Again, my point is that how many makes of boxes will this work on? Each box they will have to find a different technique to disable it. How much does this cost in research?
Why would one refer to error checking as bullet-proofing? I find it a stretch to call an error a "bullet." only a marketing department could come up with such terminology.
Thats why you won't see viruses in Java. As an extension I reluctantly must say that.NET will also hinder viruses if it implements permissions properly.
No, and the comment was not insightful, it was just plain wrong.
You only get a virus from executing code. JPEGs contain no code to be executed. Period. HTML is a totally unrelated issue. (notice the L stands for Language...)
I agree that using your intelligence by not executing attachments only works if IE does not execute them for you. Their is no guarantee(except from M$) that IE wont execute code on its own.
Linux will begin to experience a virus flood as soon as the Windows flood ends.
I think that is an intelligent statement. Most corporations in the US care about profits and the fact is that file sharers use broadband. Do the cable companies thing that people seeking broadband are people who really dont need broadband? It appears they do.
I dont do file swapping but take this to heart. People already will swap ISPs around if the ping is not good enough. You dont think they will if you limit their abilitiy to play RTCW or DoomIII???
Also note that AT&T is reducing their phone rates in MI due to competition. Which means they always could afford to competition or not. When cable cos get competition they will follow suite.
Just you wait. The internet will be the second coming of the messiah. Nobody can stop it! of course their will be a time when we will have to die to keep it going, but thats not quite yet.
I wish I coudl just vote that post up like I do on dslreports.com as opposed to having to add my own post. That way we could probably eliminate about 75% of the redundant posts here.
Remember that Russians hacked into the M$ network and stole the XP code right? How easy is it to slip in a backdoor and upload?
Further, if someone hacked sourceforge tons of developers would be posting in the forums asking explanation of the changes in the code. You don't think CVS on sourceforge is the only copy do you?
When you think you are secure, it is then that you are vulnerable.
Opensource software vendors can PROVE their software is secure, private sector is simply unwilling to do this.
My personal opinion as an Electrical Engineer with also a masters in Computer Engineering and additionally a huge dose of common sense is that this bullet is simply fake. I think they make these stories up to scare people.
Do you have any idea the cost of developing such a bullet?
1. Get ahold of a modified box. 2. Understand the electrical differences to the boxes. 3. design a signal that affects one box but not the others.
Each bullet would have to be custom designed, just as a new virus has to be individually searched for.
Well their is ONE way. You design a box with a noticible hole. So the lazy people or simply greedy will activate the boxes using the "hole" you purposely left in the box. Now you can easily design the hole to close when you say so. As a result you can "entrap" the people exploiting the hole you didn't have to leave in the box.
What do they mean? Turning off my computer is somehow a bad thing? Their is not such thing as an unused processing cycle. Else the processor wouldn't have cycled. (sans the NOOP)
I loan my processors time to folding@home, but I WILL NOT be a party to corporate welfare!
This is akin to what you see in the movies all the time. someone has a computer image and the "zoom in" to some obscene level of resolution and then the "Enhance" it. Foolishness. If the data is not there, no algorithm will add it.
I assume some company will get 2-3 million from the government to study this and 2-3 years later they will have wasted the money and concluded its not feasible. If they would start with basic graphics class and take a look at what resolution means they might have a clue...
I will watch this channel as long as it can do the impossible. That is, as long as it does not become a whore for the "already trying to whore themselves" software gaming companies.
While some content will be original, I expect the infomercials to be as indistinguishable as they can manage.
Also, like the Robot wars, and excellent idea for a show, but it has very poor production. Lets hope they hire some TRUE producers even if they are students.
However, if they want me to subscribe to this, we will have a problem. My cable bill is $80+ I really cant see going over that. I already pay $45/month TO game, dont want to pay another $5 to be a voyeur. This should be free to broadband subscribers.
Actually I don't think their is much hysteria. That is what the media wants you to think because they are sensationalists.
Isin't is funny how the media always characterizes someone as "scrambling" to correct a problem when you know full well everyone is ALWAYS dragging their feet in USA.
The sad thing about our education system is it does not teach values, only material knowledge. No class on respect, courtesy, understanding, etc.. Same with our job qualifications, only material knowledge. Thats whats wrong with the education system.
For me, just as I am writing a reply to you, most of the people I interact with I don't know. The gamers I meet and the coders I program with dont always reveal their nationality or anything like that. By the time I ask such a personal question I already have a good relationship with them. So I think again the media are just making chit up.
Not telling who I worked for but I was a safety systems engineer for one of the Big 3 here in Detroit.
I can assure you cars already keep this information. The airbag module already tracks your acceleration and has about a 5-20 second log it can store in case of accident. It also stores if you were wearing your seatbelt because it communicates with the cluster that knows if your belt was on or off. Of course the newer modules need to know if you belt is on so they can fire the belt pre-tensioners anyway. But we tracked it for "other" reasons.
Yes the ABS also likely has a log.
