If you have a NAT and only one IP facing the net, but a bunch of machines using network address translation, can the web site determine how many unique users there are attached to that IP?
Is it even possible for someone to be functional in all the different areas that we expect them too? Nearly every person should have a fundamental graps of how to maintain a car (and fix it), how to diet, how to do financial planning, what is and isn't against the law, the tax code, and yes of course, computer security among others. My guess is most people aren't going to take the time to learn these items, especiallly since very few people walk out of school with background in this stuff.
My only point is that we should strive to know how our complex lives function, but we shouldn't immediately call somebody dumb or get frustrated because they don't know what virus protection or spyware or how to RTFM. And no matter how good of a basic book is available, not everyone will read it. Just how many great books are available on car repair and maintenance, versus how many people know how to do it?

Apparently the "Flaw" was that records were accessed by a unique ID in the URL. Change the Unique ID, see a different record.
The site used digital certs to protect authentication, so it wasn't amtter of the wrong users getting in. But once inside, clearly there's a problem with access rights (the app probably accessed all records as privleged user) and coding.
Isn't adding more brightness than what the author originally intended somewhat akin to pressing the "Mega-Bass" button on your stereo to get more bass than the musician originally intended? Is that a good thing?
I think that striving for accuracy and balance of the elements is probably more important than striving for the maximum ____ your system can deliver.
perspective, but as the iPod Mini made perfectly clear, people will pay for "small is cool". How many people on this very board says "but for only $100 you get 16G more storage". Yet it was the mini in different colors that sold.
How many people bought a Nano even though they had a perfectly fine player at home anyways?
People don't buy on need or feature/function alone.
The preferred device for handheld emulation will be GPX2. GPX2 is the sequel to the former gamepark device.

CNET commentator mentions that you should take the results with a grain of salt. A company that sells tokens wouldn't publish a report saying that most people are ok with passwords. And also note at the end - the actual survey data is not available to you unless you're a member of the media.
Then there's also the fact that Lloyds performed a survey that contradicts the findings - passwords are fine as long as there's proper education.
On the local radio station here in the bay area (KGO 810) this morning, they were reporting the exact opposite - that the communications systems performed remarkably well considering the conditions.
Because of the coverage in cell towers, many people were able to continue to communicate during the storm. In fact, many people were using the SMS system to communicate.
THey also mentioned that the Internet functioned remarkably well, as it has the capabilities to route communications around trouble areas. Not sure what they were referring to, but it was brought up.
Isn't the biometric profile a hash in the first place? (i.e. generating a unique profile based on a person's characteristics)
So this proposal of generating a biometric profile based on a distortion is applying a salt to hash a hash?
Is hashing a hash more secure?
It also seems to perpetuate a big problem in the biometric industry that exists right now - no interoperability for profiles, thus ensuring that you're locked in to a vendor.
If you need a well-written email to do phishing, some email that you want to spam to try and phish people, well, you just go here to this anti-phishing.org site because they have a library of all phishes that have been sent around the world.
I originally remember that there was a mandate that HDTV tuner manufacturers needed to support the broadcast flag in all devices manufactured after July 2005, regardless of whether the broadcast flag was activated or not. It was the buying impetus - get a tuner card now before the new ones come out.
So since the flag wasn't activated yet, does that mean that HDTV hardware manufacturers can continue to make devices that ignore the yet-to-be-implemented broadcast flag, or will the post-July devices continue as scheduled to honor the flag as soon as it's implemented?
In America, we won't see the same kind of phenom because there isn't really a business model in place for a bunch of mom & pop electronic shops to duke it out on the same street. In the US, the buying locations for tech boils down to the big box stores, the major retailers, and online. In Akihabara, it is thousands of little stores lined up on about 8 crowded blocks selling to the same tech/anime/camera fanatics.
Nor is there an easy place to put it in the US - we expect close parking to everything, but Akihabara is located right next to both major train lines in a commuter nation). The camera store lines in New York don't even come close to what Akihabara is like.
Japan's air conditioning costs (in Tokyo at least) is partly due to the overconstruction of skyscrapers. The density of the skyscrapers prevents airflow from the ocean from ever reaching the central part of the city, and although I forgot the statistic, there's been a very large rise in the average temperature over the last 50 years after Tokyo was rebuilt.
So it's not just about throwing away a car for a more efficient one. More efficient city planning would have prevented rising temp costs. But the Japanese culture is very heavily oriented to the business suit, and even on weekends, nobody wears shorts except for kids, and that's what part of the campaign is starting with first.
Honestly, can you really call "follow the directions" a marketing ploy? While there are some problematic rebate programs, in general I haven't seen something outright deceptive. The majority of problems I've seen are from people who didn't bother to read the directions on how to submit the form, and subsequently were denied. That, to me, falls far short of being a ploy.
