It all depends on how it's handled. Horror movies are especially vulnerable, though, because part of the horror is in your lack of knowledge about the monster. Since you already know some of what's going on the second time around, it's not as scary.
Of course, in the right hands sequels can be made very well. Look at Toy Story for one example of a movie that never planned to have sequels, but the sequels were as well done as the original.
What the fuck are you talking about? Take a good hard look at the codecs supported by the big three browsers. Even before Chrome's announcement, there wasn't a single column that was green all the way down. This fragmentation started long before Chrome removed h.264 support.
The biggest advantage Watson has is the huge amount of data it has access to. While many contestants may not know more than three or four different female archaeologists, Watson could have a list of 20. Where a human might mis-remember a name, Watson will never mix up a name.
The SOAP WSSE standard uses SHA-1 for authentication and all password storage should be hashes. If all your doing is a checksum, then use something faster than SHA, you're using a sledgehammer to open a walnut.
It's not unreasonable to leave out an algorithm that's as secure mathematically as the others as far as we can tell but that has a concerning characteristic. Previously, they've eliminated competitors for having simple mathematical representations and things like that. Since those algorithms were no more secure than the ones without the worrisome attribute, they could be eliminated without much problem. Remember, these are security guys, so they're paranoid about stuff like that.
I'm a little curious about that portion of the summary, though, since one of Skein's distinguishing features is that it runs nearly as fast on a processor as it would on specialized hardware due to the way that it's designed. If those algorithms were much faster than that then I would probably agree with the committee that the speed was suspicious.
Exactly. Google is the golden calf here on slashdot, that's why any story that mentions google is completely free of comments screaming that Google is now proven to be evil and we're all sheep for trusting them with any data.
Of course, if every article about google was 90% those type of comments, then you'd look like an idiot, wouldn't you?
I went to a well-established authority figure and he laughed me out of his office!
That right there is the problem. 15 minutes of this man's time could have given the submitter the knowledge to be able to tell the difference between a sinkhole and an impact crater. An hour of the man's time could have been spent corresponding with the submitter and educating him even more. Why not spend some time educating an excited person who's curious about your area of expertise?
But TFA did - he mentions how after breaking up with someone you shared a computer with you should change all of your passwords. Almost like Bruce Schneier has had experience with that...
The 6 minute charging time is only really necessary for long road trips. Long charging times don't keep people from charging at their home, it keeps them from taking their car long distances. The "gas" stations to charge the car in 6 minutes would have massive power requirements, but it's not impossible or even all that improbable that they could provide it. Then, at home, you have a normal charger that you plug in at night that charges it over a few hours.
Agreed, but that's best accomplished by having the students read goodliterature that they connect with, possibly with the help of the teacher. Pride and prejudice is a great book as long as you can understand what's going on. If a teacher is going to have the students read a novel about relationships they can have the students read that one and bridge the cultural divide rather than have them read a terrible novel that nobody will remember in five years and help them appreciate the classics at the same time.
You obviously haven't been in a public school English class recently. The good teachers are still good, but then you've got the "fresh from school and wanting to seem hip" teachers that will have you read something that's popular but substance-less to try to connect with you on your level, and you've also got the absolute idiot teachers who will have you read it and then write an essay on it so that they can finally understand the plots themselves.
In case you think this is a total joke, the teacher who taught honors English in my high school had the class read "A Walk To Remember" and then watch the movie. She was a complete and total joke, and she was better than most of the English teachers at the school.
I know they say it for marketing, but the devices wouldn't have had intel in them at all. Only chips, generated by 3rd party plants, which took specs from Intel.:) A couple layers of abstraction away is all...
My understanding is that the gasoline is (supposed to be) there to power a small electric generator which recharges the batteries which run the car. Therefore, if your battery is dead and your car has gas, you have another problem entirely.

Stuxnet Worms On
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Consider this possibility: the last time people were accusing a government of being behind an attack, it was someone with a grudge but no government connection. Considering how hard it is (or even impossible) to tell the difference between a talented amateur and a professional when it comes to computers, why is everyone jumping on the government bandwagon? Maybe it's some college buddies in Tel Aviv who decided that they wanted to target Iran, or maybe Stuxnet was just a worm of the week from blackhats (many of which are getting ridiculously complex) that just happened to get into the Iranian facilities.
That number comes from the number of ip addresses compared to the number of legitimate copies sold. I have an internet connection that changes ip address daily or so (I think to make it so that I have to buy a static ip address). If she plays it for two weeks and posts one score each day, she's got a 14:1 piracy ratio on her legitimate copy. My laptop has been on four different wifi networks. If I were to play the game at school, at home, and at work on the same laptop, it could balloon pretty quickly.
I tend to agree with the Stardock line of reasoning, which is that focusing on the pirates is by definition focusing on people who aren't your paying customers, and that putting out a quality product will make you money. It seems to work pretty well for them.
Having to deal with XSS myself recently, I have to say that I'm not that shocked. It's really, really hard not to accidentally miss something while you're programming in HTML and leave yourself vulnerable. Google's had issues with it before, most open source solutions have had that vulnerability, and now Twitter has. In a lot of ways I'm more surprised that this is the first one they've had.
Modern browsers are so fast that the difference is miniscule. If you're looking at using IE6 or using Chrome, then obviously Chrome needs to be praised. If you're comparing several browsers that are all fast enough that there's no strong difference between them in real world use, then mocking the loser is just more fun:D
Then they just need to check the temperature of the finger to make sure that it's still alive. It should work: criminals with microwaves can't run away very fast.
At least this is a new kind of article, though, rather than the same old "HTML5 will replace Flash, Java, CPUs and give everyone blowjobs!" article that they usually have. And this is a serious concern, too: HTML already has an attack surface as big as all outdoors. I'm not saying that HTML is useless or should be replaced or anything, but security should be designed in from the beginning and the HTML5 spec is no exception.
I agree with the video blog, but I think her children would also appreciate a handwritten diary. Holding and reading something that their mother held and wrote in creates a personal connection that isn't there with a video. Something tangible, something real, something intensely personal will complement a video log quite nicely.
For the anecdotal evidence of that, my grandpa died 7 years ago, and when we got his handwritten journals a few years ago they meant more to my family, myself included, than everything else combined. I can't exactly explain why, but that's the way it was.

Really? I thought it was more like SaaS in that you have to continually pay to get the same basic shit.

Sorry to break this to you, but that wasn't pheromone.

Audits would have helped too. There's no legitimate reason for this guy to access all those documents.

You mean the child being held by his father, who was obviously in on the joke and okay with his child getting the candy?
