What on earth are you talking about? "Reach back to the DVI standard" probably isn't a good way of saying it, but they do cover the failings of the DVI standard and note how HDMI totally failed to avoid them. I also can't find anywhere that mentions a relationship between audioholics and belden or the author and belden apart from the review that was mentioned in the article...
On Schneier's blog today on this topic there was one smart commenter with an interesting idea. What the terrorists should do is still rig a phone up to a bomb that detonates a second after phone signal is lost. This way you can plant a bomb and you know you only need to blow up an area the size of a football field!
Isn't it wonderful that the terrorists have time to prepare now with so much warning? This is a movie plot threat straight out of James Bond. Security theatre at best.
Why do you need to develop a linux-only game if you use an opengl/openal code path? OpenGL and OpenAL run fine on Windows, and if you use something like SDL or GLUT then you can even compile the exact same 3D graphics code on Windows and Linux.
"Um... in spite of Richard Stallman's rather pathetic attempt to redefine the English language, that is what the term "free software" actually means. You cannot legitimately criticize the Oracle representative for using the English language correctly."
And what about when went to the star wars conference dressed in star trek regalia. WTF were those guys on about? The whole story of star trek is a war in the stars, so it's obviously star wars! Damn those guys don't speak english very well!
And when I tried to charge that thief on crimes against humanity. Aren't I human?
I was going to point out the same thing, but I'm wondering why he's so desperate for the article when it's obvious that he couldn't even be bothered to read the summary...
That's true, nothing's perfect. I don't believe that all, every single one, of the web sites and applications that I test for security will have perfect security later, but that doesn't mean that it won't have *better* security.
So then they should do an amazing thing and actually *pay* a security researcher to test the security under controlled conditions in a non-production system! Did you really think I was suggesting that they should do nothing when someone's trying to break into a nuclear power reactor? That is black hat attacking, not security research. It's illegal and unethical. I was simply suggesting that it's naive and idiotic to think that doing security research on systems where security is so vital is stupid.
The real problem comes when commercial vendors, when someone points out a flaw the vendor tries to sue the researcher to shut them up, using stupid things like the DMCA when the security researcher did nothing wrong nor dangerous, and was just trying to make the programs more secure.
No you didn't have to wait till the next release of ubuntu, they offered the package in the backports repository however this repository isn't turned on by default for fear of breaking things. See this
So you instead just pretend or blindly hope that they're secure and simply wait for the first person to come along who actually *wants* to cause traffic chaos or launch nuclear missiles?
Using the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal method. All we need to do is arrest anyone who points out your obvious idiocy then the obvious idiocy will obviously disappear.
Yes that is the case. It wasn't presented publicly before now because the researcher was using "responsible disclosure", trying to make sure as many people are patched before it becomes general knowledge. That's why you only hear about many Microsoft flaws after they've been actually patched.
Some of the nicest people I know are muslims, my favourite sports player is aboriginal and I've dated a couple of asian girls. Do I now get my own day?
Definitely in Sydney apart from a couple of bad idiotic cultural gangs of both white and "brown" descent (see the cause of the Cronulla Riots) there really isn't that much racism around.
Saying Konqueror is a clone of Windows Explorer is like saying that a Ferrari is a clone of a Ford Model T. I mean the basic idea is the same but would you *really* want to drive the Model T to work every day?
Add to this that the memory randomisation and data NX support has been in the linux kernel for years...
Yes the point still remains. The bug severity must be in some way comparable to other operating systems and Vista's security features are no better than Linux's
What has condemning the use of torture have to do with regulating TV? Are you saying that allowing the showing of torture on TV means that you're in favour of torture in real life?
The other day we installed a printer in our office. When setting it up on my laptop under ubuntu edgy it took five clicks. One of these clicks was clicking the "print" key in openoffice.
When my colleague tried to print from his own ubuntu box I mentioned how it was depressingly easy and really took the fun out of things. Ten seconds later he mentioned "damn, you're right".
Is it bad that I miss doing manual configurations and downloading and compiling patches?
Good is a relative thing. There isn't much bad wine in Australia.
Case in point: a Duck Creek Estate wine was at one point sold for under $10 in Australia while it was worth over $200 in America. This is from the same batch of wine.
Apologies for deeply offending you. All we talked about when I was studying the subject was that optical reflectors that are too large fail and distort, so they have to split them up into tiny flat mirrors. I suppose I never considered the topic too much!
Apologies in clicking reply too soon. The last line should read:
So in other words, we already have radio telescopes (or rather telescope arrays) with larger resolutions than hubble, and the level of technology required in building large optical telescopes is simply miles ahead of the radio telescopes.
The difference is that radio telescopes don't have to be a mirror - they can even just be a mesh. Radio telescopes are relatively really easy to make - there's no real precision to them, an interferometer is easy to make so resolution is usually not a problem. Optical telescopes on the other hand, do require mirrors and they must be almost perfectly flat. To complicate things, you can't just get a mirror like those in your bathroom because glass is a liquid and this means that if you make it out of glass then it won't stay a parabola for very long. You also can't put it anywhere near "fresh" air because the dust that settles on the telescope would severely disrupt the picture.

Actually I don't believe he was criticising the practice. He was merely pointing out that not upgrading doesn't save the DOT any money in software licenses. That is on topic.

PS IAASR, though a relative beginner at the job.

... something tells me you're not really a fan of the theory of relativity are you?
May I point out, however, that it is actually oldish news - last month's Black Hat in Amsterdam was quite obviously over two weeks ago.
Yes that is the case. It wasn't presented publicly before now because the researcher was using "responsible disclosure", trying to make sure as many people are patched before it becomes general knowledge. That's why you only hear about many Microsoft flaws after they've been actually patched.

And bring up an extremely polarising issue? I think you have a more idealistic view of a "good politician" than I do.
