Bluetooth products have to pass a test-suite. Not all of the software might have been tested or be able to pass the test.
I believe they still should be able to publish the list, they just should must avoid somehow to carry the "Bluetooth"-tag. Maybe Linux should just make up a fancy new protocol name like "Redbeard" or so for the protocol:-P
Things can get worse you know.. A self-stabilizing feedback system might not have enough buffers to "protect" the ecology if too much CO2 is released at once.. We are just nannites sown on this planet to dig for ore..
Paradoxically, global warming might lead to an ice age in Europe because the gulf stream will stop flowing due to a lower heat gradient. This will at least lead to harsher winters (which might call for even more fuel burning under the current housing conditions)
I can assure you bio nano-building blocks are not the least scary. I am working with them every day.
Ok, so it is a big strange that my left leg has turned a solid grey-bluish color, but it works just as well as the initial one and I've gotten used to it solving math questions faster than me.
Archie was shutdown because the authors of the archie software were trying to earn a living from it without investing additional work in return. The universities felt they were getting cheated and dropped Archie.
I'll try to correct myself on/. if the thread is still open.
I think the Austrialians need to go after those guys who invented File Transfer Protocal..
You are trying to be funny, but the US music industry really did try to shut down ftp (successfully) by taking down the Archie index servers. The funny thing is, at the time I wasn't even aware that ftp could be used en masse for distributing music without a license; the Archie index servers were useful in general. This means the music industry will have no remorse to take the entire internet down with them if they expect to maintain their profit margins. You may not even remember Archie because it was killed by the music industry.
"The attacks have been traced to the Chinese province of Guangdong, and the techniques used make it appear unlikely to come from any other source than the military, said Alan Paller, the director of the SANS Institute, an education and research organization focusing on cybersecurity. To go into details, the attack on U.S. military IT infrastructure was conducted by delivering physical force to the U.S. Air Force main router, by a precisely timed jump of an estimate 2 million chinese which was transmitted by waves through the Earth core such that a peak was created at the U.S. router. In China, only the military is believed to own so many precise clocks to orchestrate such an attack."
Well, I read the start of the professors write-up and it seems to mostly match the article on the website. I still occurs to me that a large number of bits could be extracted, e.g. if sent bit==receiver random bit then you know 0 (1 resp.) has been sent and that the only catch is that the eavesdropping equipment would have to be precise enough to record the noise, which would be hard to do if the noise level was made as low as possible.
Quantum communications has similar problems - that is the polarized photons one[cf. wikipedia:quantum encryption]; It is quite possible to eavesdrop on a quantum channel if the sender has to send with high redundancy in order to overcome signal loss; Of course you will invest work into having low signal loss in order to increase security, but you could do similar stuff with normal electric currents.
Dr. Laszlo Kish's scheme seems to be about having the receiver introducing a random stream which makes it hard for the eavesdropper to actually monitor what the sender sent. As an eavesdropper, you probably could extract some of the information in the datastream, (so, yes, totally secure is bullshit), but if the information sent is compressed or encrypted, it might be too much effort figuring out what actually was sent, because the fudging of your reception is not due to an encryption scheme, but to randomness. The scheme probably only works if the procedure is tuned well, but on the other hand it also has a steganographic component since you could send normal communications over the line while the actual data is hidden in the variance.
Of course, spammers will compensate by padding emails with 98% Shakespeare
Well, at least you would have an interesting read in you inbox everyday; maybe one could develop some sort of persistant distributed storage scheme involving spam:-)
The "Windows-Non-Media"-version already failed in Europe - its existance would only do go if companies could choose to sell the stripped down version on a whim and if they then would get a 10% discount on the license fees to pay to M$.
They were having some sort of virus protection already that involved disallowing certain file extensions inside zip files and mangling(!) files with other extensions (.asc) or maybe headers (MBZ)
Does it mean they are finally doing it right(tm) now, actually scanning for virii?

The site currently lists only Gnome, projects. Bounties range from 200$ to 4500$

In Soviet Russia, genetic code debugs you!

Now that I've read this article, I'll try to prioritize my procrastination as soon as I get around to it.

It's not a dupe, it's a replicating meme, like:

Indeed, and this would have been reason enough to vote against it.Youse can spam!
After all, it is not like evolution spent millions of years setting the human body up like it is.

None of these are anywhere close to Roger Zelazny's Francis Sandow. He was rich enough to own planets.
Hey, I own plants too.Just send microsoft windows(R)(tm) to one of the honeypots, and the defense network will immediately make the entire internet more secure.

Your "oldest computers" sounds just like the one I am using right now, except that I doubled ram and CPU speed already.
I just managed to sell a 66Mhz to someone, wake me up when you got an OS for that puppy.
