All these years I've been using it to describe what you do with a knife or ax. How could I have been so foolish...
It's an English word, the English language isn't dead, therefore the meanings of words change. Half a century ago if you had said someone hacked a computer they would have thought the person took an ax to it.
Just because the technologies don't exist doesn't mean he didn't read about them. Perhaps NASA has some dummy files set up to occupy anyone that actually does it get in. It's happened before where a guy needed to slow down a hacker in order for a trace to be performed. The non-fiction story is written in the book The Cuckoo's Egg
From Wikipedia:
"Cryptanalysis researchers demonstrated fatal flaws in HDCP for the first time in 2001, prior to its adoption in any commercial product. Scott Crosby of Carnegie Mellon University authored a paper with Ian Goldberg, Robert Johnson, Dawn Song, and David Wagner called "A Cryptanalysis of the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System". This paper was presented at ACM-CCS8 DRM Workshop on November 5, 2001.[1]
The authors conclude:
"HDCP's linear key exchange is a fundamental weakness. We can:
* Eavesdrop on any data
* Clone any device with only their public key
* Avoid any blacklist on devices
* Create new device keyvectors.
* In aggregate, we can usurp the authority completely."
It must be noticed, however, that for this attack you first have to break Blom's scheme (the linear algebra based key exchange system). In the case of HDCP you need a minimum of 39 device keys in order to reconstruct the secret symmetrical master matrix that has been used to compute all device keys.
Around the same time that Scott Crosby and co-authors were writing this paper, noted cryptographer Niels Ferguson independently claimed to have broken the HDCP scheme, but he did not publish his research, citing legal concerns arising from the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act [1].
The most well-known attack on HDCP is the conspiracy attack, where a number of devices are compromised and the information gathered is used to reproduce the private key of the central authority.
My friend uses OOo Calc for her assignments and I believe she is attending FSU. So if it's good enough for them then I imagine it's fine for whatever high school assignment you need.
This gave me a pretty significant advantage over my peers when I was in school. When everyone else was handwriting their assignments my were printed out. Sure a teacher isn't suppose grade based upon presentation but everyone does. I even had those clear binders to put my papers in. All my classmates were pretty jealous.
I suppose the grammar and spell check might have played a part as well...
And one of the main reasons they will see this in the corporate world is everyone is already used to it. I'll be the first one to admit that Microsoft Office is a much more robust tool than Open Office but 90% of the things people are using it for can be done equally well in Open Office. So if we can get kids to learn Open Office why not? It's free and it helps build inertia for Open Office in the work place.
It was my understanding that these laptops can form mesh networks so while they might not be able to connect to the Internet they can still connect to those around them. It is my opinion that the best way to bring about change is through communication. If you can unite people and allow information to flow freely then these people will be empowered.
From Wikipedia.com: "Though gold is attacked by free chlorine, its good conductivity and general resistance to oxidation and corrosion in other environments (including resistance to non-chlorinated acids) has led to its widespread industrial use in the electronic era as a thin layer coating electrical connectors of all kinds, thereby ensuring good connection. For example, gold is used in the connectors of the more expensive electronics cables, such as audio, video and USB cables. The benefit of using gold over other connector metals such as tin in these applications, is highly debated. Gold connectors are often criticized by audio-visual experts as unnecessary for most consumers and seen as simply a marketing ploy. However, the use of gold in other applications in electronic sliding contacts in highly humid or corrosive atmospheres, and in use for contacts with a very high failure cost (certain computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines) remains very common, and is unlikely to be replaced in the near future by any other metal."
So it's not pure snake oil just that the average person is probably not going to see a difference.
It was always my understanding that the gold plated connectors are not better because of their fidelity but because they don't corrode. Silver is the best choice for connectivity isn't it but it corrodes fairly easily.
I backup all of my DVDs to my computer because I have a notorious habit of losing them. Every once in a while I'll go to watch a movie that I swear I've backed up and can't find on my computer. So at least now I can blame it on some science thing and not just my failing memory. Every day science makes one less thing your fault, lol.

Yes but how different is your music from any other piece of music out there? It still needs a set of experts to determine it. It's a good thing in my opinion because it encourages people to expand upon others works instead of only encouraging persons to craft original ones.
I think under the current system in order to get any forms of protection you must register your copyright. So while you might have instant copyright on your work, you do not have instant protection. I could be wrong in that regard though.
The new song is a unique work. If I make a new arrangement for an old Beethoven or Mozart piece I own the copyright of that arrangement. So while the original is in the public domain my new arrangement is not.
Well isn't the cause of your symptoms the memory of the tragic event? So wouldn't removing said memory cause all the symptoms to be alleviated?
If I have a nail in my foot and because of that it hurts to walk so I am prescribed pain medication or I am taught ways to walk so that it doesn't hurt as much then all you are doing is helping to cope with the problem. All you need to do is remove the nail. The same thing is happening here. If the memory is causing pain then why don't you remove the memory, assuming that it is severe enough, instead of trying to suppress the symptoms from the bad memory by teaching people how to cope with it?
During the times when I'm suffering or in pain, I've often wondered, if I had my memory erased afterword, would I actually have suffered?
You would have suffered but since you don't remember it then it doesn't really matter. Take babies for example, babies are in a great deal of pain a lot of the time between teething, running into things, etc and yet we don't remember any of it so it doesn't effect us.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said, "All of those things can be done by the HTC Mogul..." Well actually the HTC Mogul can't directly access iTunes but it can directly access the Sprint Music Store. I don't hate the iPhone, I just don't think it's the second coming. It's a great product it really is, just don't give it more credit than it deserves.

I know on my grandparents car the valet key will only let the vehicle drive a certain distance as well.
I think the word you are looking for is malicious intent not criminal intent.

Yeah, the only company that could beat Nintendo in the portable market was Nintendo itself when it killed the Game Boy with the DS.

Sure? When's the last time you counted? Someone could sneak out a vertebrae or two and who would be the wiser...

I'm sure the guys behind .kkrieger are happy they went with BluRay...

A proof of concept for getting around HDCP has already been published.
This will probably make it slightly harder (and more tiring) to walk on those surfaces. The energy has to come from somewhere.
I imagine it doesn't need to travel very far so I imagine it would be like walking with really cushioned shoes.

You assume that we understand everything.

That's my understanding as well. While you cannot copyright the copy you made, anything that you add to it is owned by you.
