And what if I happen to be a visiting contractor, and I have an emergency while on the grounds, without a guard in line of sight? What if I'm driving by and break down right in front, and the prison microcell is more powerful than ATT's nearest tower?
Then the guards would be alerted to your activities and that "no guard in sight" situation would change. Problem solved.
Anyway, why would they let you into a prison as a contractor with restricted items, unguarded?
If you used a solar cell as a light sensor, it'll deliver just a few milliwatts that you'd have to amplify anyway. With this technology, you could place one of these cells on top of an amplifier, and apply power to the whole thing. It would then give you a reading of ambient light in a more reasonable range (say from 0V to V+), straight from the chip.
This could be useful as a one chip light sensor, say for a digital camera.
It would simplify light sensing equipment a lot, leading to very low prices.
Because there are dishes on the ground perfectly capable of doing that job that don't cost nearly as much.
Actually, there are not many antennas bigger than that one. It is roughly the size of one of these puppies. The only bigger antenna I know of would be the one at the Arecibo observatory.
On the other hand, you're probably right, as the space agencies would now use arrays of little antennas to look out into space.
(That monster must be sensitive as hell, those 70 metre antennas have been used to communicate with far away probes that had problems with their high gain antennas, imagine the sensitivity of one of those just 20000 KM away)
Looks like everyone is thinking they're immune because they run linux, or whatever non windows OS they have. Maybe I'm a little bit sadistic, but has nobody considered that someone might build the USB equivalent of the etherkiller and deploy it mimicking one of those dead drops?
The article mentions that a classroom has not changed for the last century, and Laura Ingalls would instantly recognize one. The article writer seems to consider this some sort of disadvantage, without considering that form should follow function. In other words, a classroom is virtually identical as a 19th century classroom because teaching methods have not changed that much since that time (meaning a teacher telling and showing things to a bunch of students).
Classrooms are clearly adequate for their current purpose, and they will be unless some other way of teaching is found. Instead of changing the classroom, making it inadequate for the current teaching methods, the article writers should concentrate on more efficient teaching methods, and the changes in classroom design will come as soon as the need arises.
And if they comply, you would be proving you are indeed the squatter.
In other words, don't do it and contact a lawyer first. Once you're cleared, you could do it as a token gesture for your company.
The only thing the squatters can do to prevent you from doing the transfer at a later time would be to change the registration. Considering the situation, that would add evidence pointing to the real culprits.
Your company has harmed you, and you'll need a lawyer for counteract that. They crossed a fine line when they suspended you. Of course, they might want to settle and that would be just fine, but it's not a matter of proving your innocence, your company has made a legally dubious move against you. The details, I wouldn't know, as I don't live in Indiana and I'm not a lawyer.
Seriously, you wouldn't hire a lawyer to administer your systems, so why would you get a system administrator for legal work?
Wait, did I missed the part where time machines were something traditional or common or anything like that ?
Seriously, time travel became mainstream and nobody told me ?
What do you mean when time travel became mainstream? Don't you remember the 2460s? Ohhhh. You must be a native!
I thought only time travellers hanged around slashdot these days. Who would have though people from early 2000s would be able to understand the topics raised here. Well, I guess there had to be some real geeks back in these days, too.
Send me an email and I'll reply with the blueprints for my time machine. Just feed it to a 3D replicator and it should make you one in a few minutes.
PS: Mine's a classic, so beware grandfather paradoxes. I can't wait to get a new one like the one we're talking about.
The chips could still be manufactured elsewhere, what is really needed is maintaining the firmware yourself, regulate the source with solid security policies, and flash the chips locally.
If you're serious, you're probably going to manufacture them locally. From wikipedia entry on the NSA:
Its secure government communications work has involved the NSA in numerous technology areas, including the design of specialized communications hardware and software, production of dedicated semiconductors (at the Ft. Meade chip fabrication plant), and advanced cryptography research. The agency contracts with the private sector in the fields of research and equipment.
No only that, it doesn't even have the in-depth articles.
From TFA:
The site, named after one of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's favorite pieces of clothing (silkpajamas.com was taken), won't include the long interviews or in-depth articles found in Playboy.
This has potential, and the guys at google probably know it too.
If they are able to identify whether a song is under copyright, then they can probably identify the song proper. They could soon be deploying some sort of search system that takes some music as input ad gives you its name.
What the GP talked about is there for a reason. If you used UDP in a congested network, you'd probably get lots of packet loss. If you tried implementing your own retransmision algorithm, you'd probably get the same results as TCP with no congestion control algorithm: extremely low throughput, even though you have enough bandwidth.
Just don't do one thing at once and you won't suffer the penalty as hard as you would one connection at a time.
(and I'm not sure about that 40% figure, TCP RENO is probably more efficient, and you're not supposed to connect to the net with something worse than that)
And since the penalty is per connection, the ISP doesn't suffer the way you would. Their pipes probably fill to capacity (or close), provided there's demand.
What are you, another MS shill or just living in a cave?
The MS monopoly is not just Microsoft advertising Microsoft products in other Microsoft products. It's more like "embrace, extend and extinguish".
When Microsoft bundles something, especially if that something is related to a standard, they bundle their own "special" version, which is just incompatible enough. Then the proper standard fails because a large percentage of the users use that "special, not quite standard" version of the protocol/software/whatever.
10 Years after the first browser war, we're still stuck with some "IE6 only" web sites, got it?
There, think that's more on the point now. I wouldn't at all be surprised if some members of the US party in these negotiations isn't secretly crying out "Booyah!" while putting on their "Oh dear, I'm sorry that happened..." face to the lobbyists who give them money.
I'm not so sure, considering most of the leaks appear to have come from the EU. If there were a will to be open about the treaty, I think we would have seen at least a leak from the US legation. Not seing leaks probably means that either there's no or little intention to be open, or while there might be the intention among the grunts, the security is really tight (because probably a big fish does not want the leaks to happen).
While the van might have not been an ambulance, it was clearly unarmed and picking up a wounded man, not "weapons and bodies" as the chopper pilot said. I find it rather difficult to excuse that behaviour.
While the first attack might be reasonably attributed to an error in judgement, the other incidents seen in the video (the pilot wanting the reporter to pick a gun so he can finish him, the attack on the van and the missile attack on the building) are pretty much the action of trigger happy men.
As a minor detail, he really made a mistake when he identified the camera as a RPG, since an RPG-7 has a distinctive shape, unlike the one in the video. That shape might be confused with a M-72, an AT-4 or even a bazooka (a big tube), but hardly with an RPG-7 (a small tube with a big cone in one end). He might have been thinking in other types of RPG, but that is unlikely.

