hm, what about using some simple LED light that would act as a button for Kinect?
but, I think Kinect is too complex and it probably 'slows down' CPU due to processing. and lag is probably unavoidable.
We should harness the free market and build a system that takes inputs from whatever security feeds users subscribe to and weight those security feeds based upon the end user's preferences. Also, we should be able to override the choices for any given case.
I think they have a good system at http://www.virustotal.com/
users have ratings and leave comments. too bad it wouldn't work for large files. but we could use hashes for them.
but would having MD5 and filesize make it harder to produce collision? iirc, torrents for eg. use chunks of known size.
also, I always wondered: is it possible to make a (let say textual) file that contains correct md5sum of itself! (kinda recursive)
what if they do find 'theory of everything'? Would that mean destiny exists? If so, I hope they fail. It seems to me the worst thing would be knowing precisely what will happen.
yes, sorry. I remembered that after clicking submit..
another one to consider is Jetico Personal Firewall, but I'm not sure if its free either.
anyway, if someone paid for windows, it seems reasonable to pay little more for such an important piece of software like firewall.
I'd add Look'n'Stop firewall. it seems to be very good, because its lightweight and has 64bit version. thankfully it does not work as antivirus and all that.
you mentioned WIPFW. thats probably the best/fastest of them all. but its not easy to install 64bit version of it, and takes a lot of knowledge to configure. also, iirc, that kind of firewalls don't support blocking by application, only by protocol.
well you could ask the same question about airplanes.
besides there is not such a big difference between 'mechanical' and 'electrical', they are all machines. and both can fail if designed wrong.
I disagree, what we really need is a way to take people off drugs and stop healthy ones from ever "trying it out". there must be some kind of cure.
the real problem is the destruction that drugs bring to brain and body of an addict, and their lives.
Slashdot Mirror
thankfully that fancy new version will be available from official repository for Debian stable in about 100 years or so..
I want to own the word "bird"..
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word

if I remember correctly, Tasword on ZX Spectrum used something similar.

I guess you could also say that old OS version sucked, and needs replacing every-so-often..
you are wrong, if they don't think about legal troubles, they might one day start inserting javascript viruses or something.
The whole idea reminds me of "Data Execution Prevention": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention and "restore points", etc.. :rolleyes:
yeah, that worked great
I concur, its a waste of time. There is nothing useful about it and probably never will be.
I disagree, big pixels are not so bad, esp. because the price for higher DPI is probably poor colors, contrast..
similar to cameras.
you didn't gain any either, while spending money.
just connect him to lie detector, and start asking questions: "is the first letter 'A'?", is it 'B'?, etc
granted, it will take a while..
ooh, perhaps one day they will read all emails and delete the ones they consider SPAM? one can dream..
its the master key for the upcoming DRM, already broken ..

not just him, all scientists so far haven't found it, and they've been looking hard..
but 386 probably uses a lot of electricity compared to newer CPUs.

um, 'cause its cheaper?

I mean, anyone can program them to go to 20000th floor and we could end up in orbit or something.
