Right but we're no where near that point. Even 128 bit keys are huge mountains to climb with the most powerful systems on the planet.
I don't think anyone is saying that security research in the realm of computer science is settled, but saying the sky is falling and security hasn't kept up with improvements in overall compute power is false.
Just like today, back in 1995 if keys were stolen then you have a chance of being exploited some how. Is there a better method to prevent such problems? Probably, but it's a MINOR issue.
In most cases attackers don't bother with crypto systems, in favor of much lower hanging fruit (such as insecure web servers, sql injection exploits, etc).
If you think about it, the issues with key infrastructure are nothing new, they've been there since day 1, and in fact the same can be said about the micro-controllers which are now being regularly exploited by big brother.
User/Device security is no more or less "secure" than it was back in 1995, actually I'd argue that it's getting better as it's more widely adopted (when was the last time you used rsh?). In general it's always an evolving process.
We still don't have a practical way of breaking high bit crypto, and in general I feel plenty safe with my 1024 bit ssh connections to my LAN machines =)
Really any large screen high resolution smart phone will do the trick. Basically you want a phone (most of the time) and a terminal some of the time.
On screen keyboards suck. high resolution makes them easier to pack into a small foot print but doesn't address the big issue of lack of real estate. For this, I recommend (as small as you can get it) a blue tooth keyboard. Personally I use an old iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard. Small enough to carry around in the car with me, or in my pocket, if I really really need to get serious work done.
If that's not an option and it's on the fly well on screen keyboard has to do the trick.
Good luck, the galaxy s3 is pretty slick, albeit big, Right now I use a razr and it's performance has been pretty solid (though much to be desired in the screen).
This is truly an interesting twist and something we rarely see with such high profile cases here in the US.
If we had such men (or women) justices here, likely our country would be a very different (and better) place.
I admire anyone with this level of mental clarity and conviction to do the right thing.
Can we please stop with all the fucking political news stories now polluting slashdot? This use to be a great site that delt with technical stories, now it's just legal bullshit between samsung and apple and political garbage such as this and non-stop global warming nonsense.
If you're concerned about drive performance and reliability don't waste your time on off-the-shelf junk. Buy actual enterprise class drives from distributors which pay many dollars to have each and every drive tested for both performance and reliability in varying environmental conditions.
This looks a lot like "Spin" from a company called parallax. It's a proprietary programming language used to control their pic and hyperpic processors.
The COGCC approved these rules, NOT the Colorado legislature. I'm fine with the rules but assuming the people had any say in this decision is bullshit. Once again non-elected government bureaucrats are deciding and not the people who should be.
As a long time nokia user I just recently switched to android based phone. This was due too many factors the top being the fact that Nokia does a HORRIBLE job supporting their customers. After many successful generations of upgrades for my self within their `E' series business line I finally had enough with the E52 and E72. In both cases the phones barely worked, constantly had critical failures of the business applications and were nearly impossible to sync up with external, non-windows, non-nokia systems. The second being the fact that the quality of their hardware has gone from good to horrible. The mostly high quality builds have been replaced with cheap, plastic junk that breaks very easily. On my E52 I went though 4 screens between giving up on the phone, this in contrast to the E51 which is still in near mint condition after years of abuse.
All of this is in contrast to the reasonably open experience I've got with the Android based phone, and much better build quality. It's no surprise that nokia would partner up with Microsoft (FOR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS). Soon I suspect you will see them shift from a leader in the mobile phone market to another patent troll with crappy hardware and software offers.
Assuming you don't `leak' light like you do with electricity thought a traditional transistor gate when scaling way down this technology could provide a method of continued packing of high speed transistor like elements. The next interesting question would be how hot the chips would actually run, considering we're really no longer resisting, resulting in high temperatures.
Yes, and that's a joke as well. How many billions of dollars are we sending to Brazil this year? Why is it that they're drilling like crazy for oil off their coasts?
IOR was used across, um.. I think ~4000 client nodes or something around that. I don't recall exactly. As for 10 PB in size, that's not uncommon in this arena, and in fact there are a lot of sites which this much or more storage out there which don't make much noise publicly.
Generally consumer based audio cards are no better than the on board ones. There is nearly no difference in sound quality and in many cases the same DAC's are used. That said, prosumer and professional grade cards are really the only ones suitable for DAW systems. The consumer based cards lack features such as XLR input, True TOS input and output, as well as having extremely responsive DACs which provide very low latency.
Try setting up a JACK echo effect on your home PC soundcard and you will quickly realise that it's just not up to the task.
This topic is extremely interesting, I think that having a video (hopefully go viral) will help the masses better understand the issues here. In my own experience it takes only about five minutes to explain the issue, yet hours to really drill down through both sides of it.
Voice to text attempt 1: "What is. Thank you. Hey Faber what I AM slot. People just want to let you know like Hello Colin, this is already the decision. I think it's going to ask."
Voice to text attempt 2: " Hi. This is the level Dell Computers, I'm doing a follow, or on the error basement far start up top. If that happens. I still have the problem in 16 Keith dispatch number and I gave you so that into at that back and call us back and we could double shifts order with the problem. Thank you."
The first one was silence that got recorded by accident, the second was from our favorite Indian's over at Dell computer, calling to pester me about how my repairs are going. =)

Just wait until your buddy finishes taking notes, then take them.
I love KDE but I don't understand activities. Am I "doing it wrong" ? I can't seem to find a use for this feature.

Years after the release of the product. Mostly around service pack 2 or 3 time frame.

Should I feel a second Older or Younger?

rot13 isn't safe either.
They finally decide to tackel the horrific affects of book publisher collution with Apple.
Proving that you can crap on cop cars and make the paper's front page.

Only a 3rd? I would have thought more. I guess the recession is hurting all industries.
