You were dead on topic. This also ocurred to me that ASN,1/BER and XML have the same basic problems. They are a nice way of representing particular types of data but not the easiest thing to handle.
XML stops at text though. This is fine when you don't have to worry about data size and transmission times. It isn't in itself useful when trying to describe a protcol stack. It would be kind of nice if we had a combination between the two.
I'm using the T-DSL service oferred by T-Online and Deutsche Telekom, ok its in Germany so a bit far from Korea or the US. The conditions are not so bad:
One IP address
IP Address can not be held for more than 24 Hrs
760K down 128K up.
They will even sell you a router if you want (but no extra charges), but I'm running my own NAT and there is no objection. I have 7 systems of varying types and this aspect is great. I hardly ever use the ISDN link now and will reduce the number of lines when I move in a couple of months.
I don't like to do this without seeing the official writeup, but if I am doing a Vignere (or any other transformation) using a random keystream delivered over a sat. link, I would need to be sure that my numbers were good, i.e. continuous entropy checking. Even then, I don't know that they were good during transmission until too late.
Key subversion is the easiest attack in cryptography. Sat. signals are very easily swamped.
A long time ago, I remember a BBC microcomputer (6502 based) doing a nice 3d space station/spaceship docking thing. It was all wire fraes but it had hidden-line removal. At the time I was working on a then high-end graphics system which couldn't manage it. I also remember examining the source code to the moon-lander for the PDP-11 - lots of nice tricks to push the hardware to the limit.
I used the lesson later professionally developing some investment modling stuff that was developed on a 486 when most people had a Pentium. The result was something that was lightning fast when we moved to the latest/greatest.
Does every game need a Geoforce-2 graphics card and a 1GHz processor? Probably not.Do we really want to make everyone rush out and grab the latest computer. Even in the trading room we didn't plan for obselesence every year (actually 2 years).
The is a place for games that push the hardware to the limit but there is a much larger market for the stuff that uses what poeople have now in their computers at home.
Funny but definitely a troll. Symantec would upset far too many people by getting litigatious.
The author has a point that this one method of doing business that is well loved by certain companies and it helps to be there first even if you don't intend to enforce the patent to stop others from trying the same thing.
However, litigatious shareholders are not a joke - but it would take a significant chunk of the equity to force a response from a US company. Rather less than in a Japanese company which is why they have been subjected to pressure in return for hush-money to prevent embarassments at shareholders meetings.
Actually, no. It is around because Phil thought people needed access to a cheap privacy and authentication program. After a certain disagreement with Bidzos of Public-Key Partners, he put the program into the public domain with sources.
That was Version 1.0 and I downloaded it to Germany and started on a port.
1. If the Shuttle flies commercially, would it then be needing commercial level certification?
2. Just giving NASA the money is not the answer. They need to think commercially as well.
3. I agree, but isn't the other problem the oxidizer, Nitrogen Tetroxide. The thing is that Hydrazine and Nitogen Tetroxide are Hypergolic (sp?) or otherwise known as self-igniting. Good ignition systems for high performance rockets are not simple.
4. In a word, efficiency.
5. I agree, but it would be kind of interesting landing the thing.
6. Again, it is the matter of reliable ignition and also fuel handling.
I agree, the Soviet economy was bankrupt for other reasons. It is incredibly difficult to micromanage a country, let alone the Soviet empire. Think of the economy as a big MRP3 system that doesn't work. Ironically, if they had the Web in the eighties they could probably mae it work for longer.
You forgot the real reason for SDI - the pork barrel. Here the US taxpayers can be repaid to those entities responsible for electing the officials.
As with all this genome nonsense, a drug is a drug even if derived from my body, but my own makeup is mine to use as I want. I have a licence, ask my parents!!!!
Patenting scientific discoveries (not innovations) is best compared to patenting a country, just because you were there first.
The concept is great, I can put in a system anywhere and for a few hundred metres or so I get a full LAN connection without loads of expensive infrastructure.
Lets look at it again. Drive along the road in a financial centre. How far apart are the banks? They are a few metres apart, often sharing walls. In theory, if a bank was using WEP, I could sit in Frankfurt in one bank and could access the trading network of another bank. This is
not
good.
