If security was super high, and there were a limited number of people needing to access, you could have the login give you an 8 digit code and you would enter that into the client next connection, and it would use that to pick the ports to knock. This would make it impossible to access SSH even after snooping an exchange.
It could also wait 3 minutes before allowing another connection, in the interim running a daemon that accepted and login and spit out "please wait 3 minutes" instead of a real prompt. Or you could use public key authentication for your SSH security rather than just passwords. I have a 1 in 10^8 chance of guessing your 8 digit code. You have a 1 in 2^1024 (often less) chance of guessing the correct private key. Combine that with blocking brute force attacks and that's all the security you practically need.
No, it's not a bad example, it's a very good example that's intended to make you notice that LaTeX doesn't necessarily place images inline. Thanks for the clarification -- I'm glad you have inside knowledge of their intent. I was thinking the graphical tour was trying to show the benefits of Lyx when in reality what looks to be a flaw in the software is really just a lesson in the finer aspects of LaTeX.
I'm sure they have, but on the other hand, what if the hijacker climbs down into the avionics room and bypasses the security? Or just disconnects the antenna? I agree that it's a dumb idea overall, but a trivial solution to the above would be to have those particular components only accessible for maintenance while the plane is on the tarmac. Such as an access panel only accessible from the exterior of the craft. In which case, overriding them would require insider help regardless. Also to take into consideration is the amount of time it would take to recognize a hijacking, realize that the plane has a high probability of being used as a weapon, negotiate with the terrorists to try and talk them out of whatever, and then make the call to shoot them out of the sky. It'd probably be just as easy for any fighter craft to gun them down manually.
So if we legitimately have to shoot down an hijacked airliner as we should have in September 2001, we won't be able to shoot an AIM-9 at it, we'll have to get close enough in order to shoot it down with the fighter's gun? I'm sure they haven't thought of having a signal broadcast from a satellite to turn off the anti-missile technology on a plane-by-plane basis, fully encrypted up the wazoo to prevent unauthorized use. Think OnStar(TM) for airlines.
If it's not a bug in TeX/LaTeX, then it's a really bad example they used and they should change it so that it is inline. When you're saying "The following is the famous platypus EPS file:" it's naturally expected that the image would right appear after the colon.
A bad tool can hamper your writing efforts but, assuming the one you're comfortable with doesn't get in your way, then the end result is going to be something printed in Times Roman font and the tool you used will be indistinguishable in the final product. A better comparison would be whether or not a modern composer can produce a better sounding symphony by using advanced software than Beethoven could using ink and paper.
I've been looking at the screenshots and noticed a discrepency:
Insertion of a figure in screen view layout followed by "We can now refer back to the picture as...".
Layout in paper view showing Figure 1 followed by the section heading, then "The following is the famous platypus EPS file:" then "We can now refer back to the picture as..." with nothing between the lines.
Figure 1 gets misplaced in the document -- it should have been inserted after "The following is..." and before "We can now refer back...".
Google results are based upon what the community think? Pagerank is based on others linking to websites. So in Google's case, the community == the entire internet instead of some limited subset who get to decide what's relevant and what isn't.
is that anything like addwords are democratic (as long as you have the money to pay for them) You mean AdWords? No, I wasn't referring to that -- see my comment above. Also if this new venture is to be for-profit, you think there won't be paid ads of some kind? Perhaps money exchanging hands for certain benefits as long as you have the money to pay for it?
He's a hero of the public domain movement to me, he has enabled an unparalleled wealth of free content (perhaps Sourceforge is a parallel), anyone who finds a way to make open collaboration profitable and therefore competitive in this capitalist world should be heralded a champion of the open source movement. And Wikipedia is profitable? I thought it was sustained by the donations of corporations (bandwidth, money, etc.), individuals (such as the latest fundraiser), and the efforts of its volunteer army. Where's the capitalistic profit? If he manages to make this one profitable then start the hero worship at your leisure, but so far I don't see much in the way of success.
So basically...they're asking for people to abuse the ranking system. To patrol something like this would require a company with resources like Google, and most likely the reason Google doesn't have such functionality. Just my two cents. And when you think about it, Google's pagerank algorithm already returns search results based on what the community thinks. This new venture is simply a means to take other peoples' sweat equity and turn it into profit for good old Jimmy while giving the people who did all the work little more than warm fuzzies inside, if that.
In addition, the hardware is frustrating-- no 2nd mouse button... Yeah, Linux shares the same problem. I installed Linux on my PowerMac and it only had one mouse button as well. It's too bad there aren't any third-party products which would alleviate this problem.
Who said anything about bringing liberty to anyone? The only thing I heard GW talk about was exporting democracy. Isn't this conflict's official name Operation Iraqi Freedom for which they have a Camp Liberty? There's no Camp Democracy over there.
Encryption? Why encrypt when you can just use a unique, unguessable ID and store everything of actual interest on a secured server? Encryption gives you the ability to verify that not only was the data read correctly, but that it is invalid rather than just being unscannable. So you can still have an unguessable ID (eg: a GUID) that's stored in a database and correlates with the info of actual interest, but also encrypt that. Where this could come in handy is in areas where there's a higher incident of employee fraud or the need for greater security/trackability. Assuming you've dealt with the problem of someone simply walking out of a store/warehouse with the product under their faraday-cage-equipped jacket, you still have a problem that someone could easily print up a barcode with the wrong information and affix it to the product essentially anonymously.
Implementing a public key infrastructure would allow for signing of printed barcodes. Let's say you used PDF417 as your barcode. You can encode up to 2710 characters of data. This allows for your unguessable ID and also have it signed by the private key of the employee doing the printing. You still need to deal with the problem of preventing forged logins, etc. but incidents of barcode fraud by outsiders will drop to zero and the number of attack vectors for insider fraud is greatly reduced.
This guy's problem was that he tried purchasing a $150 iPod with a $4.99 headphone barcode and naturally got caught. The better thing to have done(*) is to buy a top-end model of a product with a bottom-end model's sticker price. If you can achieve a > 2x price difference, then you can sell the original item at a hefty discount and make a profit. Was that the $149 iPod Nano or the $399 iPod touch? And if you're caught, you can easily feign ignorance as it's more likely that it was an employee labeling error.
(*) Note: don't try this at home. It's still theft and makes you a thief. But if you're going to be a filthy thief, might as well do it a bit more intelligently.
Being able to work all night, then "Catch up" on my sleep while driving to all day classes would be awesome. I don't think others on the road would appreciate you sleeping while driving to your classes.
... firing of all its highest-paid salespeople... offer $1 million retention bonuses to executive VPs. Baker points out that each one of these bonuses represents 35 years' salary for one of the fired salespeople. So their highest paid salespeople made just under $30K a year? If highest-paid == best producing, they can easily command a lot more than that elsewhere.
11 Years no GUI, and no JIT and only partial MATLAB support.
Tell me again why GNU FreeSoftware is a better development model if you don't mind. It may not be the best now, but just wait until HURD is released... then this development model's superiority will be obvious!
And this probably represents index positions into the quote others mentioned which yields some long number, or perhaps some ASCII values... as this is likely some movie crap, I'm not all that interested in going further with it.
That's correct. The Standard Operational Procedure in such cases is to lower Charlton Heston into the cockpit on a wire, then safely land the plane. *Lower* Charlton Heston *into* a helicopter cockpit? I fail to see what adding a find red mist to the helicopter windshield will accomplish.
