Sorry, you are thinking of DES2. DES2 uses two keys, and works like this
Encrypt with A, decrypt with B, Encrypt with A. I'm not sure on the specifics, but using three encryptions makes it possible to exhaustivly search for A and B on their own, while using a decrypt (As far as is known) requires all combonations of A||B to be exhausted.
DES3 does, in fact, use 3 keys, and is encrypt with A, encrypt with B, encrypt with C.
What dirt? The Vince Foster case is pretty open and shut. Here is everything that is known: He comitted suicide by multiple gunshots to the mouth and neck. Although there was no blood found in his locked car, except what little dripped and pooled on the seat, and no bullet holes OR bullets anywhere in the vehicle, he obviously killed himself in it. His glasses were found 20 feet from his locked car, covered in his blood, but that is to be expected. Most people remove their glasses before they kill themselves. A black revolver, large calliber revolver was found on Foster. Mrs. Foster later identified this silver gun as the silver gun owned by Foster. The autopsy found the small.22 wounds in the mouth and neck were consistant with the.38 black revolver found on Foster.
So there you have it. But if the dirt you are waiting for are the police photos and other evidence, they will never be released. The Supreme Court has decided that Mr. Foster's right to privacy trumps any potential public interest.
This is true. As a note, there is such a thing as felony reckless endangerment
To be reckless endangerment, you need the following:
Substantial, Unjustifable, and Grave risk to another
The person must be aware of this risk and disregard it (Or be intoxicated, and as such, oblivious to the risk. In either case, it must be an obvious risk)
The risk must be of such a nature and degree that its disregard is a gross deviation from the standard conduct to be expected in that situation
In addition, to be FELONY RE, you need to demonstrate "depraved indifference towards human life." This means that, when viewed objectivly, the defendants conduct is found to be so callous, uncaring and inhumane, that is demonstrates a total disregard for the human life he/she is endangering.
So, I would say reckless endangerment, although others on/. have already argued that since there are few DVD-related accidents, the risk is obviously not substantial (I disagree). I would also argue that a person of any competence should be aware that not paying attention to the road is dangerous...and I should hope that it is a gross deviation from the norm...However, I do not believe it is depraved indifference. I would expect that he wasn't trying to have an accident, and therefore is a dumbass, but not cruely and calously indifferent to death. A person driving on the wrong side of the road to laugh at the people swerving...that would be a felony, because they KNOW people may/will crash as a result, and simply don't care.
My girlfriend once say somebody playing the trumpet while driving. They were turned sideways for room, steering with one hand, and watching the road with occational sideways glances before looking back to their sheet music...
On another note, studies have also shown that, in addition to smoking and eating, talking on a cellphone is as dangerous as talking to a passanger.
This is true. However, he has sold, through Amazon referals, $100,000 in SG1 DVD sets. Personally, if somebody who made a show said it was OK to put up some sample episodes, and link to where you can buy the rest, I would assume it was, in fact, OK...
I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. Here is how it works. We Canadians pay a tax on blank media, such as CDs, minidiscs, DVDs, tapes, MP3 players, and VHS tapes. Now, included in this law is the provision that you can copy to these media for personal use, without breaking copyright law. Downloading to your hard-drive does NOT qualify, even if you say that you intended to burn them to CD and then delete them from your hard drive...there may be a recent ruling that clarified this and made downloading allowable, but I'm not aware of it.
Recently, a judge said that sharing songs online is no different than placing a photocopier in a library. He argued that, although the person sharing a file is providing an automated copying service to the public, it is the person USING the service who is making the copy, and therefore, breaking the law. So, in Canada, it is illegal to download songs, but precident now says that the mere act of sharing them is not illegal. This is different that the USA, where both parties are making the copy, and both are breaking the law.
I know its in every EULA out there, but it's not actually a legal clause. You CANNOT indemnify yourself against product defects, or unfitness for a specific purpose. These are automatic things that come along with a purchase, and cannot be signed away. However, contract law varies from state to state, and country to country, so maybe it is valid some places...I only know about Canadian law;)
Exactly! I mean, the second time I was The Two Towers, I noticed that when the horse was about to stomp on Pippen, he raised his magically unbound hands, but in the next scene, they were clearly retied. That doesn't mean I didn't like it though. That doesn't mean I liked it less the second time though.
