Most class 1 and up tags can be re-encoded. It's not that hard, for the most part readers are r/w. Even though class 1 are 'write-once' that's really more about reliability than actual tag capabilities. Most can and will re-encode hundreds of times without issue.
Class 0 tags can not be re-encoded, because they are pretty much hard coded when they are produced.
I assume the ones in passports can't be re-encoded, but I don't know for sure. It seems like it would be pretty worthless if they could be modified easily. You'd need access to government databases to do what he is talking about, and that's probably not an easy thing to obtain.
But how do I know that my microwave doesn't have an RFID reader that enables it to know that there is an RFID tag inside and it only goes through the motions of microwaving my undies, thereby rendering any RFID chip(s) in my undies untouched and fully functional? All the lightning, sparks and visually obvious damage are good hints that the microwave was active.
Sexual intercourse is meant to be an act performed in private for the two parties that love and care for each other deeply enough to create a stronger bond. Citation please. my high-school biology seemed t indicate it was for procreation. I can find nothing to indicate that the point of fucking is to be private.
Do you censure fish who conduct the act of procreation on a mass scale in front of other fish?
God says so. The bible and catholic church say so.
Without some sort of intelligent designer, it is not all that possible to attribute intent, other than procreation, to intercourse. You can argue that there are benefits to certain types of behavior, but without god you can't attach intent to them.
This bug is nothing to scoff at, but it does really only affect people who have untrusted users with local/pseudo-local access to machines, and that group already has increased security concerns regardless of bug like this. So, in fewer words enterprise? The same group which, it would seem, have a need for using ARD for remote management? The same group that will download and run any damn thing attached to an e-mail or embedded into a document(wouldn't this still be effective attack vector for the terminally stupid?).
Drm is here to stay whether we like it or not. Their whole business model is to lock up and take ownership of other people's phones so they can charge for apps and ringtones. No, their business model is to sell phones. Unfortunately, most phones are sold through phone companies, and that is their business model.
It's like google censoring itself in china. They want the market share, so morality suddenly becomes relative.
Their non-phone products,N8*0s for instance, are a lot more friendly, because they don't have to satisfy the demands of the damn telcos.
d) increase penalties for IP violations that endanger public health and safety. From TFA, anyone know what the this is supposed to mean?
The government is going to prosecute people for violating the rights of people who hold material that is dangerious to the public health?
I don't really have any idea what the idea behind this portion is. I don't think it would be porn, if it is dangerious to the public health(child porn for instance) it would already be illegal.
I could see this being used to criminally prosecute the wikileaks folks, I guess. I'm having a hard time seeing how this would be used for something other than evil.
The main question here is IMHO : what do they mean with SCANS ? Are those (failed) connections that do not get ACK's back ? I'm pretty sure most P2P traffic would be able to cause false alerts, and although the network admin wouldn't be too happy to have bittorrent or emule on a machine (different from his own =), I can tell you that eg Skype can't be missed anymore where I work. This runs over a network right? Between ARP poisoning, MAC address spoofing, and promiscuous tcp/ip, wouldn't it be pretty easy to obfuscate which computer is doing the scanning? They can just dump whatever packets they want onto the network, and see the responses.
It would still show that some computer on the network is being naughty, but is should be easy to hide which computer it actually is.
Not that it won't help somewhat, but it's just another step in the arms race.
Just don't tell anyone about step 2, or step 4 is a jail term for violating the DCMA by distributing information about how to defeat a security feature.
Except, if it has negative mass, wouldn't that affect other accelerations?
Anti-protons have a negative charge and are attracted by positive charges. If both charge and mass were negative, shouldn't they accelerate in the other direction? Very weird thing happen to that whole a=f/m thing when m is negative, and we would have noticed it. Energy equations yields even stranger results. E=mCC, means anti-particles would have total negative energy, and annihilating particle pairs releases a net amount of energy? The mass can't be negative.
There is a total amount of mass between the two particles, that mass gets changed into energy which is released. The net mass can't be 0, and the amount of energy released matches up with our understand of mass of both particles being positive.
There is no reason to believe that the mass of anti-particles would be treated as negative by gravity alone and no other forces. Unless a massive chunk of what we think we know about how the universe is wrong.
If they fall up at all, then there are some pretty serious issues that the hard science folk need to start looking into.
By under-utilizing my net connection, does it mean that I sponsor the bandwidth of others who do..? Yep, and thanks. There's really no way I can actually afford 30+ gigs a month at 10mbp.
You left out the new 'quantum bar'. It's really cool because when you click the little star, it creates a quantum super state where the address is simultaneously bookmarked and not bookmarked. A lot of people have been complaining about all the extra clutter, but that's just because they are observing the results.
You are running no script, which seems to prevent it from working even if you allow goosh.org. It probably sees it as a pretty dangerious cross site script or something. Disable it and it will work.
I'm too paranoid for that, and too lazy to figure out a better work around.
They mean, I assume, that the launch would not have been effected, because the shuttle was not close enough to the pad to be damaged(the tail had passed the top of the gantry).
There is a pretty big flame(visible to the naked eye many miles away) pointing out the back of the shuttle, which can cause damage to things the shuttle isn't really all that close to.
The first link would not work because they can't just add noise. They would have to inspect and remove packets from the data stream. It works totally differently and would not be applicable.
The second is just looking for out of band communication in data streams. It could be configured to look for it in Voip traffic, but most of it is encrypted. It wouldn't be easy, particularly doing it in something like real time, but not impossible.
I've wondered about this: if the technology improved to the point where you could feel all the sensations with a prosthetic arm as with your original arm, but the materials were stronger, faster and more flexible, why not replace them voluntarily? Surely some people would, but it's not cost effective for most manual labor, and it would probably be banned from sports.
They'd probably be fairly modular eventually. Specialized 'hands' that go on the end could be very useful. Say for a surgeon or a waldo for micro-electronics work. Could work well for killing people better, and there is a lot of money in that.
It would be very expensive and people are attached to their body parts, but if it was worthwhile, people would do it.
Of course, it isn't any sort of leap forward, and anyone who has been paying attention to the industry would see that like most new bits of technology, it is part of a long gradual development progress.
Since about 2000 they've been making real progress in control systems, and impoverishment in material engineering have allowed for more lifelike prosthetic. Better electronics have made everything smaller.
They've finally put both together into something that can be used by patients, without lugging around a massive power source and computer.
No one has been suppressing the technology. This shit is hard and takes huge amounts of effort, and saying otherwise(saying a ridiculous conspiracy is responsible for the time it's taken)is a massive slap in the face of people who have dedicated themselves to helping disabled people lead better lives.
Anyone know how to get sharpie out of LCD? Isopropyl Alcohol. Particularly if it is one with a shiny coating. The smooth coating will totally protect your monitor, and prevent the sharpie from adhering well.

Ditto, same error and set up. I don't know why it doesn't work, which doesn't make it exactly comforting that this does not work.
I don't play with Macs hard enough to know if it actually indicates anything, or if I just need an extra flag or something.

If so, would basic training be to train us to stay up all night, living on pizza, soda, Skittles, and porn?
If so, where do I sign up?!?
I'm pretty sure you need a 4 year degree to go to Officer Candidate School, so start with that.The government is going to prosecute people for violating the rights of people who hold material that is dangerious to the public health?

But they are so pretty, I can't stop.
why would they need to prove that?

Tell me about it. 6 hours of downloading later, and the cake is corrupted.
Damn you MediaDefender, foiled again!
