It specifically targets any cell attempting to produce long, double-strand RNA. As far as I am aware, there are no natural processes other than virus production that use this particular means of genetic reproduction.
Once a cell is virus infected with this type of virus, it is already dead. If you can kill it before it replicates a bunch more virus material, you stand a much better chance.
But to be fair, this drug will only handle certain types of viruses (specifically long double-stranded RNA viruses). Fortunately, many of the nasty ones are of this type.
The virus marker in question is the production of long, double-strand RNA. This is not something that ever happens in a healthy cell, and I don't think it happens in cells that contain dormant virus material (such as herpes), which I believe are stored as DNA fragments during their dormant period.
Only the payload is encrypted. You can set the deauth flag in any packet, regardless of encryption status. That's actually one of the fundamental flaws of the concept, but it really does simplify implementation a great deal.
It's also a common attack if you want to capture some handshake data in order to begin password cracking of WPA. Simply execute a deauth of the client and most clients will immediately try to reconnect, hence, handing you the handshake you need to begin cracking.

Military grade and can stay aloft more than 7.2 seconds, while capturing realtime HD video that can be transmitted to a cool pair of goggles on the ground.
Plus, you can whip it out of a backpack in 10 seconds.:-D Cool!
Also, keep in mind that 2.4Ghz is unregulated. I can step on channel 11 at the same time as you do and block your signal by simply downloading torrents with a bigger antenna. That's also legal.
So is using a microwave, which may essentially jam wireless signals too.
It doesn't cause any spectrum interference, so the FCC would not be involved.
What it does is issue spoofed "deauth" packets repeatedly to any endpoint that attempts to connect to a network that appears within the facility.
Basically, this may be akin to a DoS attack, but in general, it is wise for an organization to implement these VERY carefully to ensure that the signal is actually from within their wholly owned facility, or they could be liable for damages to the user.
However, within their own facility, it is a legitimate means to prevent unauthorized (rogue) access points.
The "socialist" countries like Sweden and Norway were running a healthy surplus during the economic booms of the last decade and are not in serious trouble now, despite running a deficit during the recession. We looked like we might have a surplus a few years ago so we cut taxes in response. That wasn't smart.
Because our income is tied directly to economic health and GDP growth, we MUST run a surplus during the best years, because we ALWAYS will run a deficit during down years.
The problem is that from 2000-2008, we had great income and racked up spending to match.
There is some pretty solid evidence that during the best years, you should cut spending... but during recessions, its beneficial to increase it slightly to counter slack in demand in various sectors. A responsible businessman recognizes that during a recession is the PERFECT time to (for example) renovate your house, because rates are lower, labor is cheaper, etc. But that's only possible if you've been saving during the good years. The government should operate the same way.
Unfortunately, what they did was increase spending (and decrease revenues) during good years and then when they tried to accomplish things during down years, it looked really really bad.
You could tax everyone who makes $1m or more per year (you know, the evil hated rich people) at a rate of 100% (confiscate all of their earnings for the year), and it wouldn't close the deficit - not even close!
You are misinformed. I'm not sure it from the television or radio, or something you've read, but I encourage you to look at the numbers.
Actually...... the top 1% of earners filed tax returns reflecting $1.65 trillion (about 20% of taxable income for the year). This is far larger than the deficit of $1.2 trillion. Certainly there is no suggestion to place a 100% tax on this 1%, however. That's a red hering designed to evoke an emotive response, but it's not true, so... kudos there.
It might be worth pointing out that the top 20% (myself included) own over 85% of the assets in the United States. Currently, the top 20% pay about 78% of taxes.
I don't see any problem here and I have no issue with marginal rate increases on this top 20% (and especially the top 1%).
The actual marginal federal tax rate on the top 1% is somewhere around 18% of AGI. That's the lowest in the world, bar-none (excusing Somalia and Ethopia, of course).
I've done consulting work on a dozen or more large retail implementations. I could have someone email you if you're interested in talking with sales peoples (I'm certainly not one)
Channels 12 and 13 are technically allowed only with smaller output. A normal convention hall router would exceed these specs substantially, but for a limited-power small substation, channel 13 would be worth a try. While slightly overlapping with channel 11, you should have sufficient breathing room to convince a connection to stay enabled.
It might be worth considering. The people who are designing buildings like this are senior partners in their respective firms. They graduated 30-40 years ago, when the USA still had a pretty substantial lead in educational standards.
The people doing poorly on today's standardized tests are only 15, after all.
i don't imagine it's someone who is running a background check (like a prospective employer), but rather, the scores of customers who might be trying to look up your phone number, or the neighbor who wants to get to know you before he drops by for dinner, or a new girlfriend looking for your facebook...
Who knows... There is a danger in information being too pervasive.
That first sentence (having read it again) is full of fail. SAP, marketing suite, or HR solution, certainly not marketing your HR data or using SAP for something other than business intelligence.:-)

I don't think it's like antivirus on a PC....

Yeah, that sounds a lot like HIV.

It's a very interesting discovery.
This is one of those instances where I must assume that there is something that I am missing.
If not, it is one of the biggest medical findings in history... Period.
It's the "other half" to the discovery of penicillin.

Can it maintain a hover hands free in 30 knot winds with an inexperienced pilot?
Can it be pulled out of a satchel that can be (literally) sat on for hours before being deployed.
Does it have 30 minute airtime and carry a mechanically-stabilized SLR-quality rig?
Can it carry a broad spectrum IR camera? How about a night vision camera with an integrated infrared spotlight?
Hmmmmm.... :-)
Wha?

Actually about 40% is what they're calling "structural shortfalls"... meaning... things like recession lowering income and increasing benefits payout.
Presuming the recession goes away, 40% is soaked up right there.
Running a deficit during a recession is EXPECTED, but that means we have the run a surplus during good years.
Last time we had a surplus, the republican congress voted to send everyone a check for $800 instead of pay off the debt. Whoops.

Care to explain where your numbers come from?
Active Directory cached credentials are salted. I've never seen RT files for anything other than the "administrator" account. It's a non-trivial hash.
But your point is valid.
What if the tool they are selling is a wifi doohickey that, under normal circumstances, is great for casual consumers.
But at a trade show, demonstrating said product is very difficult.
Understanding the requirements before attempting implementation or cancelling the budget is certainly prudent.
There are plenty of security devices that support disabling unauthorized access points.
Aruba is the best at it. An ideal corporate configuration would be an entirely centrally managed Aruba network. It has this all built in.
However, you can google the concept of a WIPS and employ one of those.

The 5.4Ghz spectrum is also in the 802.11n spec and a lot of newer n gear supports it. It's worth a thought if possible.

Really? I just did some searching for astronomical observatories in downtown Chicago and could not find any.
Do you have a reference? Maybe I missed it.
I have a prospect for a 10-fold return on investment.
However, the odds that it will pay out are very unlikely.
Will you invest?
What if I say please? :-D
