Boeing designed the 787 without isolation between the network running the in-flight entertainment system (some of which allow PAX to plug in USB storage devices) and the network on which flight systems sit. So conceivably a passenger could have hijacked the plane without ever leaving their seat, e.g. with a crafted media file to exploit, say, ID3 parser bugs.
I presume Boeing have been forced to fix this, but I havn't checked...
Those walls appeared to be missing at Fukushima though. The reactor outer building seemed to be a relatively normal girder+concrete building. The reactor may have been in a reasonably thick, steel containment vessel, however the spent fuel pool wasn't protected by much. It was several stories up, near the top of a not particularly strongly reinforced, standardish building, and the top of the reactor - to minimise handling after unloading).
It's still quite radioactive because there's still *lots* of energy in it - current reactors only extract a couple of % of the energy. At some stage in the future technology advance and the economics of uranium availability will make it viable to re-use this waste as fuel.
I.e. it's not waste, it's fuel we're going to use again in the future.
The article, at the point you quoted, is describing how LEA go from associating content with a location to investigate. It's subjective, but I don't think it does that bad a job. Are there lots and lots more details involved, of course - but the high-level flow is accurate enough.
Think about what you're saying: That the press should never describe any system or process, other than all their details. That's just infeasible. Further, I'm sure you don't hold yourself to that standard in your own communications, at any level. It's often necessary for us to have to generalise, according to context. This article does a pretty good job of it, IMHO (and I often have my head buried in networking RFCs;) ).
Oh, if your quibble is that the quote is inaccurate because IP is only half the required (IP,timestamp) tuple, then, OK, fair enough, you have a point.;) That said, temporal context is often assumed by many people (who assumes the world stays unchanged for long?), and further many ISPs use static assignments for always-on connections...
Whether IP addresses are static or dynamic is an irrelevance. The ISP doesn't hand out IPs to anyone, they hand them out to identified (e.g. through passwords and PPP, or static configuration of some underlying link technology) customers, and the ISP keeps logs of which customer was allocated which IP and at what time. As it says in the very quote you gave, the LEA asked the provider to identify the subscriber.
The IP pretty much *is* a "unique identification number" of a router, at least as far as its attachment point to the internet goes at least. With a time and an IP, the provider can map the IP to the contracting customer, and their contact details, even location. Which is what LEA is after.
Each IP uniquely associates with *1* router. You could quibble and say the router is not per se uniquely associated with 1 IP, it could be multihomed, and that "unique" demands a 1:1 association. However: a) that still doesn't affect the fact that the (IP,timestamp) tuple lets you identify the router and customer, b) multihomed routers are pretty rare in domestic settings - in most such cases there *is* a 1:1 association between attachment point and router. As a very short layman's description of the significance of the IP address in probably >99% of domestic internet access, the quote you gave is pretty good.
If you really wanted to try dispute you used an IP, you'd have to look at the quality of the timestamp information (electronic clocks are awfully inaccurate - even good ones drift by a minute or more each month - unless kept sync to a good clock, e.g. via NTP). Though, even that approach highly unlikely to affect the reliability of identifying a customer from (IP,timestamp).
What is wrong with that description exactly? It says IP == "unique identification number, of the router", which is quite precise, particularly for a layman's description, and not at all inaccurate. There's plenty to criticise in OTT policing in raids of houses (WTF do they need assault rifles to arrest a suspect paedophile; why do they fail to consider the chance the person who did the downloading may not be in the house?( - but you've gone awry in picking on that quote.
Actually, my understanding is that an mph-only speedo would be illegal for a new car (i.e. not receive type approval). It's a legal requirement that all cars in the EU must have km/h markings. The UK further adds mph to that requirement.
My vague memory is that metrication was required due to the UK joining the EEC (ditto for Ireland). From googling it seems this started in the 1970s. I still vaguely recall there being some point in the early 1980s where they introduced legislation to actually make it illegal to sell goods only in imperial measures. Things like rebellious grocers continuing to sell in lbs and stones were a semi-regular staple in the news, I vaguely remember. Perhaps it happened in the 1970s and I'm remembering news of that legislations enforcement...
Since when is 568ml not metric?;) Here's what I wrote: "All weights and measures used in at least consumer trading had to be given primarily in metric.". Try opening a shop and selling things in imperial measures, without metric equivalents - you'll be contravening the *law* and may be visited and fined by trading standards.
Unfortunately, when I wrote "Speed and distance on the road is one of the few places where imperial is still used in the UK" I meant "officially", but missed that out - Imperial is still in regular use in conversation (including on TV). Thanks for picking up on that mistake. Apologies..
