This engine is unique in the fact that it will determine your external IP assigned by your ISP, and then use that to determine what city you live in. It will then automagically search the local job banks for the best private security professionals, and position one every 10 meters across your network.
It also has some very special features that allow you to choose exactly how you want your security team to look like, if you prefer mustaches or aviator sunglasses, that kind of stuff.
Also, forget Automatic Protocol Detection, they're planning on implementing Brute Force Protocol Detection. Instead of reading the headers or any other piece of data, it merely tries iterating ALL of the data through EVERY kind of protocol. This way, you can secretly encode messages using one protocol (Say SMTP) but send it using a different one (Say HTTP). That way your ACTUAL information can stay completely secure while the hackers are stuck with some Bogus Data they think they broke the encryption for.
(assuming they don't know what the secret comment is in advance)
Thats the kicker though. If its a single occurance (meaning a very rare comment) then it wouldn't be very difficult to hide it at all, especially if you are the one who programs the entire algorithm start to finish.
If it occurs multiple times, this "routing error" then the pattern is predictable, and they know -EXACTLY- where the problem will be. Testing with a regular expression and/or hashes won't change it one bit if you know what generates the error (the comment).
And I assume they want you to route the package to a specific location, and not just to alter its value - since that could lead to addresses that don't exist, generating some errors.
Man in the middle is merely attempting to read the information as it passes by. With Quantum encryption, reading the key could potentially change its value. (Hard to explain, but yes thats how it works).
An intercept and Resend is rather taking the information as it comes in, not reading it, but duplicating it (this would be the tricky part, duplicating something without reading it) and then resending the information out.
The programs will only get better, the markets and stories it applies to will only improve, and for the vast majority of stories the quality will be imperceivable to the average person.
That's an excellent theory. To support it, I propose that Kdawson is an automated program.
Every odd once in a while I'll be visitting some forum or news site such as this one. Then, unexpectedly, someone named "Weatherbot blah blah blah" spews off some hurricane or tornado warning for some US Region or another, with a bunch of interesting numbers to go with it. Barometric pressure, chance of precipitation, current heading, time of arrival, all that nice junk.
Now, when I look at the news today, anything political/entertainment wise is as predictable as the weather. Israel is declaring Nuclear Ambiguity? Britney Lohan got another DUI?
I wouldn't mind a concise, point form, robot-like news post.
And I, for one, Welcome our new robotic news reporting overlords.
But wouldn't that be as easy as testing for whatever the secret comment is (for example, top-heavy) - when that's true, set off a top heavy flag (boolean). Then go somewhere towards the end of the Example, for example the final routing stages, where the destination has already been set by the clerk and confirmed it - and alter the shipping address that way? Like say the overview stage where they clerk reviews all the information, then submits it.
I mean - to me, I cannot think of a single scenario where someone going through with a debugger won't be able to catch this on their first shot. Just put a watch on the destination values, and step over/through until one or more changes. Since its likely a large infrastructure, with thousands of lines of code, thats why I say sneak it in towards the end, since no one is going to want to step through the WHOLE process.
So true. Dealing with new printer toner cartridges, and you yank out the celophane strip, sometimes there is a bunch of toner dust on it, and POOF, nice black ink thats difficult to get out all over your nice white button up.
Oh hey, those dress slacks? Why are the knees so dirty all the time? Well when you're crawling underneath desks because you need to replace that networking cable, its difficult to stay spotless.
Oh yeah, one of the managers moved offices again and we need to move their phone number. I'll be in the dusty back closet toning the line, don't be too shocked if I come out with a dust bunny or two on me.
Seriously, for someone who actually has to move around, into areas that aren't clean, I think I should be able to wear whatever clothes I feel comfortable ruining. If you want me to dress nicer, give me a raise so I can afford nicer clothes more often. Simple as that.
Just FYI, never say "Something has been around since the 19th Century" - The difference between 1801 and 1899 is pretty huge, and it only leads to under or over estimation. Say 1860's next time.
And also, as a side note, their first electronic device was launched in the 1960's - so its not like their broad patent portfolio as a paper mill will really affect Apple too much.
The problem with that is that it makes it unbalanced. Not only will people want to be on the "defending" side since they get a chance at respawn, but it ultimately means that defenders will have a higher chance at winning.
Many games have those respawn timers, usually including some sort of flag or point capture (Battlefront, Day of Defeat, I could go on) - but these don't exactly make for the most realistic of playing either.
I'm glad Steve Jobs turned Apple into the company it did. Now that Apple PC's and MP3 Players and Phones are so expensive, I can make fun of those pompous pricks who think they are better than everyone because they have a certain iTem.
They do. They've tried this kind of realism before. Original Rainbow 6 and Original Ghost Recon come to mind. R6 was specifically designed, 1 or 2 shots kill, no respawns till the end of the match. Making it a highly tactical shooter.
Ghost Recon had the best of both worlds, where you could choose either a tactical mode or an arcade mode. Tactical mode slowly got phased out because it always boiled down into 2 people, usually snipers, prone, and craaaaawling around the edges of the map, circling each other. I remember one time waiting 30 minutes for a match to end (not watching it all though).
Basic point is - the style of realism they are describing isn't what people want. When people want realism, they mean they want the run speed, jumps, and other small elements to be as realistic as possible. Because realistic Death doesn't make a game much fun when the objective is simply to kill each other and it's highly likely that 90% of the players will die.
I think the point wooshed over you. They can set up the road blocks at the ISP's all they want. It won't stop the tech savvy, they'll find a way around it. And the tech savvy either teach their friends or develop apps to mimick what they've learned.
Point being, they only way they'll stop the communication now is if they physically stop people from talking or stop people from using computers. Which is, to the best of my knowledge, not practicle.
I refuse to watch it. I am not going to vote with my pocketbook that plot, craft, and character development don't matter
Plot is there, it's just not entirely original. It is standing on the shoulders of movies with GOOD plot, so it's not like the plot is terrible, just predictable.
Character development is rather well. You might not fully relate to the protagonist, especially since I was not in the military, but regardless you do begin to get inside his head (which might seem like a little bit of a pun).
As for craft, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Story development? Isn't that Plot? Or do you mean crafting the movie... Most people would argue that "Effects" ARE the craft.
Obligatory, of course, but everyone knows there are no girls in MMORPG's. The only RPG's a girl has been known to play, EVER, has been Final Fantasy, and they all claim that Sepheroth is pretty.
is is likely they will see them coming with plenty of time to respond, resulting in mutual assured destruction.
No, that would be mutually assured indestruction. It essentially obsoletes the entire idea of sending the rocks in the first place, if you they will have enough time to notice and stop them.

