One of the purposes of this contest is to "call out" poorly performing antivirus vendors. The reason people are up in arms is that they area afraid that the results are going to reflect negatively on them.
In other words, you're taking a bunch of really smart people and putting them against antivirus and asking them to look for a vulnerability. Although the antivirus are getting a free quality check, they are risking bad press.
No, we just had no budget for R&D.
From 1987 to 2001 we had been cutting funding and closing operations as the military budget became a lower congressional priority. During that time we spent less and less discretionary funds (read new projects) and what we did get for new work was largely for demil operations. (cleaning up screw-ups like the nuclear mortar program)
It's not that we couldn't have done it before or we weren't interested, but that we saw more advantage on using what funds we had to transition the field from last gen to current and to clean up and reduce the military administrative foot print. And believe it or not, closing bases and deposing of stockpiles takes a lot of money.
We typically consider distributed loss less harmful than concentrated loss. We call means for turning concentrated loss into distributed loss insurance. You run the same calculation on that and I'm pretty sure you'll find that if favors scrapping insurance rather than keeping it.
Oh and you could say the same with crime and taxes for law enforcement. Or social security.
There's a price paid in human or emotional capital associated with concentrated loss. People usually are willing to pay to prevent that.
No, they're changing the key. Essentially you're decoupling the node. Everything is there, it's just the password for that particular node of the botnet is reset. That doesn't change the fact that the ability to execute malicious code is still there and if anyone tracked the keys that were used to overwrite that of the botnets, they could set up their own network.
Sony has the content. This gives it a huge leg up on XBox.
Trying to move video to portable devices has been, by an large, a total failure. Look at TV and video on Cellphones as an example.
A PSP/PS3 DRM'd combo could be as big as Apple's iPod and iTunes. What it would take is a program like MIRO to tie into the existing Sony catalog as well as Internet sources. Add similar functions under a music tab to Itunes and maybe a Rapshody or Pandora capability and you've got a serious threat to Apple.
Then it becomes your set-top box for subscirption content, your physical media player, and your docking station for your PMP. AND it plays video games. AND it's standalone. Versus AppleTV which is just set-top and requires a computer, and XBox 360, which lost the format war.
My understanding of the ruling is that it this part of the law was struck down on accounts that it was unconstitutional because it tried to usurp a power that is granted by the constitution. The ruling has little to do with actual copy right reform.
Essentially nothing was really gained here in the reform process, we just got lucky that an invalid law was repealed and it happened to be a copyright law.
this Court finds Congress intended to abrogate State's immunity through Enactment...However, this Court finds that CRCA was not passed pursuant to a valid exercise of Fourteenth Amendment enforcement powers.
See above. That would return different checksums for almost all pages given most ISP's use some form of compression/decompression that will parse the page. The MD5sums will almost always be different.
But they do absolve you of your duty to pay them, any change to the TOS requires that the user accept. Any time they change the TOS you can opt out of your contract penalty free.
The problem is that in most places you have one cable service provider and only one cable service provider so you're choice is between them or nothing.
we gripe because we don't like what they are doing but we stay cause we don't have a choice. Give us a sufficient choice and then undesirable services will fall to more just business models.
Ofcourse! Clearly blacks like to work with women! What a connection you discovered!
And clearly most of the white people I meet are introverts. I mean most people in general! What are the odds of meeting actual being outgoing and sociable. That has nothing to do with the odds of actually meeting them!
And yes I will rejoice in the fact that few women and blacks (clearly no overlap there) have the capacity to work in a field that can put food on the table and feed families.
I find your perceptions a bit warped.
heroin addicts are less stressed immediately after doing heroin.
However they're a lot more stressed when they start craving their next fix.
So it's really an time averaged integral of the person across their daily cycle which you want, which isn't really characterizable, since there are too many uncontrolled variables in a day and no accurate means of quantifying the data.
What they should do is deprive a person who plays violent games of the games and see if they experience separation anxiety and if that stress is transferable, in other words will they replace virtual violent behavior with real violent behavior if they no longer have a virtual form to work with. And test to see the effect over time, weather the addiction and the transfer grow stronger or weaker as one plays the game.
For the average person I wouldn't expect a correlation. But it pisses me off when studies suggest causal relationships from correlation.
The system isn't so much self healing as failure resistant. The fact that broken nanotubes seal themselves in order to prevent damage from spreading doesn't mean that they are self healing, just that they don't propagate failure. They don't regain strength over time after being damaged.
Also the fact that they recover 70% of energy used doesn't make them energy efficient, energy efficient would be to find out that the energy used to exert a force over a distance or the power required to get the actuator to push a load at a velocity was nearly equivalent to the electrical input. Plus even if it was really efficient you still need to supply the power in the first place, so there's a high overhead. Even at 100% efficiency for the non-recoverable energy, you'd be supplying 333% of what you got out in physical labor from the device.
The difference is that this article suggests that you keep ALL the music when the subscription ends, where techdirt is stating you only keep 40 or 50 tracks. Now if I were let loose in a music buffet, I'd have myself more than just 40 or 50 tracks. And since I don't use Itunes or Ipods I can't state for certian, but I thought there was some form of copy restriction on fairplay drm'd music that causes the file to autodelete if the copy limit is exceeded.
So the question is how much music will they let you keep?
While this would get a lot of attention, you only get access to the music for the lifetime of the device or subscription (if you didn't pay a lump sum). While there's a small concession that you'd get to keep 40 to 50 songs after the device died or the subscription ended, you'd lose the rest of the songs. In other words, despite Steve Jobs' supposed dislike for DRM, this music would be quite DRM'd. Limited subscription plans have been around for ages and they've never gone very far because of those limitations. People know better by now, and so should Steve Jobs.
I go back to the first poster alternative about cheaper alternatives, I've seen some extremely interesting work with mesh networks, and they provide a level of redundancy not present in this system. And that's important if your going to talk Canopy or WiMax or something because now your talking about infrastructure. If you have one tower covering this kind of range imagine the amount of customers a failure effects. We can create mesh networks with existing technology and for a lot less money.
The government has strict policies on the labeling, use and storage of classified information. Technically any electronic media present in the workplace should be labeled with it's content and classification level. Classified data isn't only restricted to the office, but locked up in special safes.
Alot of the problem is that information that is confidential (like your tax records) or proprietary (like Boeing's designs) are much much much more accessible and less securely kept. I have a feeling this is more for the IRS and DHS types rather than the actual lifeblood tech development because those guys already have these practices in place
Prof. Plumb, in the study with the candlestick.
Seriously, you put way too much time in typing so much response when the field is so polarized on this issue it's not even funny. Just point them to the ball room or jingle some keys in front of them.
Depending on the nature of the weak chemical bond and how the 16 molecules respond the slight charge, you might actually see different states for different charges which leads to input output relationship. It sounds like when you rotate one of the molecules, the others change appropriately. It's possible then that you could structure the molecules in such a way that you could form logic gates where you'd set two of them and a chain would produce a series of logical operators, however it also seems to function in base four, so it would have to be a fuzzy logic.
And with that I've reached my thinking quota for today.
... is that the number of men who sign up for these services typically largely outnumber the amount of women... so girls will still get swamped and have lower response rates.
another trick with these statistics would be to compute a weighted average of response rates of the people who replied vs the people you solicit so that you got feed back to show if you were more or less desirable then average. If you typically send messages to people who respond 50% of the time and you receive responses 40% of the time it would tell you somethings up with your profile...
