Yep, it's silly how people always long for these "direct" interfaces, even though we already have them. It's mostly irrelevant the mechanism, as long as we can go from thought to information across the interface. Now, when we have high-bandwidth ones that dwarf our current ones, it'll be different.
On the other hand when the higher level aspects of my brain think "Man that jogger is hot", it doesn't cause my arms to immediately turn the wheel towards her. The trick would be to tap into that part of my brain that causes muscles to move or things to happen, rather than that part which is constantly distracted by shiny objects.
Yeah, if only we had a device that could detect brain impulses that move muscles, but not ones that merely shift one's gaze or thoughts. Imagine what you could do with a whole matrix of them on a flat surface...
Apple is paving the way for its own music subscription service where it will, surprise surprise, face little to no competition.
So, I take it Last.Fm would allow me to run my own streaming service within theirs, and make money off it? After all, if they lock me out, they face little to no competition.
Gold allows money-based trade, rather than barter. Unlike fiat currencies, it is very hard to counterfeit, and thus devalue, therefore it can hold its value predictably for long periods of time.
That's why he said it's more efficient to do in hardware: no-op = just as efficient as non-encryption. Since you can't even tell it's not encrypting, everyone wins!
A side lesson from this is to avoid standing in the road if at all possible. If you get in a wreck and need to talk to the other driver, do so well off the road, on the far side of your vehicle. Don't stand between the vehicles and traffic.
A problem with full-disk encryption is that it's hard to verify that it's really encrypted on the disk. You have to trust that the manufacturer didn't cut corners and just fake encryption, or botch implementation.
Maybe it would be useful where one is doing lots of bidirectional transfer on the local-only network. As you say, most uses are highly asymmetrical, which ISPs depend on and why they give you so much more downstream than upstream.
Yep. By moving obey last, they can define damage to the device as all the usual things not allowed: reflashing, jailbreaking, installing your own OS, whatever. The three laws are ordered that way because only that gives the user control over everything except that which would endanger him.
The company set out specific parameters for what kind of vulnerabilities in which products were in scope for the rewards, but some researchers still submitted flaws that were out of bounds, including bugs in partners' products or in the Barracuda corporate Web site.
Who would complain that people are submitting more bug reports than asked for?!? They're getting reports for their website, without any need to pay a bounty. The problem with this is? Even bug reports of a competitor's product are useful in letting them know what areas are important to customers.
If a bank used an armored car made of cardboard to transport money, would you blame the inevitable robbers, or the bank?
I'd blame the robbers for stealing the money, and the bank for not securing it as I had hired them to do, since I know robbers exist and steal money. That said, it's not like banks are going around putting up money-dispensing kiosks that runs Windows.
And often (at least for me) knowing that others can benefit from my project is critical to even motivating me to do it. Knowing that the work I do can be built on means it's more worthwhile. Makes me look forward to doing Arduino stuff in the future.
It's all legit. The device behaves like nothing more than a human who can press and release the controller buttons in arbitrary patterns every frame. The kind of abuse of glitches is a whole other world with tool-assistance.
Since it's well-known that toddlers can break any electronic device, even if they have no buffer-overflow vulnerabilities, what will happen when the toddlers themselves are electronic? Will they spontaneously break, or be a super-race that cannot be defeated?
If it's just cheap and affordable you're looking for, take a look at the MSP430 LaunchPad. Less than $5.
The $4.30 (+shipping) looks to be a promo price, since you get the whole thing in a box, along with a mini USB cable. I doubt they would sell you several at that price. You get a device that looks to require the included programmer to modify it. With Arduino boards, you either have a USB on the board, or a header for connecting an FTDI serial cable to (or anything else that does 5V serial). The development environment is a commercial trial version, apparently only for Windows.
Once I get back into microcontroller stuff, it's a clear choice to get an Arduino-compatible board. It's going to be around for a long time, tools are going to be there, people who understand the boards, etc. Saving a few dollars on some obscure thing like this one from TI just doesn't seem worth it. For $13 you can get the Arduino-compatible RBBB kit which includes PCB, programmed chip, and parts.
Arduino didn't win because its Arduino, it won because it used a microcontroller that had already cornered the market.
That's how it always seemed to me. The bare-bones Arduino-compatible boards are little more than an Atmel microcontroller and voltage regulator. There's nothing surprising about this, since microcontrollers pack everything: CPU, Flash ROM, RAM, I/O, ADC/DAC, counters, interrupt controller, low-power mode. It seems that it's the complete package and network effects that make Arduino valuable. Each part of the package benefits from the others, and the standardization allows easy sharing of people's programs.

Why did I get modded down? I'm trying to come up with things besides "mods disagreed with my view" but am failing.

In other words, this is like shining a laser at a piece of non-reflective black material. I can't even begin to imagine all the uses this will have!
That would explain that gibberish grocery list I found the other day while shopping. Wish I'd saved it.

Bah, Chuck Norris would still be able to recover the data just by smelling the dust.
Why does this story have a surveyor's icon on it?

...it's the only way to be sure. Searching the web nowadays is like walking in a dog kennel cage: you're constantly stepping in crap.
I'm the exception to the rule.

Mine's even simpler than your attic: I just throw absolutely everything the / directory.
