What about all the patients and patients' visitors? They bring all this wireless crap into hospitals every day and I've visit people in hospitals several times in the last year and there was no concerted effort (nor even obvious signage) asking me to turn my equipment off.
Oh - got it. Thanks. I read the original as saying "somewhere every day some church preach this" -- not "everywhere every day each church preaches this" but re-reading it, your interpretation (the latter) sounds like the intended meaning. And I also disagree that this is remotely true..
Huh? If the new OTP is the same length as the reserved elements of the old OTP, why not just use the old OTP? I'm not following along.
I had always thought that you could not update "keys" for new OTP's via already exchanged OTP's b/c of this problem about length (you need an existing OTP of the same length as the new OTP you wish to transfer). You always have to exchange keys out-of-band (physically or whatever).
They talked about this at my catholic sunday school. It was a version of sex ed. Masturbation is a sin. I doubt I'm the only person who heard it from the nuns and priests.
Blago's max sentence is 5 years for his first (and hopefully not last) conviction. In reality he'll probably be sentenced to a year and do less. At least that's what I've been reading in the papers..
Help me out on this (really) -- I've seen a lot peeps on/. make the point you make.
After hearing it 15 or 20 times, I downloaded NoScript and installed it. And just about every site I tried to visit became totally or substantially unusable, so I uninstalled it again. What's the advantage of the thing if it prevents me from doing day-to-day basic stuff on the internet (from reading blogs, to online banking to whatever else)?
This isn't flamebait - I'm actually asking b/c I want to know.. Was I using it wrong (it was a scratch install, no config)? Any input?
Last I checked there are a pile of python and ruby websites out there doing fairly complex things -- are they all misguided? I obviously have an opinion, but I'm not trying to flamebait you - I'm actually curious what you think of that market segment.
I totally agree with where you're coming from on the MS way vs the OSS way (my experience in the Ruby community is very similar to the situation you describe for Java).
However, I have been bitten in the ass by MS on numerous occasions too and had no way to fix the issue b/c the library was closed. Even debugging was a royal PITA b/c I could trace into the lib. So there are downsides to the MS way too. I'd argue that both have merits but both have their unique forehead smacking downsides too.:)
Static languages are better than dynamic languages? Are you trolling? I'd suggest that such general statement with no qualifications is not helpful. Better for what?
From the best as I understand, the HS cross-connect to the faster machine is not the hard part of making a system that works like you describe. OS and hardware interactions are (protecting ram, etc) are the tough bits. Thinking machine went after an industrial version of this, and there are lots more. Oh - even beowolf! Wow, I used beowolf in a slashdot post.
This is just speculation, but I've been thinking that if they are interested in end-to-end processing times, passing trades like this would let them know how long their pipelines are taking to get to the exchange (they could have buyer bots watching for these trades to come into the exchange). Kind of like ping times, but deeper into the business stack of the trading system. If they notice times out of the ordinary they could adjust their real-time systems to accommodate in various ways.. Seem plausible?
From what I've read Windows *may* have backdoors for NSA, etc.That's different from monitoring in the sense here, in that Windows doesn't appear to phone home, it just allows NSA &c to break in when they need to. Assuming that functionality is really present. Given that FBI doesn't seem to have access (you'd think it would turn up in court records and discovery) presumably the backdoor is for very rarefied purposes.
Unless your app's legitimate/purported purpose involves those same API's.. Apple may make malware authors jump through a few more hoops which might be deterrent enough for now, but they don't strike me as running a service that can inherently protect consumers from malware (as opposed to software which Apple or other trusted developers might provide which is much much less likely to have bad things in them).

Yeah - true. GSM is horrible about this. My CDMA (verizon) phone never does it. Thanks..
Thanks for the clarification!

What gives?

Let me know if this is not correct please.

Can someone hit with me a cluestick:
If Firefox and Chrome are both compatibly licensed OSS (they are right?), why can't firefox just use Chrome's JS engine?
What am I missing?

I thought Townsend claimed he was researching kiddie porn for a book or article?
Troll? That's the nicest thing I've ever said on /.
Off-topic maybe.
I give up.
Ha ha ha. I needed the extra nudge. I guess what I'm saying in that light is that MS isn't going to someday patch that hole.
NSA has the key to the backdoor and we don't. Or maybe I'm not getting your question.
Presumably they figured out how to fab this on a chip which is the magic. And I'd guess they'll clean up all over with it..
Keeping the dream alive!

IIRC, parallel cables had much shorter max lengths (SCSI, parallel printers) b/c of noise at longer lengths? Am I misremembering?
