that is a simple one. The seaon one is born is affects people. e.g. baby's get more light in the summer in their first 3 months when born in the start of the summer.
In school the child born in march are a half year older then thos born in august, but are put in the same class (at the age of 5 that is is a huge difference. ) and will affect their behaviour.
The exception in the DCMA states "Computer programs that enable "wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset."
A console is not a wireless telephone handset, so that circumvention exception is not litterally applicable I would think.
Intel can put some minimalistic windows 8 on a next-gen phone (/tablet), but unless MS creates a cheap oem license for it will be too expensive to compete with a linux like license. For high end $500++ devices it is not a problem. but in the end they want to create a 200$ device as well, where a 70$ oem license will be a too big cut.
I disagree, PSN requires a certain firmware version. All sonly has to do is create a new firmware version (firmware can contain level 0 code) that does the the check and require that firmware.
Blacklisting the most common hacks will be enough to discourage coming online with a jailbroken PS3.
In theory you can create a hypervisor that is completely hidden like the blue pill hypervirsor, But creating a completely undetecable rootkit is not trivial, especially on the PS3 where you can detect such beast vai timing attacks since the difference in available hardware is small
Note that the hypervirsor currently does not do security checks, those checks are done by the loaders, not the hypervirsor.
I was also waiting for a announcement that someone ported ubuntu (ubuntu news makes headlines!) to the PS3 and created a signed bootable disk for a disk3, that has full hardware access.
with 400K per seconde het could only crack a password of 5 - 6 position.
Checking on WPA-PSK , you will see that the password via some hash function results in 256 bits key. to to check all effective passwords at 400K/sec = 9,2 * 1-^ 63 year, that is considerable more than your guess...
10 strikes per km^2 per year according to the article on lightning strikes. USA = 0,9 * 10^12 km^2, 5*10^8 joule , totals an energy of 4,5 * 10^ 21 joule per year which has a value of 2,5 * 10 ^ 14 dollar (Much more than the US military budget)
Humour us with an value that is made on investment on harassing such power and you will see a discrepancy.
PS, on atomic fusion a lot of money is spend because the investments may pay off huge in 40-50 years.
PS, yes humor.. you see, it is easy to prove anything with numbers.
On the other hand people who are more suited for marsian environment will stay there, people who are better adapted for marsian colony will stay there. (Just like some people who are better adapted to live at high altitude)
If this can be called a new species is an other discussion. This is kind of sensitive, since you cannot call people with an other skin color an other species currently.
Sony sues them for distributing circumvention methods and (?) devices. That is illegal in the DCMA
"Pffering to the public, posting online, marketing, advertising, promoting, installing, distributing, providing, or otherwise trafficking in any circumvention technology, products, services, methods, codes, software tools, devices, component or part thereof, including but not limited to the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (“ECDSA”) Keys, encryption and/or decryption keys, dePKG firmware decrypter program, Signing Tools, 3.55 Firmware Jailbreak, and/or any other technologies that enable unauthorized access to and/or copying of PS3 Systems and other co....
I would think however that part of the PS3 is not an effective measure since it is not an good implementation of de ecDSA algoritm. Number might not be copyrightable (maybe?) but circumvention devices are.
There are however some circumventions allowed (notice that on that page jailbreaking is legal on phones but not on video game consoles???)
If i was Sony i would scramble now to re-enable other-OS, to take away the "i am only re-enableing otherOS"argument that reverse engineers are now using.
As shown in the article an antimatter containment box will do the same job as a capacitor, and wil be a lot lighter.
Implemetingation is just a matter of investing money in it. Too bad that the current oil industry is blocking all advancement in lighting capture technology.
An lightning flash has an enery of about 500 Megajoule, which wil drive your electric car for 2000 km. No other fuel required, just put an iron rod on top and have a reload time of a few seconds...

about 10 years ago i got hit with the question if it was possible to deny root access to certain files. The root user had access to some financial tranfering records that he did not need for the funtion of administrator.
I Failed to come up with a reasonable scenario for this, it seems to be impossible under unix (that was AIX 4.2 i think) to hide some file for the root user. (and still to be able to access them from user space and to data transfer with them.)
SFQ implies adding an extra buffer.... and this extra buffering will cause the death of the internet.
The solution is that all hops keep a low buffer, and use the same time (not size) the buffer. That will solve the bufferbloat, but it will not solve other problems.
The description of the parent comment is correct, but it is an exaggeration, and exaggeration of buffers (to minimize packet loss) is exactly the cause of the bufferbloat.
I can see some problem immediatly: -There is no good QoS interface (at least not in winXP) for applications to set bits. -Misbehaving application (everyone thinks they are the highest priority, but in reality p2p file exchange should be low priority). That is an immediate reason to ignore Qos. -There is no incentive for ISP to follow this Qos Bits. You don't earn money by SOME serving traffic faster or slower.
by the wya, good QOS dos not solve this bufferbloat. large jitter will cause tcp/ip to misbehave on congested networks. (And QoS is there to hide some of the the congestion, not to prevent congestion)
No. There is no simple solution. ECN might help, but as the link already points out, it is disabled by most common implemnations. I think that all all hops need queue management for this to work, but i am too lazy to read the entire RFC.
I Don't dare think about relying on ECN in tunneled protocols (VPN).
I am not saying that ECN is bad, but it is a differnet discussion from bufferbloat. The problem is large buffer causing a jitter in the the delay. ECN might help in minimizing congestion, but if the end result of ECN is that ECN clients are slower than non-ECN clients i know what will happpen....
QoS does generally not work beyond the first hop. Your provider most likely will drop any QoS data. Some providers wil try to make their own QoS systems (e.g. to show a low ping). However if the lantency has a great variance due to all kind of buffers any algoritm will get the bandthwidt wrong.
QoS based on network types will get it wrong. For pure browsing/downloading it is relatively simple, but for VPN Encrypted skype udp traffic, game data it will never be optimal.
And as the blogger wrote, there is not a simple solution, because the end user has a "dad the internet is slow today" mentality. Couple that with a "reinstall your windows" helldesk and the solution becomes VERY HARD.
The temperature is not constant anymore if you add a lot of heath generating servers to the environment. At that moment you have to add warmth exchange equipment. In the Washington silo example someone thought of this, that part is missing from your tunnels.
I think the wikipedia is wrong. Audio on a hdmi is not on seperate pins, it is in the same bitstream as the video stream. Just that for DVI the signal is not defined, and might not be decodeable.

No, it can happen more subtle.

The parent in exaggerating, but wmem_max can be easy tuned up a lot maybe even to 1 GB.
TCP (or any protocol) cannot simply handle a large jitter due to extrermely large buffers.
If the network price is higher than ram prices, the mistake is very easy made to make the buffer bigger to reduce packet loss on a particular link.
SFQ implies adding an extra buffer.... and this extra buffering will cause the death of the internet.
The solution is that all hops keep a low buffer, and use the same time (not size) the buffer. That will solve the bufferbloat, but it will not solve other problems.
