You sound like a man who likes to take care of his rocks. Do you know what destroys rocks? Yes, I suppose explosives do destroy rocks, but that's not it... Volcanoes destroy rocks! Eh... Eh! You're following me, aren't you? What? You don't have any volcanoes around here?
Don't you think it's about time you had some volcanoes?
That just means that the machine makes a 2% profit for the host. By the way, that's a real good margin. In the UK, machines are frequently marked with 79% payout. Mostly find those in pubs, though.
I never quite understood why the cockpit is accessible from the passenger cabin. Sure, it's great to go see the pilot when you're 6 years old and your parents need 5 minutes rest from "HOW LONG IS IT NOW WHERE ARE WE IS THAT STILL ENGLAND THIS IS SO BORING CAN I HAVE A DRINK PLEASE WHEN ARE WE GETTING LUNCH MY EARS ACHE WHY CAN'T I HAVE A CHOCOLATE BAR THIS MOVIE IS BORING" but from a security-oriented view they should have their own door adjacent to the passenger entrance. They can even go up the same stairs / across the same airbridge, but keep them separate when in the air.
I understand they may need feeding, so here's something I learned from pulling 12 hour days: Pack a sandwich.
I must be doing it wrong. I'm listening to the Binbeats2.ogg file at my desk (getting high at work! Who would have thought:D ) and all I hear is electronic popping in the background over some dodgy transporter sound effects from 1980's Star Trek. I occasionally get negative interference waves, but much higher than the frequencies the article describes. Into the hundreds of hertz.
Excellent! So, I was correct in labelling this whole shitty story as another inflammatory chod-fest at the hands of Slashdot's very own version of the Daily Mail, kdawson.
The wikipedia article lists the brain waves associated with certain states of consciousness. Aiming for those might be what produced the effects you describe. Might be worth researching.
Trent Reznor hated the first album he wrote sober (With Teeth).
It's certainly lost all of the edgyness the last albums had. It's almost a pop album. Year Zero was much better. Guess he just needed to find a different muse.
This is a list of routers that allowed their script to run within the network. You then need to actually launch an attack on the router which... they don't have.
It is the first step. In fact, apart from a firmware vulnerability or some REALLY shocking DMZ setup, you're going to leave this attack with nowhere to go just by changing from the default password. There might be a second exploit in the form of a dictionary attack tacked on to the end, but that's not what the article is about.
It's not that big a deal. It's a headline of the type you're likely to find in the Daily Mail; Sensationalist and inaccurate. There might be more info in the future which justifies the grandeur of the statement, but right now (pre-Black Hat) it's just bullshit sensationalist speculation from Slashdot's specialist on the matter.
(Yeah, i'm getting a chip on my shoulder about this guy.)
This attack is just a redirect. It redirects an attack to inside your network to hopefully exploit a second vulnerability in your router. It relies on a second attack to actually compromise the router itself, either a firmware vulnerability or weak security settings. This isn't a single attack which will root your home networking devices by itself. It's just a way of directing an attack to run from inside your network (where security might be weaker) and doesn't allow any access in and of itself to your router. The "Millions could be affected" line comes from default passwords and configs or poor security settings by the user.
"One comfort for users may be that Heffner's method still requires the attacker to compromise the victim's router after gaining access to his or her network."
So, this is a problem if you've left your router with its default admin password, or there's a vulnerability in the firmware which can be exploited. The same as every other possible exploit of consumer^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hall hardware.
Who published this article? Oh, hey kdawson. Glad to see you're still on form. Seriously, let me filter this shit out of the RSS feed.
"Windows recently downloaded and installed an important security update to help protect your computer. This update required an automatic SCRAM of your reactor."
HP's drivers are only humongous for consumer-grade appliances. This is because all of the job processing is handled by the computer; The USB cable literally sends raw instructions to the printer to run. There is no processing handled by the printer itself.
Higher end devices have much smaller drivers as the hardware has on-board PostScript processing, for example. The computer hands over PS instructions and says "Ok printer, parse that." You won't get that with your desktop InkJet; The price you pay is 80MB driver packages.
I use Swype on the Desire I'm testing. I'm absolutely gobsmacked by how accurate and intuitive it is to use. After 2 days use I was hitting 40 wpm with a keyboard 2" wide (use it in portrait), using only my thumb. You can type out words if you wish (spinning 90 degrees still brings up the landscape keyboard) but that's slower for me. One handed typing has become faster than two.
It's from the guy who designed T9. That man is a genius.
The HTC Desire is extremely capable and moddable. Check out the xda developers forum. They're running Froyo on it already, despite it not being available yet from most carriers.

Halt and Dump Core?
Certainly beats a boring old "catch fire" message.
New game: How long did it take you to figure out exactly what he was controlling?
1m21s.
That's a grand ramble you went on there.

If they can't get us to fission spontaneously, i'm not at all impressed.

Holy sensationalist bullshit headlines, Batman!
Sorry, I'm only in the market for bridges at the moment. Got any of those?

No force whatsoever, if everybody actively breaches it.
