but then the rovers might last forever, and they wouldn't as easily get funding for new projects.
if you think about it, the reason has to be some conspiracy like this...seriously. We got the thing to the moon, but we can't keep dust off the solar panels...come on!
personally, i would think it would make it easier on lock pickers.
instead of having to make complicated mechanical devices, you could make a led based device. like they say, it can open in a fraction of a second...meaning much less time needed between changing the key configuration.
although, they could create some smart system that would "lock you out" after so many invalid attempts.
I do see what they mean unpickable...it is. You can't pick it a mechanical way (assuming they build it riht). But, it is still susceptible to brute force methods...but those take a long time, and with the limited key attemps, seems unlikely.
BUT, copying key will be MUCH easier since they are just passive devices. Quickly sliding them into a device that reads the input and output patters would take, "a fraction of a second"...hehe. reproducing the key would require light sensors and leds...or whatever.
You could also just do it time based on one port...hell, even the port your trying to connect to. But, this would require client software (to make it easy for the user) and a decent connection.
I wish I would have made a webpage of "port knocking" when I thought of it a couple years ago.:) *Almost* got to implement the idea as they have it (with time and different ports). Didn't do the timming because it was a telnet service (too hard manually with shitty connections), and didn't end up implementing it cause VB (it was my first big programming project when I knew nothing but vb) is a stupid programming language that *always* seems to destroy projects beyond repair (which is why I don't use it anymore), to the point where you can't open them.
I got single port knocking in (and at one time, double) before vb killed the project. It's the port after the actual service port, so, a port scan wouldn't see anything initially except the "knock" port. I also made it so you had to send a single character. This way, port scanners wouldn't activate the service.
I thought "port knocking" (which I called "like a padlock") was an already thought of/implemented way to have port security. *shrug*
actually, the vsync and hsync are just pulses. Only a small portion would need to be digitized.
It'd probably be a LOT easier to get a VGA -> vid signal adapter, then use a tv in card or something similar. maybe switch between input signals to get more than one display (at a reduced framerate) like is done on many of the multi camera security systems.
beings that it was something highly illegal, I *really* doubt that the employees at this institution get all the benefits that me and you do:) Saying "yes" could have easily been a way to keep paying his life insurance bill.
I had no idea! All this time, I thought the aluminum foil was working...that would explain the blackouts. Well, off to a local metal factory to buy some tin foil.
Good luck finding foil made from tin. Sheesh, even checking at www.allfoils.com, it's not even in their "other exotic metals" list. You should try Aluminum foil. It's MUCH easier to find and much cheaper. Why, it can be bought in pretty much any grocery store.
It should have all the radio mind control wave blocking properties that tinfoil would have. Since the resistance of aluminum is only 26.5 nanoOhms*meter, and tin is 115 nanoOhms*meter, it would actually work better!
A while ago, I realised that coporations truely are greedy. They don't care about the long term effects of what they do, only about profits. They don't seem to realise that, by outsourcing, they are hurting the economy in the long run. They are slowly trickling money out of the states that will not be used to buy things here in america...meaning less money flow in america. As we all know from economics, money flow is what creates a good economy.
The funny thing is, in the long run, this will hurt their profits too. Guess only the now matters though.

oh yeah...and it has ogg, mp3, asf, wmv support. and, it has upgradable firmware so they can add any codec they want (this was already done with the older players to support ogg). and, it has a 20 gig hard drive and a nifty remote control with an lcd on it.
All I gotta say is one word...err...model number iHP-200
USB 2.0, FM radi, optical in out, blah b lah blah...saw a couple reviews that put the experimentally found audio quality measurements higher than the ipod.
The main problem is that the wires will act as antennas, not because of a change in impedance.
And, with your transformer and halogen light arching concers, I highly doubt they would tap it after the transformer.
The main problem is that it's unshielded, making it an awfull idea. I personally don't believe this will ever become reality...but...then again, I never thought the in home data over powerlines would ever become a reality.
CowboyNeal, you bastard. That was my main theory that I wanted to prove. Screw slashdot for a while. Jesus christ, do a little thinking before you post.

don't forget the cataracts it will cause. non-lethal...not non-harming.:)
and, they could shield things from it using sheets of metal. They said it would even penetrate bunkers with shielding that can withstand nuclear blast. I don't think this is true if they shielded it from the EM pulse also (you would think they would).
say, maybe something falling from space (or going into space). Jerk is the derivative of acceleration, so, the rate of change of accereration. As you increase the distance between two massive bodies, the gravitational force gets reduced, so, the acceleration that one causes the other would decrease. So, if your trying to launch a spaceship, or keep a satellite up or something, I'm sure it comes in handy:)

I don't think anyone's commenting because those aren't any worste than most OSS interfaces :(
They make the most amount of oxygen (yes, even more than the rain forests), so, I'm assuming they intake the mot amount of CO2.
Wouldn't the huge algae boom cause lots of C02 to be absorbed? Maybe the yucky algae will save us!?
great...now spammers are gunna get ahold of these and install their own software. Hope they use decent authentication or something.
