I fail to see how this solves anything. We are talking about the possibility for the manufacturer of the machine to be fraudulous. It can be extended to the manufacturer of the chip. TPM works when two entities trust each other : the program maker and the chip manufacturer. Here the program maker could be the voter (it wouldn't really be a programming act but a choice between several possible programs, one for each possible choices), but the chip manufacturer would be able to decipher the program, change it or ignore it, without the user knowing it. Am I missing something ?
I think Palladium would fail if Intel released the full specification of its chips and firmware (which would contain a crypto key somewhere).
The talent of a political candidate is proportional to the strength of the reality-distortion field s/he can maintain during the whole campaign. An genuinely idealist with a clear line of action that never ever bends facts or his/her opinions is sure to never get elected.
Python 3000 (the draft for Python 3) has been in the works since 2006 and it has quickly been made quite clear that backward compatibility would be broken.
Well I guess old news is better than no news at all...
Mod me funny if you wish, but having a redundant infrastructure, one being an unsuccessful one using MS software and the other being successful and using OSS, the sound business solution would be to keep the successful one. I am sure that even MS management can see that. They didn't buy Yahoo to make it die, they bought it to take over the #1 in the field : Google. Until they do that, they will probably put efficiency before ideology.
M$ fails in the add market because they have single mindedly created a reputation of untrustworthiness. M$ is the last company you would want give information about future marketing campaigns, if they suddenly decide that you are a competitor they will use that information to their advantage.
So it begins. Trust becomes more important than money for success at generating cash. Welcome to Economy 2.0.
Quick summary : He was a trader at one of the biggest French bank, manipulating millions owned by the bank using the usual scheme : buy low, sell high. Except, he managed to fool controls to manipulate more money than he was allowed by several orders of magnitude, allowing him to have a very good overall performance. His objective was _apparently_ only to get higher raises, not to steal that money. So he traded billions in order to make millions of profits. He has been doing this for several months. A few weeks ago, bank officials discover his hidden account with ~50 billions worth of unauthorized stocks on it. They panicked, they sold this as discreetly as possible in a few days at loss (~ 5 billions of loss ), possibly causing a worldwide fall of stock exchanges. The trader admitted that he did something he was not authorized but called the selling a bad decision made in a hurry.
Of course there are many speculation about all that he could have done by bypassing usual controls.
One can make a viable clone from a non-embryonic stem cell. Do clones have a soul ? Do they have a soul when they are a bunch of stem cells ? When they are a single stem-cell ? How can it be ok to use non-embryonic cell and not kosher to use embryonic ones ?
Could they not buy it 4.7 billions and reselling it cheaperto a cell phone company afterwards ? That way they would have opened a protocol for a small sum.
They could as well make a 6 billions package and buy a small cellphone company for the 1.3 billion that's left...
Hmmm, you make me doubt he used his iPhone, but he had an iPhone and I remember him connecting a cellphone to his laptop...
I also had doubts about the symmetry of the connection but he told me he had 3Mbps upload and download, he told me it was a recent possibility, he looked like he knew what he was talking about.
iPhone have been bought in US by Apple geeks since they were released. I know many people in France who bought one in US before it was nationally released. I don't understand these people very well...
Sorry about euros, I thought it was the SI unit for money:-p
Three month ago, I was dining in Tokyo with some geeks. The iPhone was pretty popular, but what really got me was that he connected it to his laptop, and opened the 3G access. He told me he got 3 Mbps of symmetrical bandwidth. Unlimited access, for about 30 euros per month. We joined a video chat and put the laptop at the end of the table. It was like we were dining with people miles from there.
Right now it doesn't help create new proteins because such new molecules would probably code for new amino acids, that may have to be artificially synthesized and injected into the cell.
2) your experiment is a different kind of psychological experiment: it's an experiment in suggestion
Even in that case, it proves that the brain can effectively provide such an illusion. The fact that one has to make a conscious effort to feel the pressure in the pen or that it occurs naturally are two different proofs of this capacity of the brain.
Atheists usually take religion less seriously. That make a lot of us look like we are intolerant. Apparently one cannot talk about religion in the same way you would talk about Lord of the Ring.

This is really hardDo not mistake cash for cashflow.
But I guess I can also say that one should not mistake Slashdotters' dreams for the reality.

But it doesn't happen every year, hence the one day per year figure.

The tech is old, the bandwidth and price are new.

Would you pay 2 time the price to prevent a one-day outage once every year ? Military does. Consumers don't. Yet.

Why not forbid the sale of bad geiger counter then ?
