Try replanting them when your crops are hit by a nuclear blast. All that stuff about giant mutant corn growing from radioactive soil is just in the movies and TV. (Please, no Tommaco jokes.)
I don't know if creating a fuel dependency on vegtable crops is a good idea. I'd imagine it would be a lot easier for a terrorist to destroy crops than destroy oil fields.
Yeah, but that costs money. Trigun is already known to be successful. It costs next to nothing to air it rather than develop a new show and then watch it fail.
I've done something similar to handle low-quality audio. As long as the power requirements are low enough, I suppose the EMF won't be enough to erase anything. Still, I wonder if this "pad" comes with a warning not to leave credit cards, etc. near it?
The contact ones do. However, for transit applications, these certainly DON'T have that level of security. Why? The entire transaction can take not more than 400 ms to work with a turnstile.
Metrocards do have a serial number assigned to each one. Therefore, a MetroCard paid for using cash still has a travel history. If a police officer arrested you and found the card in your possession, the police could get a report of every place you've been while you used the card.
The reason those "swipe again" messages occur even when you swipe the card at the right speed is because the heads are dirty. Complain to the clerk in the booth to clean them.
A two stroke engine has 1:2 power stroke ratio. A four stroke engine is 1:4. Also, you need more parts for a 4 stroke engine, thus more things to go wrong with it. The major downside is the emissions from it since the engine coolant (oil) is mixed with the fuel. Anyone care to speculate on improvements to the design to make it more EV friendly?
"The idea is for XML not to specify how the information should be processed, but rather leave that task to XSL (define) templates and other post-XML processing steps," he said. "XML is supposed to be a presentation-neutral format."
There's nothing stoping anyone from making their own collaborative product that works with XML files. MS isn't going to do it, but that doesn't stop an open source solution.
Let's see...your solution is to go on bugtraq, and check every known exploit, become well versed on them all, and figure out how to protect yourself against each one manually. Considering most (if not all) of these exploits have a "proof of concept" test, why not bundle all these tests into a package and run it against your server. Wouldn't THAT be easier?
Just reading a book won't save you from the next cracker attack. However,
having a solid knowledge of the basics of web security and a list of effective
checkpoints for configuring your server, will definitely help you to prevent at
least the most trivial mistakes.
That's not good enough. I want a detailed list of exploits and how to
configure my web server not to be vulnerable. I want to know what patches
fix what. I want to know what vulnerabilities exist. Since we're not
talking about Apache and not IIS, I'll assume this information isn't being kept
a secret to prevent script kiddies from using an exploit on my box. So,
where the heck can I get a definitive answer? Is there some kind of tool I
can run (for free) that checks my system for vulnerabilities?
I like the idea of DRM. I'd love to register every piece of software on my hard drive. If a virus comes through my email filter, it can't run. That's the promise of DRM. The problem is that's not how it's going to be implemented. Someone else is going to hold the keys to my software for my own good.
Sort of... The Germans were very close. They just thought they needed heavy water to do it. When Berlin fell, you could argue that the research should have stopped since the rest of the axis powers could not have come up with such a weapon. (Of course it was feared that the Russians probably got some bomb making intelligence from their invasion of Germany.)
You don't know how much the NSA really knows. Facial recognition would have been thought too difficult until twin Isreali teens came up with a way to do it better than anyone else to date. Did the NSA have that capability long ago? Maybe, but that doesn't stop others from innovating.
It's always a race. For example, if we don't come up with a method to crack 2,048 public key encryption, someone else will. You can't assume it could only happen by perfecting a quantum computer; someone could find a way to calculate products of primes quicker. The point is, it's not a matter of if, it's when.
MP3s have always been "good enough" for the casual listening environment. But why would I want to pay for an inferior version? If I am going to actually pay for something, it will be for a CD. Heck, then I can compress it myself in whatever format I choose.

You mean the one by Kid Rock?
Yeah, but that costs money. Trigun is already known to be successful. It costs next to nothing to air it rather than develop a new show and then watch it fail.

Does Slashdot think such a system would work? Yeah, that'll solve it once and for all.
...to be ontopic, you'll have to tell us how to find them in the Google cache using no more than one search term.
The contact ones do. However, for transit applications, these certainly DON'T have that level of security. Why? The entire transaction can take not more than 400 ms to work with a turnstile.
These cards don't have that kind of range. Maybe 10cm max.

The environmentalists will be the ones having a stroke if this becomes popular. They don't even make 2 stroke lawnmowers anymore.
I'd rather ride her instead.

Why else would there be no posts?
I thought they weren't going to concentrate on PC processors anymore?
Hey, Apache is free. I guess you get what you pay for there, too.

Your method fails when a + b > INTEGER_MAX.