The override for my car's alarm is the ignition. If you trip the alarm, you have 10 seconds to put the key in the ignition before the alarm actually goes off. Mind you, the alarm isn't set off by touching the car, but by sitting in the driver's seat.
Hehe, did you read the link? Canada isn't really higher. It's like 40% instead of 39.6% Higher, but not signifigantly.
On the other hand, that website is out of date, and wrong. Canada's highest tax bracket is actually 29%, not 40%! Also, it kicks in at $100K, not $40K. You pay provincial taxes too...but in the US you pay state taxes (unless you live in one of the 7 without them), and the 39% figure does NOT include those! If you live in Montana, for example, you pay 11%, for a total of 50%. In Canada, the highest (Newfoundland) has you paying 18%, for a total of 47%. (Quebec may be higher, but the government website didn't list it for some reason.) Our lowest is alberta, @10% with no brackets, for a total of 39% So we are 0.1% lower for our least taxed province compared for the USA's lowest states, and our highest province is 3% lower than the USA's highest state. Then again, the brackets are also different sizes, so the averaged rate will be different too.
Sigh. If you read it, you'll see that it isn't so cut and dry. The defendant was getting greedy (IE charging higher and higher fees) so the plantif decided to switch providers. So the defendant got pissed off and said they will royally screw up the transition out of spite. This lawsuit is to prevent them from screwing them over until the plantif is finished transitioning their 400,000 machines. They don't want to keep them, they just don't want to be suddenly cut off.
Yeah. And if there is a normal ethernet connection that you have phyiscal access to, you can denial of service it by cutting it with some cable cutters. The ability to disable a device if you have the ability to hack it up physically is not really a problem. The point is, with a regular ethernet, you could either tap it or diable it. With a quantum connection, you can ONLY disable it, and cannot tap it;)
Read the moderator guidelines. A Troll is something that is factually inaccurate, and intended to start a debate on false premises, or to get helpfull "Corrections". Flamebait is just being offensive.
It's a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease...
Firstly, it is none of those things. It is a relativly minor imbalance that is easly treatable. Even untreated, you don't go insane. You'll certainly have trouble concentrating, and perhaps hear voices...many teens diagnosed with depression and pumped full of drugs actually have Schizophrenia, and should be on completely different drugs. (As a side note, antidepressents are NOT known to work on people under the age of 21. In fact, double-blind studies show a signifigant increase in symptoms of depression over those receiving a placebo treatment, and a 50% increase in suicide attempts)
So there you go, that bit of the article is wrong. "A Beautiful Mind" isn't very accurate, either in what happened, or in what Schizophrenia is like...but the article never said it was, just "If it is...". AFAIK, the modern medicines do not make you impotent, or have any other nasty side effects, but I havn't looked into it.
However, the submitter is admitting not knowing about the disease, and is asking for information. He made some inaccurate statements at the beginning, but that is because he doesn't know much about the diease (And hence, is asking for help). In conclusion, although the submission is not 100% correct, it is not a troll. A troll would have to be full of things that the poster knows to be wrong, and is hoping to get a rise out of people with. A troll article would have made more references to a Schizophrenic being crazy, refered to multiple personalities, and perhaps used the movie "Me, Myself, and Irene" as an example;)
That's true. But you see, when they first came out, they cost more than tapes. The record companies promised that was because they were new, and the price would come down once economy of scale kicked in, but it never happened. The point isn't whether the RIAA is ripping artists off, or whether the prices are fair to the consumer. The fact remains, they said when they got cheaper to make, they would get cheaper to buy, and this isn't true. They still cost more than tapes, and tapes cost a lot more to make.
No, it doesn't NEED a temperature of 80 degrees, it GENERATES a temperature of 80 degrees. So putting it right next to the CPU would probably overheat the system.
That won't be difficult, as SIV does not harm the simian host:O Some studies have shown that some primates have upwards of 90% infection rates for SIV, yet not one case of AIDS, or any sort of illness.
