Re:You read one?
It's not a man-in-the-middle attack if you trick someone to entering their information into the wrong site.
I knew what he meant, and I'd call it a man-in-the-middle attack too. It's not a technical MITM attack, but a social one. There's the client, the website, and a man-in-the-middle recording the conversation. As was pointed out in this news story, one way to stop this type of attack is to require SSL client authentication.

Some more links...
There are a lot of options at this store, and here's another store with a bunch of choices.

more Pentium M less P4s-A power chain.
SBCs are for more than just harsh environments (you're thinking industrial). If you look through all the above links. You'll see that P2P style, appliance computing is were we are headed. Instead of getting a monster rig, that does it all. You'll have a main (lower power) computer that does things that can't be split into individual boxes. While that box is surrounded by more specialized machines, all cooperating. Finer grained computing, were you get only what you need, and it's transparently easy to add to, and manage.
The complexity of the PC has sealed it's fate.

I'd love to build a new PC...P2P computers.
Well this gentlemen sees things being distributed and I do too. People are going to get away from the monster machine that eats electricity, and blows heat like a hair dryer. Cooperation is the future trend, bringing overall cost down, and having a closer fit to what your needs are.
BTW I recommend reading the entire site. -
Re:Next comes the Smarter Bullet
And just how long before someone creates a smart bullet to home in on the EM emissions of this helmet
Anti-radiation missiles are actually pretty expensive, and if they could make them sensitive enough to home in on such low levels of EM-radiation then they would already be using them as anti-tank weapons.
Even when transmiting military radio communications gear is already very stealthy. It uses packets sent on varying frequencies, so there is no constant signal to lock on to. -
Network Cameras in general
There are actually quite a few network cameras available if you don't need a high-speed camera. Most have a built-in webserver, and several run a version of embedded linux. My personal favorite (and Ed's) is the Panasonic KX-HCM10 which can be had for as low as $329.99. The Axis and Samsung cameras are pretty cool too, if you can afford them.
Other cameras include the StarDot NetCam, which is also available from ThinkGeek (along with the Axis 2100 and 2120 cameras) and the IQeye cameras.
The real advantage to these is that you can simply plug them into your network and watch [whatever] through your web browser. My interest stems from my upcoming need to be able to work and keep an eye on a baby sleeping at the same time. There are, of course, baby monitors that come with little TV's or that plug into your television, and the annoying X10 cameras, but they all require a separate monitor and need extra gear to be viewed in more than one location. With a network camera, not only can we watch the kid from any computer in the house, but relatives can watch too, over the internet. And all I need to do to set it up is plug it in and set the IP address.

Here's a place that lists all the IA-1s specs along with other thin clients and PDAs.
