Giving up on the US market just over not being able to use Java is unlikely and stupid. They will just find another dev language probably either extending Go or create a C++ framework. Assuming damages cover the already distributed androids they are fine to use java but for new version devs must rewrite their apps.
I’m guessing you are meaning the lack of persistent data. I mean that as a good thing for this distro; it appears to be designed to login to encrypted sites and access and send encrypted data from potentially compromised computers. You cant accidentally save or install a virus that could compromise all further communications for the sake convenience on a live USB disk.
Except with some useful proprietary applications with GUIs for encryption and making it difficult to have persistent data.
I guess the kernel has all proprietary divers in it so its more likely just work and support hardware but that also comes with the slightest chance that its just an excuse to get a back-door in there (thought if there is one; the other end does not care what you are doing).
Thinking about it I checked to see there was another only locally know number on SIM to hash it with but I could not see one on the wikipedia page.
If someone had have anticipated this they could have a stuck a sudo random key of reasonable length with no relation to the phone number to be hashed with the phone number and then providing a hash becomes a very good idea. But right now its a 33-34 bit key (someone might correct me) that can be hacked offline. And with openCL this is a few min and if its a short hash it might almost fit into 16GB memory (its more but not magnitudes more again could be wrong).
Don’t know how large phone numbers get in your country but rainbow tabling phone numbers seems rather trivial for anyone with a reasonable amount money. They can can probably guess the first part which leaves only about 10 digits (7 where I live) of combinations to try and if they are given away in sequence way less. Anyone know how long that would take with a modern GPU.
You would probably have to make the method standard so you could not use unknown salt either.
Just insert the month and year into your standard password assuming they are using a hash to detect repeats it looks very difference on the other side.
You are right (i now remember reading something) but would think there would be workarounds if there is reasonable demand to bypass DNS. I think any site with https has to have its own ip address and IPv6 may make this less of an issue.
Trying it out I would think websites may have to be modified or use browser add-ons, you can reach the website but it wont let you browse using the IP.
Don't over sensationalise it you will just go to a site that links (possibly using the direct ip address) to another site that has no 'illegal' content but is outside the US that has an IP link to the desired site. Provided the IP is static enough no DNS is ever needed. Just add more links as the law tries to catchup.
I would think this process could be made automatic with various scripts. Inventing a new DNS standard will not be fast enough to catch up with some obvious and already implemented web 'standards' and they will become the standard method of bypassing it.
I think the phone book analogy is pretty good here. It makes it easy but there are ways to bypass it like ringing up a mate who has the useful numbers written down
Of course it doesn't only apply on android they just picked a politically soft target to use it on because the patent is not likely to hold up indefinitely. I don’t think I assumed that it would be finalised but the on a mobile device wording that allows stuff that was probably to obvious to patented for desktop/server use to get a patent does makes it seem there is a chance that it could be finalised.
If this actually gets finalised (right now is just a PR thing) and HTC are forced to make changes does mean that the rest of the world will get a crippled android? Will they distribute two versions of the software at added cost to them or keep is simpler. (I assume this is legal my internalization patent law knowledge is lacking.)
Could this be how software patents get overthrown when the general public and politicians realise that US sold phones are inferior to what you can get in the third world or china and everywhere else.
Anyone who runs Debian should accept that they will always have crap browser options unless they install their own. Stable is a year behind at release and Sid follows alphas and betas and therefore testing is an out of date beta I would think. If the made sid follow the releases then it would be all good.
Looking at the pic of it again the player appears to be native and files added with what looks to be the chrome file browser which appears as a mix between FTP and a real file browser. Having a JavaSript player (it does not appear to use one) may not hurt the CPU to much if optimised but it defiantly chews up more memory than would be needed this may be noticeable on a 1 GB no swap system with multi tasking. Computers these days can handle music by its self with ease possibly even with JavaScript. How you design plug-in inclusion it just seems messy to have downloaded files being used for a cached app its not just a coding challenge.
And since my web browser is always open, the libraries are always loaded and the music player starts instantly unlike native players using qt and gtk Widgets which can be glacial sometimes.
If you care add it to your start-up programmes, i would assume that you could start them minimised to a tray. I guarantee that it you took a load time hit somewhere. Not to mention the reason for the slow load partly due to 'bloat' like checking to see if all your music is there before displaying it.
Obviously by local media player i mean one that gets its music from the 'cloud'. Because for something like a media player what’s so hard about making it native there is no good reason for it to be in the browser the API and required function should be able to stable enough that it can be done with a native application that does not need the JavaScript overhead. I guess you could settle for an indefinitely cached NaCl app but how do add 3rd party plugins work? do you download them and store them in a local folder or run a script from another site? A native application can still fetch lists from the web and display it on the screen and then request the song to play.
