One possibility is a hardware switch which would need to be pressed before any firmware modification could proceeed.
I'm sure 90% of the non-tech-savvy population would just do whatever an important looking dialog box would say. "Please to be pressing the hardware update now for important fix!"
Bluejacking is just where you send a contact to available phones, and it just used to startle people. This is nothing to do with bluesnarfing which is the hacking/changing data!
It's not "over the power grid" in the way you might think, but just WAPs placed along the grid, connected via a fiber backbone. No IP is going along the power lines...
Nope - 404 is when you have the correct server, but the page is missing. If you can't resolve the server in the first place, you won't get a HTTP error at all - it's up to the browser / os to give an error.
It would be great if you could extend this with a PIC or something, so that Bob would be his normal self, but say something evil every so often to really confuse the PHB...
Or maybe a small RF reciever so he could be remotely triggered to say something evil? Hmmmm... I like that one:)

I think people should ignore both your posts! While I can see what you're getting at, the original poster was referring to the "compression" these drives are using, i.e. shorter pits on the disc, so the original poster's argument stands. RT(furry)A!
Brings to mind another perpetual motion idea: As buttered toast always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on it's feet..if you strap a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back and drop it, the cat will continue to rotate in mid-air in perpetuity.:)
You'd also have to make the sure the carpet was sufficiently expensive to ensure the toast *always* landed butter side down. And find some way of clearing up the cat puke.
I can see where he's coming from, but after reading that text I don't feel sorry for him at all. It sounds like he's just thrown all his toys out of the pram because no-one will pay him to work on his own project. I'm sure everyone here would *love* to be paid to do their own thing, but this just isn't going to happen!
Get a real job - in computing or otherwise, and if you want to write a "router on a disk" in your spare time, then go for it. If you don't want to, let someone else take it over.

Damn and to think I just bought a set of RIMMs!

Sounds like someone has a case of the... tuesdays!

You missed the punchline! ... "there's trouble a'brewin..." !
I had the firmware upgraded on my 6310i to resolve some bluetooth connection issues, and I imagine the whole stack is upgradeable in this manner.
I don't think the bluetooth protocol is broken - just the implementation.

In a car? I think not. Read the article - they are talking about one device to protect a whole fleet of new cars out in the open...
OK, I admit I was probably wrong... :) seems to have got you into quite a state though, mindstrm!

Still great though
I imagine that processors die mainly though being powered on and off repeatedly, than being fully used. Same for hard drives I expect.
I don't imagine it's possible to "wear out" a processor by using it. Course I could be wrong...

Well, that link suggests a Torino scale of 1. Not exactly much to worry about according to this:

Basically 0 is good, and 10 is bad. I'm not going to lose sleep over a 1 !
before I get modded Offtopic, take a look at michael's last four stories carefully...
Poor michael, he's being screwed around by his DSL provider... JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES!

I think the engineer who designed it went on a long vacation, and was never heard from again! Very strange!
OK. Those months would be... Jan, Feb, Mar, April, May, June. That's six. Are you counting a few hours of today to be another month?

Mmmmm... full screen ads! That what you'll get if you click thru to the article... but at least you don't have to register!
I wonder who IWON is and if they are going to profit from the inevitable slashdotting?
