most electronic doors still have physical keys to allow access for when the lock malfunctions. there is no need to put the port on the outside of the door other than laziness.
i work with various kinds of electronic locks. however i do not work for a hotel.
that is why most electronic locks still have physical keys. otherwise how would you open the door when the battery goes dead on the lock? most hotel locks operate off a battery. also what happens if the solenoid that engages the lock breaks? without a physical key, it would be impossible to open the door without breaking the door down.
They really should put the programming ports on the inside.

That is sort of the point i was trying to make. i like your wording better.
My current employer doesn't seem to take advantage of it and force a ton of overtime, but i see all to often that this is what happens to salary workers.
If there's nothing to do, I don't mind if you simply use the overtime to take a day off.
This is theoretically how salary is supposed to work. how often does that actually happen though? typically what is done is that if you have time to take a day off, that means you weren't given enough work and will soon find another project on your desk..
I thought that basically already existed through SEC fees. at least there is a few cents tacked on to every trade i make (on top of brokerage comissions). if the hft's aren't paying this, why not?
i have degrees in both Math and Computer Science, and i would say that you may need calculus (and maybe some physics) to understand how to derive the equations for those, but by the time it gets to the programmer those equations have already been derived and all the code monkey is doing is plugging the values into a static equation in his program. in most cases the programmer probably needs a passable understanding of algebra, but i don't recall the last time i required anything beyond that.
Eventually it'll suddenly become cool to NOT have a FB account, and people will turn to some other form of socialization online
i thought that happened when your mom and grandma started signing up for facebook.
one of the reasons facebook originally won people over from myspace because it was more exclusive, you had to have a.edu email address to signup. now they let anyone in.
That's great, until ISPs in the US start moving to a "metered" service. Which they are already doing.
meaning everything has come full circle. remember when many dialup connections were metered? (by the minute) that was one of the big selling points for cable & DSL internet because they were always on and un-metered...not to mention many times faster...
it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't know how to resize a window, a lot of users i see never run anything in windowed mode, they maximize everything. so it isn't like they are resizing things every day.
With GPS the exact timing of the message is critical as that is how it calculates its position. i suppose if you could retransmit the encrypted message on an extremely short delay and get it to accept your signal because it is the strongest one, you probably could introduce an error into its position calculation, and continuing to do this over time eventually cause it to go off-course.
that might be a bit difficult to protect against seeing that gps (at least for civilians) is one way communication. it seems even with a challenge/response such as the ggp mentioned, if the enemy can delay the signal by even a fraction of a second, by retransmitting a stronger version, it could throw off the gps calculations. This may even be worse than having it be jammed.
if your signal is vulnerable to a replay attack, then you designed your protocol wrong.
i recently developed a wireless communication protocol for a project i was working on, you could record and replay the encrypted signals all you want, and it would reject the replayed signal as invalid. you could take it a bit further and if it detects a lot of replayed signals it could alert you that someone is being nefarious.
simplest solution i can think of...send a timestamp as part of the signal...that time code should always increase, if it doesn't you know something isn't right with the signal and someone is trying to replay it...and if i recall correctly the GPS signal basically is a timestamp...so just do some validation to make sure it always increases, you can even compare it to your internal clock to ensure it increased by the expected amount. **unless you built a time machine

I never said i had an answer to that, i was just pointing out that the "flu" is much scarier than many people think.
i still don't get a flu shot.
the flu averages about 36k deaths per year according to the CDC. though the number swings around quite a bit year to year.
and that in 1952 at the height of the polio epidemic there were only 60k cases and 3k deaths in the US. according to this
so even if vaccines were never developed you would still be more likely to die from flu than one of those "stable diseases".

in other words it is like the little tracking image that spammers put in emails to try to see if you read it.

so...GLaDOS operates the system so efficiently that she gets bored and decides to kill everyone, mostly just to see what would happen.
Wheatley on the other hand manages the system so poorly that it all explodes and kills everyone.
seems either way you get the same result.

being picked up by the cops and thrown in jail probably also makes it difficult to post bad reviews.

Dear Stockholder,
Please disregard the last message. We have instead decided to give this years profit as a big bonus to the CEO.

I think that's called experience.
yeah, you just have to hit "C" to bring up your character sheet and then you can see your experience score and level.

biometrics are fine, this just illustrates why you need 2 factor security.

i would be more impressed if they the music was coming from the centrifuges themselves. anyone can make a computer speaker play sound!
something like this ghostbuster theme on a tesla coil or imperial march of the floppies
no, you see the US is just trying to unleash the RIAA's fury...hey those guys over there are playing your songs without paying! sic em boy!
A more likely reason to limit the procedure to one eye would be to avoid having to double the price to $120,000 for only minimal additional benefit.
that is why you get it done in one eye and then wait until generation 2 or 3 comes out to do the other. then there will be a larger benefit

we only heard about the sticks that were caught, not how many others actually got plugged in to a company computer.
