Any bets on how long it'll be until someone finds either a hole in the Microsoft PNG decoder or libJPEG? We've had holes in libPNG and Microsoft's JPEG decoder.
Do you really think anyone would be able to view a 100 year old film stored in an attic? Very few people have the equipment to do that now,
I don't, but I figure I can build a projector in about an hour -- film is one of those media with what is known as a "self-documenting format", sort of like photographs or writing on paper.
All sorts of mechanical problems. Parts of the station will need to not rotate, and if you've never tried to make a rotating joint airtight, you're in for some fun.
Actually, it's a race for the finish. Scaled Composites is making their first launch on September 29. The Da Vinci project is making their first launch on October 2. The winner of the prize will be the one who finishes their second launch first -- and that second launch must take place within two weeks of the first.
IIRC, the XBox has a GeForce3 as the graphics card. You should be able to find one of those for around $30 or so. You might even be able to find a mainboard with one integrated.
I don't know that particular mainboard, but I expect the on-board graphics aren't 3D accelerated. You should probably add another $30-$50 for a GF4 MX or equivalent card.
The problem with Newton's method is that it isn't certain to converge. Other methods converge, but are slower than Newton's. If this method is both fast and certain to converge, it's an improvement.
They'll get a better analysis of the situation. For example:
- Caller reports "There's been a major accident and there are bodies everywhere!"
- 911 operator turns on camera, notes that the involved vehicles have already been pulled off to the side of the road and nobody seems seriously injured, and only dispatches one ambulance and one police car.
Can those cameras give any detail more precise than "There is a red car in the center lane of I-5"? For example, can they be used to read license plates?
No, they can't. There are certain things you can't restrict in a contract, and if you do write a contract that restricts them, those clauses in the contract are null and void.
I don't know about that. He's lost me permanently as a fan: I haven't seen Ep. 2 and won't see Ep. 3, and the only copies of the movies I've got are the laserdisc rips and the Phantom Edit.
The best-known example of this was the Celeron 300A: most of those were down-rated 450MHz CPUs. Overclocking started to get popular when people discovered this.

Check the "about" box for the program. Most of the libWhatever libraries use a four-paragraph BSD or other license that requires attribution.
How long until someone finds a flaw in the Microsoft ASCII renderer that lets an attacker run arbitrary code?

Googlese? Is that related in any way to Goatse?
Sounds to me like it should be sufficient simply to have a tainted JPEG image on a web page.
...Everyone else uses libJPEG.

You don't know what the Karnak attack is, do you? I belive it's related to rubber-hose cryptography.
Yoper is faster because you don't need to compile it.

A submarine can take advantage of gravity. A spaceship can't.

Look up the "halting problem" sometime. It's impossible to algorithmically prove that a computer program is correct (bug-free, etc.).
No, they can't. There are certain things you can't restrict in a contract, and if you do write a contract that restricts them, those clauses in the contract are null and void.
Use of the 2.4GHz radio spectrum is one of them.

This is just a rumor. Ken could have lost before that, or he could still be going. I find 75 to be a suspiciously round number.
No, not really

The FX series are just rebranded Opterons.
