I have a Linksys WRT54G flashed with DD-WRT firmware. I terminated all the patch cables from it onto a cinder block, unplugged the power adapter, put the whole thing in a grounded lead-coated copper box riveted AND welded shut, encased the whole box in six cubic feet of concrete, and buried it 4 feet under my well-watered garden. Oh, and I have a dog guarding my yard. A REALLY BIG dog with a laser strapped to its head. The whole process took about 1.5 hours. I guess I could have saved 30 minutes and just done what you did, but... I think mine is more secure.
That reminds me... back in the days before graphical HTML pages really caught on (i.e. the web was just a nifty, more versatile gopher), I stumbled on a page that had the first 10,000 digits of the square root of 9.
Since Sanderson is my new favorite author, this bodes well for my enjoyment of the series. I actually haven't read the last couple of books for various reasons that anybody familiar with the series should understand. But this is the best news I've heard in months!
No, pork is the culinary name for meat from the domestic pig. This is a mechanized weapons platform, and falls under the heading "robotics." There are other differences as well (for example: pork is sometimes called "the other white meat" while this particular robotic tank has almost certainly never been called that (at least until some wise-cracking slashdot poster proves me wrong)), but that first one is the major difference.
Sorry, you've got the dimensions wrong. This is ENERGY. Libraries of Congress are INFORMATION or TEXT. The proper unit here is Bonfires of Congress. But I'm not sure that will be adopted as an SI unit anytime soon, given how book-burnings are rather out of vogue these days.
That's true. However, in the cases you mention, the exploit of the armor came out several centuries before the improvement in armor that made that exploit less dangerous. (And the newer armor is only _resistant_ to the attack, not truly attack-proof.)
I don't think our current economy would do well if it had to go several centuries before finding a new method of encryption. Fortunately for us, there are several well-known encryption schemes that do not rely on the difficulty of product-of-large-primes factorization.
Okay, this is just ridiculous. How many times on Slashdot have I heard the argument that the RIAA "forc[ed] overpriced albums down the throats of the consumer"? People have a choice whether to buy the album or not. If you buy music that way, you are supporting the business model. If you download the music, you are breaking the law. But there are other options available to you. You can buy independent lables' music. You can listen to the radio (at least for the moment). You can choose to do other things with your spare brain cycles than listen to music. There are countless choices, only two of which are "Pay big bucks or break the law."
I'm not saying the business model they've relied on is good and ought to be supported. I'm also not saying that downloading music is immoral... but it IS illegal. As a consumer, put your money where your mouth is... or in this case, DON'T put your money where your mouth ISN'T. They'll have to change their business model when it stops working. And in fact, they ARE changing their business model. They're changing it to get money by suing those who break the law by illegally downloading music. You can make them change THAT model too by just not downloading their music. What do you think would happen if we just showed the RIAA et al that we just don't CARE about their music? They'd lose any economic clout that they currently have and wither away, or change until they can find a way to engage the consumer's interest again.
But don't blame the RIAA for your choice to buy their music, or for your choice to illegally download it! You're just playing their game either way.
I think you're confusing refraction and index of refraction (or refractive index, or refractivity). Light refraction is the changing of the direction of the light, which happens because of differing indices of refraction between two media and non-perpendicular angles of incidence. Changing the angle of incidence (by changing the shape of the lens) changes the refraction, though the INDEX of refraction of that particular material stays constant.
Except in Dune, the oil was suspended in a force field, allowing perfect (and perfectly adjustable) refraction. I've long wanted a telescope like that. No more recollimating my scope every time I take it somewhere out in the boonies over a bumpy dirt road!
Make sure you have Asterisk listening for inband (i.e. during conversations) DTMF commands
When your chosen command is heard, have Asterisk add the callerid number to a database (I just used the internal Asterisk db, but you could use any construct you wished)
Any time a call comes in, check its CID against that database. If it is found, reroute to the "We don't accept your calls" message. Hang up after the message plays.
Alternately, you can make a webform that puts the input number into the DB. (But the way described above is simpler UI and is nicer because you can say "Did you hear those tones? They mean that you won't be able to call here anymore." You can also be cruel by saying "Oh, would you please hit *371 (or whatever) for me? Great, you just locked yourself out of our system. Thanks! -click-")
I guess it depends on your phone system's capabilities, but I set up a call-blocking system for one of my customers (using Asterisk) where, if an unwanted caller calls in, they can hit a key combination and the system flags the call as not-acceptable. In the future, if any calls come in from that number, they get sent to a generic message telling them that they have been added to a "reject call" list, and giving them instructions on how to be removed from that list (i.e. send a letter explaining why you should be allowed to call) in case of false positives.
Because as we move to hybrid gas-electric vehicles, more and more mechanics are finding they need a degree in electronics just to be able to fix your car. So to level the playing field, we felt that electronics geeks should have to learn how to fix an engine too.
Then there's me. I pay for a 6Mb down / 384Kb up link from Comcast. My uplink is strictly throttled to 384k; but I've tested my downlink throughput as high as 11.7Mb! The lowest I've seen is around 5. It all has to do with what traffic is on the network at the time.
Whether or not it could fall into that definition, there is a better word to use: extortion.
I disagree. The spammers here were not asking BlueSecurity for money, they wanted them dead. Gone. Off the net. It's not exactly extortion to say "Die or I'll take care of it for you."
Wow. I've never heard this put so clearly and succinctly. And, might I add, that you used a very appropriate analogy for this venue.
When I'm reading something and I come across a spelling or grammatical error, it's not just that I mis-parse the sentence, but the error grabs my attention and distracts me from what the sentence means to how the sentence is constructed. Maybe that's why there are so many rants about spelling and grammar -- not because people can't tell what the writer is trying to say, but because the errors distract from the topic at hand. You don't get grammer flames in response to well-written comments or articles, after all.

Just my take on it. ;)

Google calendar handles resource scheduling, if you go with the Professional (paid) version.
now that's just stupid, by writing Unicode instead of bits you can only use 1/16 the paper.
Haven't they learned ANYTHING from science fiction?? Geez. Well, there goes the neighborhood.

Hmm, I'd think landing on Sol would be harder.

this is a TWO PARTY system.
