Also if they find a big flaw, the reason for burning the project, announcing that it exists and what it is, opens it up for exploitation.
Knowing it is there, large enough that it is not fixable within the current state of the code or at least not easily (say without starting from scratch), might make them abandon the project, yet be quiet about the actual details as to why. If they say how it is broken, and expose peoples data to exploitation, are they going to get sued? Likely there is wording that indemnifies them, but that might not keep people from trying. Just defending yourself can cost money. Also I have seen plenty of situations, where people know they are in the right legally, but choose a non-confrontation path, as it is best to avoid it altogether if at all possible, taking the lowest possible risk as they can, and if possible I am pretty sure lawyers would suggest this course of action if it is an option..
It very well could be "code speak" (pardon pun) for; "yes our code is compromised, no we are not allowed to talk about it, end communication".
Then again it could me less complicated than that, and taken at face value they could be saying; "Our code is a mess. Fixing it would take more effort than we are willing to expend for this project so we ended it. You are welcome to try, but we would recommend you just start from scratch as it contains many fundamental problems."
It is too bad, I've always considered it the defacto standard in encryption. I am not a huge fan of the idea of MS being my provider of encryption with bitlocker, though I have heard some good things about it. Then again it isn't exactly free either.
The Slashdot tinfoil hat part of me wants to believe the NSA story, however common sense tells me it is just another open project that was led by a dedicated few with little resources that became too much to maintain over time. That said, they were rather elusive about it in the end, so who knows. Then again that could be a professional record thing, liability, or legal... plausible deniability limiting personal liability sort of thing.
I was thinking the same thing. There was a slashdot article a few weeks ago asking if we were in another tech bubble, and I was like, nah.....
However now, I am not so sure. This is like the rest of these multi-Billion dollar deals, for companies I have never heard of, and probably like most people on slashdot consider myself pretty savvy insofar as tech news goes...
Exactly. This has far more to do with "hacking" than probably 90% of the crap that is out there.
People used to dumpster dive corporate headquarters looking for user manuals to pour over looking for vulnerabilities. Trying to understand the system intimately better than anyone else and taking advantage of that using clever hacks.
It is pretty much the definition. However like anything involving "hacking", I would be this story is being blown out of proportion. The kids found a manual, were able to get into an admin mode that let them change some trivial settings, and output some machine statistics, but that was about it, no money, etc... Just sensationalism, probably because they are 14.
A) He was at large for the whole duration of one day before giving up. B) Canada has more Guns per captia than the US. C) The long gun registry was scrapped by our current government. Canada does have slightly stricter handgun laws, however exactly zero hand guns were used. D) This did not involved explosions, or killing 20 children. 3 Police officers died. While tragic, I believe that is called a Tuesday night in some parts of the US.
It *is* a big deal in Canada however. I can only think one one other instance in living memory in Alberta.
Not really the same but close, you can get certain form factors with the CPU soldered to the MB... All CPU come with a basic HS, and some "goo".
Thought it is an interesting question. It is well known that CPU *REQUIRE* a heat sink, yet I have never seen any integrated into the actual design... perhaps it just doesn't work very well if they have tried it at some level...
Though I remember people lapping CPU's back in the day, though again that was more to level and ensure a good mating with the HS. Thought I have seen some that got the metal pretty thin as well almost exposing the core.
However the whole conversation is a bit moot. By Intel "targeting" the OC you pretty much eliminate the purpose for doing so in the first place. The whole idea was you take a cheap chip, and OC it to something much better. Now the chips you can OC are more expensive anyway...
One of the two new "features" is basically TIM that doesn't suck so much?
A) The first thing than an OC does is wipe whatever the fsck is on there off. B) Quality stuff is literally 4$ a tube, and per application is measured in pocket change. Is that significant to the cost of a high end CPU? C) Many new components like aftermarket HS and water blocks now come with quality TIM, and not just silicone sludge.
Excel is terrible at this. It wants to *help* and makes all sorts of assumptions. Even when you change to to what it should be, it will change it to something else and be all like "Hey wasn't I helpful for you!". Which can be defeated by some weird workaround you can find on the internet that you can never remember when it inevitably comes up again.
