Perhaps you are trolling, but the phrase in question is "put paid" not "paid to the....". And it basically means the debt is paid and you no longer have to worry about it.
I'm personally more concerned that someone who went to MIT thinks that a technology that interacts with a person is a sense. For something to be a sense, in the accepted meaning of the word, it's going to have to convey information to a person's brain. And for it to be new, it's going to have to not use sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell.
As much as I like Sun gear (and I've got several hundred systems from them in the data center down stairs) the reality is, my E8500 can run several trojans, worms, viruses, etc. and still have more CPU cycles available than any SPARC workstation Sun has ever sold.
It's going to vary since both Earth and Mars orbit the Sun. The closest distance is around 55 million km. The furthest is around 400 million km. At 55 Mkm, it's about 3 minutes. At 400 Mkm it's about 22 minutes.
Look at it this way: If a doctor jabs you with a mortally-needed anti-venom needle, do you have the right to tell him "Fuck off!"?
Can you please tell us what exactly Paypal is going to do here? Seriously. WHAT. DO. YOU. THINK. PAYPAL. IS. GOING. TO. DO. ABOUT. A. BUG. IN. MICROSOFT'S. SOFTWARE?
If you want to make an analogy try this one:
Bob makes a walkway over a thousand foot drop and puts a nice rail on it.
Some twit, say, Cowymous Onward, comes along and says "if someone presses against this rail in just this place, in this peculiar body position, they can slip through and die."
Bob considers this and sits down to fix the problem in a robust and well thought out manner.
The next day, Cowymous Onward happens to be on the walkway and notes that it hasn't been fixed. In moment of absolute fucking brilliance, he decides to demonstrate the nature of the problem. He begins grabbing the school children, who happen to be visiting the walkway, and after twisting their arms back just so, and pushing their right leg out just like this, shoves them one by one through the railing to their death.
So tell me, who is the complete twat: The school children for using their last moments of life to think "gosh, that dude sure was an asshole." Or Cowymous Onward for deciding to cause substantial grief for an unrelated third party whose only "crime" was existing and being near the walkway.
The processor has its own cooling fan built in and the power supply and mother board are isolated from each other to keep heat from one affecting the other.
The motherboard and power supply air flows are not meant to be isolated from each other. The CPU fan only moves air across the CPU. The power supply fan moves air out of the case. On a lot of small and medium systems it is the only fan that draws air our of the case.
You both don't "get it", if you can't see that different types of storage serve radically different needs.
I get it. At my house I have terabytes of data using a similar type of system (SATA drives, single paths to controllers, commodity mobo, etc.) I know what it can do. At my job I have Hitachi & NetApp & Sun. I know what they can do. I know the differences between the types of systems. And unless your goal is to make a glorified tape system, I know that random IOPS matter. A lot.
I wasn't the one comparing my one dimensional line to Hitachi's three dimensional cube. I was merely pointing out the absurdity of comparing this science fair project to enterprise class storage.
Redundancy can be had for another $117,000. Hosting in a DC will not even be a blip in the difference between that and $2.7m.
EMC, Amazon etc are a ripoff and I have no idea why there are so many apologists here.
First these aren't even storage arrays in the same sense that EMC, Hitachi, NetApp, Sun, etc. provide. The only protocol you can use to access your data is https? WTF! Second the Hitachi array in my data center doesn't put 67 TB storage behind half a dozen single points of failure the way this thing does. Third the Hitachi array in my data center doesn't put 67 TB behind a dinky gigabit ethernet link. My Hitachi will provide me with 200,000 IOPS with 5 ms latency. I can hook a whole slew of hosts up to my SAN. I can take off-host, change-only copies of my data so backups don't bog down my production work. I can establish replication between the Hitachi here in this building and the second array four hundred miles away with write order fidelity and guaranteed RPOs.
Comparing this thing to enterprise class storage is like some sixteen year old adding a cold air intake and a coat of red paint to his Honda civic then running around bragging that his car is somehow comparable to a Ferrari ("look they're both red!") Every time I see something like this the only thing I learn is that yet another person doesn't actually "Get It" when it comes to storage.
HelloWorld.c is to the Linux kernel as this thing is to the Hitachi USP-V or EMC Symmetrix.
For example, if a foreign government has unleashed a cyber-attack, that would probably be a reasonable justification for taking.mil and.gov off of the public internet.
Sure. But that's not what is being proposed here. They aren't saying they want the authority to take Tinker AFB off the internet, they already have that authority. What they are proposing is that they can take all of Comcast's customers off of a privately owned network. To analogize to the absurd extent, they want the authority to kick you out of your house and off your property, not the authority to kick you out of their base and off their land.
