It's always technically possible. The question then is did you serve the order to the ones who actually can decrypt it. Verizon is in the middle, so they can provide the raw traffic, but as they aren't the one doing the crypto, they're done as soon as the traffic is available. It's the software maker (and by extension Verizon as they're pushing it) who has that technical ability and thus requirement to hand over any keys.
(Yes, a system using ephemeral public/private keys known only to the phone and used only for a single call would be a very difficult system to tap.)
While CALEA doesn't explicitly include data services, any ISP (telco, whatever) does have to provide a tap when presented an order to do so. It's nowhere near the regimented and streamlined process -- and protocol -- spelled out in CALEA. ('tho they'd like it to be.)
If it's really end-to-end -- meaning the two phones are doing the crypto, then all that's passing through the telco (any telco) network is gibberish. What makes it decryptable from a capture is the company that made the software providing that ability.
The BS "market it to the gubment" is entirely that: Bull Shit. The US Government has very detailed, lengthly, and thorough processes for approving any cryptographic technologies. The fact that it's an "app" all but certainly bins it. The fact that a 3rd party (verizon, the authors, china...) can intercept and decode the traffic disqualifies it immediately.
Yes, but only when buses start carrying thousands of people. A bus carrying 30-40 people makes almost no dent in the thousands of cars involved in LA traffic. And it's part of that traffic. The only real solution is a metro that carries large numbers of people at higher speeds along dedicated pathways at low enough prices that no one even thinks about paying it. (the problem becomes a) where are you going to get the space to build it, and b) who's going to pay for it.)
This assumes your property wasn't zoned -- or was rezoned -- until after you bought it. I own a fair bit of property, and I know exactly how all of it is zoned; I know exactly what I can and cannot do with it, and I knew all that when I bought it.
Negative. When they get stopped, they'll just be waved on as soon as the cop looks at their license and sees their local address on it. Yes, it'll be a minor annoyance a few times, but far less of one than all the traffic. Plus, the local PD will be rolling in cash!
No. No. They. Won't. Just look at NC... "I"-540 south of I-40 is a toll road ("T-540"), and there's almost no one ever on it. Going north (clockwise) there's no traffic until you cross I40, and then it's a f'ing wall of traffic. Going south, I540 is packed all the way around the city... until you pass I40 and then there's almost zero traffic.
Right. Because freeway lanes are cheap and easy to build, and cause no problems during their construction. Plus, where the hell are they supposed to get the space for these lanes? Time Lord science? Many of the freeways in CA are in the air already, so "just pave more lanes" isn't remotely possible. (re-painting (smaller) lanes is a very bad idea!)
Making them a toll-road (making not a "free way" anymore), will actually *reduce* the number of drivers willing to drive on it, thus pushing the crowd to roads even less capable of handling it.
Around here, we use speed "humps" designed to keep you below 25mph. (yes, some cars can zip over them faster, but those people won't go in those neighborhoods.)
(and here I am getting drawn into a nazi arguement)
Without the pressure from the west from the "yanks", the Russians would've had a significantly more difficult road to Berlin. Despite Hitler's "failure" in 1941, the Russians were still not in Berlin *years* later, barely making headway, and in fact loosing some valuable territories, up to D-Day. Even after the Normandy invasion, it still took almost a year to get to Berlin. In the end, without US involvement and the allied western invasions (including north africa), things would've been very different for Russia -- facing Germany on one side and Japan on the other, almost entirely on their own. Kursk was the beginning of the end, but not because Hitler *lost*, but because he withdrew his forces -- he gave up, focusing on the increasing threats in the west. (no invasion of Sicily, Kursk might've ended in his favor -- 'tho I doubt it with Stalin being the embodiment of Zapp Brannigan)
No. One should never set it to auto-fucking-matic, because M$ is well known for doing this shit. Install updates in a controlled environment to see what might be b0rked -- where possible, that can be hard for many home users. OR wait until everyone else has done the testing for you.
Two points is a "saw-tooth" wave. You cannot get a true sine wave out of a DAC, no matter how many trillions of samples you take as there are still a fixed number of values (12bit, 16bit, etc.) to measure the signal. Yes, you can add external, ANALOG, circuitry to smooth out the transitions, but digitally, the sampling artifacts will always be there. (btw, saw-tooth to sine is a simple conversion)
(And since 99% of digital music these days is destructively compressed, that's only making it worse.)
