Does the side of the pod say "China" (like we (americans) have USA) or does it say "Made in China" like everything else in the USA?
Checked. It's "People Republic of China", no made in China. Well, actually, not much things in China has labeled with their origin, in case you don't know.
I played KQ II many years ago. I was stunned by the state of the art fine work of pages-after-pages high-res scenes which totally immersed me into fantasy world, running on the newly bought Apple IIe with 128K extended memory and a EGA card on a monochrome monitor....oh wait, what was I so excited about?
this article many years ago, and people at that time almost believe that an object will lose weight when it spins fast enough. Some even started to think that there's a gigantic core spinning inside a round shape UFO, ensure its anti-gravitational movement without using any combustion engine at all.
It's until now I realized none has yet confirmed yet. Oh I shouldn't have read all these damn UFO-science books.:/
You are absolutely right. A desktop CPU processor is thousands times more sophicated than a smart chip, but you don't really need a microscope to hack into a computer.
Just like people has cracked GSM, all it needed was to break the algorithm, not the physical card itself.
My opinion is that people want to search and get results quick, not to make a dialog or comprehend a paragraph - but it'd be interesting for layman. Not a bad idea, he should enter the contest yaeh.
As a DBA, I can tell you there aren't much RDBMS competition on MS platform. Any decent DBA with mimimal 2 years experience will tell you the heck with MS. They'll avoid running RDBMS on MS platform at all cost. Who want to bet their career on somethat that would break horribly?
Unless, of course, required by PHB. *shrug*
(I'm not that anti-MS as you think. Really, ask a DBA. Not MSDBA, they doesn't fall into 'decent' catagory):D
"Permission Denied" shouldn't even exist for the administrator account.
Just to fuel up your thought, it is the case in Lotus Notes.
Administrator cannot access to users' mailbox, or document one owned. The user ID is actually a private key which is used to open the mailbox which receives public-key-encrypted messages.
Unless, of course, the administrator made a cross-certification with every users' ID. In most case the users don't want administrator read their mails.
Yeah, I know you are talking about filesystem. I'm not arguing with this.:)
Not that its not dangerous -- there are a whole load of risks associated with people not knowing what information they are giving up whenever they show it (though there are laws about who is allowed to request it), as opposed to a print-only card where its obvious what you are showing
True except that they could put much more information into one card thanks to digital technology. Chance that breaking into the digitized card would cause more harm than printed one as you can imagine. Since I know a little bit how the ID is made I can tell you it's extremely unsafe - it uses passive smart card instead of active smart card, it's just like the Octopus you are using!(for non-HK, Octopus is a dumb smart card use to pay small fee in traffic)
It was almost five years since people begin to worry the security of passive smart cards and beginning to develop active smart card to solve the problem. Now they are picking up old technology to protect our piracy!
The chips used is a passive one - i.e. it'll be powered by an electrical coil (passive) that reacts to nearby electrical fields. In brief, they should have used active data protection, the passive one is already known to have some security issues. However, they simply don't listen, they just want to do it quick, and don't care the rest.
E.g. anybody could easy deactive the ID card by challenging the authentication system while the victim passing by. The problem is that the ID must respond to challenge because it's just a passive one. If the challenge failed the ID card will be deactivated, if it succeeded.....one just need to put that kind of 'challenger' in a crowdy area, like outside cinema, to cause mass deactivation, or gain access to many IDs.
The active one would decrease the chance of it happening, though it's not 100% safe, well nothing is.
Another system built with half-clue is E-Cert. The Hong Kong Post Office wants to become a root CA and they are issuing CAs since last year. It uses 1024-bit key, sounds good.
Except that no one in this project has an idea of key management, or CA distribution. Their root CA is not embedded in common browser like Netscape or IE. Say when you reach a website it says 'the CA of this server is said to be issued by Hong Kong Post Office, but we have no way to verify it, click yes to trust this CA'...The whole point of issuing CA is defeated.
