Its the USA that creates the feeling of nation vs USA. Only a month or zwo ago, a leaked paper told about us plans to shoot down foreign satellites to make space a us-only zone if they are potentially dangerous for the us. or theis paranoia.
GPS is a service provides by the US MILITARY. They can flip a switch and it is off.
Politicans dont have any opinion on software patents here in Germany. But there is high unemployment and the (mostly american) software companies are making claims that software patens will help economy, create jobs, enlarge you penis,... (you get the idea).
So Politicians are in a situation where press and opposition grabs these claims and claim they arent doing anything against recession.
Until now, most simply choose to support the patents because they heard only voices supporting them. But the latest protest seem to have changed some opinions.
well, every (better) mac has 8.11 and there isnt a "problem".
And i dont think this will be a greater problem than computers connected to the internet. If someone cracks your PC, does it really matter if the data is running through copper or air?
Could read the article because it is slashdotted, but a replacement for atx is really needed.
At the time of introduction, atx was designed for CPUs with a power dissipation of 10-20W. The cpu socket was placed right under the power suply to cool the heatsink with the airflow of the PS fan.
Nowaday, 80W CPUs dont benefit from this closeness to another heatsource in the PC. ATX doesnt include anything that allows thermal coupling between board and case (think of audio amp heathsink) or air-tunnels to cool the cpu with air from outside the case.
Also, eATX boards are quite huge, to big for anything but server cases, but normal atx isnt quite big enough for dual cpu boards with dual channel RAM (or opteron with 4 channel ram).
yeah, but back then it wasnt public. I remember encoding audio cds with a beta of the original dos command line encoder from frauenhofer. one track took around a hour to compress an my old 486...
Because my HD was to small to rip a cd, i made a batch with luditrac: Rip track1, encode track1, delete track1.wav, rip track2.....
the problem is that even with magnetic micoscopy, after 2 or 3 overwrites every bit is a educated guess. And even if the chance of succes is 95%, calculate how big the chance is to revocer a name or a credit card number without error...
its not that much of a problem. Microwave radiation doesnt penetrade metal at all, so the hull of the vehicle would block it. For the more persitent stuff, usually the crew will get in a position where the water tank of the vehicle is between them and the radio source.
no browser supports mng. and gif and mng will be even worse for your dialup user because a simple 20k flash vector animation would take up tons of space and look worse using them
Well, with pdf you get: Good typesetting. not crap like the html rendering Mathematic formulas: Mathml isnt there yet, and looks crappy. People like to identify indeces without selecting bigger font sizes. Vector charts: ditto for svg. not hear yet. Also i can save a pdf on disk or print it. Try this with a web page. You may get dozens of gifs/jpegs/stuff, then there is a stylesheet missing, your other browser doesnt recognize the mathml, the font sizes are different and the ".gif" formulas dont match the rest of the text...
I wonder what problems everybody has with the page nature of pdf. I actually read a lot more text in books than on screen, and imho there is nothing wrong with defining a fixed lines per page relation or using the unit "page" to divide a bigger document in manageble portions.
I know, i know. I spend my year in the army at a long range listening post.
I think of this as a protection against ECHELON. If THEY want YOU, they can always break in your home, install keyloggers or wiretaps, ect. But if they are just scanning the email traffic in the backbone for keywords, it would be of real help. Im VERY certain every PGP or similar encrypted email will be archvied because it is potentially interesting. And perhaps in 5 year with their new Quantum Cracker, the NSA will decide to scan their archives...

Well, why do people always log in as AC if they want to post shit?
1) They will create MUCH less heat than common RAM. They dont need capacitors (which discharge creating head and have to be refreshed, costing power).
2) (smoking crack?) I dont even have the slightest idea why they should emit beta radiation, but even if they did, beta radiation isnt very good at penetrating anything. even if some electron could escape the plastic casing of the Ram package, is would surely stopped by your case.
3) Comparisons with flash memory are far more useful considering the proposed usage of MRAM. Also stacking would be potential way to increase packing density, because there is no need for capacitor trenches.
4) What part of "first generation" did you not understand?
I try to imagine how humanity would progress with your attitude: Eddison: Why bother creating a lightbulb, it will only break after a short time nobody will need it. von Braun: The thing could explode and even if it works, it just falls down again. Why should i create a rocket? Einstein: Everthing seems relative... But i guess that we can never make use of it because we would need complicated machinery and mathematics. Lets paint some pictures instead...
slowly this is really annoying. You know that howoften it is posted, win98 doesnt come back and the nt kernel doesnt become unstable. Just to make a point: my pc was rebooted 3 times the last 4 month. Once because i downloaded some BS patches, once because a hd had a SMART error and had to removed and once because the new HD had to be build in.
Now, i have 4 or 5 days uptime (the hd came last week) and 57MB kernel memory. Doesnt seem too leaky, considering the PC is actually in use and not a "seti and nothing else" machine.

Well, you need a HECK of a B-Field to scramble these Rams. Their storage elements are placed in a sandwitch between the conductor grid and reference magnets, so they are shielded from both sides.
They should survive everything your electronic device survives today. I guess you leave your pda outside when you go near the nmr, because iron isnt something you want near a 11.7T magnet:)

why should WE degrade our signal accuracy because your fucking country decides to start a war?
You need only -+30-50m accuracy to guide a cruise missile. There are tons of stuff that would stop working if you reduce accuracy below that level.

Those who are damaged by the virus/worm will be fined, too.
Because if the virus uses their computer to propagete, its their fault.
If you follow this chain of thought, than writing worms cant be a crime, because its all the fault of the people whose systems were infected...

normaly, one would use such kind of display INDOORS, where the wind SHOULD not be a problem. If it is, get some walls.
The magazin CT made a test using different wipes:
1. Overwrite with zeros
2. overwrite with random zero/one
3 5 passes of random owerwrite.
Then they were send to leading data recovery firms. They couldnt even rescue data from the first disk.
neutron stars are able to accelerate electrons or protons up to 10e18 ev levels. These things get gamma values>10^7, so its quite possible.
its not that much of a problem.

Noone has ever created a One time Pad plugin for outlook.
Think about it. Create a random one time Pad of a few hundred MB. Burn it on 2 cd-r. Put one in your safe and hand the other to BOB in person.
Now just use the pad piece by piece for your secure transmissions. It should last for years if you dont sent porn or warez....
As long as you use every part of the pad only once, even if the attacker gets the plaintext of one message the others wont be compromised.
Well, some goes to you.
Due the dipolar moment of the magnet, you dont have inverse square, but inverse cubed.
If it is a more complicated device (sextupol, ect), there can be even higher falloff exponents.