Most database ID keys are stored as text, even though they are literally a "string" of numbers. As are a lot of other unique keys that are used. Excel loves to put that into fantastic scientific notation for you as they are really big numbers and that is what you want right? Or into Long. Or Double. Format. Re-format. Copy values. Smash face against monitor. Set Format. Import. Cry. Search Internets. Eventually figure it out again. Swear. Curse whoever gave you stupid data in the first place... Why are people sending you data in excel in the first place, in such a horrible way? Face Palm.
If someone is having a problem with excel, or with access after importing data, I would guess about 90% of it is excel's messed up formatting/Typing.
That has nothing to do with spreadsheets, and more to do with people not understanding, math, business, or trying to push some agenda using BS statistics.
I reviewed a spreadsheet that statistically *proved* that a project was succeeding excellently. What it actually proved is that the project was a complete failure as it made absolute zero significant difference to actual operations. When I confronted the guy, and said, you know this is a huge lie right, that it is totally misrepresenting the values, he just made excuses, hand gestures and a lot of shrugging motions. It was presented to management and they all loved it. Later when it was brought up by management with me, I told them directly that it was complete bullshit. They don't care. They can show the same BS numbers to their managers, and get kudos. Everyone gets a feel good slap on the back and stuff for the CV.
So I don't know what the percentage might be, but I suspect a lot of *mistakes* have little to do with spreadsheet software, math skills, or even anything other than a collective desire for some decision to be justified.
Hmm. Didn't really know exactly, I just presumed that was how it worked really. Just extrapolated from how it works with satellites... that's why they have atomic clocks on them I believe. I would think that fluctuation in signal strength wouldn't allow for accurate mapping...
As someone who works in the world of GIS, your smart phone probably doesn't use GPS using satellites either.
If you read the fine print they use something called "GPS assist".
Your cell phone talks to cell towers. The towers are in known positions (coordinates). If your phone can connect to several towers, it can send a signal to them and receive a signal. If you time stamp that signal and measure how long it took that signal to travel, you can calculate distance. You can then triangulate those lines into a interpolated coordinate of where you are. I guess technically speaking cell towers MAY have GPS to actuall talk to satellites, but it isn't like they are moving so why bother (once you have a known coordinate).
Back when the military used to fiddle with the accuracy all the time, people used to use known base station locations to correct their data. This is more less the same thing, except there is more, and you ditch the actual satellite signal.
Satellites work the same way. That is why you need multiple satellites on your horizon in order to get a fix. Not enough, and no location. Same with cell towers, go out of range, and no more GPS...
Since cell towers aren't exactly "global" like orbiting satellites, it could be more accuratly described as simply PS, or a Positioning System, or perhaps LPS, Local Positioning System....
Either way cell phones do not talk directly to satellites, and do not contain a GPS.
They DO however have advantages. GPS do need line of sight to receive GPS satellite signals. Block that, and no position. The most common being simple tree cover. Your cell phone does not have that restriction, only that cell towers be in range, which if you are in the middle of nowhere is a problem.
This has always made me wonder about car tracking devices. If you attach an actual GPS to the bottom of a car, it isn't going to get any signals, as the body of the car will block it (unless you run an antenna someplace). However a cell phone assisted GPS would just need the car to be around cell towers to operate. For all you tinfoil hat people, cell signals can be disrupted locally.... however it is probably illegal in most places.
No doubt he reset everything back to factor defaults. His reasoning was likely that he was going to take his work with him when he left (configured their systems) and they could find someone else to do it for them. I have zero doubt that his "hacking" actually involved him just using his admin user account and password just prior to getting fired to do the things involved. No "hacking" involved other than it was used for somewhat nefarious purposes.
I was accused of loading a "virus" onto my high schools computer network once upon a time. The reality was I encrypted a personal disk, the guy sitting next to me tried to do the same thing and inadvertently encrypted his entire computer, and due to the way that particular computer lab had been setup, taking that computer off the network caused it to go down. I got suspended, and had to "fix" their network (basically doing a clean install on the machine in question). Not only did I not actually do anything with viruses, I didn't actually do anything myself (other than be poorly copied). However that didn't stop me from being suspended, nor did it stop the people from saying things that were untrue.
