will contribute to a more efficient delivery method of media content. Will DVD join LaserDisc in obscurity?
No, I don't think so. DVD replaced VHS sort of media. Broadband isn't really comparable with DVD. The penetration rate is marginelly different. There are still plenty of areas that aren't covered by broadband. The cost of owenership is higher, and hey, not all people are computer-friendly!
I think it's fairly easy to implement. The problem is with the computing and memory resourced needed. Since we are dealing with binary data, you'd expect something to genertae 2^n varaitions of data, where (n) is the length of the original file in bits. So, we will be trying to brute force the first file with all possible combinations and try to match a hash function for both.
But now I think (n) doesn't have to be identical!
It might be MUCH more problematic to start from 1-n, and potentially we might try beyond (n), till you get the match!
I totally agree. That's why the ultimate secure way of doing encryption (which nobody does, because it has "0" usability) is to have your text, and get a key that will be used only for once which has the same length as your text. XORing both would do as long as your key won't be used anywhere else!
Nobody (e.g. Abika) will be checking your background unless they have your written approval in order not to get liable for privacy invasions lawsuits. But the thing we suffer from here in the UK, if you're looking for a job and they require your approval to do the security checks, you're just stuck. You either approve it, or you stay home unemployed!
PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish read to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first. (from The Devil's Dictionary)
last year when i was in uni, i decided to take photography course, they canceled it and replaced it with digital photography:-( That was quite depressing for me, cause I delayed the course for four semesters, and then it was canceled!
You might not agree, but I'd have enjoyed traditional photography 10x times more than digital one.
.. has been saying this for ages while talking about Identification and Security, "All the 9/11 terrorists had photo IDs. Some of the IDs were real. Some were fake. Some were real IDs in fake names, bought from a crooked DMV employee in Virginia for $1,000 each. Fake driver's licenses for all fifty states, good enough to fool anyone who isn't paying close attention, are available on the Internet."
So I don't think the new anticipated cards will eliminate the threat. I'm just more concerned about the ways it will be abused!
The only bit that makes me consider switching from Evolution is the RSS browsing capabelities. RSS feeds are my 15 minutes way to find what things I've to read rather than scanning 10 of websites everyday spendings few hours on that. I don't understand why Ximian guys have taken that from Evolution. And now since I'm having a fresh installtion of FC3 on my laptop. Thunderbird is a very strong candidate!
Welcome to Cisco's world. As long as you are a paid customer (and paying well), you will find the answer very easy to your questions. Otherwise, you've got to RTFM!
Also, I've seen this before where Cisco's Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provided custom made software for a customer (they had to pay for that, of course). Which I think is a great thing to have. But I wonder if you have to pay everytime you get an update for that software additional fees for the modificatoins:)
one of the biggest reasons that cisco earn so much in comparison with other vendors is that they have decent support line. As for Open Source projects, usually, they are known by "fix-it-yourself".
Production networks can't tolerate down time, or waiting for few admins to hack some code and fix some buggy router. So that XORP might be open source, but it has to be commercialized as well.
Sometimes those a$$holes ask for such things in order to get better view of your infrastructure and update their sales account with information about you. Let me use a non-technical example here. You own a super store that is specialized in Sports clothing. You have a 5-year contract with Nike to supply you with trainers. The contract is gonna expire in 6 months. Also, you have another contract with Puma to supply you with arm bands. Recently, customers have been complaining about the quality of those arm bands, so you contacted Puma (now imagine that in IT world), Puma sales would ask you if they can send a representitive over to check the stock you've got. They do that not only to check the stock, but to check what other products you've been stocking from competitors, so they can update their accounts and have better picture of the areas they have competiton in, and against what companies.
... The thing is that those "hidden" people stopped using IRC for their "vicious" conversations long time ago. And there have been techniquesdeveloped to maintain some kind of anonymity.
But the problem I'm so much active at night that I just can't sleep and when it comes to mornings.. vision start faiding until 2pm when the lights come back. I do spend continous 48 hours without sleeping and sleep every two days. And I'm still sane. I just wonder for how long!
... which is a workaround being developed for VPNs to go around NAT limitations on VPNs. check the RFC (draft).
But the problem here is that this RFC is being preached to be implemented on NATting devices, like firewalls. So, I wouldn't imagine any "big" firewall vendor to implement another model for P2P:-)
And BTW, m$ have just implemented that for WinXP & Win2K machines!
I don't need anybody to track me, my habbits, my usage of anything, my location, whom I with, or what I'm wearing, spending, or eating!
If you'd see this as "progress", I find it a clear invasion of my privacy, and nobody has the right to track you or your habbits without a "clear" privacy agreement.
Actually there are groups that are working on developing a framework or environment to develop "secure" software using formal methods, and other "scientific" methods for designing and testing software.
The question is "how many people would be interested in using them?"
Not too many, because of the high cost involved in applying such techniques. So, usually you find governemnts more interested in them rathar than civil companies. Governments can afford cost, and the "usuability" issue since "highly" secure systems aren't really developed with "usuability" in mind!
I just hit the top gear trying to have some fun, in the same time there are 1000 other factors that make my worried about getting my skin painted with tar. Would that navigation system save my @ss from other "driven" cars?
Or maybe I can one of these systems on my bike:) But I can imagine how boring that would be.
why doesn't he RELEASE said filters and help the rest of the world out?
Actually he's trying to do that through this project. (They are creating an RFC to have mail authentication using "Microshit" patented methods)
But I doubt we would like to accept:) . It's just market Mr. Gates is predicting money from.
There is no way in today's world to enforce such things since there are 100000000s other ways to take pictures. You might argue that camera phones just make it easy, but in case of companies/labs, it's just impossible. I work for a company that I have singed an NDA not to share my work info. with other third parties, and I honour my contract. But that wouldn't deter me from exposing any info. (in case i had my mind ****** up) either photographed or not. It's just impossible for them!
As for taking photos in public places, HOW ABOUT just covering the flash light? or just break it.
that Evolution people have removed that feature where you can browse for RDF news. I used to read slashdot through that borwser + 10 other websites. Now, I have to go manually and visit each single one of them, and usually i miss some of them. Is anybody aware of a plan to include that feature again in future releases (hopefully the next one:)
i work for a networking bluechip, and here they have been working in a project to clean their code (or code coming from OEM's) from any GPL-kind of code; and if that's not possible they will be marking the code clearly for public as an open source code. the legal department have been pushing this so hard!

this is a great review for what it seems like a great book. i can't understand why it hasn't got that much of interest :O
No, I don't think so. DVD replaced VHS sort of media. Broadband isn't really comparable with DVD. The penetration rate is marginelly different. There are still plenty of areas that aren't covered by broadband. The cost of owenership is higher, and hey, not all people are computer-friendly!
