I would think this points to an exploit in SSHD 5.x, not 4.3. Once I brute-forced into a system, I would think the first order of business is to ensure I can get back in if the password is changed, not to patch the little-known exploit I used to get in in the first place.
Seems to only apply in 2d and for a single acoustic transceiver. Static 3d might be achievable with some work, but I can't see how this is going to work for any kind of moving object or multiple transceivers, which is what would be required to make this useful outside of an enclosed room.
I read it somewhere one time. Give me some wings and Zero-G, and I can use them to 'swim' if I can push enough air around. Would be even more fun with Small-G.
Through electrolysis, the Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI) kit generates hydrogen and oxygen, which are injected directly into the intake manifold. Published data show that hydrogen burns nearly one order of magnitude faster than petroleum fuels, thus approaching ideal thermodynamic cycle; and hydrogen has a shorter flame quench distance, allowing flames to travel closer to the cold zones, thus improving combustion. These hydrogen properties improve engine performance and emissions.
I recently did some testing in this area with a focus on Java app support and the suprise was the the new VoiceOver tech. in Tiger worked better than JAWS or ZoomText on Windows or Gnopericus on Solaris or Linux, and it comes included with Tiger for free.
However, of the packages I tested, JAWS seemed to be the most comprehensive, especially around braille device support, but you pay for it. They even charge for the eval version.

Love the quote at the end...
"The U.S. Army is very interested in this," he said, "because these days, the U.S. Army tends to go to desert states."
With any large roll out, if only one person is at fault for a fiasco like this, then the project mas mismanaged. They should have had a plan in place to backout the change.
Exactly how does one system's dependance on a critical infrastructure (the power grid) and it's failure when that infrastructure fails imply that it's not ready?
I guess they just don't build them like they used to. Almost all the every place I've been has homes close to or older than 100 years old. Heck, even my house is over 50.
Even with this technology, ear tags will still be used some places to control parasites/pests. The real meat here (pun intended) is the connection to a secure central DB that can track the animals from ranch to market.
If you honestly believe that Dykstra's relevance has anything to do with C++, then you missed the boat. Dykstra's work is still important because of his *algorithmic* work. C++ has nothing to do with it.
And in any case, what do think most of those applications on your computer were written in?

PageRank works. If your page is linked to by a large number of well trafficked sites, then you get ranked higher. If your some crack pot whose site no one cares about, you don't get a high rank...
In other words, Brandt recognizes that there has to be some order to Google's results, and that some sites might deserve to come up before others. He just disagrees with the way Google does it. In Brandt's ideal world, if you searched for "United Airlines," you would see untied.com -- a site critical of United -- before you see United's page. And if you searched for Rumsfeld, you'd see NameBase's dossier on him before the Defense Department's site on the "The Honorable Donald Rumsfeld."
Don't blame Google for equating accuracy and usefulness with popularity. It's either that or resort to subjective measures.
Why does Slashdot serve the.swf file with mime type "application/x-shockware-flash" instead of "application/x-shockwave-flash" ? Is it a typo on the server?
Why should their liability be any more than a photo-copy place "allowing" you to make illegal copies? The Kinko's around here have signs warning about illegal photocopying, but that appears to be the extent of it. Since there are plenty of legitimate uses for a computer with CD burner, I don't think that the cafe should be held liable.

A lot of e-mails have poured in from other sources and developers these past few hours. A call from an Microsoft employee also came in. The Japanese X-Box joypad should work with USA consoles. We'll confirm this tonight once our suppliers test the joypad with some USA games we shipped them earlier this week. If all is well, then our shipments of Japanese X-Box joypads won't go to waste after all.
Found a nice page with info on power lines and cancer. A choice quote...
Calculations show that the typical maximum power radiated by a power line would be less than 0.0001 microwatts/cm^2, compared to the 0.2 microwatts/cm^2 that a full moon delivers to the Earth's surface on a clear night.
> I'm just saying a niche won't support enough users for a company to stay afloat.
You do realize that companies in other niche markets include everything from Apple to Rolex. Just because it's a niche doesn't mean that it can be profitable.
Also, the most cited reason that the Palm PDA's did so well in the near past was that they were *simpler* than other PDA's. Shiny's great for the demo, but gets in the way and adds to the cost of the real product.

I just heard on AP radio that all of the major ISPs are being served warrants for any log files looking for a particular email address. Earthlink exec was quoted as saying it was not an Earthlink address, but they wanted to scan their logs for it.
Let me get this straight, they are going to spend $20 million on a system and their test plan for security is to invite some high-school kids to hack on it? Not to knock the abilities of kids in high school, but if it were me I would want a little more formal testing than that.

It seems like a sad day when a Slashdot article find it necessary to spell out what FTP stands for.

More likely the NRO. They are the ones in charge of the sats.
And without solar panels, you can make a stealth sat so the baddies on the ground won't know it's overhead.
Uhh, JBoss 3.0.0 has been out since the end of May guys.... This news is a little stale.
JBoss is pretty nice and Jetty seems really tight compared to Tomcat. If only there were better docs...
