The users I manage are completely unpredictable. Not to sound like a Luddite, but there is no technology that will ever predict what my users do. If there is a way to do it, it will be done. Millions of monkeys with millions of typewriters, and that is a great analogy for what I have seen...
the tech industry will be driven mostly by the worlds current events. More emphasis on security, but aside from that, unless you can predict who is going to bomb who next...
why is this news? Of course DRMP embedded in stuff will slow the stuff down. Running virus protection takes processor cycles too, so security == overhead there.
Generation X (those born between 1966 and 1975) have been damaged by the fall of the economy
The economy right now is far stronger than it was 10 years ago. That was 1992. The economy right now is far stronger than it was 20 years ago. That was 1982. From the perspective of someone born in 1966-1975, how has the economy fallen?
While not a microsoft fan by any stretch, I don't think this is necessarily a bad idea because of this: Now, when a hacker/virus/trojan attacks, maybe Microsoft will have to accept some accountability, after all I am paying for the security. As it is now, we get hit by nimda, microsoft is not really liable for any damages. If I am paying for security, maybe they would be liable. Just a thought.
like when we needed oil in the 70s, we just annexed saudi arabia. Oh wait, we didn't. In the 80s when the japanese auto makers were killing us in the markets, we led a coup there. Hmm, we didn't do that either. Kuwait? We put back the same government that was there before saddam attacked. Check your history... when have we EVER installed a pro-american government in order to obtain resources? We have done so for other reasons, mostly to replace totalitarian dictatorships with democracy. But we have never done this to get resources.
as many U networks are run by students that may not have the knowledge/experience that you would find in the private sector? NOT A TROLL, this is an observation of mine...
the person that wins this thing is most likely to drink large amounts of pepsi? Chances are they will be fatter than me, and I am in no condition for space travel. Wonder if they will put the winner on a year long diet or something. Still gonna stick with the dew though...
Movies aside, killer asteroids rank WAY down there on my list of worries. Lets see, what has a better chance of killing me: 1. Basement Stairs 2. Lightning 3. Bees 4. Falling coconuts (look it up, it really happens) 5. Brain embolism 6. CowboyNeal
Okay, you have massive amounts of this raw data. I have always thought the problem isn't the collection of the data but rather the mining of the data. Am I wrong? and I didn't see anything beyond the data collection in the article.
Usually I say it is trivial to bypass almost any security measure, but after reading the article, it sounds like this one could be tough to crack, as these are not 'normal' off the shelf CDs
Fortunately for/. type people, I bet these CDs will be expensive enough that they wont be used en masse by CD publishers...
uhhh... does the corporation have the right to free speech or do PEOPLE within the corporation retain that right? Just because you work for a corporation does not mean you give up your right to free speech. Nice try, next....
What is a corporation made out of? Well, judging by your earlier post, you just might not have the horsepower upstairs to figure it out, so I'll answer for you. Corporations are made out of PEOPLE.
And what human-like rights does a corporation have? Really, I would like to know what "human-like" rights that a corporation has.

I know that virtual card machines have to maintain virtual decks, but would these card counting schemes apply to them as well? And how might that affect detection of your methods by the casino?

From what I have seen as a contractor, I bet 80% of the computers in the US have had a virus at one time or another.

I hold a patent on any usage of 'IANAL', that will be 299$ for the licensing. btw, what does IANAL mean?