So yes, this module will have a record of the exact accelerations involved in an accident and this was a 97 vehicle which I was working on in 1993.
MS is already trying to get into cars. MS and IBM and and others were at the Society of Automotive engineers conference this year. Their was a whole floor dedicated to Smart Cars or whetever they are calling it this time. Yes they are trying bluetooth but in the automotive field we could care less. Their is no need for that and as such it wont ever get there. Not from the OEM at least , maybe aftermarket.
The only thing likely to happen here is the OEMs end up getting money from the government to do something that they are already doing...
Of course. The only way things like this happen is the government gives the currently rich people enough more money for them to agree to the new technology. Essentially you have to buy them off.
Ford, Chrysler, and GM will NOT endorse electric cars now. BUt of course the biggest problem is the greedy American. Do you think you will ever see an electric SUV?? didn't think so. When we stop driving tanks, electrifying our vehicles will be more feasible.
Not to meantion(though I am mentioning it) the middle East. Imagine what would happen to them if we simply stopped buying their oil. Now their will be MORE poverty over there and more people will blame the US. Sure lots of it is our fault, but our oil purchases keep the governments happy.
So now everyone will have to face the reality that telephone service has been overcharging for years. Not only that but the internet can offer the same service for less money.
Say bye bye telcos. I hope those third world countries really save enough money from these large first world corporations to make a quality lifestyle change. I hope they take this opportunity to manage their own services and dont let USA bully and sanction and threaten their way into corporate control of the new technologies there.
This is not MS Word, its a database. Why do they need so many licenses? A database goes on the back end right? You have to pay per user, per connection? or per what??
To me, you buy the stinking database, and a service contrac and thats it.
1 db for parking tickets 1 db for taxes 1 db for campaign contributions
Sun is trying to maintain control over Java and leverage it. Its clear to any Java programmer.
They currently only put 2 certificate chains in their keystore. so how much do you thing verisign and thawte paid Sun for that priveledge? you think that was free? Especially since we have to pay over $100 per year to get certificates.
Their are ago old problem with Suns Functionality on Windows which Sun seems to think is cool to blame on M$. So they dont fix them as long as they can pass off the blame. They could have been fixed them. Like getting rid of terminal windows on spawned programs.
Sun is not smothering Java, but they are not letting Java move as fast nor as friendly as it could.
No I agree c# will not have the community that Java has EVER.
C# does NOT compete with Java. I have to say this about 15 times per month. Clearly M$ wants to keep pushing this idea, but no one has yet told me why its supposed to. C# competes with c++. c# is for windows, Java is for everywhere. Yes maybe you can use c# on some other os, but c# is "for" windows.
I wish they would just let this fake arguement of c# knocking off Java die.
Its "illegal" for other countries to develop nuclear arms because we have the strength to stop them. So naturally it will be illegal for people/other counrties to create viruses, regardless to any free expression rules that exist. The CIA will continue to create computer as well as biological viruses I assure you.
Foolishness. Those are the rules as given by the rich nations. Of course they want the competition such that they can win. Globalization is just as everyone here has characterized it. Prone to evil. As they say in the cartoons all the time, "we cant let that weapon fall into the wrong hands."
In the right hands, the wealth is shared. In the wrong hands, globalization is simply a tool for CEOs and share holders to make MORE money. They are helping themselves, not the world.
If they cared, when they put jobs overseas, they would be paid comparibly. But they are paid insultingly. And who bears the brunt of this evil? Why the very same people who lost their jobs. Anti-American sentiment is created against the average American, but cant reach the people who really energize this raping of the world.
Is their any wonder the World Trade Center was a 2 time target? Certainly not the most significant building to America citizens, but symbolically one understands the resentment...Of course retribution must be exacted. We dont play dead, but we must recognize the source else it will just keep happening.

Insightful? its just wrong.
"Quite a few of these viruses are happy to infect..."
infect how? -> "If you have basic email skills, you're safe."
Their is generally no automatic infection until holes in IE are found which a user can do nothing about.

YOU can get your permit, but can you get your education? I will always allow you to read my email if you are willing to crack my encryption.
:D
If you intercept my signal and crack my encryption, then you deserve to read my meaningless email.

1 db for parking tickets

so what the hell is 170,000 db for?
Anyone using Java now is not entirely interested in makin .exe and .dll files. Else they would simply use VC++.
:D
And besides that point, a XP2000+ processor is more than enough to speed my java to acceptable levels of windows performance
"Myth #1: C# is a Windows-only technology."
Uhh it is. This guy is off his rocker. Why doesent m$ like Java, because its from Sun? heck no. Because its crossplatform.
What makes this fool think m$ would be happy to replace the cross platform Java with a cross platform c#?? How is it m$ interest to allow this?
Thats just an insane thought. We know m$.
Sun is trying to maintain control over Java and leverage it. Its clear to any Java programmer.
They currently only put 2 certificate chains in their keystore. so how much do you thing verisign and thawte paid Sun for that priveledge? you think that was free? Especially since we have to pay over $100 per year to get certificates.
