"You had this discussion in 2005 with what's-his-name, John Johnson's chief engineer, throught that dumb skype thing they used back then. Can you tell me what you explained to him at the time ?"
I agree that grep + text file should be enough but if you need to copy-paste every message to a text file, then add tags to make them searchable, an automated tool would save you a lot of time. I know, you say "only important messages". Well from my experience you never know which messages might be important.
I tend to consider my mailbox to be my central archive so I sometime copy-paste important messages and pieces of information to myself, but I would really like to see it centralized.
I don't get it, isn't that already illegal to harass someone ? Be it in real life or online ? Isn't it a serious offense to continue harassment once you have understood you are dealing with a psychologically vulnerable person ?
It took several years to the NASA in order to achieve their current success ratio. It probably is the same for a private organization. Knowledge and know-how don't come cheap in the rocket business.
Of course it is a shame (and probably a liable thing) that satellites are destroyed during this phase
The primary scientific objective of the SHARAD investigation is to map, in selected locales, dielectric interfaces to depths of up to one kilometer in the martian subsurface and to interpret these interfaces in terms of the occurrence and distribution of selected materials, including rock, regololith, water and ice.
Ok, not several kilometers, but up to one kilometer. On the entire surface of Mars. That's still better than a spoonful of "whatever rock we land on" of the Mars rover-like robots
That is something I have a hard time understanding. When NASA sends a robot rover that is representative of techs that exist since the Cold war, we tout it as a genius achievement even if all it does is dig a little hole that is not even 1 meter deep. When a German probe, however, scans the entire underground structure of Mars down to several kilometers deep, it looks less important and gets fewer coverage. Maybe it is time for the ESA to grow a PR department.
Now we have energy (sun) and water. We can make oxygen through electrolysis, food through hydroponics. Now Mars becomes definitely the best candidate for colonization in the solar system. Well, better than the moon anyway.
Note that I say "now" but in fact it was already known that Mars had a lot of water ice from the European probe that scanned the Martian crust a few years ago.
The problem is that the production cost of recent techs are not very different from the production cost of older techs. The price difference is usually due to R&D costs

I think they were looking for people who have never ever posted anything on an internet forum. Hey! That would explain a lot of things !

Agreed, Google searches and DNS queries can be a pretty confidential information you wouldn't want to see made public, but it is not like the company was in any way hacked. If everything is set correctly, the man in the middle will not be able to see their encrypted webmail/mail traffic nor their financial communications. HTTPS has been developped with exactly this kind of attacks in mind.
Maybe he thought he was taking the risk of being sent to jail for two or three years after a fair trial. Guantanamo was not very known of the international public at this time and the US were still believed to be a democracy with a semi-sane judicial system.
In Thailand, software prices are low, in USA software prices are medium, in Europe software prices are high. The average European is now richer than the average American. That says something about the sad state of US economy.
No ressource was wasted. I suppose it takes more CPU cycles to check for both narrow and broad signals. The SETI project started by trying to have the lowest CPU usage possible and even by checking signals in a single wavelength in all the sky, it required the SETI@home project : touted as the biggest computation of all human history. Now they apparently are near completing their initial goal of checking for signals in the hydrogen wavelength, so they propose to use more power to check other forms of possible signals.
What if I have a business plan that is based on the premise that space-based imagery is freely available ? Do I get protection too ?
This kind of regulations effectively freezes the market at one technological state. Imagine I want to create a company that sells an analysis of satelite imagery interpreted as traffic informations on a whole country. If I can sell them for a small fee, people like Yahoo will publish them freely in order to increase traffic, other companies may become very reliant on this information (like small scale transport companies) making them more competitive due to more effective route planning.
If a silly regulation says that these images can not be given for free, I'll have to make people pay more for these informations, and probably won't be able to find that much clients.
When something becomes free, short-sighted people think that jobs and business are destroyed. However, when something becomes free, it usually creates a lot of business opportunities that were simply impossible before.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any real details of how the copying is done, but I do wonder if the copying process is as simple as that if you can read a card you can clone it?
From what I have read, you can gather enough information to clone a card through two different ways :
* Eavesdropping the communication between the attacked card and the reader (completely passive)
* "Bumping" into someone with a reader that will fake official readers and ask the card for an ID and a challenge. The challenge is easy to brute force because of a flaw in the randomness generator.

We need an open source clone of this !
And what about the scenario proposed : a skype/messenger discussion ?

How do you tell a browser that your PHP script generated a text file, an HTML, a SVG or a PNG then ?

According to which laws ? Navajo nation is independent, right ?
OK, thats enough of that, sitting here typing on my superior-to-linux windows box (thanks microsoft!)
You know, that's exactly what a nazi would say...

Isn't there an international treaty signed by US and Russia against this ? Is that the start of a new race ?

Heh, that would be quite a shock. Discovering that the solar system is a battlezone...
Yeah, my first thought was "How many turrets can you fit into that ship ?".
Then "Is there a Gallente version of this ?"
Nobody here says that only good movies should be produced. People here say however that no one should expect to earn movie from a bad movie.
Agreed. But it is not usable yet. Let's keep an eye on it.