Pretty sure most governments already decided on Windows 7 anyway when XP starting coming to a close. This seems less a reaction than just a prudent large IT procurement decision. Pretty sure if I was in charge of the decision and someone thought that adding Windows 8 into the mix was a good idea, i'd tell them to go to hell also.
So this would be like those autonomous traffic light camera's issuing automatic tickets, which it totally about driver safety and totally not about the creation of a revenue stream.
Issuing speeding tickets should be about you know "law enforcement" and "public safety", not the generation of wealth.
In the new world we are heading, autonomous cars would likely be tamper proof (unless at a properly registered service prefecture), and should a seal be broken, its location would be immediately transmitted for mandated police violence action, who could then dispatch a drone to take care of it. Regular patrol, and even automated remote surveillance will be totally unnecessary, as that will all be taken can of by the car itself.
So long as the dirt is Uranium, then I think we have already done that. Along with a few other elements. As it turns out, it can be rather dangerous, and its largest problem is public opinion.
Before you start saying "but regular dirt", we are also talking about building a collider, which costs many many billions of dollars to look at he possibility to do these sorts of things on a level barely perceptible to human detection at all... so none of that!
Insomuch: 1) That democracy is friendly towards the US 2) They have vast reserves of oil 3) They give access to region for US military 4) They "stabilize" a region that has vast reserves of oil
Pretty sure if no oil was involved in any way, not a single fuck would be given.
Canada here. We've had bandwidth caps for half a decade now or more. They just appeared without warning. An edit to the EULA you never read. For awhile it wasn't even advertised. The change in my original EULA wasn't even mailed to me, but updated on an obscure website I would never check. At first when you went over, they would just disconnect your service. No more internet. That is how I actually found out about the practice in the first place. They did it all under the auspices of "Piracy" and that they were protecting your interests because they had detected that potentially someone had commandeered your connection for nefarious purposes. I had a few very nasty conversations with the ISP at that point. However how it is pretty ubiquitous. All carriers have them, and they are largely all the same. Some independents still offer "unlimited" however but usually at slower speed.
Comcast says 300GB, which is actually a good number. However the devil is in the details. All ISP offer different packages, 3-6, which have various speeds and caps associated with them. The lower packages are slower and have smaller caps, but are less expensive, while the higher end ones are faster and larger caps, but are expensive. I am not a ridiculous user, but I am a heavy user. A "normal" account ranges with caps from 20-80GB. I had an 80GB cap at one point, which I went over every now and then. However, if you do, you can basically double your bill. That account was about 50$, and some months I would pay 100$. Since I cancelled my cable TV and went all netflix, I decided to up my package to the 2nd fastest. That is 40MB DL and 275GB cap. I don't ever go over that, but it costs 80$ a month. The crazy part was my 80GB connection had a 16MB speed, which though unrealistic I know, if you use the values given, you could destroy your entire cap for the month in a few hours (then pay 10x per GB overage).
Anyway that is what you get to look forward to. It is coming. Basically unless you are a grandmother using it for email, all your bills are going to increase by about 50% for the same service. Enjoy!
"the share of Computer Science degrees as a percentage of BA degrees"
I am not mathmagician however last I checked a Computer SCIENCE degree was part of a Bachelor of SCIENCE...
Therefor the answer to that question should be about 0%.
A more meaningful statistic might be as a percentage of BSc degrees.
Even comparing it again the total isn't really fairplay statistcally, as all it could be showing is that BSc are down, and that BA's are up (all those MBA's looking for Wall Street foolsgold perhaps). In fact you could have an increase in actual computer science degrees, but if the ratio of BA's has increased by more then 1:1, it will look like a decline.
Anyway when I went to school it was sexy, however after two bubbles, and employers treating graduates like cattle rather than professionals, it isn't so much. Most of the fairytale stories you see of people making it rich, are not about uber technical skill, but rather being a snakeoil salesman con artist, able to sell to investors, or screwing over everyone around you at the same time.
I am not sure I would ever recommend anyone get into the field as a primary field of study anymore. That said, I think everyone in all degrees should have some exposure to some basic computer science, otherwise they are not doing themselves any favors. At least enough to get some basic understanding and competence.
