Go to work for NSA and you voluntarily agree to basically waive a few rights (at least pertaining to your employment).
Go out and be a spokesman for PETA on your spare time, they really won't care a wit. Mention something even vaguely related to your work - say hello to the men in black sedans.
NSA. They will stop at nothing to punish whistle blowers... but not out of vindictiveness. They simply don't want info leaving their facilities, for any reason, right or wrong. It makes it far easier to filter information if your filter is set to "ALL".
My knee jerk reaction as well.... then I read the article (IR sensor is integrated in the camera CCD. Taping the sensor means taping the camera which (more) effectively does the same thing as the proposed technology.)
Got a job right out of college that paid (the then) astounding salary of $25,000 a year (yes, I am pretty damn old). Never worried about work that paid on the high end of the salary curve since.
While the mathematics were primary, i devoted much of the Arts potion of my degree studying the history of Mathematics.
Is that really side channel - by that I mean it seems to me like block cipher mode crypto on a per packet basis is being employed... which would make it akin to a watermarking attack.
There is no reason at all why students can't learn the fundamentals of a programming language (this is how to edit a text file, this is a string/float/integer variable, this is a function, this is the "main" function, this is "Hello World", this is how to read from a file, this is how to write to a file), some practical knowledge (this is a compiler, this is a linker, this is what they do), and how to use an elementary build system in high school (this command runs the compiler, this command runs the linker, here is your executable, here is how to run it, here is how to use tar to submit your work).
The above could literally be a syllabus for a high school class which if taught, would dramatically increase college into to CS pass rates.
I am not talking about "science" here at all, simply how to program using a programming language which frees up the professors for the more advanced topics. Preferably a language that:
1) is vaguely relevant 2) is taught in the intro to CS courses at that states university (which sadly could very well conflict with 1) 3) is free both in beer (not all kids are rich) and speech (the talented ones may want to look at the compilers code or some geeky thing)
And... professors reading this: with regard to Number 2.....your Intro to LISP/Smalltalk/ALGOL class is stupid. Here is a hint: C. Java. C++ if you are sadistic (I love C++ BTW but teach them C first). While other languages are relevant, the above 3 encompass 90% of what the student will encounter after college.
If the numbers didn't have a $ in front of them it would be simple.
However that $ makes the amounts have an affinity for the right side of the equation (but only when that behavior is beneficial to the one doing the calculation).
This property if $ has thus far defied all rational endeavour to normalize monetary calculations.

After all, at a minimum they had the same access to these networks that the hackers do.
As pointed out many times before.
Not really.

That was really cool!

I'd like to see the "normal user" puzzle over this:

Uh huh. That's right. Designing an OS can get a bit.... complicated.
Is not being successful (after nearly being utterly destroyed by Microsoft in the 90's) enough?
Hahahahawhawhaw.
Carry on.
Best of both worlds.

Balance. All things.
A decent post, but I find your sig lacking.

None of this shit is real, and when you die poof that's it.
But then again, how would he know? I mean NOW he knows... or doesn't know of indeed he is truly gone....
OH MY GOD
How about filling us in?

Keep it up!
UCLA.
Caltech.
University of Louisiana.
Reports of American research demise seem to be premature (looking at the names the team looks multinational - hard to tell just by a name these days).
Same here! Shipping can be a drag though.
I also note that many classics are free (on iTunes).
I thought it meant Carmen Electra.
>> Cybernetics is getting out of hand
Dat's a gude vun!

What I WANT to type, and what I SHOULD type, are two radically different things.
I can make a great case for 1.4(a), (c), and weak one for (b).
How do you know that they would not reveal any additional detail? Were you there?
That's what I thought.
Sort of like the NSA.
Shove your FOIA req up yer butt.
Say parts that are un/under utilized?
