Not necessarily. The flipside of stegonography is "digital watermarking," which is the same thing, except used for copyright enforcement. There has been a lot of work done in creating watermarks which aren't too noticeable, but which are resistant to resampling etc.
Frontline recently aired an excellent program on PTSD, and what's more you can watch it online for free. (Yes I love public television).
What you are saying is not really a secret:
PTSD is a recognition that if you've been in the wrong place at the wrong time or have been in a place where you've had to commit acts such as shooting other combatants or civilians or driven a car that you weren't in control of and killed people or things of that sort, that these events can change the way you feel about yourself and feel about the world.
However, the above link goes on to contradict the assertion that PTSD affects only killers, nor is it limited to soldiers. Have a look, it's interesting stuff.
The Russians have lost two crews. One cosmonaut, Vladimir Komarov, died when Soyuz 1 re-entered Earth's atmosphere out of control and crashed just three months after the Apollo 1 launch pad fire. Then, in June 1971, three cosmonauts died when the Soyuz 11 capsule decompressed during descent.
That would mean the Russians haven't lost any manned spacecraft during the era of the Shuttle. How can we say the Shuttle is just as safe as the alternatives?
Wow, simply searching for the obscure term "GSM Picocell" which happens to be the answer to the question immediately finds the answer to the question!! If only the OP had spent 2 seconds with google, and started out with the answer to his question.
Most of the computer geeks are too busy playing CS in their parent's basements to hit the polls anyway.
I don't know that it will work as a vote-getter, but what "actual observations" lead you to believe that WiFi is limited to the techno-cognoscenti? I've seen the Blue Man Group pushing it on TV for the last 4 years, on every corner at Starbuck's, and every other Sunday circular in the newspaper is selling WiFi cards for as little as $15.
I think San Francisco is simply trying to reinforce its unique "Silicon Valley" image.
There are many, many other cities around the world trying to wrestle that crown away.
I don't know what's really going on here, but a move like this should have begun with an announcement from Linus himself, preferrably not in the press but somewhere like LKML. It risks coming off as a retreat from the open spirit of Linux. "Hey, if I wanted to get shaken down and sued, I might as well go with the old pro, Microsoft."
I think we are facing the prospect of having to change our workloads (by re-writing software) in order to see additional speed improvements. That great 50-year ride of ever faster single core execution seems to be petering out.
Maybe we will wind up with a bunch of niagra-like simple cores for paralell code plus a small number of big, complex out-of-order execution cores for whatever hasn't (or can't be) implemented in that manner. In fact, isn't that what the Cell processor is?
I accept these same risks everyday when I walk out of my house. But I also know that if somebody stole money from me, I can expect the police to do something about it.
That's because mugging is illegal. But gibbing somebody in Quake and taking their railgun is not.
It's mind-blowing how lax the telcos have been in rolling out DSL. Wherever their existing network doesn't happen to reach, they just say "sorry, you need to be within X meters of an exchange" and leave it at that. In 2005 they are finally considering some sort of buildout to extend their broadband reach? Ridiculous. They should have been to this point in 1998.
i can't wait for my doctor to be outsourced to India.
Sarcasm or no, I happen to agree. You hardly ever see the doctor anyways. Analyzing lab results and scans is something that can easily be done remotely.
Cutting and sewing will probably be the last things outsourced, but you know what? Medical care is currently so expensive that many people in some parts of the world simply go without. Better to take your chances than die for sure.
I echo your sentiment. I was disappointed to find I can't call my home phone directly over the Internet from my laptop when on travel. Why? Because Vonage locks down the SIP box so hard it can't even recieve VOIP calls!! It can only receive calls from the POTS network - no direct VOIP-to-VOIP calls.
If yahoo has numbers in my area code, Vonage could lose a customer over this.
All of which will take about a week to be cracked.
Well, with enough hacking and enough performance penalty, you could already run PPC-based Mac software on a PC. (I suppose a PPC emulator would be easiest). So it's not a question of whether it can be done, but whether it's easy enough, runs well enough, and is legally safe enough to be worth doing.
Even if they were going to do 2 versions, I'm surprised they didn't release just the expensive one first to simplify the launch and gouge all the suckers, then an "XBox lite" for the masses a few months later.
Has anybody tried making a compact array of lenses? Seems it might have nearly the area of one big lens, but with lots of cheap, thin, lightweight parts. Bonus points if you can get all the lenses to project onto the same focal plane and deconvolve the original image. Come to think of it, you wouldn't need to - just give each micro-lens a longer focal length, and have it project onto its own little rectangle of the sensor. Sort of an auto-panorama. I suppose all this has been done in astronomy, but has it been done in a small, integrated package?
If something from a Crocodile can teach us how to cure AIDS in humans...
But there's the catch... in humans, and the article implies they haven't tried that! The Crocodile immune system may be just as happy to kill of human cells as HIV. Put another way, bleach probably kills HIV too, but that doesn't mean you can shoot it into your veins and cure AIDS.
The July 21 bombers did not die, rather they fled the scene. Failing to catch them would be a safety risk.
It's true you can't prevent a criminal's first crime with enforcement, but robbers and rapists don't just perpetrate once and then quit. Usually they persist until they're caught, or grow old (after committing many crimes).
What about London's network of security cameras though? I hate the very idea of those things. But on the other hand, they identified the perpetrators of both transit attacks and made arrests with amazing speed.

Have a look, it's interesting stuff.That's why it's so annoying that Vonage locks down your IP telephone adapter, so you cannot receive direct IP calls from outside the Vonage network.
I think they're trying to create an expectation that VOIP should incur a charge over and above normal IP services. There's no good reason for that.
Which degree felony shall we use against students who doodle in their textbooks? Or is this somehow different to you?
I don't know, is it the whole playable game, or just the engine? Didn't they in the past release the engine with no maps, textures, or sounds?
But what do any of those have to do with the Shuttle? Let's talk about the Hindenburg, the Titanic, and the Chevy Corvair.

Seems to me it would be precisely as useful or worthless as email - and therefore gmail, which sets a precedent for google's view of the matter.
