Most money isn't physical. It's all done through accounts.
When a bank creates money by issuing a loan, they don't print money, they just add a few digits to a counter in a program. Most times, this money is moved around via checks or wire transfers, moving money that never existed in the first place between "places"
I think the reason we're not using S-V's any more isn't so much that we don't need them, it's that we don't have the infrastructure to build them any more. The engineers are dead, the plans are lost or unintelligible, and the tools and control systems used to manage them are 50+ years out of date.
Godsend is the worst movie I've seen, that I can remember.
It's so bad my best friend, who I saw it with (we only saw it because the movie we wanted to see was sold out, and that was the only thing playing at the same time, and we were bored) and I still talk about its terribleness.
FM Radio markets could be vastly expanded if the FCC allowed stations to operate on first-adjacents of each other.
Currently, primary stations are only allowed on second-adjacents (400kHz) which is double the 200kHz required maximum margin for FM transmissions.
This buffer zone was to allow for older, less precise equipment to not receive interference. However, in this age of digital radios, it should be technically possible to pack stations much closer together...such as stations on first-adjacets even. If I understand RF modulation correctly, as long as the buffer zone excedes the maximum possible modulation (carrier +/- frequency response of audio signal) it'll be fine. This is about 20kHz, 1/10 of a freqency division. No problem at all.
All MS would have to do would be make a super-slick Linux that works just like every other Linux, and GPL it. But it doesn't mean they have to GPL their other apps.
A Linuxy Linux with a binary-level Win32 API compatibility, natively, by the people who wrote Win32, would be a killer app. That's all it would take.
which offers a program, buildable to both Windows and Linux, and runable under both, to generate rainbow tables of common hashing algorithms, then use cryptanalysis techniques to break hashes.
This might not sound too interesting to you at first...but read on: It supports LM and NTLM hashes. And that's not all: For $120, you can get a set of 6 DVDs containing sorted rainbow tables of LM hashes for the character set "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw xyz0123456789!@#$%^&*()-_+= " which claims to be able to crack 99.91% of passwords 1-14 characters in length in minutes.
(I am in the process of building a similar table for NTLM hashes, but it'll be until Longhorn is out until it's actually completed.)
Someone did the same thing on Linux by reordering the init scripts to make Login: appear first and load the services in the background.
They found that loading services in the background behind the Login: gained up to 15 seconds at best and only lost about 2 seconds at worst.
MS optimizes their boot order to present a "working environment" earlier, it's bad. Linux does the same thing, it's good.
Christ.
Most people don't jump up to enter their username and password as soon as the prompt appears. They turn the computer on, walk to somewhere else and such, and when they get back, all services are finished loading and it's ready and waiting for them.
I have a $54.99 voice plan (600 daytime, unlimited nights, weekends, in-network) + 7.99 for 80 pix msgs and 200 texts.
I end up spending about as much as the cost of the voice service each month in data services that currently only come al-a-carte. My bill for SMS (this is ABOVE the 200 i am allotted) is routinely $40-$50. At 10c a message, thats a fucking lot of messages.
I want to see more and more information being carried as data rather than as voice. Allocate a certain amount of data transfer per user per month. Phone calls are 24kbps estimated. SMS messages are 1.5kb each, or so. Give everyone 1.5GB of data transfer per device per month. (vs minutes per line per month.) That's approx. 1000 minutes of voice at 24kbps standard quality, or 120,000 short messages. This way, you could pick and chose your own level of service. Text hound? You've got basically unlimited texts for that price. Need more voice? Fine, then send less texts, or pay a 1c/kb fee or something for overage. (that works out to about 3c/minute)

One interesting tidbit (from "Applied Cryptography") was that the NSA adjustments to the S-boxes actually predicted and secured for a vaunerability that was discovered 30 years later.
When the S-box attacks came out in the 90s or so, people thought DES might be vaunerable to it -- but the adjustments the NSA had made decades before to the standard prevented its vaunerability.
That's impressive. Did they know, or was it just lucky.
Basically, it's just a translation layer that sticks a few extra 0s on the front of memory addresses (except in the few special cases they mentioned.) and then passes the new function call to the 64-bit OS.
I should think that would run at.999999997 as fast as a native-mode, basically, the only problem is how fast you can concatenate some strings or whatever.
maybe couple this with the adaptive scheduling algorithm to allow all sides of an intersection to travel through it at once, for ultra efficient, highly versatile light rail through cities?

Even if we can't necessarely interpret their signals, if we send their own signal back to them intact and with some sideband or appended information about us in it (or even just the signal) they'll be able to know it wasn't just a coincidence.
I can't even make two IPv6 hosts with statically configured addresses talk to each other on my home network...and I'm by no means a new person to networking.
I've got an IPv6 tunnel and a/48 from freenet6.net running to a Windows 2003 server. But that's where it ends..........I have no connectivity other than an address.
The 2K3 box won't route IPv6 for the rest of my network...it can't even find a route to the host whose last digit is only one digit higher, on the same subnet.
Very cross-platform...obviously some things like file paths might have to be changed to reflect the filesystem they run on top of (/usr/bin/whatever vs c:\program files\whatever) but with few exceptions, PHP code written on any OS will work on any other one.

basically, absymal transfer rates.
the stateful application of energy to a specific area of the disk caused a physical phase change in the medium storing it, which was detectable.
i.e. a laser heats something up and makes it change its magnetic state.
problem: it takes time for the energy to be transferred enough to cause the state change.

This is the same thing just on a higher scale.

Sounds fair to me.

The judge's choice was 100% morally correct, in addition to being in accordance with the letter of the law.
I hear (although have not worked with to confirm) that these SecuID tokens lose sync with the server a lot of times.
I also have an RSA SecurID token generator on my computer.
Not the best in practice but definately more secure than a password.

does anyone know of a WEPcracker dealy that will run on Windows XP or Cygwin?
I don't have a laptop running *nix, unfortunately, I could always boot to Phlack for this sort of thing but that's not quite what I want to do.
Help appreciated.
thus why it's usually reported as "the speed of light in a vacuum" "the speed of light in water" etc.

Windows NT is internally 64-bit. The Windows APIs on x86 are downported to 32-bit.
