HFT are taking the money from former market makers (brokerage houses) and splitting it between them and the little guy.
The average investor makes out BETTER with HFT than with the older market.
They are making the spread smaller and get money because they are the market maker.
wikipedia: "A zero-day (or zero-hour or day zero) attack or threat is a computer threat that tries to exploit computer application vulnerabilities that are unknown to others or undisclosed to the software developer. Zero-day exploits (actual code that can use a security hole to carry out an attack) are used or shared by attackers before the software developer knows about the vulnerability."
The key here is that was not "undisclosed to the software developer".
As to others, it was disclosed before there were actual live working attacks.
I've been involved in several software vulnerability disclosures. Non of these I would consider a Zero day. For example, disclosing a problem with major banking site... This was after 6 months of them ignoring me.
Yeah, WTF. Can they please show one existing phone on the market with flash running well?
And, if they had 800M phones with flash, why are they worried about the 50M iphones that don't run it?
I'm thinking that Adobe really pulled a fast one one Business Week interview to get a claim like that in there.
What kind of solar panel is this? PV? Solar Thermal I guess would make more sense.
Why would they not just spray the dye on at the factory? Does the dye degrade? Wash off in rain?
If it's good for Africa, is it also good for everywhere else?
It sounds like they were clinging to straws to tie in the manufacturing of the product with something local in Africa.
You just have to use the VNC client and connect to your favorite machine.
You can also run all the native windows applications and such.
The ipad is a great remote display and interaction device.. it doesn't need to run flash natively.
I've seen no claims that it "could be far more efficient" than natural gas power plants. Current combined cycle natural gas power plants (turbine and steam heat recovery) get near 60%. Meanwhile, fuel cells, along with consumer grade natural gas power units are around 30% efficient in practice. I've heard no specific claims of their efficiency, but I don't imagine that it's over 60%. While it would be a great improvement on home fired units, it's by no means revolutionary.
In fact, the complete lack of data they showed is a huge red flag, and I won't even be trusting their claims until they are independently verified.
Actually, I think the question here is: Can you remotely turn on the security camera of your laptop if you believe it's stolen? Even if the laptop is stolen, it doesn't necessarily give you authority to monitor someone's personal life. (maybe the laptop was resold to an innocent 3rd party?) PA actually has the strictest anti audio surveillance laws in the country. Absolutely no recording of audio with out everyone's permission... Though, I'm guessing it was made before video cameras were everywhere.
I came here to say just that. There is a lot of javascript / dhtml sites that use it. There was an advanced html 5 image editor, that was shown as an example of why you don't need flash. The thing is, it just doesn't work well on iphone. Touch and drag on the iphone tries to move the page, it doesn't allow lines drawn or drag and drop things to be moved. Until there is a way to "page lock" or other solution so that drag works, many functions on the iphone or any touch device will not work.
I liked it, and there wasn't much like it for portable devices.
I'd agree that most people didn't like it or understand it.
I definitely saw the potential. My further prediction is that the app store will move into the tablet and desktop areas.
Well, some people knew. I knew.
I was using a Nokia n90 at the time the iphone came out. Even it had an app store. It of course was a great idea, but the iphone wasn't first... Then started jailbreaking the phones and the AppTap store came out for the iphone... way before Apple did.
Uh, yeah. Comcast switched ads on non domains.. and i'm sure they are datamining it too. Unfortunately, I trust google more than comcast more than some independent group with open dns.
Yes, thank you. I really hope that ClimateGate and Open Source can convince those publishing to open up.
While I do think there is climate change, I think that many of the "disaster scenarios" are over hyped.. and I think that Gore and his "it is all already completely decided everything I is fact and no reasonable scientist can argue with me" is bullcrap.
Once they are patented, they aren't secret anymore. It looks like B&N might have been using those secrets to develop something, but I don't think the idea of a dual screen is all that revolutionary.. only slightly different format than some handheld games.
why don't they just try a 1km ground based test first? I can't imagine this is safe for the chopper. Much needless complication for testing the technology.
All of those, including blogger, can easily become full lifetime occupations. Blogging especially requires a lot of start up time. They want you spending time looking for work, not starting a business.
Am I the only one here who didn't try to claim unemployment benefits when working on my online business when unemployed?
What's considered a blog? Is a twitter message included? What about facebook status updates? Affiliate links? It seems that almost every message that mentions a product on sites that make money will now have to include a disclaimer.
that this is just some sort of reverse logic... because now, anyone wanting to hide details of sec exploits are thrown into the group of these "nasty hackers"..
I mean, it's mostly only big corps that are for "non-disclosure".. the rest of the free world wants to know!
Is this nation worth saving? It can't produce a programmer that can write a "SELECT" statement in 5 years of computer science training! Ill informed graduates need a serious lesson in "real life" and need to return to their collage with this results and protest.
You're thinking of worms, not viruses. Viruses do not need to be able to 'broadcast' to spread. They spread via contact or in the old days, infected disks.

Zero Day attacks are when you have NO warning, and they are in the wild before you even know about them.

Build up your skills and portfolio.
My first job interview was mostly just showing off the websites I built.
Elance will let you get paid and will give you a better sense of what real work might be like.
I know. Sometimes you wish that slashdot has a real editor for the homepage.

No details on how they made it, or how feasible it will be to scale up.

I remember a similar x10 kit that was like $10, and had lots of free software.

That's like the power of my car.. 268 hp.
