And, two days after the blackout, the systems analyst Maycon Vitali, 23, revealed in the blog "Hack'n'roll" to a login page of the ONS revealed error in the validation data. The flaw could allow a hacker to send command to the database and find sensitive data from ONS.
The failure was published in the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo on Monday (16).
This is exactly why full disclosure is not good.
How so? If two days after the vulnerabilty was exploited causing millions of dollars of damage they *still* don't fix it, then the public has the right to know how much the security of the systems sucks. It may be the only way to prevent this from happening again.
Right... because if one thing we learned from vista is that users like to be asked before the operating systems do every little thing. In other news UAC is great!
Insightful? I have lost a lot of respect for Slashdot crowd.... this is obviously funny if you ever programmed 1 time in your live you'd know that you'd have to be FUCKING NUTS to attempt to change the firmware of your pacemaker.
My thoughts exactly! They (mgmt) probably approached him about this comment with an empty box or trashbag in their hand (like they do where I work).
That seems cruel... but I kind of like it. There should be someone with a cam too so it can be later uploaded to youtube. Seeing the face of employees when they're being canned could be funny.
I would probably go with defecating on the CEO's desk, being caught copulating with cleaning equipment, and attempting to snort toner out of the photocopier would take up those top slots, but hey, if you think you can get away with one of those...
At first I thought getting caught with forking a nice cleaning lady couldn't be so bad... then I read it right.
We don't need to encourage squattering of things, we have enough of a problem with domain names. The lawmakers already thought of this and if this is legal then it's OK.
For example, if we allow anyone to use up a two letter name for a programming language just by uploading some code or publishing something in the internet, we'll quickly run out of two letter names. Then it'll be 3 letters etc. When a truly important new language is developed it'll be have to be called something not easy to pronounce.
Nuclear is nice to have but not sufficient. You need something for transportation as well and nuclear isn't it. Not until electric cars are cost-effective.
When the only option to electric is horses then it will be cost-effective, even with today technology.
But many countries are going to want to use it too. And that means lots of countries with easy access to efficient plutonium based nuclear weapons. I know that this will happen but it's not something I look forward to.
I'm curious about what *really* is the economic value of growth in the form of employees at computers. I think that's a little more complex. At same level people want real material things, and the model that we have is that while advanced countries have more brain-workers, developing countries have hand-workers and export the goods. But if there is a serious shortage of energy in the developing countries (as it seems likely past peak-oil), they stop exporting goods and suddenly advanced nations while find themselves trying to rebuild their manufacture capacity amid a energy crisis. Not a good position.
If you can't trust that they really delete the data then you shouldn't have provided the data in the first place. None is forced to use google, and much less forced to use it when logged on to same account that could be traced to your real ID.
I'm sure the information is usefull, but last time I looked at it, there is no notification sent to Google when a search result link is clicked. They could still keep statistics of cached results that obviously they do know if you click one.
I think you should reread parent post, he is not making any claim about quantum mechanics, he is just saying that it doesn't matter either way.
You could just see the quantum effects inside you brain as random noise, and that it's already present from other sources either way so it makes no difference in if we have or we have not free will. In my opinion it's just a matter of definition, but as free will is a useful concept we should define in some way that it does actually exists.
Superdeterminism is no different that saying that god made the universe this morning just before you wake up with all the memories included...it requires incredible fine-tuning of initial parameters. And P was saying that it's impossible to predict everything, not that everything could be predetermined.
So? The point is that is not hidden you can still have some kind of feedback on how much CPU % the application+GUI is using. Knowing how much is the application logic and how much is GUI would more difficult however, but not impossible, by using a profiler.
Who modded this informative? You can also see CPU cycles consumed by the kernel in windows, just open the task manager and look up the "system" process. And based on the responsiveness of windows vs X I doubt its "the same cycles" or more.
If we are such a pussies why don't you build a rocket in your garage and and go to mars by yourself. At least you'll contribute to the quality of the human genome by doing that.
Going to mars doesn't bring us any closer to long term autonomic colonies in mars. Until we solve a bunch of basic problems here in earth it won't possible. Sad to see Slashdot mod to +5 an argument so flawed that even fox news wouldn't use.
Ext3 was not exactly perfect either. At least with the default configuration that came with ubuntu I had data loss problems. Never had that with NTFS.
I also have second hands accounts of disks that didn't even boot with ext3 that worked fine when formated with NTFS.
I'm curious of what are you calling "software encryption" . As opposed to what? Do you know about some computer that has some form of encryption that is totally hardware based, so much that the CPU even doesn't know that is there? I never heard of that.
All the posts talking about this like it was obvious.... either slashdot is where the people with highest IQ on earth like to read or halve of you didn't understand the attack.
On the other side the good thing is that this attack is so difficult that I don't think there are going to be many maids technically able to carry it out.

I think it's only the persons that call the terminology reversed are the ones that are backwards. It's very logical to me.

Tie a rope around the crew module and the lander. Separate them by a few hundred feet and start them orbiting each other. Instant gravity.
Borrow a superconducting magnet from the LHC and place it at the center of the 2 modules. Shields up.
Now what's the problem?
That they are tiring to go to mars not to write a sci-fi novel.
If we are such a pussies why don't you build a rocket in your garage and and go to mars by yourself. At least you'll contribute to the quality of the human genome by doing that.

Yeah more "marketing' than research. What is she selling?

This wouldn't detect a hacked bios. I'm not saying it's easy to do only that it's possible.
On the other side the good thing is that this attack is so difficult that I don't think there are going to be many maids technically able to carry it out.
HAHa you owned him hard.
