Sounds like they put macrovision on it. You can buy devices that remove the macrovision, they are pretty cheap, here is an example of such a product. They are called video stabilizers, you might be able to find one at you local electronics store, usually with the camcorders.
It could also be that the gov't has farms built for the purpose of cracking encryption. This guy was clealy high on their list, so it was worth the CPU time to crack. Just a guess.
Since it should be able to, without fail, stop you as close to the accident/stopped driver as possible, without hitting it.
What about Ice? While this is an interesting idea, sometimes accidents are unavoidable. My mom was going down the highway between Canmore and Calgary in the winter, hit some black ice and hit a mountain at 110km/h. I doublt that a system such as this would have prevented an accident like that.
This technology also seems to open Volvo up to litigation. "You allowed me to crash my car."
Grr, I wish I could so something about my parents computers. I got called several days ago, and then again yesterday after I didn't retrun the call (I'm a bad son).
I am sick and tired of fixing fucked up windows installs. The problem is that windows is a major pain in the ass without an admin account, and running as an admin is just asking for trouble.
Looks like this christmas, I get to fix a computer! YEY! Just like last christmas...
You use the app that the GP referred to. When the computer is off, the OS is not running, therefore, the OS cannot start the computer. I bet that if you dumped the firmware, then run the app, the dump the firmware again, there would be a change. Just becuase there is no option in the BIOS, doesn't mean that it is not handled by the BIOS (or openfirmware).
It obviosly has to be in the BIOS becuase the OS is not running when the computer is off. Mac OS must just have a front end that interfaces with the BIOS so that "it just works".
That's because qwest is actually run by a warlock. They sell you DSL service, but instead of using phone lines, they use Majik (similar to magic, but transmits data, not small balls, birds, hankercheifs, cards and such).
I have a hard time believing that installing thousands of tiny peizoelectric generators in the floor to be either a) better for the environment or b)profitable.
I would bet that the cost to the environment in producing these special devices, would be greater than the coal that would have been fed into a coal power plant to produce the same amount of power.
Using deception to gain higher prices, the Court said, normally does not have the tendency to shut out rivals.
This quote near the end of the artice I find troubling. It almost sounds as though the court condones the use of deceptive practices.
It's true that companies use deceptive practices (the iPhone article earlier, cell phone companies in general) and those companies are certianly thriving, I think that the courts should be smacking companies that use blatent deception.

When someone calls you saying that their Internet explorer isn't working, what are you going to do?
"Oh hold on there, let me get my reflectometer out and test the fibre for breaks. Hmm. Looks like a potential break 432m down the line. Can I borrow your shovel? Here, carry my arc fusion splicer, I'll need that."
Come on. What would be done is you would hire a company (a power company for example, Enmax does stuff here) to lay the fiber and then have an agreement with them for them to maintain the lines for $x/mo for y years. The monthly fee would be split up amongst the homeowners.
If I remember the details correctly, they looked at the TCP stack for the linux kernel and found a section that was essentially labeled "This code is to catch errors. This code should never run", or something like that. They figured out how to make that code run (along with some other magic), and the rest is history.
The source code allowed the attacker to identify the issue, as well as find out how to execute it. When you are writing a program with millions of lines of code, there WILL be an error/hole somewhere. Both open source and closed source have holes, but open source provides you with the source code to explore as well.
When the water freezes, most of these impurities are not actually included in the ice crystals, but they usually do get stuck somewhere in little pockets in the ice cubes. That's why, with our very sensitive sense of taste, we can tell the diference between different types of ice cubes, the same as you can taste the diference between water from different sources. These small differences between tap water and distilled water may not produce any obvious visible difference in ice cubes, however.
A less subtle difference might arise from the fact that many taps "aerate" the water by passing it through a fine mesh with an air intake. Tap water out of most taps has quite a bit of air dissolved in it. If you leave a glass of tap water out for a while you may notice tiny air bubbles forming on the side. If you freeze the water quickly, the ice will form before the air has a chance to bubble out. The bubbles will form anyway inside of the ice cubes because the dissolved air does not fit into the ice crystal lattice. So if you look at ice cubes made from tap water compared with distilled water, you might find that the tap water ones are not as clear and transparent as the distilled water ones because of all the air bubbles inside. But this isn't a fixed property of tap water or distilled water, just in their handling (you can dissolve air in the distilled water too!).
I heard/saw somewhere that if you use new plastic ice cube trays and distilled water, and do things just right, you can get a spike to form on the ice. Ahh, here it is.
I think that you missed the point. The point here was not that we should give up our rights and freedoms because of "if you have nothing to hide, then who cares" mentality, but that this guy should get get on the bandwagon and get a cell phone.
Personally, I'm fine with previews. It's the ads for "Cars, Coke, and hip clothing" that pisses me off. I'm even okay with them playing ads for Coke and cars and whatnot while people are waiting in the theatre prior to the start time.
Arriving at a movie on time just to sit down and be inundated with ads after paying 10/ticket + 5+/pop + 5+/popcorn, makes me tremble with anger. One of many reasons that I don't go to theaters much anymore.
We use VNC and NetOp with our satellite sites. It works decent. It is slow (maybe 2 minutes) to authenticate with AD when you initially log on (if you log in locally, it is faster), but once you are authenticated, things work pretty good. There is definate latency between when you click the mouse and action happens, but it is definately usable.
As for the iridum setup, you might want to check those speeds again. When we looked into it, they were only able to offer a 2400 baud serial connection over the Iridium system. That is REALLY slow, and with high latency. We decided against going with the backup.
I'm not sure where you are planning on deploying these setups, but maybe a cellular modem would fit your needs more. They are fast, low latency, and comparable in price. The only hitch with them is that there is no SLA; just best effort. If you are out of coverage area, try to hook up a high gain antenna to the cell modem and try again.
I would just use remote desktop tools to manage your servers. VNC especially works quite well with low bandwidth, high latency connections.
One thing to let you know though. Make sure that you have someone that can go to the site and has access to the network equipment. We have almost 20 sites like this, and about 2 go down a month. The sat-modems or sat-controllers sometimes need to be rebooted, and having someone near the site to do that can save you guys A LOT of money. When we have to send out a tech, it costs around $2,000.00 due to driving charges.
I disagree. If we didn't like beef so much, we wouldn't breed cows. If we didn't breed cows, there wouldn't be nearly the number there are now. So actually, eating cows is good for the future of the species.
There is a lot of heat that gets created from tidal action. The gas giants have such intense gravity that it warps the surface of the moons as they rotate around the planet. This shifting of the moon creates a lot of heat. Enough to have liquid water? Who knows.

You never feel more alive than when you are flirting with death. Dare to dream.

I agree there. I am still running version 2.X.X.X because vuze is a POS.
Heck I wrap my kids' PB&J in a paper towel... That's my prior art.
WTF? Paper Towel!? That is the worst wrapper ever. A plastic baggie, plastic wrap, aluminium foil & wax paper would have all been better choices.
I'm having a bit of trouble picturing this...

Here is an example where the source code has led to a "hack"
If I remember the details correctly, they looked at the TCP stack for the linux kernel and found a section that was essentially labeled "This code is to catch errors. This code should never run", or something like that. They figured out how to make that code run (along with some other magic), and the rest is history.

Here is a neat link that explains differences:

No, no, no! It's saying that you can't be seen if someone else holds up a sheet that is the same color as the wall.

Who care? What we all really want to know is how Batman evolved from human to hero. Are the tights the key?