I might just be stupid - but if its emulating windows to run the game, why is that a problem?

"Even though quantum encryption is theoretically perfect"
And Communism works, IN THEORY.
Exactly. More proof that Firewalls and Antiviruses can never keep up with hackers.

"write short, readable, clear and innocent C code"
1. None of the above adjectives apply to C.
See, thats why its a contest. It has nothing to do with the scenario.
LoL - I know.

Public Static String default_Address = "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, USA" --- hide this somewhere
Private Sub Void Route_Bagggage(bag b)
{
if (comment.text == NULL)
{
b.destination = default_Address
}
else
{
b.destination = comment.text
}
}
Or do I have to make it slightly more deceptive?
I get up out of my chair and do stuff
Playing a video game while standing is hardly takes any motivation.
So true. Dealing with new printer toner cartridges, and you yank out the celophane strip, sometimes there is a bunch of toner dust on it, and POOF, nice black ink thats difficult to get out all over your nice white button up.

You've proven her point. We know what is happening in China. We read blogs about people in China. People who obviously know whats going on in China.
See how well they locked it down? Not as well as you might think.
I think the point wooshed over you. They can set up the road blocks at the ISP's all they want. It won't stop the tech savvy, they'll find a way around it. And the tech savvy either teach their friends or develop apps to mimick what they've learned.

And thats why you shouldn't clone dinosaurs with Frog DNA.
I'll be able to move faster, do more damage, and take more damage, all at a small cost of my health?
Fire it up!
