Sorry for posting this OT, but I just noticed that no karam information is displayed on my user page, and my +1 bonus seems to have dissapeared. Has anyone else noticed this?
Using the prototype, the researchers were able to read 25 kilobytes, or thousand bytes, of data per second, said Cho. This is relatively slow -- it would take 10 seconds to retrieve a 250-page book at that speed, assuming 1,000 characters per page. It is possible to increase the read speed to 3.75 megabytes per second, said Cho. This would make it possible to retrieve the information contained in about 150 books in 10 seconds. Current disk drives have read speeds of about 20 to 50 megabytes, or million bytes, per second.
There's lots of stuff you can do on your own if you don't want to hook up with a 'professional' terrorist network. The cookbook also goes over things like credit-card fraud and the like for funding sources.
The average voter couldn't give a shit about copyrighted works created 120 years ago or whatever, and even if they did understand the issues involved they couldn't be pissed to write their representative or whatever.
There's no way that anything can modify your files if you've gone in and change the permissions, even if you have admin privs (of course, if you do have admin access, you can change the permissions back again)
If you're doing it over a network, there's no chance to change anything, unless microsoft actualy included exploit code in there software, and then never patched the exploit (which I doubt)
I mean, maybe if you had tens of millions of dollars to analyze how humans do specific tasks compared to computers you might be able to code something up, but just guessing? I don't believe anyone can come up with solutions to this without doing huge amounts of research.
It's one thing to try to write a program that does things as well as humans, it's a whole other things like humans. And it's impossible without an operative definition of 'humanness'
Especially given that there is such a huge range of how 'well' people do things. I mean, some people are idiots, and some are geniuses. How can anyone write a program that can tell the difference between Deep Fritz and a grandmaster, and a program making lots of intentional errors and someone who doesn't know chess? And every class of player in between?
God, why I am I saying this? Is it that important to my life to spend time typing out inconsiquential facts for random people over the internet? I need a life...
Your post becomes even more relevant when you consider the fact that so many web-developers, particularly the 'artistic' kind use Macs. Not that I'm a Mac zealot, far from it, but I'm just stating facts. So many web designers switching to $NOT_IE will really help kill IEs total dominance. If not in numbers, in the hearts and minds of developers.
If you read the artical, you'll see that they code they released was for a UNIX Mp3 player, which means they certanly have the capacity to infect Unix machines using mpeg123, I doubt windows programs would be much harder, and I DID just upgraded winamp to cover up a buffer overflow problem in the id3 tag...
An MP3 based virus is possible these days, and it could easily spread to all your mp3s once activated. (even on unix, since obviously your mp3 player is going to have access to those files, unless they are read-only)
The submitter is acting like this is the first time He's heard of RFID. The idea has been around for years and they're only now getting to the point where they're going into.
RFID tags need to be printed on paper, so unless you have something like a magazine you'll be able to get rid of the RFID tags just by removing the wrapper or sales tag. Duh. It's not like these things are going to be attached to everything permanently just while they're in the store. It's basically a replacement for the barcode.
First, they ask you which side you want to drive from--the controls slide easily to either side.
Wow, you'll be able to switch drivers without even stopping! This'll be great if you don't have a drivers license and your passenger does, and you get stopped by the cops:P
We have all seen the "run in sandbox" option. It is called Java... I guess java applets to not present a serious threat to security, but they are so crippled as a result...
Java applets were crippled by Microsoft, and mostly Netscape's crappy implementations, not by their sandbox. Java applets can access more resources if the user wants to allow it, and can even be restricted to spesific files and hosts for internet access.
I don't see how that could possibly be the case. It would be great for security, IE preventing breakins and the like, but it wouldn't really give anyone any DRM protection, because you could just install the public keys of cracking teams.

So about 36 novels/hour.
That would never, ever work with magnetic hard drives.
Go read the anarchist cookbook

I can see why Leasing is so pessimistic...

Then what's the phoenix-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz file doing up there?

It took like a year to release, and before then you had to use 3rd party hacks to get it to work.
If you're talking about simply sending queries to a p2p network and storing the list of files that they have, that's not going to be illegal
But sending someone a virus that infects other mp3s certanly is.

Why don't you just build a jammer that works at that frequency? Wouldn't need to use much power...

And so, patents in ireland only take one day to be aproved and/or posted to their website? That's pretty impressive!
I remember reading about a unit that connected to the NES in Nintendo Power back in the day.
Think there's a chance he filed the patent on some other days then last wenesday and last friday?
Just write code for MS, Real, and Quicktime APIs, and you'll have everything you need.

That one's a laugh riot...

So, they'll basicaly be saying: "set of data is verified as secure by HP, we won't cover any modifications, run them at your own risk."
It seems totaly resonable to me, and you can still share bit-perfict copies with their signatures.
