I knew many very smart people who did marijuana. I would have thought most of them would have done more with their smarts but I see them now and they're mostly just getting by. They are happy for the most part though. Thinking about it I'm not sure if it's such a bad thing.
The correlation with motivation appears much stronger than any perceived or real correlation with intelligence.
For research, this seems invaluable. I'm sure it will help a lot in profiling real attackers right now.
As an effective deterrent, I cannot imagine this will be viable long-term. It seems to me that it is much easier for the attackers to generate more permutations than it is for the defenders to identify them. Will clients be able to keep up with matching against that many definitions? Maybe you only scan on particular servers, and because of the CPU intensive nature, you sell it as a service. Well, guess what? Everything would have to be decrypted to be identified, so then there are privacy concerns.
In the worst case scenario, your attackers run their malware through FPGAs to send a unique permutation to each victim.
Because if government doesn't get in from the start and set up the rules of the road (pun intended), you will have Big Auto cutting corners, pumping out death traps... (snip) ...It needs to be done correctly and there needs to be corporate accountability and oversight. That is exactly what the government is for.
I think you have it exactly wrong. The automakers would love the government to step in and provide guidelines so that when people die, their liability is limited. "Safe? Who cares about safe, as long as we're compliant."
No, they don't. Extremists always do more harm than good.
You're either saying RMS isn't an extremist or he has done more harm than good. I disagree with both views. He's pretty crazy on some things. But without him there is no (GNU/) Linux, and probably no free software movement as we know it today. Sure open source would exist, but not the legally binding licensing that has helped to keep open source open.
Dude wouldn't listen, and I gave up trying to educate him.
I was under the impression that sums up his particular strength and weakness. He isn't interested in the particulars of his grand vision that are impractical or impossible. With RMS it's always a "Damn the torpoedoes..." mentality.
The NSA probably helped add this "flaw" and promised to pay the TrendMicro CEO $5M per year hush money. Now that it is fixed, he will have to give up all that easy money.
Humorous, but the NSA aren't stupid and wouldn't pay for such low hanging fruit.
Where did you get "on the cheap?" I don't see that in the TFA or the summary. They just won't be able to develop an entirely new launch vehicle so they have to use more and smaller launches, leveraging commercial contracts to bring the costs down. They're harnessing the economy of scale, not taking shortcuts.
Outlook does what I want it to do, which is to just work, except in one area. I never get decent results when searching email if the email in question is encrypted, and encrypted email is pretty common these days...
That's probably because most regulations-compliant encrypted mail solutions don't actually send you the body of the message, they send you a message with an html file or a link to an encrypted webpage where the message lives.
Relentless? There has been one major UI change in its history, from the original File/Edit/View Menus to the Ribbon in 2007.
Actually, Outlook was the one Office product that didn't get Ribbon until 2010. (just do a quick google image search for outlook 2007 and you'll see what I mean).
You're forgetting the cost of the computer, both monetarily and in terms of setup and maintenance. The Rift could cost $50 and it would still be expensive for non- PC gamers. I agree with others. This is more than an impulse buy, but well in line with what PC gamers are used to.
I heard of an interesting possibility offered by a BBC analyst today: Of course this could all be posturing with full knowledge of the leadership. But perhaps the development facility is lying to the leadership about it. The leadership is completely crazy and demands things that might not be possible in their circumstances. The bomb makers might have detonated another fission device to buy more time, or simply to keep the disconnected-from-reality leadership placated.
Going further along this line of thinking: Perhaps the atomic weapon program people are sabotaging their own program. Better this than the crazy leadership bombing Japan or South Korea on a whim. They probably have the talent needed to develop a hydrogen bomb, but these people aren't stupid gullible fools anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they said "fuck that" and only pretend to have a hydrogen bomb.
On the other hand, you might do a lot of things to provide for your family, especially given the alternative you see all around you.
Even in the most speculative fiction humanity can only dream of such an end. No, most futurists agree that by comparison the singularity is a much more realistic goal than getting rid of lawyers.
The people embarrassed or inconvenienced will always say no even if it is "white hat" hacking
"White hat" generally means with permission, or without violating the law. Think penetration testers or other hired consultants. That's why this is about grey hat hacking, where the motives or the end game might be ethical but the means aren't entirely so.
The experts in the flavor of the month technologies
Infosec has been the flavor of the last five years. Unfortunately, recruiters still have no idea what they're looking for so they'll keep copy-pasting 'CISSP' into postings for every level of position, regardless of pay or whether it's a management job.
Imagine if Disney sold toxic chemicals to your kids with some addictive flavouring to keep them hooked. That's pretty much what the versions of femininity and masculinity it sells are.
All the girls are beautiful princesses whose main goal in life is to meet the equally perfect prince charming and marry him. The guys are all strong and square jawed, but typically a bit dumb.
Except they're clearly trending away from those classic tropes with films like Brave and Frozen. And I don't even know what to make of Inside Out, but it sure as hell doesn't support your assertion.
It doesn't take anywhere near losing half of a rocket's capacity to be reusable. Once the lower stage has burned through its propellant and lost its upper stages it's incredibly light and thus very easy to change its direction.
Isn't that one of the biggest challenges? Throttling your engines down that far and maintaining control?
Is that really a proper use of "Software Defined?" The term brings to mind "Software Defined Radio" (SDR) which involves using flexible software to dramatically change the behavior of commodity trans/receivers. I really don't see how the software will "Define" a vehicle in the same way. It's firmware.

All I really meant is that it is nearly always easier for the attackers to adapt than the defenders.

SOMEONE has to stand out at the extreme edge.
No, they don't. Extremists always do more harm than good.

It's like the Slashdot of old, circa 2000 or so.
Yep, before the first post even fell off the front page.

you know: a sports arena, school, etc.
If you can already sneak your explosives inside a building, why do you need a drone? Just drop it and leave. Or stay, if that's your persuasion.
We are officially in a worse period of music than disco.
You're listening to the wrong music. Who cares about Beyonce?

How about just one drone operated by a qualified party and everyone gets access to the information?

I am a big fan of the underdog and the fact that FB owns Oculus just makes me not want to touch it.
They weren't an underdog for some time prior to acquisition. They had raised $94 million.

That's all great but it doesn't help you meet deadlines. It's possible to have excess at either end of the spectrum, you know.
