They need to come up with a way to embed the device into a credit card.
Here in the Netherlands you my bank uses a machine that you put your bank card into (it is a chip/pin card), you then tap in your pin and a 8 digit number displayed during the login sequence. The machine gives you a response that you enter back on the page.
You get challanged a second time when you commit all the transactions you have made during the session, you see the transactions and do another code/response cycle to commit them.
Yeah it's a hasssle but I do sooo like having a full-feature online bank account that nobody else can get at, even with a keylogger, even if I use it from an internet cafe.
Any machine will work with any card! I've used my friends machines at their house no problem. It's small, ubiqutous and the batteries seem to last a crazy amount of time, mine is 4 years old and still going.
The downside of all the above is that if anyone gets your card and pin the can also do online banking as well as cashpointing the money. But it's tied to the card (you have to tell the website it's issue number), once a card is reported stolen it will not work online eiter.
I'm sure there is some attack for it, but it beats anything else I have seen hands down. Bank is ABN AMRO.
I mean it's incredible, the new windoze name has only been known for half a day, and already evil linux commies are trying to cash in on their intellectual properties.
I normally ignore Drones, but feeling bored today.
Detaining guerillas/terrorists who took up arms against us overseas, then bringing them to a safer place where they can be interrogated, housed, etc.? Good idea! Great idea!
The same people who were so wrong about WMD's simply went to the local poppy dealer and asked 'where da terrorists at?' taking his word as all the proof necesscary. Just like they asked lots of iraqi dissidents 'Where da WMDs at?'. In both cases the answer was wrong due to the bias of the people being asked.
popular belief across the world that they're just a huge group of loud, sadistic, evil christians. OK, they're very loud.
We think they're xenophobic and brutal too.
They've begun a process to give them hearings and present their cases
Secret trials, secret evidence? I suppose they meet some definition of 'process', no justice involved though.
Please don't blame others for your extreme paranoia and prejudice. Thanks
Why are US DSL lines sooo asymettric. 6Mb down, 0.25Mb up, etc.. My experience here in yrp is that things are more even, 8Mb down usually gives 2Mb up, etc. Do US provides buy their upstream bandwidth asymetrically too? So they have to cap customers upload. Or are they just a bunch of ex TV retards who think of the Internet as a TV with the remote connected directly to their marketing database? and are horrified/confused by the idea that other people might want to broadcast too. Maybe I'm too cynical, and this is just how people want it.
Yep, but if you look carefully at the Enviromentalists class reunion photo's you can see the arms of the Boeing and MD spin doctors sticking up their asses. Of course, no honour amongst zealots, so that all changed when the Enviros started pointing out that airplanes pollute the stratosphere directly, without the fumes having to migrate from ground level.
Which is why the commercial packages in this area bill themselves as 'Change Request Management systems'. And are neutral about the nature of the change, be it a defect, enhancement, non-functional fix (typo) or change to non-deliverable documentation/data or tool.
Please notice how I do not talk of 'bugs', the correct word is 'Defect'. If we were more rigerous in reminding people (especially management and consumers) of this maybe the IT industry would finally deliver some quality.
Interestingly, a status report broadcast from the ESA site (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/video/huygens/chseq4 _14012005_wmplow.wmv WindzeMedia only I'm afraid;-) mentions that some data (from the DWE packge) can be picked up direct from the carrier.. Whether this was expected I don't know..
Lessee... The OS coming up is the least of my worries. On 3 servers I have 5 different FlexLM licenced products plus 4 other propietary licence servers. Then there are 3 different types of DB server. Add in an apache server, one Samba, DNS (and backup), sendmail, NFS, network backup server and clients, FTP, yadda yadda yadda.
This is the server backend to a rapid development embedded development team. It all has to run on 3 systems 'cos that's all we can afford. Most of the licencing is cross-compilers and stuff, from smaller suppliers, not all 100% reliable, and changes all the time as we do lots of very small projects. The Db's are for our source control, requirements and CRM system, and very flakey. Plus we run internal reference websites made of spit, string and perl.
I'd love to be in a place with more resources or a simpler setup, but I'm not (and I'm also happy, this place has a high geek satisfaction rating).
The bottom line is that a reboot test gives me more confidence than 'man rc.d'.
Humm, and how do you react when you come in to the office after a long weekend and find the server is locked in a panic cycle, because some change you made months ago means it won't boot properly? No doubt you blame everybody; developers, documenters, compilers, colleagues, god etc.. But the real reason it failed is because you did not test properly.
Personally, I know my servers can survive a reboot, because I test them for that. If I make any serious change that may affect startup I assume it will fail, and then set out to prove myself wrong.
And your point is. I did google, and I didn't trust the sites claiming Rape at Abu Gharib any more than I would trust the list of sites you get if you search for: 'John Kerry gay Lover'
Show me a reputable organisation claiming this, not one full of entrenched fanatics, and I'll reconsider.
PS, Am I the only one to see the irony of these responses backing up something by saying 'It's true, Google has lots of links..' coming in an story related to online 'authorities'?
Hang on.. I'm hardly a fan of US forign policy in general, and it's worst excesses (Abu Gharib, Guantanamo, Diego Garcia, Baghram etc ad infinitum) in particular. But rape is NOT something that seems to occur in US torture centres. Plenty of less penitrative sexual humiliation, yes, and all kinds of other abuses, all of which show Donny R and cronies as the sort of scum they are. But trying to spin rape onto the charges they will eventually face, does nothing to promote truth and justice.
Bittorrent is a system that rewards you the more you upload. If you're on an asymmetric line it will probably max the UL even if the DL is not so good. If most users in the swarm are on massively asymmetric lines, well the total upload bandwidth available will be terrible. And you'll all be maxed UL while throttled DL.
The real issue here is greed, bittorrent is a co-operative system. Do you let torrents run to a share ratio over 1:1? I leave them until I've shared twice what I downloaded. I Contribute. If you are not willing to pay for the upload bandwidth to contribute properly, don't expect sympathy from those of us who do.
Oh, and you have to be willing to -wait- (yep, strange concept to most people I realize) for the torrent to complete. Of course you can always try to find a ftp, or whatever, site that can match your awesome download bandwidth. But I bet you want that for free too.
Basically, Bittorrent is socialist, greed is not a attribute that it rewards. But it's in a capatalist system, so you can have an alternative. Try Kazzaa.
Remember that the wings have to generate lift too, this is (effectively) another drag-inducing mechanism. Therefore wing efficiency will be a big factor, I'd assume this thing has -very- efficient wings.
I like the hole in the stand, that will allow you to at least hide the power cable from obvious view. For the rest it depends on how much stuff you're hooking up,
WiFi is a $80 option, for me that would be it, apart from occasionally plugging my camera in.
But I think a front, or side USB slot would have made casual hookups easier.
Actually the Pro-Bush brigade were very active during the Dems convention. They control the Mass Media you see.. They just vandalize the information space, rather than the sidewalk, and their nazi'ism is not water soluable.