While most of you think it is ridiculous, and I'm sure you've thousands reasons explaining why it doesn't work; stay calm, and think about it. As you can see a lot of people doesn't even have a slight clue of it, we really need to voice out.
Even a professor at Harvard Law School would say something like that! Those guys are supposed to reach a certain degree of clue level. I always think they must be smarter than us in all aspect. Now you can see how serious the matter is - we are surround by professional Cluelessnesses!!
To add insult to injury, they want to redefine the reality to suit their clue level. The worse is that the reality would be changed so that sane people are considered insane and vice versa. It just happens.
Don't just sit there! Write to your senators to voice out your opinions!(write with plain letter, of course)
After finding out "Mandrake = stupid user linux" and "Debian = if you are smart enough,
No, not really. I'm not a that smart, but I use Debian. It's very well-documented, and people in irc.debian.org #debian are very supportive. I couldn't get Redhat to work(yes, what a loser I'm) but I could easy find help in document and #debian. You just got to do a lot more configuration with CLI than GUI, though.
In my opinion you don't need to be very smart to use Debian, you just need to adapt to CLI. Once it is setup it's very easy to maintain. A `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -u` is a lot more easier than manually keeping track of individual rpm dependencies, isn't it?:)
The bad news is that the compiled mcs crashes, because some field tokens are wrong and this confuses the runtime (we still don't have a verifier,hint, hint).
Boy, we need to implement BSOD for this, hint, hint.
What kind of dope are these astronomers smoking? Antares is 500 light years [nasa.gov] away. Still quite distant, but 500000 light years will place you well outside the Milky way. It's about as far as the Magellanic clouds.
My boss must be smoking same kind of dope. The Y2K problem became Y2000K in his management summary - Man this guy is really thinking ahead!
Researchers have always worried about there might be in fact a single cause of Mass Extinction. You can refer to this graph for the rough interval of mass extinction.
Most people believe that the meterorite impacts is responsible for the mass extinction, but now this new findings may sparks a new way of thinking - the murderer may be someone else.
If we believed that there's a cycle for Mass Extinction, there we don't have much to worry about - as it's still millions of years away. However, some people also believe that the Sixth Extinction might come earlier, because human was not present in the last 5 extinction, and that makes the great difference.
Thank you for reading my trolling. I quote as much online reference as possible, but actually my point of view are from the books I read. My apology.
Don't allow them on the Free Internet until they become a Free State, I say.
I wish you don't regard me as a communist when I say the contrary: how about Free Internet eventually makes them Free State?
If you got to read the forums in China, you'd be suprise how people openly discussing all sort of matters, including (*can't say it or else they'll block/.*). Nobody speaks so openly before Internet, after Culture Revolution. You know I just feel like watching people demolishing Berlin Wall - but this time on the Internet.
Sadly, sensitive issues like (*censor *) are still restricted, but it doesn't stop people speak it out, only all comments will be removed from forums, like some companies(*cough* sina.com.cn *cough*) do.
The bright side is, they can still appear to the public, for may be several seconds, before they are being removed. This is a little spark of free speech that is growing among people. Better than nothing!
Please, oh please, don't stop us using Free Internet. Don't squeeze the tiny little spark of freedom...

This is absolutely outragous! Hire criminal, now child labour, what next?! SON! Forget your dirty-IT college study, go get some real job in military!
You made very inspirational comment and I'd like to mark you friend, but you prefered to remain anonymous. :/
Thanks for your post, though.

a visit by a couple really solemn-looking men in bad suits and dark sunglasses that smelled like pistachios.
Yeah, they also carry a black stick which will flash red light. That's all I know, I dont' remember a darn thing before that.
Hey, would you try DoggyStyle? I can't get in.
Sure hon...but if you've no luck with Missionary, why would you think DoggyStyle work for you?
Why do they stick with MS if they have security issues?
Who is going to get back the BSOD-submarines when the contract with MS is being terminated?

Isn't it the expected outcome? It's considered done!
The cycle of mass extinction is 8,000 years :-I
Hey it's not even close!
Tricky hehe, I know you are talking about religion - this is a rather interesting view even Newton himself(at that time) believed it.:D
