There are a lot of automated banking by phone facilities that rely on the user entering their account numbers and passwords via the keypad. An attacker won't even need sophisticated speech recognition software - all they need is software looking for DTMF tones.
One problem with this is any electrical activity on the brain detected is then amplified. This makes TEMPEST attacks on the thoughts of the soldier much easier as the attacker already has an amplifier attached to the soldier. Solution? Every US Army soldier needs to wear a tin foil hat!
Sure they do. You did send in that registration card for warranty when you bought the printer, didn't you? Just that will help the SS to catch foolish criminals printing counterfeit money.
According to the article, the "natural" elemements "run out" at 92. 1) What does this mean exactly?
It means that the elements with the number of protons > 92 are not found to exist on Earth naturally.
2) Is it not possible for us to discover other natural elements?
All the elements from 1 to 92 have already been discovered. The heavier elements > 92 are all artificially made.
3) Is it inconceivable that our "new" elements could also be produced under similar conditions in nature?
The conditions for the production of these elements are not part of "nature". They are, however, present in linear accelerators.
4) Have all of these new elements only existed in very small quantities for short periods of time, under controlled conditions?
All the heavier elements have short half-lives which means they only exist for a short amount of time before decaying to different elements. They are also created when stars collapse, etc, but of course they quickly decay into other elements due to their instability.
Since sshd is enabled by default in OpenBSD 3.1 (OpenSSH 3.1), and privilege separation isn't enabled by default, doesn't that mean OpenBSD 3.1 has a remote root hole?
They're what makes the movie interesting. Most people watching movies want to spend 1-2 hours being "out of this world". Having extraordinary physics is one of the ways of achieving this.
This government learned nothing from the USA's abuse of the Social Security number, this is much worse.
ID cards are have been mandatory in Hong Kong for a very long time - they were just not "smart" yet.
Identidy theft/number abuse is NOT a problem.
As with every game - there WILL be people cheating. Unless your game has a clear distinction between cheaters and good players, you will have problems.
Is it possible to distribute a patch for a GPL'ed program to be under a different license, such as BSD, much like LAME is a patch to the ISO reference code for mpeg layer 3 encoder??
I know you privacy activists will get me for this. But lets say d.net encodes the intel processor ids/mac address within each key block. Since each individual machine would have a unique id, you can check if the same machine is returning unfeasible amounts of say 3000 blocks/processor/day.
Althought UNIX is some 30 year old technology, Linux, however, is not. It may be some 30 year old concept, but Linux did _not_ start in the 70s. Linux, if anything, is younger than Windows...
> I think that the technology by itself is a great thing to have, but instead of cloning, why not go into the direction of regeneration, rejuvination so that we would be healing ourselves.
one of my thoughts is, cloning is great. We can take cells from our body and store it in a bank. When we need replacement organs we just clone someone from the cells we stored when we were young. Tadah! New Body!
The article really talks about there could be life on Mars... but if there was life on Mars, and we can't survive in that environment, would we want to?
Sounds much like the Red/Green/Blue Mars series of books that I have read (can't remember the author dammit!). Terraforming with microbes. This idea isn't too new. Like many things that have since happened (such as Arthur C Clarke's prophecy of a network of satellites), I'm sure this terraforming of Mars will happen in the future. Now the question is: Do we really want to terraform Mars ?

I'm sure you'll find things much different at your ultimate destination.
So getting past Saint Peter is easier than getting into the US...

How about this?

How to UnCap Motorola Surfboard Cable Modems
Also covered was this previous article on slashdot: Security Focus on Cable Modem Uncapping
It's not surprising that their computers have been seized - they're criminals stealing from other cable users afterall.
Since sshd is enabled by default in OpenBSD 3.1 (OpenSSH 3.1), and privilege separation isn't enabled by default, doesn't that mean OpenBSD 3.1 has a remote root hole?
For privilege separation to work on the 2.2 machines, you'll have to disable compression by putting "Compression no" into sshd_config.
Alternatively, disable privilege separation by putting "UsePrivilegeSeparation no" into sshd_config.

dual layer/dual sided CDs take a while to recognize

I'm sure you meant DVDs... but it would be a grave bug if the PSX could recognise stuff that doesn't exist

funny how the libretto still has "the other OS"'s logo on it :)

Heheh.. that's what I thought too... sorry didn't see your post before I posted my own :)
