from TFBBC: "Theo Jansen is evolving such clever designs"
Oh, I get it, science people: Clever design OK, Intelligent design NO. A wonderful experiment in Intelligent Design hastily thrown in the evolutionists camp with no reason whatsoever. Is THIS science?
You mean downgrade? what about the old desktop box with no mic, an easily detachable and crappy speaker for beep, no wireless stuff integrated into the CPU as an anti theft device, no official wireless modem, and always-on fans at a fixed speed (to stop in his track the resourceful black hat that one day will try malicious communication over fan freq.).
the GT-R is ugly, the zr 1 and viper are barely ok. There is one reason why the overpriced italians sell. Me, i'd rather go for an ariel or a caterham, for fun.
That is modifying the terms of the problem, not a solution.
A solution is: have pilots run simulation exercises while they are flying on autopilot. We'll call it the yo dawg routine. This will both have 'em stay alert at all times, prevent them to running candy crush on their tablet and brand new wifi equipped airplane, and train them without losing time. All you need is a spare monitor and a "this is not a simulation" honking siren when real emergencies arise
And when somebody eventually tries to patent this sh*t remember you read it first here.
> sad but true. as a US citizen, I am sorry for how badly we have botched the world's trust.
Don't worry, you never have been trusted as a nation. Individual Americans, sure, I am likely to trust them more than my countrymen, but collectively all political entities behave the same. Our interests first.
All you're doing is adding a middle man, the certificate authority, that somehow you're supposed to blindly trust to never, not even once, fuck it up and issue a certificate that is later used to fuck you with.
I would also add that, in practice, it's the third middle man. The second is the ISP.
You likely have downloaded the browser with the CA list from the net, has it been tampered with? You validate the download with checksum, gotten from the net, has it been tampered with? what about the package manager keys, are they safe? Possibly if you have a preinstalled OS with secure credentials to communicate with a package repository you are ok, but currently that OSes come from Apple or MS, which managed to happily stay in the market when services trying to offer encrypted services have to shut down without being allowed to disclose the details. Are you going to trust them?
And the connections through ISPs likely have some proprietary OS running BGP or whatever inter-network protocols.
The first man in the middle is the hardware, keys are somewhere in ram or proc cache, hardware running malicious supervisors might just get them, while you're happy with your open source stack. (BTW I am happy with open source stacks because they tend to be written to help humans instead of articulated money traps like most commercial stuff)
I am OK with people saying: this is MY stuff and you don't get any advantage out of it, period. Unfortunately, the music biz is more like: "here, get the first dose, it's free" = lots of PR, payola airplay, artificial support in the social media.... When the artist gets famous it's "hands off, you have no license to do anything!", which technically is true but also frustrating.
You're clearly a disinfo agent. Reptilians combined with truthers make sure the drive start malfunctioning at a certain date by simply keeping a watch on the metadata written on the disk itself for created or updated files. For the few cases of 100% encrypted storage they rely on internal counters that officially do S.M.A.R.T. metering.
Americans? Olympics have been a propaganda event at least since 1936. If you like sports, practice them, with the least amount of money involved, preferably. All the rest is fluff.
Yes, but all of these vulnerabilities should be patched in later revisions or used by a zero-day, which can happen to any OS. The article seemed (to me at least) hinting at a linux-specific way of doing things wrong.
My question instead is "What linux system automounts usb drives without the noexec flag", or "how on hell did whatever program get executed by the onboard systems". Did the malware reside on some personal device and exploited some remote weakness on the systems which i guess give network access to get the much needed email and lolcat pic of the day?
But I'm too lazy for TFA so I'll pass with a "meh".
He sinked his own company once, he could do it again. But why? I mean, even slashdot had realized Elop was working for microsoft all along, whom would he work for now? Is google planning to buy microsoft? apple? the NSA?
And if that bullshit were true, why not target all the other sites that talk about ubuntu displaying the logo? (free publicity)
Anyway IANAL but I agree, if third parties were simply asked to enter a short agreement and put "Ubuntu logo by Canonical ltd. used with permission" the trademark would be safe.
In general, I used to wonder why the same power structures that promote all sort of evil activities want people to have reputation and good behavior. Then I got it: reputation, honor systems, being married with kids and so on, provide more ways to control those subjects. They have much more immaterial things to lose. People should behave well because they feel like it, not because of peer pressure. It's the most evil peer pressure because it transforms a good choice into a neutral obligation.
The time spent on running code vs compiling code, for me, is like 10000:1, to be optimistic. Compilation time is pretty irrelevant for me and I daresay most users.
Being concerned with human-caused climate change, scientists plan to solve the problem with the proven capacity of nuclear to quickly get rid of humans. See the experiments of Hiroshima, Chernobyl...

the rimac concept one is quite performant too, pity for the somewhat hefty price.
Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) 2,8 seconds
Range: up to 600 km (realistic range â" 500 km)
Braking distance: 31.5m (100-0 km/h)
Lateral g-force: 1.4 g
Efficiency: 140-550 Wh/km
40 kW on-board charging
100 kW fast DC-charging
Weight-to-power ratio: 1.79 kg/hp
Weight distribution: 42% front, 58% rear
No, not awesome, MATE!
Ok then the solution is fully automated flying. In zeppelins.
That is modifying the terms of the problem, not a solution.

I guess we need more hipsters.

IMHO this situation needed the HCF opcode.
My question instead is "What linux system automounts usb drives without the noexec flag", or "how on hell did whatever program get executed by the onboard systems". Did the malware reside on some personal device and exploited some remote weakness on the systems which i guess give network access to get the much needed email and lolcat pic of the day?

He was a bit lagging though, I would not rule out that the negative reaction of the web played a role. Anyway, he did the right move.
> ... he stole some passwords ...
and he didn't even do that, he merely copied them. This intellectual property debate is going out of hand!
He sinked his own company once, he could do it again. But why? I mean, even slashdot had realized Elop was working for microsoft all along, whom would he work for now? Is google planning to buy microsoft? apple? the NSA?

Nooo, he only encrypted the term with that unique algorithm.

You got it upside down.
Being concerned with human-caused climate change, scientists plan to solve the problem with the proven capacity of nuclear to quickly get rid of humans. See the experiments of Hiroshima, Chernobyl...
not to mention that publicizing the idea makes it fail, as your average terrorist is now going to avoid dumping into sewers.
Did not seem to help, compared to...?
I mean you should cite an incident with similar circumstances where nobody armed was around to stop the guy.
I do not imply that in this case the reaction of guards has been efficient, anyway.
