Nope, you're quite right. Well, you're right, and wrong.
If (and it's a big if) the OTP is truly random, then you simpally cannot brute force it, and you cannot do a known-cleartext attack. if, on the other hand, your OTP is not truely random, there might be streaks, or runs, or whatever you want to call them, and you might be able to get some further data out.
The problem with OTP is securing and distributing the pads themselves.
SFU works the opposite way, I think; it'll rexec or something over to your unix boxen and change the passwords. Or, I think, there's a daemon you can run on the UNIX boxen that the NT box'll call up and use that to change the password; safer than rexec.
For your next trick, replace the LCD screen with an LCD touchpad, put a wireless video solution in place, then mount the touchpad right beside your viewing area.:-)
Ah, but it's not an Apache exploit, but an SSLv2 exploit, no? Not every server running Apache is going to be running the SSL stuff as well. So suddenly, it's a bit smaller pool of boxes, and the 'installed base' thing comes back into prominence.
Here in Ontario, at least, it more or less works out to 'one week of pay for every year you've worked there.' THAT, and only that, is what they are legally required to give you.
Most companies give out 'voluntary' severance packages that are much much bigger; this is what he'd have to sign to get. At least, that's my understanding.
Depends on which point of history; you'd have Imperial Rome, Republican Rome, Imperial Rome with a Senate doing useful things, Imperial Rome NOT using a Senate to do useful things....
But, aye, I should have said 'The Senate would appoint a dictator....
Spockers was the first Vulcan to join starfleet, and the first Vulcan to volunteer for service on a Human ship, IIRC. Intrepid was full of Vulcan types, but it was a Vulcan-only crewed ship.
Actually, it's amusing that you bring that up. The US of A has been in a legal 'state of emergency' since the late 1930s, as I recall; I'll have to go find the reference.
Same thing that Hitler did, several of the Roman emperors, and so on.
In the first movie, he gets the largely ceremonial post of Supreme Chancellor; he officates the Senate, which basically means he gets to 'recognize' who is speaking. Also, he likely gets to form 'subcommittees' for things that the Senate has decided to 'investigate' such as the problems on Naboo. Otherwise, probably lots of kissing babies and opening bridges.
Also, and far more insidiously, he plants the idea that the Senate is too big and bloated to actually do anything in a timely fashion.
In II, he engineers a war crisis. Then, he gets himself granted 'emergency powers.' The analog here is Republican Rome; an Emperor would appoint a Dictator (Speaker) who would wield absolute power during times of war, then hand control back to the civilian gov't when the crisis was past.
Now that he has those powers, he can keep them until HE decides that the 'crisis' has passed. But it won't have. He'll next put into place the command struture of the Empire; Moffs rule systems, Grand Moffs rule sectors, and report back to him. The Senate, at this point, is rubber stamping things. Then, as we hear at the start of IV, he dissolves them, and the Republic becomes the Empire.
Also, expect him to do something to turn the Galaxy at large against the Jedi; he'll probably point out how they were completely incapable of stopping the Kamino insurrection, for example. Then, he'll have them hunted down and killed behind the scenes.
Actually, it does matter with more FPS. Don't compare it to film, because even though they both use the term 'frame' they mean different things.
A 24 fps film means that each frame is recording 1/24th of a second. That means that if an object being filmed is moving fast enough, the frame will have motion blur. When strung together with the other frames, this will give the illusion of smooth movement.
A 24 fps 3d engine, however, means that you have 24 static shots. There's no transition from point to point, unless you wind up rendering said inbetween shots.
Or, put another way, a 5 fps film of a hand waving in front of the camera will produce five frames full of motion-blurred hand, which, when played, will look relatively smooth. A 5 FPS render, however, will have five static shots of a hand sitting motionless in space, and when played, the hand will appear to 'teleport' from spot to spot to spot.
Or, put another way, record that hand with a standard camera shooting at five 'frames per second' not 'several frames, each 1/5th of a second exposure' and then string the negatives into a film reel, splicing in copies to make the whole thing last one second.
This is one of the reasons, I always thought, that 3dFX was trying to get their T-buffer out into the world, becuase then, yes, if you could LOCK the rendering at 30 FPS, and throw in motion and acceleration blur, it would still look better than a card rendering the exact same thing at 300 FPS.
Much like those of us who understand that there are no insecure systems, only insecure sysadmins had our Win2K boxes patched against Code Red a full MONTH before it hit the wild?
If anything, Linux makes a lot of people too damn complacent. "Oh, I'm running Linux, don't need to worry about all those Windoze viruses and script kiddies!"
Unfortunately, in this day and age, not having the degree gets your resume auto-shitcanned. There are sufficient techies out there that they can do some prelim parsing and vetting based on bullshit criteria like degrees.
Economic factors: the loss of several trading partners.
Had Germany won the land war, which they may very well have, they'd have owned Europe, Eastern Europe, perhaps a good chunk of the Soviet Union, and the Middle East, and a good chunk of Northern Africa. This would have given them a very diverse resource base, plenty of room for industry, and a population that could be...motivated...to be productive.
Thier Axis partner Japan, meanwhile, would have quite a bit of Western SSSR, China, and bits of Southeast Asia. This would mean that Germany and Japan, probably completely separately, but almost certainly by trading with each other, would have everything they could need or want. Not to mention MASSIVE industrial bases.
The US, while itself probably big and diverse enough, geographically speaking, to be self sufficient in terms of agriculture and resources, not to mention having the same advantages in population and industrial base, would nevertheless of felt the sting of losing the vast majority of their European and Asian trading partners.
Had Germany and Japan taken the majority of Europe and Asia, one likely outcome would have been another Cold War, only this time with the US in the position of needing to drive it's economy into the ground just to keep up with Germany and Japan's expenditures. In other words, what the US did to Russia, historically.
Besides, I'll also point out that wars are good for the economy in general, especially when they're not being fought on your own soil, or even your own hemisphere, and WW2 is what wound up bootstraping the States out of the Depression.
Now, I'm not saying that the States acted SOLEY out of economic factors. But I do wonder why, if they did it to save innocent lives and stop the depredations of fascist tyrants, they waited so long? I'm not criticizing them for it; it was the right thing, from their perspective, to do at the time, and hindsight is 20/20, blah blah blah. But war ALWAYS has economic factors as a very large part of it's core.
Just open up our Nerf guns, replace the innards with some real weaponry, and put it back where you found it. We'll defend our serverrooms just fine.:-)
Number of listening points required to hear 3d sound: two. Your ears.
Number of sound sorces required to create 3d sound: 1.
Sound can be identified as coming from a direction by the differences in what your ears hear. If somebody is talking to you, standing directly to your left, then you'll hear them perfectly in your left ear, but your right ear will hear it a bit later, and muffled by your head being in the way.
With two point sources for creating sound, and a model of what the average human head is like, you can dynamically adjust what's coming out of each speaker to adjust for that, and create fully '3d' sounding sound without requiring more than two speakers. But unless the acoustic model being used matches you perfectly, it won't sound perfect. Hence, it can simply be easier to create more sound sources.
For real fun, go find an Aureal sound card and play with the 'helicopter' demo. It's....enlightening.
Or, put another way, imagine that you saw one pair of boots that looked nice and solid, and was 50 bucks, one pair of boots that looked nigh indestructable, and was 100 bucks, then a pair of boots that also looked nigh-indestructable, but was 20 bucks, and had a hand-written little note that said 'footwear wants to be free! Included are the plans to make these boots on your own. The price merely covers shipping and shelf space.'
