Well yes and no. It is true that most of them have no effect in normal operation, but when the elevator is in service mode (i.e. apartment move mode), then doors stay open until you press the close button.
In my sister's apartment, the close button has a effect. The normal door open time is about 40 seconds, and it will close the instant you press the close button (i.e. after 5 seconds). In the office building that I'm in (mid 60s construction), the close button has no effect unless the elevator is in service mode).
We've had the technology for several decades to implement systems where mutual authentication can take place without exposing private keys or passwords.
Buy you need a key long enough to be secure, yet implementable in circuits
lightweight enough that they can be powered passively by an RF field.
Thats somewhat harder to accomplish, as was discovered by the Dutch with their prototype
passport, and various other attempts at secure RFID
This is a move to crush anyone that wants to use Java to build a cross platform "app"
You mean like phonegap(http://www.phonegap.com/) or jqtouch(http://jqtouch.com/)? Both of which are approved for use in the applications in the App Store?
Actually quite a few of them(such as Mr. Simmons) go on to be producers and/or label owners and discover how much more money there is on the other side of the microphone. Of course they are much more vehement against piracy then. However, the public tends to remember them as the musician, when really they are speaking as the label owner.
No. No. No. A certificate is only needed if you want to use the Java Security Policy to access local resources such as a hard drive. If I write an applet that only displays a bouncing ball in the browser, I don't need to have it signed in order to download and run. If I then exploit a vulnerability in the VM that allows me to execute arbitrary x86 code inside of the VM, then I have full access to the machine (or at least as much access as the account running the browser). No certificate is needed.
Java appplets must be signed to write to the user's hard drive.
<sigh>I know this is slashdot, but would it hurt to read some details? If you look into it, these are vulnerabilities in the Java VM, allowing the attacker to send arbitrary native code to be executed by the VM. Once you trick the Java VM executing arbitrary native code, you have bypassed any protections provided by the JVM. The JVM security policy only applies to java byte codes, or native code that was produced by translating java byte codes. No signature is needed.
The problem is that this is not new. There have been many cases recently where custom software on a regular computer would make a world of difference and it is turned down in favour of a much more expensive custom hardware solution because the regular computer can be used for non-medicinal purposes. The inability to recognize the iPad as a fundable solution is just the latest in a sequence of such bureaucratic blindness.
Frist of all, there is no reason that there would be any privacy information on a research lab computer. The only thing that is on my research lab computers is the software and data for the research. The grants that paid for the equipment prevent anything else from being stored on it anyways. Second of all, if professors know the social insurance number of their students then there is something even more wrong with the administration of the university. Students at our university are identified by a student number which is completely independent of any government issued identification number, and only people in administration are permitted to view the private data. I certainly don't have access to SINs of students (Canadian equivalent of SSN).
You missed the point. The movies are available on DVD/Blueray in our region with subtitles right now. But most of the online versions from iTunes/Netflix/other do not have the subtitles. Why is that? Is it because they are required to put it on the physical media by law? Hmmm....
Actually, there are telecoil bluetooth receivers. You wear them around the neck and pair
with the phone. They drive the telecoil receiver in the hearing aid. Typically run off of 2 AA.
Unfortunately, not. They are: Star Trek II -> V, Total Recall, Cube Zero,
Stargate: The Ark of Truth
Stardust, Alien, Alien III, (Note no Aliens), The Black Hole, ClockStoppers,
The Arrival, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Barbarella, The Philadelphia Experiment 2,
Dragonslayer, and the War of the Worlds (1953).
It also has provisions for CC or subtitles for the HOH/deaf. This has me hoping. Despite the fact that most of the players support CC, the online video/movies seem to ignore it. It strikes me as odd that every DVD has either CC or Subtitles (they have to by law), but only 18 movies in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy catetory at the itunes store have CC.
Not enough imagination. Of course they are not going to cut off themselves. Same with efforts to DMCA random customers. If you really want to cause trouble, you DMCA the mayor, members of the city council (where the board and exec live) and the local boards in charge of allocating licenses for ISPs. And after a while, you DMCA the children of the first round. Get the people who have the power angry at them.
In one part of the article it talks about him involved in a libel suit over the suicide reports and then he talks about being scared of lawsuits. Hmmm.
With the prices dropping on HD TV's, they need to find something with a high markup that the chumps^H^H^H^H^H^H videophiles will buy. There are only so many $500 ethernet cables you can sell.
I think you would loose that bet. If you actually read the article
(I know, I know, this is slashdot),
you would find that it involves the psychological evaluation of a woman
and her husband. At the trial, the expert who had done the evaulation
was not cross examined, and in the appeal the OSG attempted to impeach
the expert using general information from Wikipedia. Using an article
from any general information source (encyclopedia britannica or wikipedia)
to attempt to contradict a specific evaluation of a specific case by a recognized
expert in the field is foolhardy at best and deserves to be shot down. In Addition,
the court noted that the Solicitor General had access to government mental
health experts that could be used, and failed to use them.
Actually, you are referring to New London, Connecticut. The rational is that police work is largely boring and someone that is too smart will quit after training because it is too boring. But this means you eventually get detectives that meet the criteria you take for the patrolman. All in all, not a good policy, in my opnion.
That only shows the major and minor plates. Each major plate is made up of
several plates that are (currently) fused together. For example, the Appalachian
mountains didn't appear out of nowhere. The Ottawa River Valley is actually
an active fault, and smaller earthquakes happen somewhat regularly in Northern New York
State. All of eastern Ontario has earthquake requirements in the building code.

I have yet to see a protective coating that will stand up to a 3 year old child.

We only had a BW when I was a kid, and I remember the first Color TV that we bought. I don't remember the Color TV giving people headaches.

Because in appeal briefs you have to provide citations for your assertions. The prosecutor actually cited Wikipedia as the source.

By the way, soccer is short for "association football"
