A 15 minute delay after 3 attempts is very annoying if you forget your password/break a finger and cant type/etc, etc. A 1 second delay between attempts will be just as effective at stopping brute force attacks without annoying the user.
One generally has to be screwed for the little problems to come out, at least this sort. After the problems come out they yell all night and keep you from getting screwed.
It would be horrible as a replacement for a video card's ram, but it could make a nice cache. If it is cheaper than the main ram of the video card it could allow for fast caching of upcoming content to reduce load times. A bit like how RAM is slower than the L3 cache which is slower than the L2, etc, etc.
I no longer own a website, but when I did Fuitadnet.com seemed good for me. Their auto-renewal was effective, it just billed me once a year for the domain name.
Yes, but that was a direct competitor. Trolltech doesn't compete with Nokia, and Nokia uses QT in their products. That makes killing them dumb, whereas killing PDAapps was smart. Nokia can do better by improving QT and giving support to KDE, since they can use it on their phones and tablet PCs. They just payed $150M for a permanent QT enterprise license, control over development, and the ability to sell a proven, stable enterprise toolkit to all those other companies that made Trolltech successful in the first place. Whereas with PDAapss they bought something that would have hurt, not helped, their business model.
But that's the point of the DDX (what this thing will be mounted on): It's all electric. EVERYTHING goes to the dynamos. The engines take from the power grid of the ship. So if you need to fire faster, you can divert power from the engines to the weapons.
It requires very close range to work.
I have an oxyacetylene torch.
I'll take the torch that can melt steel with a normal flashlight on the side. Cheaper and longer running too.
6. Termination. This License Agreement is effective until terminated. You may terminate the License Agreement at any time by (i) permanently destroying all copies of the Game in your possession or control; (ii) removing the Game Client from your hard drive; and (iii) notifying Blizzard of your intention to terminate this License Agreement. Blizzard may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or no reason. In such event, you must immediately and permanently destroy all copies of the Game in your possession and control and remove the Game Client from your hard drive. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all licenses granted herein shall immediately terminate.
From the WoW EULA. Emphasis mine. And don't say you've never heard of Blizzard or that their 10 million subscribers don't count. I can go through and find tons of others like that if I look. While the MS windows/office EULAs may not contain this clause many other EULAs do contain such clauses.
Red Hat Network agreement: Red Hat may terminate this Agreement, use of the Service or password access to the Service at any time without prior notice, if Red Hat in its sole discretion determines that there has been a violation of this Agreement, applicable policies or failure to pay charges when due. Red Hat may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing notice of termination to you in any reasonable manner.