Not only that, but PCI is bidirectional, while PCI Express is not. A PCI express pair of wires transmits at 1.25Gib/s, so PCI express is barely faster than PCI at all for applications using mostly unidirectional stuff. Graphics cards, for example, are rarely used to send data back to the CPU. The difference is if, instead of 4 pins for a 1X PCI express connection, with 2.5Gib/s (1.25 each way), you have say, 64 pins for a 16X PCI Express connection, with 40Gib/s (20 each way).
Also note that the 1Gib/s figure for PCI is actually for PCI-X v1.0. Normal PCI like you would find in a desktop is much slower.
The plan is that a desktop motherboard would have a 16X PCI Express slot for the graphics card, some other slots, possibly from 1X-4X, as well as legacy PCI slots. A server, on the other hand, would likely have a bunch of 8X+ slots. (Because 8X is the first time when a PCI express slot is faster than a PCI-X V2.0 QDR slot)
But yes, it is funny to see them talking about "Blazing" avs. "Paltry" for figures that are actually pretty close;)
"We found the gun, and the bullets match the ones found in the body. Additionally, there was video evidence of the killing, and we found traces of the victims blood on his shirt. He claims he was visiting his mother at the time, and has no idea about the blood and the bullets. If he was out of state, his mother should be able to verify his claim"
"Outragous! Whatever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'???"
For those of you who don't get the example, nothing happened to "innocent until proven guilty." The phrase means that, up until you have been proven guilty, you are not to be treated as though you are guilty. What it does NOT mean, despite what everybody seems to think it means, is that you are not required to prove your innocence. You most certainly are. However, the prosecution is required to prove your guilt. If the proof is so flimsy that you do not have to defend yourself, it most likely would not go to trial. However, if the proof against you is solid, you will be convited unless you prove your innocence. Optimally, it would not be possible to prove somebody's guilt unless they were, infact, guilty. However, the world is not perfect. There are instances where evidence indicates you did something that you did not. In those cases, you can and should present an alternative explanation of the evidence. Presumption of innocence does not enter into it. This guy is not at all required to prove that a virus/trojan/worm downloaded the pornography. However, there is 100% solid evidence that he had said child pornography in his possession. If he does not prove his innocence, this is a sufficient proof of guilt.
Exactly. Where I lived they passed a new law for new drivers. For a while we've had graduated licencing. For a year and a half you are a "new driver" and have a zero alcohol tolerance level, but other than that all was good. Now they have upped it to longer (2 or 3 years) with the additional restriction that you can only have ONE passenger in the vehicle. The reasoning: There was an accident one year that involved a bunch of teens being loud in a car. Therefore, a law preventing passengers "will save approximatly 4 lives a year. If it saves even one life, it is worth it."
If you want laws that save lots of lives, everybody should wear a GPS belt 24/7, and there should be cameras on every street corner, and in every room of every store, office, and home, and all of their recordings will be tied together with this GPS database. If a camera sees somebody that isn't on the GPS system, the police can be dispatched immediatly. If even one serial killer is caught because of the video cameras and the GPS tracking, it will be worth it, right? No more kidnappings, right?
What the Iraq war has shown is that every nation in the world needs nuclear weapons, or the US WILL invade them. North Korea considers disarming, sees what happened to Iraq, and changes its mind.
But yes, the US knew they had no nukes. In fact, they must have known they had nothing at all. Ok, not "must." But with all the guns and planes and helicopters and tanks the US sent to Iraq, do you know what was missing? Hazmat suits, gas masks, biological containment gear, medical gear for treating chemical weapon victims. NO GEAR AT ALL TO TREAT VICTIMS OF THE ALLEGED WMDS, OR TO PROTECT AGAINST THEM. Either they simply didn't care at ALL about the troops being slaughtered by chemical and bioligical weapons...or they know there were no such things at all.
I have. Had to return it. Didn't work with XP. WEP was certainly not on by default. If it was turned on, it would no longer connect to the access port. Any other brand of card worked fine with WEP turned on, but not the MS card. Of course, it gave no error messages. You just tell it to connect, give it the key, and it says ok and then doesn't connect.
Hehe, given the effects that observers can have on quantum interactions, it just might be the case that the number of people who believe in string theory will determine whether or not it is valid;)
