If the detectors are that cheap and small that they can squeeze them into cellphones, just stick them into street lights and then (assuming the terrorists dont have access to cranes and ladders) you have a bit more trust in your data. You are overlooking a small detail here: If you put it in streetlights, it is no longer the consumer who is paying for your scheme...
Did yo know they even track what kind of bagage you check in and what clothes you wear and match it to your trip data? A suit going for 2 days to NY with minimal bagage= ok. Same suit going to Hawai for 2 days with minimal bagage = trouble...

Toshiba expects to install the first reactor in Japan in 2008 and to begin marketing the new system in Europe and America in 2009.
Now THAT should get interesting
How about dropping the "everything is just glorified telnet" approach? What should a network do? 1: Identify a user; 2:Identify a machine; 3: Send a file (FTP, SMTP, HTTP); 4: Stream data continuously (Radio, Chat, IM). Why is it we have 25 protocols which all implement a combination of the above 4?
Transporting electricity over long distances is expensive. There are better solutions. Deep-freeze warehouses can drop their temperature when there is a lot of wind and then turn off the coolers when there isn't. In Esbjerg (DK) they have both windmills and distributed central heating (small power plant uses exhaust to heat houses). When there is a lot of wind, people turn on their central heating and the power plant has to generate a lot of electricity to be able to supply all those houses with exhaust heat. With the windmills running full power, the price of electricity drops to zero. Now you can transport all that power to Poland, or you can tell some of those Esbjerg houses to switch to electric heating. What do you think is cheapest?
The proposed enforcement body would use information collected by internet service providers on their highvolume users to detect illegal file-sharing. Persistent offenders would be cautioned but could see their internet accounts suspended or terminated if they ignored as few as two warnings.
Sounds harsh, but still beats suing school children for 100k $. Question is of course: what if I Bittorrent a Distro's ISO?
Cuban medicine has shown for years that mother nature provides all kinds of wonderful molecules for free. They even have a bio-version of Viagra. Problem is these things are not patentable. So a large medicinal company has to spend tons of money on trials and FDA approval, and the very next day half a dozen competitors can throw a "me too" version on the market without incurring those costs. Sorry for you if you have cancer, but don't hold your breath 'cause it ain't gonna happen.
In almost all current attacks nowadays, you have a few high-tech stealth planes taking radars out, followed by (often weeks) of bomb delivery with almost no danger from the ground. When did a you last hear about a fighter going in a dog fight at supersonic speeds? Is there a point in making anything better than a F16? Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on making a cheap fighter plane? Make it slow, robust,non-picky for landing conditions and fuel. Any weapons platform will cost less if it doesnt have to work supersonic...
In corporate networks, this will just lock down your PC a little more than it already is. Nothing to see here, move on please. It is in the home this shit gets interesting. Do you want your ISP, and possibly MS, to rule your PC? For the typical/. reader, the answer is a clear NO. But what about grandma? Imagine your ISP offering 2 kinds of subscription: a normal, "free" one and a "protected" one. The protected one is firewalled (or at least NAT-ed) at the ISP, with just "sensible" traffic allowed, like HTTP(S), SMTP to the ISP's own server, and with a limit on 50 emails/day. Throw in some MSN and Skype. Have the ISP use TC to inforce patches and anti-virus. I think grandma would be happy for it, it would extend the lifetime of her PC (slower buildup of spyware cruft) and for the rest of us it would cut back on Spam.
Well somebody is getting it right...
I am living in a shitty little village in Denmark and and the "Meet interesting girls in..." adverts from Adult Friend Finder have zeroed in. A year ago they gave towns 60 km away from here, now they are always within 10 km.
If you make biofuels the "traditional" way, you use microorganisms to break down molecules. These organisms use part of the energy stored in the fuel, and on top of that they are usually quite specific. What would be better would be to build a big nuclear reactor, and use its energy to heat up your (agricultural) waste to plasma temperatures. Inject coal, water or air to control your final product, and allow the plasma to condense, possibly in contact with the right catalysers. Voila: biofuel. And instead of having removed lots of joules from it, you will have injected some. At the same time, you got yourself an eco-friendly way to get rid of organic pollutants like insecticides. (You will have to find another way to treat heavy metals.)
For f*ck sake. When will they understand? Why do you think the RIAA moron forwarded all his email to GMAIL? Because it is 10 faster to search in old emails! Outlook / Exchange totally sucks at everything except ONE: Send an invitation to 20 people for a meeting, book the room and the projector in ONE go, see on ONE screen who has accepted and synchronise the whole shitload with even the crappiest Nokia west of Honkong. You gonna make a better email, you better choose: either you make a corporate client with meeting requests built in, or you totally reinvent email. In this case I am talking about slowly building up a network of trusted SSMTP servers (Yahoo and GMAIL to start with) and make it VERY easy for people to avoid spam. Spam should not be detected in the client. The trusted mailservers should tag a mail as "probably spam" and then the client should just run the one rule: throw out everything marked as spam, unless the sender is in my adress book. The day people learn they can get zero spam with zero configuration, that is the day you will kick Outlooks butt (in the domestic marked).
98% of all Linux machines are used for tasks where 3D graphic performance doesn't matter. Another 1% are people who jumped from Unix/SGI and know what they are doing/buying. There are not that many graphic-intensive games for Linux. This will only be important for people who want to run Aero-style 3D desktop environments. Your local banks webserver won't run it. Don't worry.
take in account that European ISP's have always used large cache servers, so your WAN likely contains one big motherf*** Squid machine. They will also link to the other locals (ISP's in the same region) throug regional exchanges and really only throttle trafic to the US and asia.
Isn't everybody always complaining how x86 is an awefull archtecture dragging 20 years of backward compatibility like a block of concrete? A one watt processor surely aims at the mobile/embedded market. Backward compatibility is not an issue there. I can't see anybody running his old Windows 3.11 accounting software on his mobile, and this thing won't come with a "Vista-ready" sticker... Linux and Windows CE (or whatever they call it today) run just fine on ARM and similar. Will a low-power x86 compete performance-wise with a low-power RISK architecture?
Let me rephrase that a little more politely to dodge the "Flamebait". This is develloped at the Katholic University in Leuven. This is in Belgium, not Holland. It is one of the oldest universities in the world, known for the "rape of belgium" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I#Rape_of_B elgium and, more geeky, the AES encryption algorithm. Now with all the British always joking about "name a famous Belgian", pardon us if we protest when credit due is sent across the border instead.
If the average paper is only read once, it is because - in some places it is the quantity of papers produced that counts and not the quality - because they are not published in open websites where they can be indexed by search engines.
And in the mean time, in the rest of the world, crippled phones DON'T EXIST. Because the phone you use is independent from the carrier. Welcome to open standards (GSM).
hybrid or not, this thing is going to pull around a gazillion tons of steel. Tanks are heavy, strong, maneuvrable. They are NOT green. I guess the idea has more to do with being able to drive in "stealth mode" for a couple of hundred meters.

Imagine all your PC's have their own IP address. (Scenario more likely if you have IPV6). You can put a firewall where your NAT used to be, have all the advantages of NAT and none of the disadvantages. NAT is an ugly hack which, by pure coincidence, turns out to have some firewall-ish features.