In the US, that would mean no peeking without prior evidence showing probable cause, decided and kept track of by a judge, according to the law.
HA! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
*breaths for a bit*
HA!
In the US that would require someone saying that you are a terrorist. No evidence/probable cause/judge/oversight whatsoever needed. Pedophile may also work.
Yes, punchscan keeps track of bad things the EAC does. Punchscan has nothing to do with Diebold, the EAC is the US Election Assistance Commission. They like diebold, which is clearly bad. Punchscan is telling you about that. They do need to make that clearer in that blog entry, but oh well.
Separating the human readable and machine readable ballot, and then shredding the human readable one, keeps the door open for tampering with the counting software (you might have marked choice A for your candidate on the human readable ballot but what if the counting software counts choice A as a different candidate).
True, though both ballots are machine readable and human readable. Either sheet, chosen by the voter, can be shredded. Software can be tampered with, but the people hand-counting votes can also be tampered with. Also, since punchscan is open-source (BSD licensed) it's easier to verify that the software is working as it should be. How do you then prove how it was supposed to be counted?
You prove it was recorded correctly by having the results of the marking viewable by any voter online. This image shows the process, you want part 3, post election audit. If you're going to in some way securely preserve the human readable portion, why bother separating them in the first place?
Separation prevents vote buying while allowing the voters to keep and verify their own paper trail. You can verify that your votes were counted as you marked them (a, b, or left hole, right hole,) but you can't associate the marks with who you voted for. So you know your votes were counted as marked, and you know you marked them for the candidates you want, but no one else can reliably determine the correlation without having access to ALL the encryption keys. Also if you keep a copy of your cast ballot then a voters can be intimidated by threat of retaliation, and bribed with certainty of the result.
From the FAQ: If a vote-buyer or coercer tells the voter where to mark before the voter enters the polling place, then those marks will correspond to random votes. This is because only in the booth can the voter see what vote corresponds to what mark on the receipt (as mentioned in question 2). So paying for such marks is actually paying for random votes, which is substantially the same as paying someone not to vote at all. But paying people not to vote can be achieved more directly (and even online), since who votes in US elections is generally visible and in practice a matter of public record. Influencing voters not to vote on certain contests, while allowing them to vote their choice on others, is essentially a waste of the influencer's efforts, which would be more effective if the voter were kept from voting altogether. Observing how long people spend in booths has been used in improper influence schemes, and lever machines even make a distinctive sound for each contest voted. Nevertheless, an "overvote" position (inherent in many other paper-based voting systems) combined with a mark per contest requirement, lets a punchscan receipt hide even which contests were voted. What is so freaking bad about a ballot which is simultaneously human and machine readable which is turned in via secret ballot?
The individual voters must trust both the vote counters and the vote auditors, with punchscan the voters ARE the primary auditors. Since any voter can audit their own votes any voter can expose election fraud. This makes fraud much harder. It's similar to the "many eyes" principle used by open-source software.
Also from the FAQ:
21. Wouldn't good old-fashioned paper ballots counted by hand in each polling place provide a higher level of integrity for election outcomes?
The reasons for automating in the US actually included improving integrity as well as the difficulty of counting the many contests. It might be possible to get enough people to observe and count in the US today in order to achieve a high-level of integrity for basic voting. But such an approach cannot secure absentee ballots traveling through the mails, a significant and growing fraction of voting, that has different demographics/statistics and thus cannot be ignored as far as integrity. Also, polling-place counting cannot pro
He's correct. It's a safety issue. Also, prolonged contact with (nearly) ANY electrical current that you can feel can become dangerous. While a low voltage won't be able to pass much current through the skin (skin resistance) initially, this situation will change. As voltage flows skin resistance slowly decreases, and can lead to fatal currents if allowed to persist for long enough.
Effects of current through the human body (rough): 0.2 amp - no fibrillation. Severe burning and breathing halted.
0.1 - 0.2 amp is the most dangerous zone, because fibrillation is a faster death and harder to stop than a mere stoppage of the heart as occurs above 0.2 amp. Skin resistance is about 1kohm for wet skin and 500kohm for dry skin. Internal resistance is 100-500 ohms, so current penetrating the skin is what causes problems. Higher voltages let more current through, so above 240V current easily penetrates the skin. If you touch a wire of 0.02 amps or so your muscles will contract, forcing you to hold onto the wire. Since skin resistance drops over time you will soon find it difficult to breathe and eventually you WILL die.
If you find someone stuck to a wire in this manner, the person WILL die if they are not removed. Do not attempt to touch them uninsulated, since you will likely become stuck yourself. Turn power off, or push them off with a stick or other non-conductive object.
Astronomers often use CGS (Centimeters, grams, seconds) instead of MKS (meters, kilograms, seconds) because it makes the calculations easy. "CGS units are still occasionally encountered in technical literature, especially in the United States in the fields of electrodynamics and astronomy. SI units were chosen such that electromagnetic equations concerning spheres contain 4, those concerning coils contain 2 and those dealing with straight wires lack entirely, which was the most convenient choice for electrical-engineering applications. In those fields where formulas concerning spheres dominate (for example, astronomy), it has been argued that the CGS system can be notationally slightly more convenient." -- Wikipedia
You have the key. Documentation is for intent. The code describes how "it" gets done, the documentation describes why. The code should be self-describing, but the documentation links the various functions together.
He's talking about a surge traveling over the Cat5, not the power wire. UPS won't help, since the current enters the motherboard via the network port.
And there are Ethernet surge protectors, but they are very expensive. As in around $250 at the low end from what I've seen.

I remember PI as phone numbers.

Three phone numbers for 30 digits of PI.

I can happily report that it causes no problems whatsoever for w3m. This is, of course, expected.
There is no such thing as overkill. Only "kill" with increasing levels of certainty.
