An ATM at a branch of the bank that I worked at developed a fault wherein it incorrectly reported its location. A guy used the machine while on a business trip. When his statement arrived it looked as if he had been somewhere else at the time. His wife accused him of lying and having an affair.
Eventually the bank was contacted and the fault confirmed, but by then the statement data had been archived to tape. We had to patch the archive statement suite to check each and every archive statement transaction request for the erroneous one and then modify it on-the fly to return the corrected information. The patch stayed in for many years until the data was migrated to new archive devices, when the data was permanently corrected.
Of course that was just one single transaction. There were probably hundreds that were wrong and who knows what happened in all those other cases.
He probably means that they are using something like a 30 bit hash. If so then the odds of changing the binary without changing the hash are about 1 billion to 1.
And get this: only one-third come from inside the U.S. The rest are in 88 other languages.
So what is that supposed to mean? Only the english language is used in US searches or that outside the US there are no english searches? Maybe the assumption is that an english submission must be US-based.
I stopped reading the article at that point. I'm like that. Maybe I have some kind of disorder.
As mentioned in "Encounter at Farpoint". If the uniforms can monitor health and apply tourniqets, it is only a small step to being able to administer pain relief medication and then go even further and supply a surge of adrenalin immediately prior to battle, followed by a sedative once fighting has ceased.

I've never played one of these games so I don't know how sophisticated they are but, aside from the actual fraud that has been (allegedly) committed, if the guy concerned had a UO account of his own, it would be interesting if his character could be placed in confinement (with guards) and not allowed to leave and resume normal activities for a period of time.
Ah, but the more networks he hacks the better the case they have against him. They may have known about him for a while and have been watching his activities. Then as soon as he has clocked up enough penetrations, or is getting a bit too close to sensitive data - WHAM!
As a Linux newbie I don't really understand what that comment means.
Is it that some versions of the Kernel are better or worse than others (e.g 2.5.2 is better than 2.5.3)?
Or does it mean that some distros of Linux (even with the same kernel version) are better or worse than others depending on how the kernel was patched, built and configured by the supplier?

It has some limitations (e.g. source files not interchangeable with paid-for version, watermark on each image, no plug-ins, resolution limits), which would inhibit its use in a commercial environment but allows you and I to get valuable hands-on experience.
>>I see nowhere in any product description of this fact???
That is true, but I have a Hubby. Checking the web site again I find the de906 kit. On that page it says:
"Includes [...] two keyboard power cables for hub [...]"
and
"For hub features, see DE-805TP/C", which is the product for the original link i provided. They could have made that information a little more straight forward to find!
Good old Hubby.

Try this hub. It is powered from a standard keyboard socket and they can be cascaded together.

They may be covering their own butts. If a department goes with a $20/h consultant and something goes wrong, they'll be hauled over the coals, and their bosses will demand to know why such an important project was given to such a cheap outfit. If it's a $200/h consultant then it's the consultant who'll be hauled over the coals.
The fact that the same problem could just as likely (more likely) occur with an expensive, established named brand is irrelevent.
I doubt they would launch an attack simply on the basis of a file name and size. They would need to listen to the file to verify that it was one to which they hold the copyright.
They may initially run a high-level 'finger-print' check and then those that pass are given a more detailed examination, with a final check being performed by someone actually listening to the track.
All life on Earth mysteriously disappears. In other news, health officials are worried about the increased incidence of obesity in carbon-eating bacteria.

I'm not familiar with your terminology. Do you mean Incept date?
Many congratulation, even if I have no useful advice to give.
I use the term "logic artist". Not seriously, it must be said, but I like it.
They're getting stale.

Funniest comment for ages. Thanks :-)

I second this. As well as built-in filters you can add your own. It has its own regex-style pattern matching language too.
