The Summagraphics Bitpad was used as the graphical input device for the Perq. Rather than run a silly paint program, it allowed us to use the Perq as a CAD workstation to design the Perq II. Prior to that time most schematics were drawn on paper and netlists generated by hand. Graphical design saved countless hours and mistakes.
The Bitpad was fantastic compared to some of the other input devices of the day.
I hope the "second ammendment remedies" crowd is proud.
Where do you think the guns that fuel this bloodbath are coming from??
The guns that fuel Mexico's bloody drug war come from the United States of America, where we are apparently just a little too dumb for sensible gun control. I guess you never know when you will need an M-16 with a large clip to take down your own country's elected government. Nevermined the consequences or the fact that you would be dead before you even reloaded your weapon.
Since they are armed with military weapons, I guess you must be in favor of disarming the military. That would disarm 1.5M Americans with weapons. Or are you more worried about the 10,000 civilians who own automatic weapons?
That leaves the question of whether Apple is guilty of copyright infringement by using an illustration showing a screenshot of an app from another company. This gets pretty technical, but my educated guess is: probably not. The "screenshot" has obviously been redrawn with different fonts and slightly different icons, so it is not a verbatim copy of the original.
It's not technical. Just read the agreement that you signed when you put the app in the app store. See the part where it says Apple has rights to use images of your app for any purpose? There you go.
Let's suppose I'm Cisco making a new large enterprise switch. I outsource the design of, I don't know, let's say a large Content Addressable Memory used for IPv6 router tables, to Malco, a Chinese design firm that made a very low bid.
I plop the design in there and run the test suite -- all is perfect so I put the switch into production. Unfortunately, a Russian gang paid Malco to include a circuit that reroutes access to your IP address to their site so they can do MITM attacks and access all of your data.
Maybe 100 gates to recognize your IP address and another 100 to reroute. Easy to hide in a 1M gate design.
Villasenor says there are several types of attacks. Broadly they would fall into two categories: one is when a block stops a chip from functioning, while the other involves shipping data out.
There are lots of other possibilites. Some examples:
My Verizon phone (Motorola) has bluetooth, USB and microSD disabled so I have no way to upload or download without going through the Verizon store. I could pay someone to unlock it and risk bricking the phone. Adding the eFuse prevents even that risky choice.
You need a flywheel the size of the Library of Congress to do any grid scale peak power. Flywheels work best in data center UPS applications, replacing a room full of batteries.
The fee is being issued for storing information of people who are not customers of facebook.
This is probably the last we will all hear of this case, because the court applied German law. Facebook is US based, so if taken to court in Germany they'd have to apply US law. As a result of this Facebook can ignore the court's decision and nothing will ever happen. If i was in Facebook's position, i'd just appeal against the initial decision. The appelate court will most likely dismiss the case entirely.
I don't think that's true. If a crime was committed against a German citizen who was not connected with Facebook, how would German law not apply?
If the ATM makers are slacking and don't want to fix these vulnerabilities, they should be punished.... This guy has to put these presentations up on the internet and let people read it and screw those ATMs.
Mostly vulnerabilities are in the protocols. Changing them requires updating ATMs, switches and bank software. It could be rolled out gradually, but in the meantime they would still have to support the old protocols. Its pretty easy to find information on this stuff anyway:
What have we spent since? What have we "gained" in the war of terror? In terms of dollars to outcome; we have lost. Terribly.
I generally agree, but on the other hand it's impossible to say for sure what would have happened if we hadn't spent all of that money and effort. Would there have been more attacks? Were there terrorists who would have attacked, but were intimidated by all the "security theater"? (after all, if security theater is primarily done for its psychological impact, then there's not reason to think it wouldn't affect the psychology of the 'bad guys' as well) We'll probably never know.
Before 9/11 there was more visible security at airports than anywhere else. I had box cutters confiscated out of a tool kit at Logan before 9/11. The terrorists chose it BECAUSE it had high security. They made the point that they could strike and that there was no effective defense, which is still true.
As for airplane safety, that scenario completely changed on 9/11. At the beginning of the day, people's reaction was to say "How inconvenient" and let events take their course. By the time of flight 93, they had learned they had to act and did so. The air is safe today as a result of a few brave people's actions, not because of the millions of wasted federal dollars.
I know this is only a minor point, but I cook potatoes occasionally and I've never found them to have a uniform shape. Is this the best descriptive term they could come up with?
Given the advanced age of asteroid it should mean that it is covered with green sprouts and dark spots. Maybe they were out of cliches. We should send them some new terms for irregular lumps:

"Westinghouse is currently in General Assignment, an alternative to bankruptcy under California state law, and declined to defend itself"
"Westinghouse's legal team failed to appear for the discovery phase."
Sounds like the one person left answering the phone did not know how to lay their hands on the software.
Maybe you lack imagination.

Is this a joke? How many authors want to spend their time maintaining websites?
There's no reason to go to a doctor either. If you want to do it cheaply you just need to be willing to learn how to maintain your health yourself.
I stand corrected. The difference is that in fact there is no security bug and no fix.
I don't think that any security vendor says they are fixing bugs in their code when they publish a new signature file.