MHz = 1,000,000 hertz, and refers to the clock rate. The clock rate is the number of cycles per second a processor executes. Each cycle is exactly one toggle - either a zero or a one.
Because this is used in the processing of the data, and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with data itself, there is absolutely no way to relate the clock rate to bits or bytes.
These same clocks drive your buses and communication lines. There's your relationship with data. When you download a file at 1 Mbps, you're getting 1000000 bits per second. And that's because there's a 1 Mhz clock somewhere triggering the hardware to put those bits in the wire.
Basically anything based on a clock, like communication lines, use base-10 prefixes.
Okay but will the UDP packets which cause the problem be well formed enough to be routed into your network from outside?
Yes, they will. The packets in question cause problems because they cause a buffer overflow in a parameter sent in the data.
The NIC accepts normal UDP packets for port 664 and then analyses the packets to see whether they use a certain protocol. If that's correct, the NIC responds to the packet itself and the OS never sees it.
The tampered packets trigger a buffer overflow by using a username (in ASF 2.0) that is longer than its maximum allowed length.
So, basically, they are perfectly normal UDP packets.

Option C is included in B. Furthermore, you failed to state which are the genes that do not have to be hashed.
Logic dictates that either option A or B must be true, with bizarre examples using genetics in strange ways, such as yours included in option B.
I guess so.
There probably is some advantage of using an amplifier in that role, but I'm just to green to know.
That's what I meant.
If you used a solar cell as a light sensor, it'll deliver just a few milliwatts that you'd have to amplify anyway.
With this technology, you could place one of these cells on top of an amplifier, and apply power to the whole thing. It would then give you a reading of ambient light in a more reasonable range (say from 0V to V+), straight from the chip.

More like "AND get a lawyer".
