Yep, same technique used by Robert De Niro in The Score. To which when questioned if the concept would work he replied "It's physics".
So is it chemistry or physics that makes this work? I suppose the pressure generated by the explosion is the main factor to success but what about a purely chemical reaction via an exothermic reaction in the water causing it to expand..../me runs to the convenience store with an aquarium heater and balaclava.
There's a simple solution. They'll put a Captcha on every file access.
Then again if you end up using GMail as off-site backup storage it is not that much of a pain to enter the Captcha text a bunch times to get your rar'ed hard drive image from your inbox in the event of an unrecoverable disaster.:)
Modern schemes wouldn't be necessary because quantum cryptography would become the standard and is proven to be unbreakable by the laws of quantum mechanics. Any interaction (malicious or otherwise) of a third party is noticable to the proper parties and the message/key transmission is just repeated until a clean send is achieved. Here, here and google (of course) provide some good reading if you're interested
You're quick to judge people without the experience and knowledge equal to yours. The overhead in making any site with a substantial amount of content js/dhtml based rather than flash is more than what most companies feel its worth to offer a useable site to people without a small widely used plugin.
My girlfriend and several close friends are graphic designers who make a good portion of their living building sites based on flash. Their ability to produce visually appealling and interactive sites that get people "in the door" so to speak is more valuable to companies than your or my ability to write a few thousand lines of js that turns a web page into a debugging/updating nightmare.
Some people draw pretty pictures others write programs deal with it.
That video was fairly impressive at the time, I believe it even won some siggraph awards. The audio seemed a bit unsynced with the lips at times and the face lacked a certain realism. Beyond that I would be very interested to see a feature length film reviving a star I never had the please to watch during his life time.
Looking over the article it seems most of their research is about web pages and documents. Now to me that seems like a gross oversite. What all those hosts out their that don't accept Code Red (or in a perfect world use Apache:P ), and aren't part of any traceroute.
I'm sure most of the end users on the internet don't have services running that would put them on these graphs yet we aren't included in the research. Just my 2c

What kind of sick bastards make Hardware that is prone to failure by the Software it runs?

Perhaps he was referring to the world population of internet users?
Wonder how many people are gonna be spending the night at the local jail because they're word processor was using an illegal key.....

If anyone wants to see the video mentioned here and in parent you can find it here
Reading this over it makes no mention of Excite@home north of the 49th up here in Canada.
I had a friend who was supposed to get @home installed today so I wonder if it went through.
Any sources know how this affects Rogers and Cogeco?
So what should parapalegics drive?
