Compare to a normal password-- 90% chance of successful identification? 100,000 possible combinations? Ick.
It better not be used in any situation where a machine can attempt the password, and hopefully they've avoided storing the password itself on the disk, though it certainly could be found with brute CPU (see above).
Basically, it looks like this is a very unimpressive system.
Unfortunately, your dish will not work. The direcway satellite is in geosynchronous orbit over the equator, at a longitude/antenna pattern that works well for North America; Afghanistan is literally on the other side of the world.
I wish the submitter luck-- unfortunately, it's going to only be served by little LEOs (expensive service offerings) and regional geosynchronous providers that we're not familiar with here in the states. It's a shame that the military doesn't have a little more infrastructure for morale for everyone who's putting it on the line for us.
a sliding scale based on the age of the ROM-- 1970s and early 1980s ROMs like Pong and Pac-Man for $5, late 1980s ROMs for $10, early 1990s ROMs for $15-- with all prices decreasing as time goes on)
All the starroms games cost less than $6 in credits. And many are only $2. (There's better deals if you buy more credits at once, too.
In general, new titles are more expensive than older ones on starroms (with the exception of some early classics like Tempest for $5.50).. They do only have the Atari catalog, though.
Building your own is really not that bad. You can hook the parallel lines directly up to the AVR's JTAG pins.
But the route I went was to get the Atmel serial programmer. It's only $29, and works with the Atmel software. Search for "ATAVRISP" at digikey.
The AVR butterfly emulates the AVRISP through its bootloader, and has RS-232 level conversion-- so there's even less to fiddle with (though you do need to terminate the two serial signals and the ground in a DB9.)
The AVR is wonderful. Note you can get a complete development platform, the AVR Butterfly, for $20 and the price of soldering down a 3 pin serial header. Digikey has a bunch in stock.
The AVR is a really powerful architecture, and the GCC toolchain works pretty nicely, though there are some idiosyncracies (the main being that register naming is not consistent between all the parts, and occasionally flags are wrong.
Both are true. The read-only memory and data tables were HAND-WIRED and HARD-WIRED to their exact values, and were substantially different for each mission. Painstaking human work went into running the sense wires properly for each bit, and then weaving the memory into a large core rope. Description of core rope memory.
There are other reasons, too. RGB-to-CMYK color space conversion, for example, is not a patented technique, but Gimp still lacks that basic requirement. (It may have gotten it just recently; if so, the point still stands that it only got it just recently.)
To convert color space accurately, you need color space profiles, gamut matching, etc. GIMP can decompose RGB images to CMYK, but poorly. If you want to do better, the field is littered with many patents.
Color space management is a hard problem, and even the existing methods in Photoshop and other professional tools are relatively weak, but can be massaged into getting good results. Ironically, this is one area where patents may be particularly well justified; there is literally hundreds of millions of dollars of research into human perceptivity and colorspace matching that arguably would not have occurred if the investment could not be recouped.
Almost all cars have positive lift coefficients. Spoilers can counteract this to a degree, but you won't find a production car with a negative lift coefficient-- everyone is so impressed with the G35 because it has a neutral lift coefficient in the front stock.
We've told you about the G35's careful race-car-inspired aerodynamics (C/D, March 2002). Its low nose, steeply raked windshield, and nearly flat undercarriage return an impressively low drag coefficient of 0.27, with zero aerodynamic lift in the front. If you add the Aero package ($550) that comes with a large rear wing and more underbody trickery, that number drops to 0.26 and brings total lift to zero.
I remember driving my old Saturn SC1 at high speeds; it had a particularly bad amount of lift despite the factory rear spoiler. Near the top speed of 105MPH, steering would become quite light, the suspension would be poorly loaded, and braking would be less effective.
I was talking about -STOPPING FROM- 157 km/hr. So adding another force that opposes the motion of the car (drag) would make the car decelerate more quickly.
On the other hand, lift at higher speeds does limit the amount of tire traction available to slow the car down. But still, this is not a significant enough factor to be relevent to what I was saying.
the thing stopped recording after the accelerometers on the car noted the collision. Nowhere does it say the car stopped in 4 seconds.
Note that stopping from 157 km/hr in 4 seconds anyways is not an impossible situation-- that works out to 10.9 m/s/s, or 1.1 g's-- a value that can be attained in many cars.
So, MS could issue millions/billions worth of dividends (which certainly made large holders (ie the people in charge of this decision) a ton of money) basically tax-free.
Not exactly tax free-- corporate income taxes had already been paid on it.
Such would be true of most firewall software, because it likely runs with privilege (oftimes in kernel, yeek!).
Nearly any vulnerability in ipfw or the Linux ipchains implementation that resulted in execution of arbitrary code would allow the attacker to write to the boot block of the disk, among other nasty things.
But it's not really compression, but just a more-efficient coding scheme of how to store data on the disk than MFM. You don't lose capacity with RLL if you put a gzipped file on the drive, as you would if it was true data compression.
His point was you can buy the 4GB microdrive for $400 retail, or you can buy the nomad for $199 and rip it out... if you want a drive for your digital camera.
Might I suggest that it might pay for you to actually read and comprehend things before you respond?
In bouncing around, they radiate a certain amount of energy incidentally as electromagnetics. This is called "black body" radiation, and is why hot metal glows red, and when hotter, yellow/blue. Colder metal, near room temperature, still glows-- in the infrared.
Lots of things at fairly "normal" temperatures (around 20C) have resonant frequencies of molecular bonds in the infrared and thus radiate in infrared. This is why you can use infrared to determine how hot something is, but the infrared is not the heat energy of the substance itself.
One of the big problems with fusion being energy-positive in a practical reactor is so much of the output energy is emitted on really high frequencies and exotic energy forms (x-rays, alpha/beta radiation, etc) because of the energy levels involved. These are difficult to turn back into useful energy to do work and keep the reactor running.

Wal-Mart (which could buy MS with cash several times over)
That's quite a trick-- for a $240B market cap company with $5 billion in cash to buy a company capitalized at $283B... with cash.
Maybe you'd like to pick up a clue while you're shopping at walmart?

You are dumb.
Or to do math your way:
x * 1 feet = x * 12 inches.
4 * 1 feet = 4 * 12 inches
4 feet = 48 inches.
This can be written as feet = inches * 12. So plugging in 48 inches, I get feet = 48 * 12, or 48 inches is 576 feet.

at the number of bytes/sec != bits/sec * 8, rather a factor around 13 or 14.
;)
Shouldn't it be bits/sec = bytes/sec * 8?

Yes. You need to throw the battery away and buy a new one. :P
The linker chmod(2)'s it internally so it's executable.
Or you could just run a perl interpreter and chmod in there; or compile something that uses chmod(2), or.. any number of things.
Not so hard to fix.
Copying the magstrip is pretty easy too-- figure less than $20 in analog electronics if you're so inclined.
If you're on the machine, you have the nice handy card-reader attached to it; capturing the results from the card read operation can't be that hard.
Such would be true of most firewall software, because it likely runs with privilege (oftimes in kernel, yeek!).
Nearly any vulnerability in ipfw or the Linux ipchains implementation that resulted in execution of arbitrary code would allow the attacker to write to the boot block of the disk, among other nasty things.
And forward lookup of *.mx.aol.com returns the same thing?
You really need paranoid lookups to be sure-- any loon can control his own reverse DNS and pretend to be someone else.
Sure, RLL was called/marketed as "compression".

You're confused.
According to bc:
obase=13
ibase=13
6*9
42
I suspect you did the ibase and obase in the reverse order and did the math in base 16.
6*9 = 54 = 4*13 + 2 = 42 base 13.
