The current terms of service (which you accept when you get this thing) are that the program is safe by definition. The user has to keep the pc free of viruses. Zerodays are the users fault as well, what so ever.
Which basically means, when ever somebody does something bad with your id, the damage is yours.
They even read, that you should only keep it on the card reader for the few seconds of usage.
As if those few seconds are not enough for an attack.
One thing that already works easily with an exploited pc is remotely changing the useres pin, without him knowing. Well....this already is a damage for the user of a couple euro + time loss because you have to go to the local citizen center. (can anybody thinks of a nice DOS attack on the city centers)
This is not a bug, it's a feature.
Now they can upload their spying tool to everybody without a warrant. All they need to do is accidentally mixup the new release of the passportapp with the trojan.
From what I heard. Raytracing scales better than rasteriastion. In other words O(raytracing) \subset O(rasterisation). Obviously, raytracing has really bad coefficients.
The Problem with Wine is, that from the user point of view, it is extremely unstable. It tried it out a couple time with games that had Gold or Silver status. None of them worked with the version I tried.
I think I would be really worth it, to stop developing more features for a while and add as many regression tests as possible to the project. So that the project gains stability. Since in the end, the real success is always determined by the end user.
I take it, that you don't get the big O notation correct. As the constants are different, it makes no sense to calculate when nlog(n) < n.
Ask yourself, when is C*n*log(n) < K*n, for unknown C and K(these constants depend on the implementation) and you will see that the only way to determine this is measuring the result of your implementation.
Auditing an election of, say, 3M voters where one candidate allegedly beat the other 50.5% to 46.5% to 3% for minor candidates need only determine that there's less than a 5% chance that the true election result had the winning candidate with 50%+1 votes to avoid a runoff. With a paper ballot satisfying #1 and #2 and generally accepted statistical analysis, this won't require a recount of nearly the entire pool of votes, only a random sample from each ballot box sufficiently large to rule out the need for a runoff.
If on the other hand the alleged winning amount was exactly 1,500,001 out of 3M votes, or if it was 1,499,499 and the winner wanted a recount to avoid a runoff, a full manual recount would likely be necessary.
This only applies if you have a voting system where it is sufficient to have the most votes. (Like in the US) In Germany for example, the percentage of every party is important, as it determines the number of seats in the parliament.
When you are on an enterprise level network, all traffic goes through high configurable switches that are locked. No user can see other peoples traffic. To do a man in the middle attack, you would have to get access to the switches or routers. This is usually much harder to achieve.
so EVERY bad guy, including would-be bad guys, already know this? do you know it? how about you post it as an anonymous response to this comment.... i mean, it's everywhere, right?
Actually, probably everybody on this conference knows about this already.
Also it's not like he gives a step by step presentation on how to get cash out of an ATM.
You do realize that confidential has no meaning for the regular civilian? It has nothing to du with democracy whatsoever. Yes the leaker did something illegal, but only because he is a soldier, for you and me, this is only some printed paper.
I wonder if they start suing Wikileaks too since they are actually way more sophisticated. The leaks are validated of cause but nether the less are always posted without the submitter known.
Did you even read the article? Three telcos where saying that Google should start paying. You know that there are a lot more out there, who would be happy to service their customers.
The actual bad thing is that they want to use other businesses to join them, but that have a complete different problem with Google.
To increase the pressure on Google, the telecoms groups are interested in finding common cause with content owners such as media companies, which get little or no money from the technology company when it aggregates their content on Google News.
You should investigate further since this kind of throttling is probably illegal in the European Union (read European Union \subset EU). In germany, the Chaos Computer Club would be happy to investigate this. You probably have a similar association, too.

They probably copied it from the XBox 360 which uses the same technic to ban people from XBox Live.
I've got nothing to hide. \end{cynical}
In case you don't get it Predator . This video is not about doing the greatest CG. It's kind of obvious that the distortion was on purpose.
exactly

Oh cool. I've got one too. Together we could build a dual band computer. This hast to be way more powerful.
mod parent up please
What would really interests me more is, if it has a suitable performance.
Right now I only use flash, if my room temperature drops to low.

You do realize that you don't have to carry it with you, do you?
WPA-PSK doesn't even have this protection.
You should consider WPA(1) practically broken. To many weaknesses have been discovered already.

Where did the article say it was GPLv3 instead of v2?

As I guess that you prefer getting UMTS, I would advise you to check which provider has got a good signal at the place where you're going. My experience is that if you are not in a city, the provider can make a big difference. There are even many areas where you have no umts signal at all. In general you can get unlimited data plans for all networks for about 20€ per month on a prepaid basis by on of the many resellers (as already mentioned blau.de , my favorite kabeldeutschland.de or all the others).
Here are some maps:

how many clients have ever connected to your airport extreme? This is definitely not the right device for the described setting.
Windows doos have POSIX compatibility, so yes it does have fork().
But it's probably more efficient to use the Windows equivalent.