If I have a secure campus, WEP is fine, otherwise, let just forget about the security. I looked at it once for an application, but we were going to encrypt everything interesting before it went out to the WEP box. It would be effectively on its own LAN but we were still worried because the WEP box was updateable/reconfigurable over the air.
Back in the days of yore, DEC had a lovely slogan Isn't every computer a Digital computer? Digital as a logo was rigidle protected but you could still talk about digital computers in general.
A secure shell (note the absence of capitals) is just that. It is a description and could be equated to Boeing trademarking "jet fighter". Ok, so OpenSSH has to change, but the commands shouldn't, neither should the description.
Please remember that MS Exchange is essentially just a distributed database. It has grown considerably and in many incompatible ways. Migration of Exchange between versions can be hellish, particularly if you need to go backwards.Even upwards compatability can be a little iffy (Exchange 2000?).
If anyone can come up with a replacement for the store that is reliable and easy to manage then a lot of people will go in that direction. It doesn't matter how sexy the early clients are as long as the interface is stable, so someone can rewrite the stuff later if they don't like the way it looks.
Yes, but various western countries are falling all over China trying to get export contracts. Look at the US giving China MFN status, for example.
China has freed up it economy a little but on top it is the same old game and they get extremely worried about things like freedom of speech. In Russia, things are a lot better, but Putin certainly has started trying to clamp down on non-Kremlin leaning media. After all, if China can get away with it, why not Russia too?
Ok, we have heard of of using celestial mechanics to get a bit more out of exploration vehicles but this landing.....
Wow, hats off to everyone involved.
Perhaps we could have got more information with a crash landing and a spectroscope watching. I would still like to know more about the composition and this sat is not equipped!
I don't know about US maps, however, most modern surveying for roads is done using fixedpoints (benchmarks) generated from multipass GPS. The original features may not be so well surveyed, but the location of the road is well known (down to a couple of cm or so). Same goes for stuff like street furniture that gets put in with the road.
The main issue is that inside a GIS there is a lot of old data which is only slowly being replaced as stuff gets resurveyed. Major roads are worked on quite often so the surveying tends to be better than most. The location of that, there hill is another issue, dating back to the guy with the optical theo in 1890 or so.
In the UK, we wre blessed for many years by an excellent set of 50" to the mile maps. In the 70s with the advent of computerised plotting, it became quite apparent that the series had a problem. The original plates were destroyed in WW2 and new plates were made from paper. Paper is not very good at dimensional stability. It turned out that many things were off by a few metres. Doesn't sound much until you realise that the whole of the land registry from 1945 to 1970 was based on bad data.
However 30 metre errors as reported here are basically unheard of for us.
100K a pop is a bit much for just any road, but this would be really nice at airports. Especially the 10K computer-aided navigation thingy.
At one little airport I know they very carefully scraped the snow, ice and, what was that, oh dear, the runway lights. That was about $50K worth of damage and a very upset airport manager. Good nav like these have have would have prevented the inadvertent destruction of the visual navaids.
Yes, but if they refuse to prosecute or they do not grant a licence, they will lose. Failure to enforce is the number one way of losing control of anything.
When the MPAA realise what has gone on, it is possible they will just write a special license allowing the ISS to bypass the regs.
First of all did you mod your own critics down? Are you a Troll or something?
This wouldn't be allowed on the public highway, but elsewhere, if people refrain from collateral damage, then there is nothing against it. Use it on the beach as envisaged, no worries!
Recreational shooting is regulated (you may have heard of Dunblane) so put that AK47 down. However with a Shotgun Cert or a Firearms Cert it isn't a problem. As the others who were modded down, you *can* parachute quite easily, you can paraglide and even microlight!
It will effectively slowdown all the traffic going out of Germany. Those lists will be big and we will probaby end up with 'intelligent filters' sniffing for jpegs with particular shades of pink or something.
Luckily in germany, post-telco revolution, I can direct dial with ISDN an ISP outside the country for only a few extra pf per minute.

The govt and infrastructure is able to benefit from official aid such as USAID, TACIS etc. It is much harder for the for-profit businesses to benefit because how can we help business A but not business B?
The approach is to run courses and this has been done in some places for things like training people in bookeeping.

Sorry it is probably troll but 802.11 systems recently took a bit of a bashing over poor security implementations.
In reality MAC management isn't so easy. They can change legitimately and keeping the lists up to date is hard work.
