Not if you put a USB hub of the higher speed inbetween. USB 2.0 and higher require that if a hub supports superspeed, then it has to retransmit the incoming lower speed data at superspeed rates to minimize the amount of time it ties up the bus. I assume 3.0 is the same.
Sounds like the govenrment finally decided they didn't like money outside their control.
Maybe. Or maybe their bank just wasn't comfortable with them. Where I work we sometimes will pass on working with potential customers just because we get a bad business feel for them. Whatever bank they're dealing with may not want to risk being negatively associated in the press with any of a variety of bad things that could potentially happen with this bitcoin exchange if they aren't an important enough customer to justify that risk.
The other thing I think is interesting is the degree to which this matters. The whole point of bitcoin is that it is supposed to be some independent currency. But it seems to rise and fall an awful lot depending on the degree to which you can exchange it for dollars. Which would tend to indicate that it does require backing at some level from dollars.
The best STEM people don't do it for the money. We'd do it for half what it pays, because we love the work. There's something to be said for enjoying more of your life than just nights and weekends...
Exactly. Remember how effective the sanctions against Iraq were in Gulf War 1. Hungry Iraqi troops were surrendering in mass to US Helicopters. Going a lot farther back Napoleon was ultimately done in by cold and hunger, not opposing weaponry.
A MITM attack requires intercepting the original message and replacing it with a modified version. That's not what was happening in DH2. In DH2 they were allegedly modifying the original message itself, in a way that is ridiculously impossible.
The MITM attack I was thinking of was when they took over voice control...
They were executing a man in the middle attack against aircraft and their ground based navigation infrastructure. Same thing here, just different technology. Don't be so pedantic.
That, and they used hardwire (cable) to connect directly to the airport network.
Well, That puts them one up on the guy in this article. He didn't connect to any hardware or network. Just some simulators.
From TFA:
When talking about the range, please keep in mind that we are talking about a proof-of-concept application used in a virtual environment. In real life, the range would be limited depending on the antennas used (if going directly for the plane), or global (if misusing one of the two big ACARS players such as SITA or ARINC).
... don't think I've ever seen a movie where that happens (planes getting hijacked that way).
Die Hard 2. Except it was a room full of computer shit in a nearby church, rather than a smart phone. But, you know, technological progress and all that.
The wires are shared. A cable modem circuit runs between lots of different houses. It's very similar to "party line" telephones in the old days, where you had one line that you shared with a few neighbors to save cost. But when the neighbors start dropping off and buying individual lines, the cost of the party line actually goes up, not down, because there's fewer houses paying to support the infrastructure for the party line (although individual lines become cheaper).
From Comcast's perspective, a circuit with 1 heavy user and 10 light user doesn't look that much different than a circuit with 2 heavy users and no light users. But it generates 5 times the revenue. If all those light users go away, and the heavy users need to pay the full cost of the infrastructure alone, the cost will go up.
That's why you can get computers like this for next to nothing on craigslist. People who want $10 per month internet typically don't buy their computers from the Apple Store or Alienware.
Paying $5 for 1 GB of usage is a good deal, idiot.
Paying $50 for 1 GB of usage (which is what some people are doing now) is a bad deal. It's like paying to take your anorexic girlfriend to the world's most expensive all you can eat seafood buffet.
If this works out, your $70 bill is going to go up. High bandwidth users get a bit of an effective subsidy from low bandwidth users, who are more profitable than we are (although not nearly to the degree that the companies would claim). If the lowest use, highest margin customers jump ship, the rest of us who remain will pay more...
You'd want to be careful about auto-updates of software, though. Adding a new (to you) computer with a pre -SP3 fresh reinstall of winodws XP (something resonable to happen for people in this market) would eat up stubstantial bandwidth as it downloaded updates.
Nintendo doesn't seem to have a good answer for "who is the market for this device?" It's not hardcore gamers. And the casual gamers that made the Wii a success have moved on to iPads and smart phones.
Nintendo needs to go somewhere that their competiors are not. In my opinion, they should be working with the Occulus Rift people to develop a box which can be worn as a backpack, which ties into the goggles. The VR Boy 2... They could concede lower quality graphics, but very, very low latency input and output to make the most of the VR hardware and minimize motion sickness effects. They already know a lot about building appropriate controllers. If this was well done, they could make the XBox and Playstation seem totally out of date. The way games used to be played, where you looked at the virtual world through a glowing rectangle with a plastic strip around it.
Seriously, I don't know how in the hell you can even slightly say it's worth paying full price for it.
People who say stuff like this usually don't think in terms of what people cost to employ, particulary expensive, well-trained, capable people. After you figure in salary, benefits, overhead, etc you can get over $1 per minute pretty quick. Even if I like open office, and use it every day, if MS Office has a handful of jobs that make it much easier for some tasks, you probably buy it. If it saves me a net 2.5 hours over time, then it's worth $150 dollars.
Writing this post cost my employer about $3.00 . You're welcome.
They were actually pretty open to their own people about the previous rocket's failure to make orbit. This was a bit surprising to the West (the admission, not the failure).
Yeah. In other news, Elon Musk just announced that he's decided to develop a nuclear warhead. Not that he particularly wants one, but he gets a kick out of sending Instagram photos of the stuff he does to Kim Jong Un.
It's actually a pretty good write up with a nice trace of his troubleshooting. If my customers gave me bug reports that included 10th of the level of detail he does in the article, i'd be over the moon.
I think the literal flying dagger of death might be just what he needs. And Marcus too. But before that, we'll teach him how to use capitalization and puncutation. Because it would be morally wrong to kill him before he understood these things.
Yep. I grew up on its little brother, Qbasic. It had... wait for it... Breakpoints! Blew my mind when I figured out what they were for. Dropped my use of print statements by 90%.
That's not a good comparison, though. Yeah, apple and google have eatten RIM's lunch, but even if they hadn't, they'd still be bigger because most of their growth was from sales to people who don't own smartphones. The market is saturated now. Even apple is starting to have problems competing with their own products that people already own. What we're talking about is something that's good enough to make people switch. Not new growth. And if you already have products you've bought through the app store for your platform, that's a hurdle. Your new offering has to be of more value that what you're walking away from.

And probably release a shitload of Higgs Bosons in the process. Or something.

Hypocritical would be if we constantly threatened to nuke Mexico, then told NK to knock it off.

Because if you don't spend up all the money budgeted to your department, you can't apply to get more next year?
Sigh, I know I wasn't this cynical back in my 20's...

That sounds exhausting.
