If you want both a game system AND an HD player, then yes, it's "reasonable". If you're really only looking for a game system, and HD movies are secondary, then maybe not. Same if you only want a video player and don't do much gaming. I stand by my statement.
Calling a $500 price "aggressive" may not be appropriate, really. Realistic, perhaps; it's still $200 pricier than an HD-DVD player or a basic XBox 360. I'd call it barely reasonable, but not aggressive.
Just because you CAN customize doesn't mean you're required to. Conveniently available default packages combined with the ability to tweak things means the best of both worlds.
Why is it that only Kaspersky Antivirus is picking up on Rising Tech's files? What are the other antivirus vendors doing (or not doing) that is avoiding this problem?
Instead of all this silly "minutes" nonsense, with separate internet browsing plans, why can't we just have flat-rate connections, IP-based (IPv6 based?), that let the end user decide what to do with the bandwidth, whether voice, web-surfing, or downloading pr0n?
Many Linux users are willing to buy their own rigs, or have been content to purchase Windows and then either dual-boot or just format and install Linux.
That was back when Windows didn't cost $250+. Even Vista Basic is expensive, and may prove worthless in a few years. The high prices are providing fuel for a real move to Linux - as many have predicted.
If you're talking about two identical laptops, I think the test is unfair. You'd probably be able to determine which laptop was infected simply by measuring boot times - and this sort of test wouldn't be practical in the real world. (I suppose the attacker could make it more like a real-world test by installing different sets of applications on each machine.) A proper test would include several laptops of different manufacture and somewhat different hardware specs.
"The demonstration would include a few live demonstrations. For example, one demonstration will show how to login and access data on a Windows Vista System (which has TPM + BitLocker enabled)," the abstract said.
If they were able to do that, most likely they had what they said they had. I'm betting they were threatened with a lawsuit or a criminal complaint.
Breaking it isn't necessary for certification, but Bair says the wing is so strong and flexible that there's been talk that maybe it could be bend far enough for the wingtips to touch above the fuselage--or come quite close.
The iPhone has a 2 megapixel camera, and I've noticed some of the other advanced phones have 2 megapixel cameras. Does anyone know of any more basic phones w/ high-res cameras?
Back in, um, '92? I went to my favorite used music store, and they had set out a milk crate filled w/ abandoned albums that had scratches and the people who brought them in weren't able to sell. I bought the whole crate for $3 and covered a wall with them.
It would be possible for Vista's DRM to be (relatively) secure if the virtualization software also supported DRM; this potentially opens the way for Microsoft to specify some virtual environments as "acceptable" for use with the Vista home versions.
Why not send your resume out and see what sort of response you get? If some company you like pops up w/ a kick-ass job for you, then this question becomes moot.
I don't think there's any mechanism for it. Currently, https has a certificate system which helps prevent spoofing attacks. Sending the entire web page over an encrypted link creates a significant amount of overhead, but you could send the website's certificate information along with a signed hash for the web page it intended to send. If someone were playing man-in-the-middle and changing information in web pages dynamically, you'd know it immediately.

Beware of MITM attacks!
He was trying to be funny.
As was I.
I'm sure Apple will push a patch before the entire internet's infrastructure collapses.
Maybe.
Now *this* is aggressive.
I recommend you send an email to Catbert, he has some uber-delicious tools. I've only seen a few, but they're quite useful!
How about we make a backup of the backup on glass plates...
Ack! Put down that knife!
a thousand minibuses full of magtape.
Pshaw. That's easy. The major cost of bandwidth is running all the fiber. Doubling the bandwidth adds maybe 10%?

Not considering the original price, and not considering they've been staying on shelves in droves.

Please note my "(relatively)". ;-)

You'd also need an extension for the server. It'd take maybe 5 lines of code, but still...