I wonder of the writers/copyright holders of Call of Cthulhu would say to that.
"Prior Art"
I hope.
Will this be the worlds first /. 'd snail mail box?
:-)
Nope. Remember what we did to Alan Ralsky
if I was one of their customers and found out about this type of censorship
And how will you find out about it? Theyre censoring unfavorable opinions..
Microsoft are like, so gonna sue their asses.
I mean it's incredible, the new windoze name has only been known for half a day, and already evil linux commies are trying to cash in on their intellectual properties.
... and turn it into an orbiting nuclear weapons platform!
But then we would have to send Clint Eastwood up later to blast it to the moon, and you know, he's getting old man.. What if he messes up this time?
show them the good things in their life
Yeah, that works.
When I was really depressed I think A lot of prats telling me how wonderful it all is would have pushed me off the bridge for sure.
Fortunately my friends were able to say 'Yeah, bush, IP laws, trolls and Spin doctors, it sucks OK'.
I owe them my life because they gave me a real future, not the happy clappy delusional (religious) idiots.

If youur ISP does not provide it, get a better ISP.

Humm, pot calling the kettle black there.
Boy, the old internet users had no idea what was coming.
I thought I could see how bad it would get, but I underestimated so badly... sigh.

Yes, unfortunately :-(
As I understand it our ground stations can (just) sense the carrier signal, but cannot resolve the data stream within it.
Announcement will appear here.. :)

Get a grip.

Well.. that's not DSL, it's very ADSL.

The trick is to kill the ignition by turning the keys.
The Danger is that autopilot takes over and you -remove- the keys!
Crash (Steering Lock clicks in and you are turning, whether you want to or not).
Which is whyn people are taught to never touch the keys while driving. I was told this by my instructor years ago.. I can see the logic.
Think Id like to see a killswitch, like on my bike.