Did you know that people are really good at adapting? And that often the greatest efficiency comes from people adapting, i.e. from using the tools in the ways that make them work best. For example, a saw works best when the human operating it guides the teeth along the object being cut as opposed to pounding the teeth into the object being cut. And computers can do math on powers of 2 all day long without ever having any problems. Force them to use powers of 10 and suddenly you're in rounding error hell.
There isn't. Because if it's important enough for you to need to reach it, only an idiot would think "gosh, let's make our <important whatever> only accessible via the internet, because the internet never goes down."
If it's important then internet connectivity shouldn't be part of your critical path. Any other approach is flat out incompetent.
At any given time about 10% of the internet is unreachable by the other 90%.
The real question is how is it possible for there to be a "cyber-security emergency"? Not being able to reach youtube or google or slashdot or microsoft via the internet for a day or two isn't an emergency. If the counter example is not being able to reach a nuclear power plant's cooling control system or some other utility, then I have to wonder who put such a critical systems on an unsecured, unreliable network and why aren't those people in jail for being a bunch of incompetent twats?
That's TiVo's big problem: the cablecos deliberately undercut them on price. Why? Is it because Verizon gets more money from people who use their box? I have no idea. But they are the ones trying to put TiVo out of business.
One of TiVo's big selling points was the ability to skip commercials. Which reduces the value of advertising. So they more or less started out by cutting into the networks & cable cos revenue stream. What goes around comes around.
You save only 59 seconds over 8 miles by going 75 instead of 65. Do you really have to pass that guy? Do the Math!
Some times it's not just a linear run down the freeway. Sometimes you want to get around some slowpoke so you can make a particular traffic light. So ten seconds of 35 instead of 25 can save you three minutes.
Well, they did get their patents by being innovate in the first place.
In theory every patent is awarded for being innovative. To avoid patent troll status in my world patent holders need to, directly or indirectly, put those patents into products that are in consumer's hands. If the patent isn't actively being used to produce a quality product, then it's time to hand out the name tag that says "Hello, My name is Patent Troll."
At least one of TiVo's patents is titled "multimedia time warping system" and the abstract certainly doesn't seem to illustrate anything particularly noteworthy or innovative. I mean one of their claims is the ability to save a program to a video cassette recorder.
The T1 and T2 have different cryptographic capabilities. See page 5 of "Using the Cryptographic Accelerators" a description. I would imagine that they are including even more support.
According to one of Schneier's blog posts the cameras don't reduce crime at all. They shift it to other locations. Such a shift is an entirely different question, but perhaps still a valid goal.
Person A: "I don't want this cookie. Take it off my plate." Person B: "OK. Fine. I'll take it off your plate and then you won't be able to enjoy it. That'll show you."
You know that you aren't really punishing anyone by taking away something they have explicitly said they don't want?
That'd be Bill Clinton with the repeal of Glass-Steagall and then crazy dems like Barney Frank who refused to allow Bush to increase oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2003:
"These two entitiesâ"Fannie Mae and Freddie Macâ"are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

Yeah. If you are concerned by the fact that a block might be 128 KB and the hashed value is only 256 bits, then an option like:

I don't know about that. Cause in my nerd world, this is how many bytes are in a terabyte:
0x10000000000, or
020000000000000, or
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000b
Hmm, that wasn't very hard at all! Maybe there is a reason computer science types use powers of two...
It appears that the difficulty people are encountering is that they don't actually know why kilobytes, megabytes, etc. have the values they have.
Consider this:
10 = 0xA = 012 = 1010b
100 = 0x64 = 0144 = 1100100b
1000 = 0x3e8 = 01750 = 1111101000b
No thanks. I'll stick with powers of two.
There isn't. Because if it's important enough for you to need to reach it, only an idiot would think "gosh, let's make our <important whatever> only accessible via the internet, because the internet never goes down."

It's different because TiVo already broke ground in that area. If it's going to happen anyway, you might as well get involved.
I think the market is telling TiVo that they aren't making a quality product. Otherwise they'd not be hounding after advertising in their menus, etc.
One of TiVo's big selling points was the ability to skip commercials. Which reduces the value of advertising. So they more or less started out by cutting into the networks & cable cos revenue stream. What goes around comes around.
