Actually no, I was referring to the fact that the NSA helped in the development of Windows XP, Vista and 7... all publicly. It's not even a secret. They were also involved privately in 95 and 98.

"Working in partnership with Microsoft and elements of the Department of Defense, NSA leveraged our unique expertise and operational knowledge of system threats and vulnerabilities to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide without constraining the user to perform their everyday tasks, whether those tasks are being performed in the public or private sector," Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's information assurance director, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security yesterday as part of a prepared statement.
The solution to this entire thing is simple. The FCC simply needs to create rules that classify speed packages and what those speed packages mean. ISPs can only sell using these FCC defined terms. 3MB services = 3MB of data per second can be transfered at any time of the day, from the cusomers end point to the exit point of the ISPs core backbone.
It would be fairly easy for the major carriers to setup tests sites just like DSL reports. Could test their connections and report trouble right from the site. The end result would be the majority of US customers would find out they are getting less than 10% of what they pay for.
Broadband in DSL is exactly as the name describes. It uses a broad range of frequencies to deliver higher speeds. The broader the range, the more speed you get out of the signal. Baseband is an unfiltered line used only for 1 thing (data or voice) where as it's opposite, passband, is used when you install a filter to separate the lower frequencies for something (usually voice) and the upper frequencies for something (usually DSL other data services) Your use of the term isn't relevant to the subject of the article. "Broadband" is a descriptive term, and the FCC as a regulatory body is well within their scope of authority to declare that the range of frequencies used in a 3MB connection is to narrow to be considered "Broadband."
A government will advocate for freedom of the press as long as that freedom is used to embarrass other governments and further it's own interests. Once the those things get turned around and focused on the advocate country they quickly call it espionage and treason. If Wikileaks focused on China and their members were hunted down in other countries and then Jailed in China, the state department would call them political prisoners and demand their release. Citizens of the United States should listen very carefully to what their representative have to say about this issue. It will show exactly what kind of freedom they support. Freedom of speech or freedom to agree.
Fact is, we put down a metric crap ton of serviceable dogs a year because we can't find homes for them. Train them to bark at explosives, chain them at the gate, DONE. Cheaper than the morons they hire at the TSA as well.
The amazing thing is... My realtor must have been a genius because when we sold our house 4 years ago he had that very same camera take a picture of our living room...
if you're done ranting now... railguns have plenty of non-military uses. The research into how to charge and quickly discharge those huge capacitors alone is very useful. Not to mention the applications for launching stuff into orbit, or in fusion reactors. As weapons they are great for taking down incoming missles. Also, if they were to make portable versions it would eliminate the need to carry dangerous explosives (gun powder, C4, etc..) and the projectile itself wouldn't be a dangerous heavy metal like lead. I'd rather see the military spend their time doing research like this than invading another 3rd world country.
You'd think at some point these companies would realize they're never going to be able to throw enough programming hours at a device to keep literally tens of thousands of basement tinkers from eventually hijacking it. You'd think they'd find it better to provide the jailbreak themselves so they can have SOME control over it. At least flag the device as jail-broken for the warrentee or not allowed on enterprise equipment...
There were crocodile people under the Mediterranean sea in "Ilium" by Dan Simmons. His books are usually based on several classical works at once (Hyperion was based on the Canterbury tales) so it's likely he got this theme from a much older work: http://www.amazon.com/Ilium-Dan-Simmons/dp/0380817926
Can someone thats more involved in Java development give us some insite into what this means for large Java projects that are already well underway? I've got some vested interest in a few software packages based on Java and am slightly concerned about their future.
If you're paying $200+ for anything at a salvage yard other than an engine or a transmission you're getting ripped off. (ok, maybe a large pickup trick axle might run you $200) And since your bumpers already toast, break off a chunk and take it with you so you know the paint matches.
If you have a crescent wrench / socket set you can go to the salvage yard and get a replacement for about $50 and put it on yourself. They are usually held on by 2-4 bolts. But your idea of the $20,000 self healing bumper works to.
scanning an object into autocad is fairly easy with the correct equipment. I could see someone tearing their favorite engine down and documenting every single part in autocad then offering it up for free on their enthusiast website. We're already getting DMCA take down notices for scanned pages of service manuals so I don't see this sort of thing being far off...
I'm fairly sure I know exactly what she did. Most companies have the same security flaw. They have their network hardware resolve user names and passwords the same way all their workstations do. They also have a "Lockout" if you get the password wrong a certain number of times (usually 3.) I'm sure you've seen this before. The vaulnerability is, if you then have everyones email be: userid@yourcompany.com, anyone can very easily pull down a full listed of userids from the exchange server. The companies address list literally has every userid in the company. You then simply write a script to hit a piece of network equipment 3x with a garbage password for every single user in the company. Because it's a telnet connection it's REALLY fast. The system locks out every single user. If the admins weren't smart enough to reserve a single master login (and they usually are not) you can cripple the entire company.
Guess he's never heard of Portal, Dragon age, Half Life, Fallout... and isn't the most popular computer game of all time Solitaire? Way to go EA exec, once again proving EA doesn't have a clue what the gaming public wants.
Not sure what you're really doing but... oscilloscope signal generator discrete power supply Voltmeter Breadboards General toolbox (seriously you'll need a hammer at some point) Multiple workstations with serial ports obviously parts bins Lable Maker (for the parts bins) etc...
If it's a tall room... tall shelfs and one of those ladders on wheels.
Liquor laws are written by the distributors themselves. They want things this ridiculous to keep out competition. The city of chicago has 1, count them, 1 distributer for the entire city. It is virtually impossible to get a distribution license in the city, and is why Chicago has such pour variety in beers despite being so close to Wisconsin.

Spring ejection? Outer space? Wouldn't be the first time the obvious slipped right by NASA.

Iron?

No you don't.
Iran obviously hasn't had experience fixing their in-laws computers and are actually wasting their time trying to save their familly photos. FORMAT!
Not sure what you're really doing but...
oscilloscope
signal generator
discrete power supply
Voltmeter
Breadboards
General toolbox (seriously you'll need a hammer at some point)
Multiple workstations with serial ports obviously
parts bins
Lable Maker (for the parts bins)
etc...

That might explain why he gets himself killed so often. It's always the immortals or those that think themselves as such that are do dovish.
