The other obnoxious thing to do is the reverse pager. See someone who strikes your interest, and beep yourself so that she can hear, and give her your best, "Are you tired? because you've been running through my mind all day."
I give that line because if you really try this stunt, I'm sure that this is the only line that you've got.
Yeah, I really wanted to take a look at what kind of stuff they had for the M10000's often-touted CPU crypto features. But I was very disappointed when I found absolutely no technical documentation on those things whatsoever. Nothing beyond marketing hype.
What a gyp.
I'm sure that if there's any case law about Playstation games, it would be very insightful regarding this issue.
From what I can tell, the technical side of this copy protection system seems similar to what they do for PS games.
The reason this won't work is the same reason that Digital Rights Management won't be completely secure. The endpoints are still open. That is, you could change the data before it gets encrypted, since you have direct access to the machine.
I don't think that's necessarily a problem. What they're showing is that he is using a consistent model for how the universe works (which, as the article states later, is not exactly the issue; they're actually after more subtle questions).
Maybe have a layer of lead between the cockpit and the rest of the plane?
weren't they talking about reinforcing the cockpit against forced entry etc. as well? the right solution could kill two birds with one stone, as it were
Lead's only necessary to reinforce the cockpit against the Evil Superman. In any other case, I think it's probably overheavy and overkill.

I'd agree with the other posts here and say that there's definitely not enough bandwidth in the LED response (compared to the memory bandwidth) to directly glean any significant amount of information from the blinking LEDs. This is not to say that someone will figure out some way to get some info about the blink patterns of your machine; I don't doubt that eventually someone will figure something out.
All this means is that the notion of "physical security" will not just mean "out of reach" but also mean "out of sight." But if you ask me, usually if someone can see your machine, they're darn close to being able to physically get to it.
Although, if someday networks did come to be made out of organic sponges, it'd be funny to see people be forced to remember to water their internet connections or be disconnected:)
With watercooling "becoming mainstream," people might get disconnected from the internet (and evrything else) for not watering their computer. That'll be funny, too, though not so much.
I'm going to assume you don't mean encrypt the RAM before shutdown, since instead of doing that, you could just wipe it, which would be more secure and less trouble.
So you plan to encrypt and decrypt every word accessed in the memory? How do you plan to do that? Use a stream cipher? (e.g., RC4) You can't do that, because it's random access, meaning you can't just string data together as it comes in.
Use a block cipher? (AES, DES, etc.) Sorry, simple frequency analysis will crack that. And you can't use cipher block chaining or anything like that, because once again since data is randomly accessed.
Encryption is generally meant for stream data, not single blocks.

And actually, if you're talking about bugs, maybe the bug requires you to have it on 5 lines. This one doesn't, but there might be some bug that does.
Yes, there is good reason to believe that this "won't bake the residents." Microwave ovens emit microwave radiation at a frequency that causes water molecules to resonate. The radiation causes vibration, which builds up thermal energy. Being over 3/4 water, you would also be cooked in a microwave. A piece of paper, however, would not be heated nearly as much, since it contains no water.
The resonance effect is the reason that there are separate settings for "defrost" and for "cook." The frequency needed to match ice is somewhat different from that for water. I think that the frequencies are fairly close, so using the wrong setting works, just not quite as well.
For more information, check out howstuffworks or something like that. It's all pretty basic.
Of course, if you buy there, the laptop will loaded up with Japanese locale software. It's not necessarily bad, but just gotta make sure that you're okay with that.
I've never understood why people don't like to be called secretaries. I mean, you have people like Secretary of State, or Secretary of Treasury, and they're perfectly respectable positions, even positions of honor.
On the other hand, being "administrative assistant" highlights that you're someone's assistant. (as in "my bitch")
And who are you fooling anyways? By now, most people equate "administrative assistant" == secretary, anyways.
If they're developing notebooks for the army, why not make this thing stop bullets, or shrapnel? What would be really cool would be if it could take a bullet without giving out.
It would be even cooler if the bullet could go through the laptop and still run.
Of course, then the thing would have to hook up to Skynet, too.
If you use e-file via a web page using SSL for filing your taxes, under this proposal this becomes an additional five-year felony."
The article states that you must "knowingly and willfully [encrypt] any incriminating communication or information..." to commit a crime under this proposed law.
I believe that you could argue that, if the SSL site does not give you a choice on how to proceed with the transaction, that it is the site which is forcing you to encrypt the transaction.
Likewise, with ATMs, you are not electing to encrypt the transaction; the ATM provider is making you encrypt your transaction.
Yes, I know that in the eyes of the law, machines do not commit crimes, people [operating them] do. But in this case, I believe that it is not the user that is willfully (and if you're stupid, knowingly) encrypting the communication, rather, it is the business or web site that is electing to perform the transaction encrypted.

Wait, you get to drink beer at your office? Damn, I want to work at a place like that. Do you also get to hit on the boss's secretary?
ppfft! Back in my day we only had black!
And sometimes not even that!
That's probably not sufficient. Ideally, you also want to couple that with an anonymizing layer, such as AnonNet describes.
I've got Yahoo, and my spam situation is pretty good, but some of the tricky spam still gets through. And I do report the spam when I get it, too.
But yeah, certainly better than the spam I get in my Microsoft Ho'mail account.
