I guess we're talking about 2 different things. I'm talking about real VOIP that runs on routers with Cisco IOS & stuff like that. That would be what corporations use rather than the mickey mouse software end-to-end software I would think. I've set up a couple of massive VoIP networks for companies but we didn't use any software that stored the keys locally. It was set on the hardware & changed a 64-bit key every 12 hrs randomly.
Mid-stream they would need to know your encryption key. However it is un-encrypted inside the building on each end so that would be a point to easily tap.
at.1% there would need to be 10,000 passengers to have 1 terrorist onboard. Therfore you would need 5,000 passengers per flight to get 50%. I stand by my claim no matter what the flunkee math moderators think.
0.1% chance and 50% on a 747. How many passengers do you think there are? You're talking about a 1 in a thousand chance turning into 50%. That doesn't even calculate. It would need to be plane carrying 1,000 ppl to carry 1 terrorist to be 0.1% and you think with 1,000 ppl onboard 500 would be terrorists?
the "PFA" for this happening is so rare that it would be a miracle for someone flying to have similar fingerprints to an already fingerprinted terrorist. Therefore, this is definitely a plus to security. The chances you would match close fingerprints to a terrorist & missing your flight is worth thousnads of flights I would think.
No I've been keeping up with this and it was just for revenge. Not scanning non American citizens has no security advantage for flights into America. They're just pissy and don't understand the threat of terrorists killing thousands of civilians because it didn't happen to them.

Look it up. I'm not going to describe this to you but from your quote of "1 in a trillion" I know you don't know anything about math. divide by a million about 10 times and I hate to break it to you but it's alot more than a trillion. It's the odds of winning the lottery 50 months in a row.
Is this all digital or dual mode? I still steer clear of all-digital networks of cell phones simply because the range is shorter. Instead of getting static when the signal gets weak it just shuts off. Anybody know if this is the case on these things?
Notice how the inflated air bags even look red inside the lab on Earth. What's up with that?
Go to east Texas near Bastrop and bounce material around for several kilometers in the red dirt & try not to let it get red. It's red dust. If it had been clean I would have been suspicious. But to be suspicious because it got dirty is silly.
Even though I feel a hint of sarcasm here I'll cut & paste so you don't have to look up the very first google hit I found.
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/2/ 4/ 123904.shtml NASA budgets since fiscal year 1992:
1993 $14.309 billion, existing NASA budget when Clinton took office;
1994 $14.568 billion, $259 million increase, first Clinton budget;
1995 $13.853 billion, $715 million decrease;
1996 $13.885 billion, $32 million increase;
1997 $13.709 billion, $176 million decrease;
1998 $13.648 billion, $61 million decrease;
1999 $13.654 billion, $6 million increase;
2000 $13.601 billion, $53 million decrease;
2001 $14.253 billion, $652 million increase;
2002 $14.892 billion, $639 million increase, first Bush budget;
2003 $15.000 billion, $108 million increase (estimated);
2004 $15.469 billion, $469 million increase (proposed);
So, during the Clinton years it was cut by 784 million dollars. During these 10 years the expenses naturally increase as their income substantially decreased.
George W. Bush has increased NASA's funding in each of his three submitted budgets since taking office. Those increases have totaled $1.216 billion.
Notice now our landers are actually making it there and for the first time I heard them actually talking about redundant systems. For the last 10 years all I heard about was how they had to build a spacecraft on a budget as small as a car dealership spends on a prototype car. Also remember how much of their budget has been redirected to launches for the ISS and keeping vehicles twice the age of my car running.

N* is certainly knowable, since it's (relatively) easy to look up and count.
From your perspective, yes. However, it is not "knowable" to be only 1.
fp is completely unknowable, until we get better at mapping out star systems with planets, and without. So far, we've found some large planets around other stars. We don't know how many stars exist with no planets, though.
They were very conservative with this estimate in it being 1 in a million have planets.
fl is again meaningless. If we don't know how many planets have the capability of supporting life, how can we know how many have done
That is why they divided the above estimate by 1 million. That is very conservative considering even our own solar system has proof of water & volcanic heat. Europa. We have life on our own planet in the same exact environment as this.
fi is the fraction of fl where intelligent life evolves
Divide by a million again to see how many of our current estimate have life that evolved. Evolution as in they aren't just a planet of dog-like creatures that can't even communicate with each other. I'm not sure about fc, what definition of "communicate" is being used? Pretty much by definition, all intelligent life communicates.
It means...well...they can communicate. Example talking, hand gestures, etc. It's another division by 1 million of the evolved cultures that can communicate better than wildlife. This means in no way we'd understand them. It means they are capable of it.
And to get things back on track, fL is meaningless. We've only just begun using radio, and have not yet started using it with powerful enough instruments that another civilization is likely to pick up those signals.
I'm not sure where you got this information but about 99.9999% of the scientists on this planet will argue with you on this. Unless blocked the signal will keep going. This is a common misconception based on people thinking of radio stations on earth. They don't think about curvature of the earth. The 6 amp battery on the rover is sending us pictures from 10 million miles away. That's running on battery & is a far cry from our 100,000W radio towers.
In short, I think you miss the point of this equation. It means even being conservative to the odds of winning the lottery 5,000 times in a row you still end up with thousands of possibilities of something like that existing.
What I'm curious about (no this is not a flame, I'm serious) is if the situation in the majority of scholarships being for minority only has changed or gotten worse?
When I was in high school they told us that every year over $10 million in scholarships went unclaimed because nobody applied. Well I did research. Virtually all of it was for minority. The counselor at school and the college both told me I was a white male and that was the only group that did not fit in some sort of "minority". All I got was the guaranteed student loan of $500/semester for 2 yrs. Well it paid my books anyway. The rest went on credit cards & from part time jobs.
I have the same degrees with 14 years experience along with tons of certifications. It does no good if: a) They want someone low paying & write you off without even calling based on resume b) They want someone living local & write you off because of your address c) You are one of hundreds or even thousands of applicants lost in the pile.
Oh yeah i graduated top of my class and have nothing but good references. I've never been fired either.
The jobs just aren't abundant enough. This guy is going to be coming out of college with nothing but a degree & no work experience. He won't stand much of a chance with the tens of thousands of unemployed ppl with the same degree + experience.
Where does the law stand on derivative works in software?[8]
The law on derivative works in software is not well established. The U.S. Copyright Act does not specifically address derivative works in software, and there are no U.S. Supreme Court cases immediately on point. SCO?
Watch the news. Any source you wish. The terrorist bombers who don't like another gov't are a neverending supply of suicide bombers killing innocents. It's not buying into something. It's paying attention. Something you really should do. Only Bush bashers are saying this right now so don't buy into what they are saying. These terrorists aren't a hoax or whatever. They are real. Tens of thousands have died in recent history. To call that a chicken little mindset is not only naive but disgusting that you approve of it.
I hear ya but look it up. He used his line item veto power on this right after he got it. 2/3 spending cuts on defense & in the fine print it included nasa.

If you set it up right the key changes at set intervals and even the admin doesn't know what it is.

I remember my old TI-85. That thing was awesome in college.
Weird they made one almost 10 yrs later called a TI-84...heh.

so we can land these probes in places more interesting than a wide open plain.
Give it time. Right now the goal is to find evidence of water. You won't be likely to find that in higher plains or hills.

This can't be true. We American males do NOT ask females for directions! j/k of course for you psycho mods out today...sheesh.
Cutting spending by 2/3 hurt the program. You can't deny that. Giving them more $$ had to help. I don't see how you can deny that.
Since throwing 1/3 less $$ meant no redundancy or error checking budget and lives were lost.
