From the letter, this isn't shooting the messenger so much as normal protection of a proprietary product. If somebody eventually convinces the public that it's insecure, they will deal with that later; maybe they will even have fixed their systems by then. The important thing for now is that whatever systems are out there are all genuinely from INSIDE Secure.
HID fixing the insecurity of their products? Hahahahahahaha. Funniest joke I've heard so far this week.
You've never used or seen HID products before? Do you live in a cave or just never do any work involving security? BTW their iClass products are pretty crap especially the fingerprint readers. Worked at a place who used them to secure the SCIFs and they had a false fail rate of well over 50% based on my own use and hearing about other people's headaches with them. They would also need constant resetting.
That's one thing that people often forget in these minimum wage/living wage debates: the employee still has to be productive enough to earn those wages.
And there is no real proof that even a majority of all currently employeed programmers in the US or Europe aren't being productive enough to make their wages that amount to about.0003% of what Zuckerberg is worth. And I dare you to prove he has been "productive" enough to earn the $33 billion dollars he has in paper wealth.
Really, corporations should be doing less of the "let's teach the world to code" crap, and do more convincing people with that hacker spirit to apply their skills and drive to computer engineering, rather than quant finance or law or other career paths taken up by people with that drive.
Sure, but those people would actually want to be paid well. Facebook, Microsoft, etc. would rather foster a future where that person makes what a fry cook does now.
Yeah, but paying your employees anything beyond poverty wages is SOCIALISM!!!!!
Or, you know, it's simply smart business as Henry Ford found out. He made his money back and then some by paying his workers wages higher than he had any necessity to do.
If your phrase has 12+ characters, looks like a random pile of gibberish, and isn't sitting around in plaintext anywhere, I think it's probably going to be pretty secure.
You would be wrong. Even 13 character password that has both lower/upper chars, numbers and special characters still has less than half the entropy of a random phrase of 7 words and two punctuation marks.
You don't need to make 100k/year to afford a Tesla. The stock P85 is around ~1300/month which is only about 1/3rd of what is the median income in the US.
Most middle classer's cannot afford a car greater than or equal to their income for a year.
Then they have pretty piss poor money management if true.
Only if you are willing to spend more than half your yearly income on a car.
16k a year for the top end model. That's only around 1/3rd of your income if you make the median income of the US (~51k). And having the median income puts you far, far away from the top 1%.
You would be wrong about the Bill of Rights both with respect to James Madison's intent and many decades of jurisprudence. The Bill of rights applies to resident aliens, as an example, just as it does to citizens.
How long does it take a user to find the correct button to dismiss a dialog? How many users use keyboard navigation rather than the mouse to navigate dialogs? How many times do the people who do use keyboard navigation hit tab without typing doing anything that would modify the field? All of these things require a keylogger (or a camera pointed at the screen) to find out and give valuable data when designing a UI.
None of which requires them to know the passwords that I enter into websites or applications. Sure, they need something to measure timing data or whether people use the keyboard for certain things. It does not require knowing all keystrokes.
Slashdot Mirror
Moron or troll attempt? Too hard to tell.
They didn't buy the company. They bought some of its divisions and IP.
They only licensed the Nokia name for a limited time. They chose the only thing possible.
Good for you. I drive on a road with a 60mph speed limit and traffic lights every day to and from work. Your anecdote is not true for everyone.

That would require the editors to be as literate as a five year old. That's just a cruel requirement.

Yes. Politicians.
No, it doesn't mean that.

I guess VoIP has become a meaningless term now.
Is FaceTime also VoIP?
How so? If WhatsApp is transmitting voice calls using IP packets it is VoIP. Also, since Facetime also does the same thing it is VoIP as well.
Is clicking on a YouTube video that features dialogue VoIP?
Of course not. Youtube videos are not voice calls.
Stock top-end model, I should clarify.

Most middle classer's cannot afford a car greater than or equal to their income for a year.

Up until Obama got the peace prize I though otherwise.
Because you believe there was nothing wrong with Henry Kissinger getting one 30 years prior?

A Slashdot first!
This is TEST software.
I run test software all the time. Not a single one of them sends back all my keystrokes. Stop making asinine excuses for shitty behavior.

Of course they are mistaken. The quote said laptops.
No one. Their own quote explicitly said "laptops".
Why is this considered informative? The sentence you quoted clearly said "laptops" not "tablets".