It's an ARIN requirement when using ARIN's RPKI services.
The base issue with all this "route hijacking" has fuck all to do with RPKI. It's a simple matter of ISPs being a bunch of lazy asses who cannot be bothered to filter what gets announced to them. Sure, that becomes more work the larger you are, but that's the price of doing this kind of business!
If you're going to compare ClearCase to git and mercurial, it's flaming obvious you don't know the first god damn thing about CC. Slow? Stop using it like it's CVS (snapshots and/or across "T1" wan links from all over the place) Check your network and the PoS computer(s) acting as your servers. Pain to use? No more so than any other tool. If you bothered to learn to use it, it's no more complicated than anything else.
And every software house in the universe needs a dedicated admin to manage their build and source systems. Developers are hands down the worst idiots EVER at "configuration management", build scripts, and code organization.
(http://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.cfm?t=epmt_5_03) Average cost per kWhr is 12.41 cents. Even if the radio adds 1W (it doesn't) to the operation, that comes to (1W * 24hr/day * 365.25days/year / 1000W/kW * $.124/kW) $1.0878606. PER. YEAR.
(BTW, clicking the "off" box doesn't physically power off the radio chip(s). It'll cease transmitting, but the chips are still powered.)
Actually, they put a great deal of effort into protecting their software. However, with decades of experience, they know there's nothing they can do that cannot ultimately be broken / defeated. Windows 7 was supposed to be the greatest unhackable system ever, but OEMs demanded a simpler (more automatic) method which led to SLIC that hackers have been cheating (cloing the SLIC + vendor certificates) from day zero. The XP era "genuine advantage" crap has been hacked for almost as long as it's existed.
(I refuse to allow windows 8 within 50ft of me, so I have no clue how they've jacked up the anti-piracy BS there.)
Then provide that evidence... total number of clearances (by type, there are several), number of felons holding each clearance, number of felon applicants, and number of felon applicants approved. The number of felons will not be zero, but it will be insanely low.
Also, no matter what happens in the courts, the FBI doesn't remove shit from it's files. So, any detailed review will dig those things back up. (it can be an amusing pain in the ass to explain the same shit over and over every 2-5 years.)
(Guess what happens if you're charged with any felony while holding a clearance? You lose the clearance as soon as they learn about it.. no matter the charge, or outcome.)
Good at asking??? They DON'T ask. They don't listen. Everything they make appears to be designed by 12 year olds for other 12 year olds. read: they're constantly changing shit for no reason other than to change it.
Actually, I was thinking the same thing... how much of Montana has enforced speed limits? I've driven at "high speeds" on MT interstates. And I know many others that have as well. Yes, the roads are good, and there are rather few other drivers on them. (no, I'm not driving 90mph on snow/ice covered roads. 'tho I have driven ~100 at night, in the rain, at VIR:-))
While acceleration will account for 90+%, steady state fuel consumption will be significantly higher at 75 vs. 55. Your mpg numbers will not make that as blindingly obvious (a 2-5mpg drop, perhaps) -- if you can attach something that will log actual fuel rates, you'll see it clearly.
I seriously doubt that. Most common autos (anything in a price range the average person can afford) become significantly less efficient about 60-65mph. Above 70mph, air drag becomes extreme -- as they aren't designed or tested for those speeds -- and the mpg's drop rapidly. (if it weren't for air, yes, the engine is just as efficient at 85 as 65.)
(And for the record, there are a lot of cars on the roads that barely get 30mpg to begin with; at 85mph they sure as hell aren't. Not to mention the general lack of driver skill in the US -- 85mph takes focus and planning. (aka, get the f*** out of the left lane(s))
From the very origins of LTO... magnetic tracking marks, just like a hard drive, and floppies before that. If the servo tracking data is ever damaged or unreadable, the tape (and your data) is trash. No LTO drive ever sold can "format" a tape.
(Yes, it makes tapes cheap to manufacture. But above all, it means not paying Quantum for their patented laser optical tracking tech -- DLT has physical tracking marks on the back of the tape.)
Slashdot Mirror
... except when your application(s) and OS hide file extensions making it difficult for people to see it's an "exe".
(But yes, people are dumb.)
Sad, but true. All software has bugs. Some of them are in your browser.
(Windows does tend to have more (exploited) holes than most, 'tho)
