Yeah I was doing some reading about this.
The CIA released some documents about their investigation into the Monroe Institute's Gateway Experience and found that they could not reproduce the effects of the hypnotic tones while using vacuum tubes or some such, so that they concluded the hypnotic effects were caused by the electromagnetic waves in the headphones and not the acoustic waves of the recording. Of course, any neurotransmitters in your brain are going to resonate with some specific frequency, so it's no surprise to me if sound waves can effect cognition.

And, Yes I am a lawyer.
Yes GRSecurity is contravening the "u can't put any additional restrictions not mentioned in the text of this license" clause of the GPL; vs both the Linux Kernel and the GCC "plugins" they distribute subject to their(GRSecurity's) "no redistribution" clause (which has been effective: the source has not leaked: GRSecurity has made it's patches to the linux kernel and GCC proprietary)

The GCC "plugins" are non-separable derivative works, just as their linux-kernel patches are non-separable derivative works. They only work regarding the parent work.

Don't believe me: read the real player case then. Go on. Read it. If you even make some 3rd party program that messes with the look of the other program you can be violating the copyright on the other program. Go read the case. There are others but when I tell you people you just say "DURR WHY NOT JUST DISTRIBUTe A DiFF and GeT aRoUnD the GpL thaT wAy"

Why won't RMS sue? Because he has women lawyers surrounding him who don't want to do shit. That's actually their job: to dissuade RMS etc from taking any Copyright action and upsetting the "GPL-as-effectivly-BSD-Licensed" status-quoe that emerged.

The only courageous one was Bruce Perens who fought abit of the good fight.
Note: ANY of these federal copyright lawsuits would cost probably half-a-million or more for the Copyright owner to prosecute.
RMS's foundation doesn't want to do it.
GPL rots in it's grave.

I have no idea about the details, but I do know one thing: the GPL is cancer that needs to go away. If companies are starting to test the waters then let them. If the FSF doesn't want to pursue legal action then let them. Hopefully people will stop taking the GPL seriously. I'll dance on its conceptual grave the day that happens.

And yeah, obviously the FSF has nothing to do with the Linux Foundation.

Me too. Picrel (for both of my replies).

Thing is that Stallman is like oblivious of hardware manufacturers. Raspberry Pi and Audrino are nice hobbies. But then there's non-computers such as synths. Korg's Montron and Monotribe are moddable. Those who mod their own synths are probably the least insufferable people there is. BUT, if you allow for modding that voids the warranty - you will sell more hardware. Basic tools to actually do the modding. And kits to replace it when someone was a huge faggot and ran a soldering iron trough a mainboard.




Prime test Anonymous 22/02/17(Thu)19:25 No. 18131 ID: f85074 [Reply]

Today one of my recurring dream characters named Jennifer Zemblini gave me a prime number test that correctly validated the first few hundred prime numbers in under 3 seconds using C# code I wrote to validate her primality test!

I wanted to share the primality test with you all now.

It uses only simple division, addition and subtraction. And three variables called n, A and B.

n is defined as the number being tested for primeness. A0 is n-2 and B0 is 2.

Then apply this procedure: Divide A by B, if it is not a clean division, meaning there is a remainder, add one to B and subtract one from A, and repeat this step until B approaches one-half of n.

If A can never divide evenly into B then n is prime.

For example with n=9, which is not prime: A = 9-2. B =2. 7/2 is not even. 6/3 does evenly divide with result 2. And 3 is a factor of 9 also.

But for a prime like 13: 11/2... 10/3... 9/4... 8/5... 7/6... None of these divide cleanly with no remainder, therefore 13 is prime.

>quotient is still zero when dividend = n, thus n % m == (n + m * k) % m for any integer k.
This is an error. I meant to say that the remainder is still zero.

I want to clarify that you don't need to sweap across the entire half of the number. If there are no such A and B before B is greater than sqrt(n). There won't be any at all.
And what you did is just a fancy way to do Euclid primality test by checking the first sqrt(n) numbers if any divide n. Since you are checking if B divides A which is none but n-B
Since for all B, B divides itself
So B divides the sum of n-B and B = n
So you're back with the normal primality test, maybe even worse cause you are wasting time computing n-B.
Your Jennifer is retarded.

Your primality test is 100% right and there is no exception to it. The only problem is that it's not only inefficient (it has an asymptotic complexity of O(n)) but it is basically testing the divisibility of n by any number in the range (2,n/2).

Theoretically, how fucked up would I be if someone used a keylogger on my machine for a few month and leaked my bank account details (online password, PIN, security questions etc) on the Darkweb?

Not worried at all but I just wonder how good these computer hackers are at clearing accounts. Aren't there limits depending on the level of your account? They definitely can get around I.P alerts when accounts are accessed in different countries.

Hackers prefer to target businesses for large transactions, because they know few people have $100,000 lying around, while a huge number of businesses have access to that much credit.

Hey guys, I recently started a computer science class in college and my networking teacher who is the head of the IT department wants us to impress him with the best personalization of our desktops.

> inb4 impress him with your computer programming skills as opposed to flashy images

No anons, No. The motto that he always repeats is that it's important to be "all rounded". He's seen lots of autist computer geeks who are geniuses at what they do but are pretty much mediocre/shit at nearly everything else in their life (social skills, organisation of themselves, writing CV's).

I would like to show off images that highlight an interest in tech along with high quality photography; so if I may ask you kindly to post your favorite images

> I would to the other chan but those fags banned me since June of this year and my shitty ISP hasn't renewed my "dynamic" I.P. address for 4 months.

personalization of the desktop doesn't sound like a assignment....

if you want to make it personal, you need to take the picture yourself. There is nothing special about a good quality pic from the web.

Physics as a subject has three areas to master. First theory, second notation, third is application. You got to get all three to pass and understand and they build on eachother. It seems you're having trouble with application. Start solving easy problems and work your way to harder ones.

I think I just realized that it would probably take the same amount of time to circumnavigate the Milky Way galaxy in a space shuttle as the galaxy has been around for.

Also probably about the same amount of time to reach the Andromeda galaxy assuming that it doesn't get to us first.