Most of the hardware is pretty well supported for a Linux install.
That's to be assumed at least with if you use a distro with a bulky kernel. What is interesting is how close to full support with negligible bugs it ends up. But if you can use the ChromeOS kernel then it should be close.
Not that i have used it but having to open up termial (or a gui) to extract a zip file (according to the review) is something that generally gets fixed before release. SSH has been cloud capable for years. It appears file associations are just not there though there not technically needed its generally a feature that goes in before the initial release testing. The summary at the end makes it seem like CromeOS is very incomplete.
You don't have installation disks or license keys since the OS and future updates come with the hardware. The OS just gets updated over the network and if your installation becomes corrupted for any reason, it pretty much self-repairs. The whole process is automatic and takes about 5-10 minutes over wifi.
Not on my wifi it wont (but that’s part of the reason I am not interested in the cloud). Redoing a small Linux install if you have a separate home partition is generally fairly painless (though is 10 to 15 min plus updates) unless you have heaps of extra packages to re-download.
The only real questions are is the licence is cheaper than Win 7 Starter (hopefully free) and how good the the out of box Linux support is? I guess it did bring back the SSD to netbooks.
A local media player inside a browser is just terrible. The review summary really makes it seem like CromeOS is still in alpha and not even close to feature freeze.
Some will have chosen to delay restarting just for an update but i guess since its a service pack things running better will be expected. I would expect a small window for a few. I guess its not clear but the last sentence was sensationalist. The casual nature of the post should have given some indication of it.
Apart from is a little difficult for the Russian to access it and least for primary infection this is a pretty bad exploit i cant remember worse for a while. Must have been a window for the FBI to gather intel.
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker sent a series of specially crafted Bluetooth packets to an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
Almost remote full admin access. Seriously how much worse can it get, guess your still safe from internet attacks but still.
Anyone found a page on the exploit, you can do the entire list of immature things to other peoples computers to all your friends with Bluetooth with this one.
Provided security is implemented properly (for the US the NSA appears to have good guidelines and tools to do this, but potentially have back doors for everyone else) it is limited to humans being tricked/corrupted by spy and DOS. It seems a lot more suited to (counter) intelligence agencies.
Unless you are talking about being offensive what’s the big deal about it, human error/corruption in not following guidelines is hardly complicated at least in theory and a 'kill switch' can solve the DOS problem. Winning a "cyberwar" is not even close to winning an actual war, if you start losing by anything significant you just 'cut the cable'.
These are wild monkey who picked up camera lying around, according to the article/summary which you did not read. I guess you would have to give it to the person who left the camera there but that’s pretty weak.
By my thinking since there is no valid author copy-write law does not apply.
I think its the marketing extension of military grade cooling systems that are on some GPUs and possibly other places.
Thought I doubt the observatory actually used the word to describe it, I believe Military grade actually means some part of our product exceeded any necessary specification for a consumer grade product and is unlikely to fail before another part. I beveller MSI used the idea to sell me my new graphics card after my 4850 burnt out.
If done properly its still far more secure than having your credit card in your wallet and typing in your pin in a remotely public environment.
I don’t know much but I don't think intercepting the packets is hard part for hacking a banking system to get money. Its not impossible to intercept data from copper wires and they have mobile efpos machines.
Im still not sure your not trolling address my actual points.
You have to look at it from the other end speech its not defined by if its reverse engineer-able or not, you dont read binary code left to right or another direction you jump all over the place and re read sections. Speech is determined by being it spoken/written not by the recepient understanding. Computers are in no way legal entity to be compared to a human and though a hex editor gives a lot of context programs are still just a big number (this has its own arguments associated with it) that was worked out by a computer. If you want to hand write binary instructions (for anything large this is terribly inefficient to create and the number of people who could make the code run significantly faster than C without unreasonable bugs would possible in the single digits, its not practical to code say VLC in binary) that you want to show to someone else I would guess you could test it court.
I did not call it a slur, i don't think it is and you were not intending to, you compared binary to Chinese and said they were the same where it counts for the argument. The main reason i called you a troll is you put and example in to help prove your point that does nothing of the sort but may confuse people.
Speech is communication that someone intends to use to convey information to another person (probably not an accurate definition) but if it is actually understandable by anyone or actually has any information is irrelevant. Legally speaking and by my definition you probably don't speak to your computer its just IO, its can become seeking if your communication goes to someone.
What is the relevance to your argument that someone cant understand something because they have no knowledge of the language? Its quite obvious and irrelevant. You were trying to make it support your argument buy picking a popular/. ethnic/racial marginalisation (that might be a little over the top and you may not have intended to). Is the sole inverter of a (programming) language not entitled to free speech because no one yet understands it (some lobby group convinces a country not to allow a new language to be developed)?
