ICANN will commence legal action and allow the courts to decide. Unfortunately, this could be another long, drawn out, expensive process where we don't see any real action for some time.
But this is material that you've had 20+ years of experience with. I would hope that you can watch/listen to the lectures at 2x the speed and still follow along. I would also hope that you could skip a few lectures and not be left confused.
Take a student who has had no experience with the subject matter. You think this approach would still work well?
I suppose its relative to the complexity of the subject matter and the ability of the student to digest information, but I would argue, that for the most part, lectures at hyper-speed aren't more effective.
Thanks genius. They've done this before in the past... Paying customers have a right to download the patch before the masses using the free version (including myself) consume most of their bandwidth.
Nowhere (nor have they ever) do they comminucate to their user population that they are only releasing to paying customers.
Quoth Cerulean: "Yahoo Patch Beta 1 is available for Pro customers; patches for 1.0 and.74 are on the way and will be released once the patch is 100%... "
That's right on their homepage. Its in the "News" column. I couldn't find anywhere on their site that said they're only releasing to paying customers. Stop the FUD please. Cerulean Studios creates a good product and has a good history of responding to protocol changes and communicating to customers.
London transportation authority seems to think: "Oyster cards don't need to be removed from purses or wallets to pass through Tube gates or to board bus, DLR and Tramlink services."
But, after reading oystercard.com, they recommend: "you must touch your card on the card reader when you enter the gates and also when you exit, even if the gates are open"
subtle diffence, but this could turn into a big misunderstanding.
"A keyboard based on the Cassie design was planned for use with the Apple IIgs, however, it was found that customers would not accept a keyboard that was so thin and lightweight. The keyboard that shipped with the IIgs was given a small frame and a power key to make it seem more substantial."
If you patent the Most Recently Used algorithm, we're going to have some problems. That and my old comp sci. prof is going to hunt you down with an rpg.
Interesting idea based on a fundamental comp sci theory.
Great way of putting it - I couldn't agree more. While 8 years ago, searching for "apple" may have yielded the results the author is expecting, as Netizens, we have to expect to evolve our behavior as the Web matures. The article's author might want to try ease his frustration by using more detailed searches:
"apple computer" hits Apple (the company) first. "apple growing" yields some informational sites (3 of the first 6)
Good question. I recently tried to ask AT&T to unlock my Motorola T720 so I could use it with other GSM networks where no AT&T networks exist (upstate NY), hence being able to use my phone. They, under no circumstances, would not give me the unlock codes. I got them to tell me that they would rather lose my business than give me the codes.
Other companies, such as T-Mobile and Voicestream, don't have any problems giving out unlock codes (so i've heard).
I understand and I've seen the Walmart effect first-hand where I live. The interesting thing is that free market economics doesn't take into account well intangibles such as quality of service levels, employee knowledge, etc. Cheaper prices means economic consumer benefits.
I'm not advocating a Walmart take-over of the world; simply stating that Walmarts are a neccessary evil of capitalism.
I hope NetFlix has enough money to compete and I hope other organizations see opportunity and enter the market space.
uhhh... not exactly. If you read the article, you'll notice that they've discovered the obfuscation technique that the Airport uses to scramble it's administrative passwords. Quite interesting if you're keeping tabs on the different techniques between access points.
True, you'll actually have to read the article to discover what the "News" is here, but it's a practice that I recommend.
There is no doubt (and certainly no argument) that this is a well known security vulnerability of 802.11b access points, the Airport being one of them.
If you read the posting, @Stake is not laying claim to the vulnerability, rather the obfuscation technique used by Apple to transmit their passwords. While other wireless routers (linksys, netgear, etc.) all suffer from the same core vulnerability, they don't all use the same methods for transmitting password information. RTFA:
The authentication credentials, a password with a maximum length of 32 characters, are XOR'd against a predefined key. When sent over the network, the password is sent out in a 32 byte fixed block. @stake was able to determine the key by setting a one character password and monitoring the network traffic. This revealed 31 bytes of the XOR 'key'. The final byte can be obtained by XORing the obfuscated first byte against the first character of the plaintext password.
I learned that even (very) highly paid analysts can be stupid, lazy, negligent, incompetent, greedy, and even sometimes dishonest (I know how shocking that might be to most of you, hopefully you can recover from that)
One of the biggest lessons that I've learned in the corporate world is that 80% of the business universe falls in one of the catagories listed above. The other 20% are either unemployed or too apathetic and disgruntled to give a shit.
The interesting thing about this is that body language is an *important* part of lip reading. Facial expressions and gestures can add a lot of meaning to communication... I wonder what type of gesture recognition this system claims to have.
I believe that the majority of recently born puppies have a tiny microchip embedded in the back of their necks for similar purposes. I was shocked when I first heard of this practice (about a year ago), but I hear its quite accepted among dog owners. I can see the benefit for pets......but for humans? Scary.
Sounds of 165 dB would cause a person's hair to catch fire from the frictional heating caused by air undergoing such intense compression and expansion.
This is the coolest thing that I've read on/. in a long, long time.
why can't ISS post the vulnerability immediately and wait until it is fixed to publish the known exploits? This way system administrators have some time to react to the problem (turning off services, implementing workarounds, etc.). In addition, it doesn't provide the known exploits to the script kiddies until the patch has been released.
granted, this approach does open the door for more knowledgable blackhats to work on exploits... but its an interesting trade-off.

Wow. Some new humor on /. Kudos... I crapped my pants.

That's pretty sad given the original estimates from a few years ago.
Makes me feel a little better for buying the 3650. Now I own the second ugliest phone in the universe.

Isn't this a tad bit irresponsible?
don't get me wrong, I love the irony, but your network admins are having enough troubles on a Friday already.
Users must be aware of the Web's zeitgeist

All the geeky stuff. If you don't have a girlfriend, you'll be happy.

Excellent way to put it in perspective

To say the least, that's not going to be good for business
Competition is good for the consumer.

... to help computer makers develop a new generation of PCs and reinvigorate the stagnant industry.
Uhh... Last time I checked, the "stagnant" industry was getting a nice kick in the ass from the beautiful hardware coming from Apple.
The interesting thing about this is that body language is an *important* part of lip reading. Facial expressions and gestures can add a lot of meaning to communication... I wonder what type of gesture recognition this system claims to have.
Uh... You might want to filter out the "Humor" stories in your preferences pane. That or start thinking before you post.
Game boy's for playing games. The PowerShot's for taking pictures.
Thank you for the explanation Mr. Einstein
