Why are all these government spy groups in China and Iran using traceable IP's? Why not just send their spy to any place in the EU or US with enough money to buy a laptop with a wireless connection and do their hacking by hopping on unencrypted wireless networks? It's like spy's are getting ultra lazy and sloppy. Like with the assasination in dubi a few weeks back. Why were the spys caught on camera? Didn't it dawn on them they they should have taken out the camera system to cover their tracks so that no one would know. Instead we have them playing James Bond in plain view of the camera. Espionage is about doing things that don't lead back to you and leaves doubt about who did it and why. Malicous Hacking tip 101 Don't use your own IP address to do any hacking.
You need to find an SDK for the language you want to use opengl.org should be a good starting point. That and you're graphics card needs to support the version you want to develop for.
Given that the PC gaming market is really a joke compared to the console market I think DirectX is really rather meaningless.
When the Top 50 selling games world wide contains only 3 PC games The Sims, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft it's time to say that DirectX for the PC is over rated.
Since the Wii and PS3 use a custom modified version of OpenGL for their hardware I'd also have to side with OpenGL as at least being relevant to professional games.
I wasn't too sure what this "meta-analysis" actually was. From what I could find and what Wikipedia says this type of study is easily abused and flawed.
You're right but think of it this way. When some one must regularly go and drop off a bank deposit for their business the smart ones know to vary their routine that way someone is less likely to be able to setup a robbery. If you're tweeting your every move like "Having Tea at Ben & Jerrie's" then you're giving them the information that otherwise they would have to work for. This is really more then just robbing someones home in the end.
I would think it would depend on the USB key setup. I personally don't like running the factory software on them and remove it quickly. However, I'm sure some people do. And what is your firewall going to do if you tell it to trust the app or if the app is real malware and disables your firewall. Sure a tech would spot the behavior fast but a tech probably removed the software in the first place and never looked to see if it was transmitting data it shouldn't, and thus leave the unsuspecting user blissfully unaware that their tax document is being transmitted into a botnet because they said yes trust this app or never bother to check their firewall to see if it's on.
So the lack of Milk fortified with Vitamin D has nothing to do with it, and thus we must blame video games rather then blame people for drinking soda. For the lactose intolerant I'm sorry, for the rest you cant have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.
In Super Freakonomics it highlighted this trend a little better then just pinning it on Engineering Students.
In General, Krueger found, "terrorists tend to be drawn from well-educated, middle-class or high-income families." Despite a few exceptions
I don't believe it has anything to do with technology rather I buy what the book was pointing out that terrorism takes political motivation and College students tend to have plenty of strong and forming political opinions that the poor and uneducated just don't care about.
First this is the kind of patent that makes our patent system worthless. Patenting a Light Bulb = Good, Patenting a You're Fat Neener Neener Neener = Bad
Second, they have no real capability of using their patent unless they want to violate someone personal privacy. It would be like facebook posting my weight to the world without my consent, or forbidding me from removing it when I no longer want to expose myself. Shame only works if the user can't opt out and if the users cant opt out then it's a violation of privacy without exception.
Wouldn't that be Interpol? Sounds too much like big brother when someone asks for a police force that already exists. The bigger problem with hackers is they are hard to find regardless of which country they are in. Sure Iranian Hackers are harder to catch but with their bandwidth are they really a threat? Do we need yet another redundant police force?
Yes people are this paranoid. After all they really are out to get him. There's no way this could be as simple as schools having given up teaching people how to measure their hear rate with their fingers since children are so accurate when taking their own heart rate in PE.
Coming from the state that won't allow you to pump your own gas I'm not too surprised that they'd come up with a law to tax you for driving. Next thing you know they won't be able to take directions with out GPS. Poor gas station clerks are going to have to explain a simple map.
Actually the problem of pirating was two fold. It was actually mind numbingly complex to copy a GD Rom, but once one person did it and posted an ISO it was easy. However compared to the XBox and PS2 - You have to be joking. I can copy an XBox disk without having to barrow the CD Drive from it to copy a disk and there have been several soft exploits like the mech assalt save file that would allow you to play those copied games. Though if you kept your XBox up to date those exploits would never work.
Given that QM has yet to give an accepted theory for gravity which is easily provable as at least existing I'm not going to give it credit for proving reverse causation until it can demonstrate it occurring. The ERP paradox messes with the Principal of Locality not the Law of Causality. In fact the ERP paradox supports the Law of Causality as long as Special Relativity is still accepted.
However, for particle physics, neither direction of time is privileged.
Einstein's Law of Causality states pretty clearly that Time is Uni-driectional, and you'd have to present a pretty solid proof to disprove the Law of Causality. People have tried but short of building a time machine I'm pretty sure the Law of Causality isn't about to fall just yet.
Given that the PS2 still has a good number of units sold every month and is close to what the 360 sells they are probably thinking this is becoming a 10 year cycle or something longer. Nintendo was right when they said that more expensive hardware wasnt needed for more advanced game development. MS just needs to make their system cheaper and more reliable.
Actually Qwest offers statics and they are about as "national" as Cox (Which is really regional both of them don't do nationwide residential broadband). If you buy their MSN package you cant get them but if you buy there Qwest DSL Broad Band Basic package you can. Though they always try to con you into buying the MSN package saying it's cheaper but actually costs 10 bucks more just for that MSN Explorer stuff.
As long as you're not spamming and/or doing illegal things they need to back the hell off.
I agree with most of what you've said. However, most port blocking of email that I've encountered has been made to reduce spam email. One ISP I worked for blocked SMTP ports only when it was a dynamic IP. If the person was willing to purchase a static IP then they got free rain the set up an email server. The logic was if you had a dynamic IP setting up an email server was pointless since you could never guarantee your address when somone wants to send you something. The logic (right or wrong) continues until they believe the only reason for having an SMTP server on DHCP must only be for spam since you could never relyable receive. I'm all for net neutrality but most of the port blocking I've encountered is used to protect users from viruses or from spam. However, the speed throttling I've encountered has been used to hamper quality of service like torrents, and throttling me down just because blizzard needs to update is just rude of them.

True, but arnt all social networking sites about exposing your privacy online anyway?

Maybe they are trying to convince people to clean install when you have Vista by making it unreasonable to upgrade.
