to church?
@RoryAlsop It also depends on which area of the country you're in. The further north and east you go (i.e. New England) the less religious, and the further south you go the more religious.
There also seem to be a large number of folks angry at the police, despite the fact that when the police weigh in too heavily they get shouted at, and that most of the backup police had no riot training at all so were stood there without tactics and generally pretty scared
@ScottPack so that term 'bible belt' does still hold pretty true?
I don't think we have anything like the regional divide in that way in the UK (with the possible exception of the Outer Hebrides - which are extremely religious) - there are areas in each city which are predominantly Muslim, Sikh, Hindu etc., but not exclusively, and there aren't areas more agnostic than others - it's all just mixed up together
some stats on the blog - starting to get some more visits from outside. Total page visits: 381 from sec.SE, 364 from SEI excluding sec.SE, 37 from outside SEI
Did I say - my youngest had her first day at school yesterday. Very exciting. That's them in Primary 1, 5 and 7. The only year they'll all be in the same school, as Hamish moves to secondary schoold next year
@RoryAlsop Are the 37 possibly including bookmarkers or manual URL entries?
@ScottPack I still maintain the Christian beliefs I was raised with, but I understand the "willing to let anyone have their own beliefs" bit. I think there's a tendency toward apathy in the more recent generations as they grow older.
@Iszi Fair enough. I'll rephrase. I think that it should be more about respect, and less about apathy. Though with younger generations both root causes may result in the same action.
@Rory S'good, now just 7000 more reputation points until I get to do anything more interesting... is the blog post for QoTW #6 fine btw? I see it's scheduled, so I assume so!
Anybody feel like looking at a 12 page slide series I put together for presenting to the IT consulting group on Monday? Or does that feel a bit like torture?
@GrahamLee Speak up, I can't understand you when you mumble.
@Ninefingers I have certain strong beliefs about powerpoints that include minimalist amount of crap. Also, slides are bullet-point ideas to be talked about. If the presenter is reading the slides, they should just save the time and email the text.
Unfortunately some people don't share your view... to the point I'm wondering if some of the presentations I've sat through would be considered a cruel and unusual punishment...
"Uh.... if done incorrectly a stored procedure is no more secure then a web server side SQL query and if you can't secure you SQL queries on the web server, what makes you think they can do it properly with a stored procedure?" sigh
Rainbow tables function because multiple systems use the similar schemes for handling data. While it is well-regarded that adding a salt should be a universal feature of password hashing, adding a number of rounds also assists in defeating rainbow tables. To wit: a rainbow table for any subset of...
Looks like D.W. and I are hashing it out. Pun not intended.
@JeffFerland Only people that have been in chat recently can be notified that way. Though mods can use @@D.W. or something like that I think
@JeffFerland I'm having a very hard time figuring out what you're saying in that answer. But D.W. is right that your first line is wrong: "Rainbow tables function because multiple systems use the similar schemes for handling data." Only one system needs to use the scheme, so long as you're interested in several hashes on that sytem.
