Also, there are several companies producing aerogel insulation sheets for the few places regular insulation doesn't make sense. e.g. really thin walls or shims between framing. Anywhere you aren't space constrained, you're probably better off just adding more conventional insulation.
Nah, the thumbdrive is just holding your guaranteed random bits that you bought for use as a One Time Pad.
Doesn't everyone have a few gigs of random bits, just in case? Sure, you can buy a decent hardware generator for a few hundred bucks, but you'll cache your random ahead of time because if you need to send a big file, nobody wants to wait for the random to dribble in like it was coming over a POTS modem.
Much like police can't use radar and thermal cameras to peer through the walls of your house, I'd like to hope that using this on the street would get smacked down.
However, they could probably get away with checkpoints, much like DUI stops, and putting them at the entrance to venues(by putting acceptance of use in tiny letters on tickets).
You need to disassemble the drive and read the memory chips independently of the controller.
Bingo. Forensic tech are used to being able to just plug in a write-blocker and assume the disk will remain intact and unchanged, which is the "legally safe" part they are complaining about. Since SSDs do lots more under the hood than spinning rust drives, they can't guarantee the device is unchanged unless they disassemble it, which might be considered tampering and leaves room for the other side's lawyers to ask "and then you took a soldering iron to a delicate IC?".
It also requires a lot more know-how than "Use this magic cable when copying drives for investigation".
And this is a good thing? We still have to wait until spring for the 'early release' SDK and the 'commercial version' will follow soon. (unmentioned date reference.)
And presumably pay out the nose for the "right" to make commercial products. Or just use the open source drivers and make commercial products now.
With line of sight, people have achieved 173 mile range with consumer hardware and recycled sat dishes. The driving distance is about 2777 miles, so you could probably make it in less than 20 hops, even if you had to detour substantially to reach places where people live.
Add in some batshit crazy geeks with pro hardware and you could get some decent throughput.
Crossing oceans directly isn't likely to happen, but if you don't mind latency, it is probably achievable with pro-grade equipment and some wacky route planning. Just nobody bothers when you have cable already laid.
The Papilio boards are FPGAs with an Arduino core. You can treat it as an Arduino with remappable pins(PWM wherever you want) or you can stick your own core on it.
I'm guessing that the hard work of the Arduino folks has really increased Atmel's market share.
Considering Atmel sells millions of chips a year to industrial clients and less than 500k chips total to Arduino and Knockoffduino makers, not all that much.
. I get the opportunity to interact with highly intelligent people who specialize in the kind of work that I would someday like to do. I also get to interact with a wide variety of people who share the same interests that I do through student organizations. These opportunities would be lost, for the worse in my opinion, if college were to be completely eliminated.
Join a professional organization(IEEE or similar), a hackerspace, or something like FIRST. Go to cons.
Even if you're in the middle of nowhere, you can livestream your workbench and dedicate a monitor to other people's streams to create a virtual hackerspace. You can't share tools as easily, but you can get live advice and encouragement. At the very least, find a forum more directly related to your interests than slashdot, post your projects and ask for comments.
Does the Administration consider whether a domain name operated overseas is in compliance with the domestic law from which the domain name is operated?
What standard does DoJ expect foreign countries to use when determining whether to seize a domain name controlled in the U.S. for copyright infringement?
Does the Administration believe that websites that facilitate discussion about where to find infringing content on the Internet represents speech or the distribution of infringed content? What if the discussion on these websites includes hyperlinks to websites that offer downloadable, infringing content?
I'd find it hilarious if other countries protested by grabbing a few domains that violated laws Americans think are kooky, e.g. Germany confiscating domains that sold Nazi memorabilia.
Hi, I'm a security researcher from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Last Friday 21 of Januray, we discovered a vulnerability in www.plentyoffish.com exposing users details, including usernames, addresses, phone numbers, real names, email addresses, passwords in plain text, and in most of cases, paypal accounts, of more than 28,000,000 (twenty eight million users). This vulnerability was under active explotation by hackers.
WTF are you talking about? Everything they've done since release has been encouraging to the Kinect hackers, and they've made quite a number of press releases to that effect.
Except for the first one, where they responded to news of PC Kinect drivers with "Microsoft will continue to make advances in these types of safeguards and work closely with law enforcement and product safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant."
if you add -site:example.com it removes all hits from that site. I have noticed recently that I no longer have to exclude sites that I used to, such as those that just copy excerpts from other message boards.
Every time you view the image you have to request a decryption key from an XPire server, after the expiration date it will stop giving out the keys.
No, only the first time you view the image. Then your hacked version of the plugin saves the key and publishes it to the "people have tried this before and failed" memorial server.
Plus, odds are they've screwed up the method of encryption and someone will be able to use information like the layout of standard image file formats as cribs to brute-force decrypt the images.
Unless, of course, they're using one-time pads, in which case they'll run out of bandwidth just as fast as if they were serving the images directly.
if anybody was wondering if "rorting" was a typo(Google sure thinks it is), apparently it is an Australian word for "scamming" or "taking advantage of". Presumably taken from the name of a politician who did a lot of that.
If you search for tecnical problems with ocropus, you will see less spam targeted at you.
I wish. Try searching for old LCD, stepper, or TTL chip numbers, you'll get tons of "datasheetsRus.com" type sites that consist solely of part numbers and what look like Markov word chains.
Slashdot Mirror
And we'll just use a different colorspace. Invent one, if we have to. Scarlet, Orange, Navy, Yellow or something.
You can make an aerogel suitable for home insulation purposes yourself. Just requires some practice, a 10 year old kid did it back in 2002.

They do have seperate lists for hardback and paperback.

Palantir Technologies? Really?
Was "Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall Inc" already taken?
Mung bits, continue with faux slash fanfic.
Yes, he inconvenienced the US government without hiding his identity to prevent retaliation. This is generally regarded as a bad move.

If I got an email that looked like:
I'd assume it was somebody trying to scam me.
This could be awesome for another reason: if you can't start the car, then the cops can't give you a DUI for sleeping it off in the back seat.
-15 Fahrenheit is actually -26 Celsius.
That is the usual Sony game system pricing method, double whatever your competitor is charging.

I'm guessing this device does nothing when wrapped in foil, except perhaps alert the cops the subject is now "invisible".
