If you look at the related videos to that one, you'll find this one which is in its way even more impressive.
All these sorts of things are out there... they're just waiting for the right kind of power supply. Even our best batteries couldn't keep these little guys going for longer than about half an hour.
Installing SP3 on my compy here at work broke the older Via Hyperion drivers I was running, specifically the AGP/PCI bridge. That had the effect of disabling my video drivers as well as hibernation support. Fortunately, just downloading and installing the newest Hyperion drivers fixed that.
The microwaves would induce powerful currents in all the metal in and on the plane. I would say the result would be unpredictable but decidedly non-optimal for anyone on board.
An interesting problem with doing this comes from an unexpected source: noise. Most of the PCs I've set up here have fans that spin faster the warmer the machine gets. When the CPU is pegged at 100% for more than about 5 minutes, the workstation sounds like a Harrier lifting off. Now imagine an entire building full of these...
I can detect 4 of these routers from inside my house, all using the SSID 2WIRE. There must be tens of thousands of these things out there, the vast majority running the default, unsecured configuration...
Repeat this sentiment, loudly and clearly, at your nearest US truck stop. I think you'll find some people that disagree with you, and reap the benefits of their courteous explanations.
That's great. I wonder how long it will be before the XM receiver in my car becomes worthless? I love the reasoning given by the government here. You'd swear that there was no investigation done at all, but of course that can't be true.
Bear in mind that if you get raided, you will lose all of your computer equipment and everything that can connect to the internet. This includes your Wii, XBox, PS3, as well as digital cameras, PDAs, cell phones, and of course your desktops and laptops. In other words, all the stuff that "we/.'ers" live our lives with. And even if you're not found guilty, your name will be in the paper in connection with the words "child pornography", because the news media (particularly local media) eats this stuff up with a spoon. Regardless of the verdict, people will know your name as the "guy who got raided for child porn". Good luck finding work again. Also, regardless of verdict, many people who have their stuff confiscated never get their equipment back. Most likely your shiny new laptop will end up in the police chief's son's bedroom.
That's quite a risk to take, just to run an open wireless network. If you want to take it, that's fine, but THIS/.er sure isn't going to. You don't have to bow to the government, but it can still make you bend over and grab your ankles.
I think its wartime (and peacetime) uses will increase once they're got that engine quieted down. Right now, if I recall, the buzzing engine provides electricity for the motors in the legs. Notice when they've got it hooked up to its harness, it's pretty damn silent. They need either -really- good solar cells (possibly better than exists today), really good batteries, or maybe just a muffler...
No need for docs, just a need for regmon and diskmon and a couple hours of time to mess with it. Of course, that's assuming that the software doesn't just cycle through all the HKLM keys until it finds the one it's looking for...
Or an admin who has looked up the file and registry permissions required to run the shoddy software (shoddy, yes, but also provided by manufacturer and the only way to do business) and found that said software requires the admin to essentially open up the entire HKLM branch anyway, thus granting local admin privileges available in fact if not in name. Welcome to the wonderful world of car dealerships.
That was my first thought as well, although I think I've only seen my name on the Amazon "Donate to this site" buttons that some people use alongside Paypal.
I can say with second-hand experience (my mom used to work at a zoo) that lion cubs purr. My understanding is that they taper off purring as they reach adulthood.
And do you really think that any of the programmers you just named (or others of their caliber) would be attracted to an advertisement or company that refers to them as "superstars"? Honestly, now.
Works great until they chain you down and start hammering bamboo splints under your fingernails because you won't tell them which volume is the correct one.
What, you mean no one has high-orbit satellites searching for low-orbit satellites silhouetted against the bright surface of the earth? If I were a major world government, I sure would...
Yeah, just install the VMWare management console (not the whole server) on another computer and you can remotely control your VMWare server, view the sessions, etc. It's network-intensive but it works quite nicely.
Just FYI, you don't need IIS installed to use VMWare server. You only need it if you want to use a web-based interface. The VMWare management software quite happily connects to remote VMWare services without IIS being installed.

Other than that I haven't seen any problems.

All that iocaine must be affecting their thinking.

If I run nmap -A on the Cyber Command website, they want to be able to make my head explode in retaliation. With "cyber".

And that's a great idea, until you end up with a piece of required software that refuses to run without local admin privileges on the computer...

Stop calling expert programmers "superstars".
Fear mongering sucks. We're a better nation than this.
Apparently we are not.

No, I just thought of Ikari Warriors.

If I copyright the images of my retinas and fingerprints, can I sue the governments for keeping a record of it without my permission?
