I propose we rename the Higgs Boson "the spaghetti particle" or "the noodley particle" or to be truly sensational, "the pirate particle." Though I do suppose that "the invisible pink particle" would also be appropriate.
SNMPv3 can have its own users configured, and you can use it to push out a firmware. So changing the default login info wouldn't matter if they created an SNMPv3 user to push out the firmware to your system since it would exist outside of the firmware authentication.
Wouldn't there be an order of precedence for multiple navigation signals? I'm not a drone engineer, so I could be wrong, but it would seem if you have multiple radios running you'd set priority for one over the others. If that one is jammed (say, find out what frequency its running on and flood that with noise) it will fail back to one of the other signals (perhaps civilian GPS), which could open a vector for exploitation? Just curious.
It would be nice to see what the glasses actually show people. Seeing a lot of video showing things from a headcam isn't super exciting. I know it's an alpha product right now, but what we're seeing as "glasses in action" is nothing that my buddy's 10$ groupon headcam can't do already - and apparently at higher framerates and resolution. In the demo we see people saying that they see notifications around the room, but you get no sense of that at all.
Actually, right now there is a *massive* push in comcast to try and make customers happy and focus on customer experience. This could quite possibly be an extension of that (disclaimer: I am a R&D engineer for comcast).
Strange, looking at their financials I don't see a point where they were "near bankrupt" except right near the beginning of their life as a small provider in Louisiana.
Teachers aren't brainwashed any more about macs than computer scientists were when it came to *nix systems. They're just what has been used for years, and tradition isn't broken too often when things "just work." You know the axiom - don't fix it if it isn't broken. It also helps that macs do have a ton of educational software because of their penetration into schools, and they're comparatively easier to learn than windows (especially the upcoming windows 8). A teacher's job isn't to spend 2 hours figuring out/waiting for someone else to figure out why their printer won't work with windows 7. Its to print a document and get back to teaching. Use a OSX compatible printer, and its as simple as plug and play, and print. When you've got a room full of 9 year olds, you can't divert your attention to technical issues or else some kid will end up with a pencil up their nose, and the teacher gets fired and the school gets sued - especially in the US. (Disclaimer: I have worked in two educational facilities on OSX/Windows/*nix systems, and I'm engaged to a teacher - she uses both a mac and a windows machine).
Ubuntu was amazingly simple to get up and running, about 95% of the os "just works." And amazingly it seems to have better bluetooth support than either windows 7 or osx (I have 1 bluetooth device, a stereo headset/mic and windows 7 flat out can't use it, and OSX disconnects it whenever I try to activate the built in mic or switch to stereo sound output).
Just curious - i thought one of the limits here was that eventually you hit a point where an electron can no longer freely pass through the conductor. I could be wrong (I am in no way an EE).
Just curious if something like this happened in the US... we're not planning any dance music (neither of us enjoys it, despite being in our 20's we may as well have been born in the 20's). My fiance (a music teacher and professional classical saxophonist) and I have decided we're going to have a string quartet for the ceremony, and a live jazz band playing standards for the reception. So, would they still try to shake us down?
Actually, I don't. Killing an insect is usually avoiding the fact that there is a larger problem. See a pile of ants? Pick up the garbage or spilled food. Tons of flies? Clean your dishes. Have a mouse tearing into your grains? Put them in a metal container. In my experience most 'pest problems' are human problems that animals take advantage of to do things like... you know... eat, and breed. How dare they.
And I stopped reading here. Calling something a "pest" is an opinion. While they may annoy you, cockroaches fill a biological niches, just like anything else that annoys you (from virii to noxious bacteria to your mother-in-law). They have a purpose, whether or not you choose to recognize it. Calling something a pest is akin to saying "I like purple!" It is devoid of actual meaning or constructive argument. Please reconstruct your argument and try again.
They still display nociception (writhing on a pin when stabbed for example), and they have receptors for endogenous opioids. This suggests that they still have some sort of elementary reception of noxious stimuli, and their bodies release chemicals to dull sensations of pain. While no, its most likely not the sensation humans are used to, it is still a negative sensation that should be minimized.
And yet they have the same nociception that higher order animals have. And they have receptors for endogeneous opioids. So, they act like they feel pain, and they have receptors for chemicals whose sole purpose is to dull pain.
Actually, we're unsure whether or not insects feel pain. Many possess opioid/opiate receptors, which would suggest that their body may produce opioids/opiates to nullify pain. In which case, they may in fact feel pain, or else they'd have no reason to have those receptors. Given that, the safer assumption is to assume they do.

poor trolling, mostly.
You know, i had no idea that Avaya made equipment outside of telecom? That looks like a pretty nice piece of kit!

Except juniper virtual chassis doesn't support port mirroring (for now, they're expecting it to take ~9 months to fix).

I remember people laughing that Iran couldn't possibly have done this. But I would assume that this would be exactly how they did do it.

And just like any other soldier wielding a gun, they're going to inflict a ton of collateral damage.
AFAIK tiered pricing doesn't kick in until you've utilized 300GB, at which point you pay 10$ per 50GB.

Considering there are researchers out there who believe flame has actually been circulating since 2007, most likely more than we want to think about.
Especially when you consider that there are signs that flame has been around since 2007. That's one hell of a good run.
Haha, I agree wholeheartedly! I am referring more to the fact that modern music confuses and infuriates us. Both of us detest pop music in general.

There's nothing wrong with it so long as you put a dollar under their pillow. Then it's A-OK.
