I know that many admins might look at this as seeing a nail while holding a hammer but there is always someone more clever than you or me and if that person or people really wanted to they could probably cause some sort of issue. The Internet is for basic communications if you are trying to run a power grid, water utility or anything that people depend on there is no excuse not to air gap. Why some businesses put mission critical services with in earshot of the Internet I'll never know, I would see that as having highly sensitive company meetings in the local town square during a carnival.
They would need LOS for an up link so as the satellite passes over China unless someone else provides an up link I doubt it would be able to be of any use to anyone.
I will give you an E for effort but seriously this is a bad idea. Think about the fact that once the smell is released it doesn't go away! It will keep spewing out different smells depending on scene but you have to remember the smells will overlap and it will just end up well stinking. If you were physically in farm country you would smell the area then if you made your way to a city it would smell like a city, with this it would just make your room reek like both at the same time.
That has to be the single most twisted comment I've read on/. that actually succeeds on showing the polar ends of these all-day-long shill arguments. I encourage people to read the above AC comment and observe what the commented is saying. Now apply that message when ever pirating, FOSS or closed source software is involved, it really can be set up and defined by the nasty dichotomy above and that is the reason these topics have such low SNR. The apologist bs from both sides is dumbfounding and mind-blowing but overall the parent post is really just an example of what is holding real thought from taking place where otherwise it could flourish.
I can see that there will always be new technologies but how can you compare a line of fiber with over the air communication? Isn't that the reason the last guy got all in a huff? We don't need no stinkin wires! Then they say Wifi is expensive to deploy when you are going to be doing many times more work replacing light fixtures, running data cable to the fixtures and likely some sort of appliance that will bridge the internal network to this type of transmission. Fiber optical cable will always be faster than this tech so bringing it up is just well inappropriate.
Saying 128K should be enough for everybody but giving them 32K doesn't make any sense to me but I'm sure it will work out just fine for ya good luck.
I know it's a cool new toy I'm just saying I don't see how it is much better than WIFI. It's not like you won't have wires and controllers connecting all these lights and since you are going to have to replace your lights to have this work I don't see where the cost savings are going to be. As far as having to run fiber to each desktop maybe for a room of engineers but as far as the other 95% of the employees are going even with an entire floor running thin clients 1 or 10GB Ethernet and a good switch will be able to take care of even fairly large workloads. Even if these things were able to provide fiber speeds which likely they won't they would still need LOS since they are transmitting in the visible spectrum.
I'm not saying the technology is bad but I don't think the implementation of it in an office environment will really help anyone out.
So this solution is somehow more secure than WIFI/RF although you don't mention how. Easier to setup but you would have to buy new adapters for each client and support them rather than the built in WIFI already present in pretty much all mobile devices. On top of it all provides less bandwidth then 802.11b. I admit I'm sold where do I sign?
Maybe I'm just a bit dense but why would you need a 3 or even 10mbps solution like this in a professional setting when I can get better reliability and performance off of a cat3 cable and off the shelf NICs?
Of course only if you decide to touch them but then you realize the ads are always bordering on important UI elements and you end up with AppStore popping up or some page in Safari. Until then though, its just a banner.
But don't forget they made a list before they redistributed without their consent. I'm making my own list right now actually and remember making a list is not just the right thing to do "it's the Law!"
If I make something and you buy it from me how can I tell you after the purchase how to use it? If you bought a game system from me and you knew I wouldn't make any money unless you bought 3 games from me are you in some way obligated to make those additional purchases?
The hack with the tire pressure manipulates the ECU into taking emergency precautions. So sending false values may trick the ECU into thinking you are in a dangerous situation cutting the engine and locking the brakes. This on it's own is a small hack but does open the door to buffer overflows and other common attacks to gain further access into the cars programming. Since many cars manufactured since 2008 or earlier have employed the CAN-BUS protocol which utilizes a type of wireless component, this new protocol is the successor of the ODBC I/II protocol. This could likely open the door to sophisticated attacks to manipulate the cars functions.
This has nothing to do with parts of a car, you already bought the car. You bought the form factor the CPU/GPU, storage, monthly contract for Cell service if applicable. These car analogies have really broken down (no pun intended, well maybe a bit), this really is about what you can hold in your car, your trunk, your glove box, cup holders, etc. It's like saying you can only put Starbucks coffee in the cup holders and Amazon only products in the trunk. Amazon or any current or future app store will not care if your screen cracks, your phone gets dumped in water or you decide to stir up a batch of H3OCL with it. If they can make sure your product will only carry their products that means as your only mode of "transportation" you have to buy their toilet paper, soap and razor blades (only an example). No one cares nor do they want to get into repairing your car, handset or anything else they would rather you just buy a new one.
China is so tight lipped about everything I find it hard to grasp not only someone with authorization to be close enough to snap a shot of it also happened to leak it via the Internet to western media. No one wants anyone to know what they really have in their hand no matter what side your on and they are apparently giving timelines out to everybody to when they will be ready to use this type of tech? This can't be more than cheap propaganda but take it as you see fit.
Something to do with eggs and baskets comes to mind, just because you rent the Limmo you are still the one responsible for the drivers mistakes, etc, etc.
Encrypting your data on the cloud is pretty much a pipe dream in most circumstances. The whole idea of "Cloud Computing" is that you have your data worked on off site and it's not possible to do much processing on raw encrypted data. It's likely you will have to use Apple's CA to encrypt your data and it will be encrypted as far as others on the same "Cloud/process" see it but if anyone with a lawyer came knocking they would pony up the keys right quick. Never mind this opens up a rich playing field for black hats as far as escaping VM's go. Now you know for sure your data will be rubbing elbows with high profile data and if you can exploit that in any way you can have access to the whole bit farm, now that will be a big incentive. Why just hack grandmas computer or maybe get into one company's system when you can grab hundreds or thousands at once?

How do you know if Google is better if you don't try the other guys? Maybe we should call the Flat Earth Society in on this one?

Heh. You don't need to know everyones name on a busy city street to navigate down the sidewalk do you?
It might seem like that for a second but then you read the articles and it all comes back to you ;)
How do you manage getting a beam of light inside a cockpit that opens facing upward? Aside from banking sharply it doesn't make any sense.
Heh we never needed torrents in the 80's.
Actually since Skynet will eventually retain us all I would beg to differ.

Phew, I won't tell anyone if you don't.

Ya that would be a classic, someone gets their hands on some PS3 OS code and Mr McBride is back on track!

So does this mean an average person can download and just write an IOU somewhere?
