  1. Cover for what? on Moscow Subway To Use Special Devices To Read Data On Passengers' Phones · · Score: 1

    Is it really about detecting stolen phones/SIM cards, or is that a convenient 'cover story' for eavesdropping on people's private smartphone data while they wait to ride the subway?

    Why would they bother when they can just force the local cellular providers to let them access this data directly and easily

  13. Re:When will Volkswagon fix the issue? on Judge Rules In Favor of Volkswagen and Silences Scientist · · Score: 1

    I've got a 2009 Ford Escape and it's never had to be taken in. I believe there was 1 recall and it was for the seat covers, which I don't have in mine.

    you read the article last week about taking control of fords and disabling brakes right?

  14. Re:When will Volkswagon fix the issue? on Judge Rules In Favor of Volkswagen and Silences Scientist · · Score: 1

    stop him from releasing the info or issue a recall, i can respect a judge forcing the relaese to be delayed but not without placing requirements on Volkswagen to resolve the security issue promptly.

    fact of the matter the information exists, even if its not released anyone with a strong enough desire can now attempt to replicate the results knowing that success is achievable

    As long as they dont spend too much and lose sight of the TWR project

    this is an amazing tech but i do hope they continue with TWR reactors which will be more of an asset in the short term since it can essentially 'clean' radioactive waste from conventional reactors

  20. In the purist terms on Adapteva Parallella Supercomputing Boards Start Shipping · · Score: 1

    A super computer is a system that has multiple processors functioning in parallel. be it many individual machines networked together, a single processor with a several processors etc.

    The term supercomputer is a very old one back before you could even fathom purchasing a machine capable of housing multiple CPUs, well unless you were a university or very well funded trust fund geek

    by the original definition most of our phones are super computers
