Considering I wrote the CAN interface for an OEM; Yes, Anything can talk to anything else... BUT...
That's why there's an interface which will only allow you to send data you're meant to send.
They also point out two vehicles with the SAME available lineup of head units and identical CAN architecture, then claim they're both the most and least secure vehicles.
Will one of my interfaces ever talk to a brake module? No, Not without a nasty firmware hack. So no, your radio won't be talking to your brakes, or engine. Sorry.
I work at an OEM... I know for a fact The Dodge Viper and the Jeep Cherokee share the same line-up of head units and the CAN architecture is identical.
How are they both the most and least secure?
(Also, the Radio can't talk to the brakes, as much as they'd like you to think - I'd know, because I wrote the code for the interface that talks on the CAN network.)
I live in Ontario Canada. Gas here is anywhere between $4.30-4.75 a US GALLON, in CANADIAN DOLLARS (worth less than US Dollars). Meanwhile, when I'm in the USA, I can get gas for anywhere in the $3.xx a gallon range. It physically hurts to see people line up here for $4.10/US GAL gasoline. It hasn't increased public transit usage - after all, this IS North America, not Europe.
Raising prices (via tax) to give to the people (politicians) who can't spend the money properly is a BAD IDEA anyway. It's like giving drugs to a drug addict. They'll just abuse it.
Why don't you give incentives to the private sector -- Tax breaks on new cars where MPG meets a certain requirement? Gas guzzling cars would soon be off the market entirely as car makers would opt to make more efficient cars, as a profit margin on them would be greater due to lower taxes.
... to hear the next story, coming soon, about the tech support operator who was fired because (s)he was "too stupid" to be in the technical support department.
"I can afford plenty of things. Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean you should buy it. Tampons are priced to move but I have no use for them just as I have no use for a PS3." True, just because you CAN afford it doesn't mean you should buy it, however....
Buying tampons as a male would probably be a pretty inefficient use of money anyway. Its spending on something you get nothing (usable) in return for.. (Like buying Windows from Microsoft?)
AND There is a market for all higher end products. Why buy a BMW when you can afford a cheaper GM? Why buy a designer shirt when you can go to Wal-Mart...
Personally, I don't want to be seen driving a k-car in my wal-mart suit, walking around in flip-flops just because I _should_ buy something cheaper.. but then again, why make a choice on buying something before seeing all the alternatives and weighing out your options..??
The PS3 isn't even out yet. Theres no way to say if its going to be worth the extra money or not until you can actually see a product.. You wouldn't buy a car or shirt based on specifications, would you? Usually you take a test drive, or try it on...
Thanks to slashdot, I'm starting to see how companies are getting away with selling you absolute crap -- you people choose to buy it before it hits the store shelf..
It will probably be beneficial to the electronics community to know how much bandwidth we can get out of specific data networks and pipelines.. Especially when using a protocol'd network.
Being a Canadian student with very little experience in Chinese, I think that it may be harder now to get localized information about specific things in China as they'll be oddities in the dns names..
Does this mean everyone is gonna have to go to UTF-8? What about those in some BSD camps that don't have full chinese support?
The user can accidently run things that (s/)he may be ignorant of, and unfortunatly have unforseen side effects.
For example surfing to a webpage that contains an virii/spyware/crap/etc that executes upon load because of bugs in specific browsers...
Clicking an indiscriminant link by accident IS the users fault, but it shouldn't be up to the system to do everything the user says like a brainless zombie mornic mornon (yes thats moron x2 - because not thinking before doing anything is a moronic thing to do, System and user alike!)
So as you can see, IF YOU FALL ASLEEP AT THE MOUSE, and you click something deadly because you're system is a moron - reply to this with your happy thoughts about your infected/lost data.
I have a Motorolla E680, It has 50 megs built in, but an SD slot in the bottom (now filled with a 1GB card)
it also comes with real player, so I play my mp3s or mp4/real player format movies in 320x240 resolution.
Not only that is the phone has stereo sound, hand writing recognition on the touch screen, a VGA resolution camera, bluetooth and full GSM world phone capabilities.
The downside is the USB1.1, USB2.0 would have been better.
The greatest part: The phone runs linux with the J2ME over top. Write your own apps in J2ME,
for example, I can SSH from my phone to my network and deal with anything while listening to my mp3s and taking phone calls.
I've been doing this since December, Although I had to order my phone from China, it is fully english and cost me just under 600 dollars.
Debian has grown as far as users, software and continues to grow with the Linux community. Its abilities to be able to drop in a vanilla Linux kernel and go while being able to be quite flexable as far as setup goes for the user makes it one of the best distributions out there. Apt and dpkg are some of the finest software management tools I've seen in the unix community next to BSD's ports system.
Debian will continue to grow, as will the debian community hopefully for the better of the GNU/Linux world.
The Mach kernel that OS/X uses runs on PC hardware. After all, GNU/Hurd uses it. All that it needs is the layers above it to run on PC hardware and it'll work.
I don't think it would be too hard to do, either...
Apple has been slowly expanding in the last little while.. OS/X is becomming ever more popular and Apple's hardware is slowly but surely getting much better as time goes on.. If Apple creates a 64-bit arch market before Microsoft does, Apple could really take off and beat MS.. Dreams CAN come true!!
Yes, it was one of the best consoles of all time. I remember playing all the great classics. Such a great time, crowding infront of the TV now and playing with a cold beer in hand.. Brings back a lot of sweet memories.. It will live in many hearts forever.
Why not make the internet more flooded with useless crap.. of course now it'll be legal..
so when someone gets in trouble for DoS'ing someone you can say he was running a p2p client..
I can't wait till the internet becomes so flooded with crap that its unusable by everyone and hey, it'll be legal in the USA.. Way to go US government..
Since Mircosoft seems to be unable to create something 100% secure, just wait until this new technology hits the streets.
It could make the world more insecure at the same time. One flaw in the new product is just another way for people to gain access to Microsoft platforms..
Its sad to see a company try so hard and fail at the same time. I'm just glad I don't work there..:-)

Are these related to the rodents of unusual sweetness??!

I was reading, but didn't reply.
Make it 7.
Home is where the heart is.
And if you're not content with your home, wheres your heart gonna be?
(Hopefully not playing the Wii)
A DVD burnt at 1x/2x fixed that problem on my thick, older PS2. (Any Higher speeds = problematic)
And of course, with that, I'll be your friend :-)
Whew. Good thing GNU is Not Unix.

So why is this new technology anyway?
They have it, why not create a sourceforge like site for their own projects instead of using the good will of other open source companies?
or do they plan to donate some money to it to help it all as a whole??
IBM is in an odd situation no doubt, but using OpenSource public tools when properly funded seems somewhat.. rude, no?
