  1. Re:Good on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 1

    for what its worth, i wasn't disagreeing with your vision either. I like the idea of a society like that- but I was trying to point out that you do then have a bunch of unattended, relatively unmonitored vehicles with goods that would be easy targets. Especially if you consider that if a criminal knows they're all empty of people and they -really- want something in one of them, they might be more inclined to think "whats the harm in blowing up the one in front?"

    nobody said anything about 100mph- but even so, blow up, deflate, EMP, disable, whatever the car in front and behind if necessary, and viola, unattended goods.

    70 mph in Iowa and other parts of the midwest- Montanna too I think (75 even?). But yeah, 15 mph.

    no need- it was internal use and built in to a proprietary app- it didn't use iptables or anything- it just opened the correct port directly. It never made a dime anyway.

    I hadn't heard of that. I originally wrote that around '98, so it probably predates both. Nice to see a more serious project.

  10. Hm on Cryptographically Hiding TCP Ports · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of something I wrote once that listens on a UDP port that moves on a time based algorithm, you send a signed message to the UDP port and if your key is right, it opens a random port and tells you what that is. You must be in the auth keys/users list and you must know the time algorithm- otherwise the box sits quiet like it was never there.

  17. RHEL + RHN on Is CentOS Hurting Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    RHEL also provides the RHN which is a powerful framework for managing updates for large quantities of machines, among other things.

    CentOS provides an audience for bug reporting and even a source for patches. Closing the source to RHEL customers only may be possible (is that legal?), but the'll pay a price. The mega enterpise is RHELs market and CentOS won't hurt that market much.

  18. Re:i hate these suits on Seagate Offers Refunds on 6.2 Million Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    the forms all say that, but then still require date of purchase, etc- as far as I can tell. They also stipulate retail only- as did IBM, so Newegg customers, etc are out of luck!

  19. i hate these suits on Seagate Offers Refunds on 6.2 Million Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd love to get what I supposedly deserve, only I don't keep receipts for hard drives I bought over a year ago. What's wrong with going by serial and date of manufacture?

    The 75GXP refund bit me (I had the receipts for some reason) because I bought OEM- bastards. I've bought mostly retail seagates (about 15 maybe in the window for the suit) but I don't have the receipts.

    A few will benefit, the rest get tossed.

  20. hm on Single Nanotube Becomes World's Smallest Radio · · Score: 1

    I skimmed TFA, and maybe I missed it- how are they getting the audio? Are they sure that the wire to get the audio out isn't acting as the antenna or somesuch? It seems awfully odd to me that this litte tiny thing can not only pick up a 1+ meter long wave -and- hook up to something. It seems hard to believe that the interface isn't the thing doing some of the work.