Wouldn't your reasoning also mean that it makes it more costly for US steel manufacturers to sell internationally? Maybe this didn't matter in the past when the US was rich and most of the rest of the world wasn't, and your currency was used as a reserve currency. However, it could become an issue in the not so distant future when you find you have to start paying/selling things in Euro or, dare I say it, Riminbi.
The UK and Ireland went metric sometime in the early 80s iirc (EU standardisation). All weights and measures used in at least consumer trading had to be given primarily in metric. Speed and distance on the road is one of the few places where imperial is still used in the UK. In Ireland, for quite a while, you had the interesting situation that speed limits were in mph while distances on sign-boards were in km (except for the very old black & white ones out in the country). Ireland finally fixed that inconsistency 6 or 7 ish years ago and changed speed limits over to km/h overnight (though, the odd black & white old signpost in miles still remain). When you drive in Ireland, you know you've crossed the border when the posted speed limits suddenly change by a large amount.;)
The numbers 3 and 4 and all their multiples were removed from metric. So things like 16cm and 48cm simply do not exist! How dumb was that?! Thank $DEITY sanity still prevails with imperial.
Note that there is no SI unit called "meter", if by metric you mean SI. It's defined to be "metre".
Ob: If you're going to adopt a standardised system of units, why misuse them? Unlike english spelling, which is by consensus/useage, these units have standardised definitions - a key feature...
You simply use less of them. Where I might use 7 to 10 super-market bird eye chilis, I'd use 1 jolokia - and still get a significantly hotter meal. I have some 8% b.w. Jolokia chili paste and that's quite easy to use in meals. Jolokia has a nice fruity taste too, nicer than the bird eyes. Also, after eating it fades to a background level heat that lasts a good bit longer than other chili too, which is nice.
The Jolokia is definitely very hot (you do need to be careful handling them once cut) but it's still quite useable for cooking.
Chili tolerance doesn't last very long fwiw. Unless you just left, your college chili experiences won't make that much difference to your current tolerance level.;)
It's quite obviously a visual pun on "haven" (the normal and correct term used in "tax haven") and "heaven". Which makes it clear that either Roblimo is being super-ultra-ironic, or he has failed to realise that the cartoon authors have a better grasp of english than himself.
If your professor is recommending you go to a conference, I presume their name is on the paper as a 2nd author. So it'll be to their benefit as well if you go to present it. They and/or your university dept will have money allocated to a travel budget precisely for this kind of thing, and will also know of other sources of funding for students to go to conferences.
So the answer is: you need to talk to your professor about money, tell them you'd need funding for the trip and ask if they know of any. Indeed, it's quite possible your professor will say "But of course the dept will pay the expenses!".
The translation requires extra circuitry, which requires extra power, which means the x86 CPU will require a bigger battery to achieve same useage times, or will have lower useage time than the pure RISC CPU. The marginal cost of that extra power usage relative to non-translating CPUs will of course fall over time as technology improvements allow for more transistors, but that cost appears still to be appreciable today. (Compare Atom to A8 Cortex in power usage, say).
A lot of Symbian S60 not-so-smartphone Nokia users, who have an affinity for Nokia, will have been waiting the last year or two and holding off on upgrading to a modern smart-phone precisely to see if Nokia were going to stop changing strategy and get their software sorted. E.g. I have a near-4 year old E51 and I've been wanting to replace it for at least a year now. I didn't go buy an Android cause I was really really hoping Nokia was about to release some nice MeeGo phones. I would have preferred a 'purer' GNU/Linux MeeGo phone to Android and would have bought one.
Now I know there's no future in Nokia, I'll be settling for Android. My last two phones have been Nokia, my next one definitely wont be.
Put the company's stock ticker symbol in to Google and search. The amount returned is the value of the stock.
This is only generally true for public companies. There are many more private companies than public ones. They don't have to disclose as much information as public ones. However constitutional documents often are still available from the relevant registrar of companies (e.g. Companies House in the UK). You usually have to pay to get these.
The devices which the BBC uses TLS/SSL for content protection typically are embedded devices which do not offer any obvious, consumer-friendly ways to get media off the box. I.e. connected digital TVs, STBs, Apple iPhone - that kind of thing.
You could argue the limited device is a part of the DRM picture, I guess.

Ok then, so in what way does a public IP address *NOT* uniquely lead to a router, at some given point in time?
Oh, if your quibble is that the quote is inaccurate because IP is only half the required (IP,timestamp) tuple, then, OK, fair enough, you have a point. ;) That said, temporal context is often assumed by many people (who assumes the world stays unchanged for long?), and further many ISPs use static assignments for always-on connections...
(Oh, and I'm more than well aware of things like anycast, but that's not something that ISPs tend to do with customer access IPs :) ).
