I just got around to an nmap today and that server has ports 8000 and 17300 open. I'm not sure but I've got a feeling those aren't both legitimate openings.
So when will we see these in arcades? I'd go to one to give it a try. Also, if they just produced the sensor, maybe as a USB interface, they could sell it with some software as a way to practice relaxing.
A lot of these problems are also applicable or alleviated with a cell phone. I don't have a land line, (well, one for DSL, but no phone #), and the papa johns can still find me.
Hopefully this TV out isn't like the one on my IBM laptop and fv25 shuttle motherboard. Those are sparatic, they shut off the monitor, they don't correctly align on the screen, they go blank randomly, and they reduce the monitor resolution when you have the option turned on. They are absolutely terrible.
Obviously you have never worked for the federal government. At a certain point, bulk (money/ employees) adds people whos only job is to put there hands in other peoples pudding.
I hate to tell you but the people who did that during high school are car sales men (though I don't necesarily think used!) while I'm a systems engineer for a multi-billion dollar DoD agency.
Just if you are a usbank member? I've known to beware any email claiming to need my log in for a long time. (I remember when it was a big thing fishing for AOL accounts and I'm sure it goes back MUCH farther.)
I'm happy about that. I was looking forward to Longhorn until they said it was taken out. Since It's back in I'll definately get a copy or 2. (don't know how many of my computers it'll run on though.)
I do find it interesting that software has grown to a diversity and distribution among an interrelated network that we can now start treating it as biological diversity. I wonder if there are any other coorilations and possibly assertions we can make with reguard to this relationship.
Not really. US DoD has a policy that generally implies they trust their local employees (like I can bring my cell into work but not into a secure building somewhere else when I'm visiting).
The reason USB keys and other storage devices are frowned upon is that in use, someone can very easily put something FOUO, Secret, or just generally private on a key on accident. (We have CD Burners in our computer and this type of thing happens ALL the time w/ cd burners. let alone the easy of USB keys.)
Considering the number of times I've seen someone's cell phone go off in a classified meeting, I don't think this is that serious a problem. Hell, I've seen the deputy CIO's phone go off.
I agree that they are probably being fair with their assessments. I agree though that the signifigant information would be how many exploits are purely theoretical and how many exploited.
I would like to know how the fact that the source is available for linux and signifigant portions of OSX affects the bug comparison. I think a lot of open source bugs are discovered in source while windows ones are discovered in practice. I would think this emplies that the windows source has signifigantly more bugs and we just can't find them since we don't have source access.
Also, the comparison of time to fix the bugs of the levels evaluated.
That said, I wouldn't discount the legitimacy of their findings.
It seems that everyone believes the point is that it might not be completely secure. BIG DEAL. The point is that the DVD's can't just be loaned out. Remember how the hulk was copied. A screener dvd, (one that was watermarked), was lent to a friend who decided no-one would catch him if he uploaded it. He was caught but that doesn't help that the movie was uploaded. I'd say the screeners are probably fairly trustworthy. This will 1: Keep them from loaning their disks out, (which is most likely the primary concern) and 2: make it a little tougher so that if their friend in batswana sais, "Hey, I'd REALLY like to see that", they can't say, "well, ok, let me copy it and send it over". Instead when a friend wants to watch it they'll go, "I'm sorry, it only works on my dvd player. Do you want to come over and watch it?" Yes, if they want to distribute a copy of it, they'll probably be able to, but I doubt thats the problem.
Hell, I'd start flooding the area in question with radiation the second the hostage negotiation team arrived. That gets rid of any chance they see SWAT coming.
As for quick things such as military searches and assaults, I've got a feeling that unless we're raiding the secret russian lab it's going to be a bunch of marines raiding some 3rd world building and john doe inside isn't going to go, "Gee, I can't seem to get the latest cricket game, the interference is probably coming from a wall-penetrating radar". (And in the case we are raiding a secret russian lab, we should be sending snake or the guy from splinter cell or something.)

forgive me for reading not reading the article as I don't want to bother with registration, but whats the wireless transmitter for? Audio?

1. Name operating system _indows
2. Be sued by MS
3. Profit!
Yeah, they seem to be setting their goals a little high. I t hink they should start down around 2.5k and work their way up.

I see this page and the first thing that comes to mine "so who wants to hack it first?"

Thanks to this story, we now know step 2!

I thought that winFS got pushed out of Longhorn. Though maybe it was just the relational database aspect of winFS.

Well I'll be. I didn't know that.

Great. I should have figured this comment would be terribly redunant. Feel free to mod me down. I deserve it.
... how many people with those huge stereos didn't have the money left over for the CD player and so are actually using the radio? (Not many.)
I didn't mean the hostage taker. I meant the SWAT team.

This is an outrage to all of us who toiled for years to become script kiddies and received no formal documentation of our accomplishments.
