..Researchers, Hackers, Authors. Sounds like lots of people are involved, or are they all hackers (since they simply released it in the wild, i wouldn't say researchers)
"A group of researchers has released a tool that they say implements a denial-of-service attack against SSL servers by triggering a huge number of SSL renegotiations, eventually consuming all of the server's resources and making it unavailable. The tool exploits a widely known issue with the way that SSL connections work. The attack tool, released by a group called The Hacker's Choice, is meant to exploit the fact that it takes a lot of server resources to handle SSL handshakes at the beginning of a session, and that if a client or series of clients sends enough session requests to a given server, the server will at some point fail. The condition can be worsened when SSL renegotiation is enabled on a server. SSL renegotiation is used in a number of scenarios, but most commonly when there is a need for a client-side certificate. The authors of the tool say that the attack will work on servers without SSL renegotiation enabled, but with some modifications."
Now tell them theres more ways you can make calculators, like the electronics inside a.. calculator! These electronics also shift and rotate and move, only on such a tiny scale of things we cannot see. But we can make them!
To better make (leave the programming hardware/software difference out of view, its not that interesting for these purposes) these things, we can use a computer (which is also lots of calculators, making colors change and making your mouse move!) to see better what we are doing. So we can type, and.. if done correctly.. it (magically) figures out "a tiny, electronic marble track" in the computer that does what you just typed. The marbles even tell your computer to show a digit on your screen, or the marbles can make noise via the speakers. (if done correctly and the marbles cooperate, it may even be music!):)
Lego technic would do that yes. Also a water runway, or marble track.
First tell them that the complicated things are basically just a bunch of simpler things. Give some tiny, simple examples. Their imagination will do the rest while you do a simple demonstration:
Have them imagine they have to make a lot of sums: 1 + 2 2 + 3 3 + 1 and such.
Now show them how we can visualize that. 1 dot + 2 dots = 3 dots.
Now show them how we can actually make that happen. dot = marble.
We input 1 marble, then input 2 marbles. The output, is 3 marbles. Done.
Now remember (!) them that the complicated things are basically just a bunch of simpler things. This is a such a simple thing. It can do wonders, if you combine them the right way..
Sir, i comment on this comment so it stands out a little bit more over the ignorant comments.
We already know Streetview captured all packets it received, didn't we? It dropped those containing privacy sensitive data. It kept those packets that identify devices. It just so happens not all devices where geo-stationary. Why is this news, again, Slashdot??
I find SmartGit more useful for day-to-day stuff. I have TurtoiseGit installed (and it works) but i never use it. Having the correct icons show up in Explorer is nice though.
Its the PVDA, not the entire government. Its also the PVDA had the latest government disintegrate, by stepping out of the government. It basicly sayed "we are not working anymore" to all its voters. Its mindboggling.
They never had my vote and now they'll never wil. They are almost as ridiculous as the PVV is, biggest difference is the PVDA acts ridiculous by accident.
You're not getting it. Also, two years ago, these would be less useful than now.
The internet evolved enough to allow everyone to "carry their own kiosk", which denies the user a full-fledged local persistent storage. Somewhat like iPad and iPhone, taking the idea to the extreme, allowing web applications to evolve and allow customers to further detach from well known OS vendors (such as Apple, Microsoft) that could sabotage access to Google web applications.
ChromeOS and Chrome and Andriod are here for two reasons: 1) Prevent "vendor lockout". (eliminate dependence on competitor-supplied products) 2) Upgrade client side technology. (allowing a better web application experience)
I'd really want to use Skype, but its no use as nobody i knows does so. Vendor lockout!? Luckely here, the Dutch government has ruled that Dutch telecom companies may NOT charge extra for using instant messaging (or similar) apps on their network.
Its a mess right now, but its likely a free (possibly opensource) alternative will either launch or stand out of the crowd in the years to come.
I am stumped as to why everybody seems to think it can be applied in emulators with the same ease as pixel resamplers where.
If this would be used properly, it should evaluate each bitmap *on its own* before it is part of the screen, and then instead draw the resulting vector image to the screen, ofcourse matching the pixel coordinates. You cannot simply apply this to a any screenshot or video as it would give undesired results most of the time.
I would very much like to see a HD youtube video that shows how this algorithm holds up when processing a Mario World gameplay video, one that shows a.GIF video, and one that shows a normal (but downsampled) outdoor video.
Any argument that this stifles innovation is invalid, if the product is good enough people will gladly share their geo location. I for one will share my location with Google, as long as it promises to not share it with 3th parties.
Soap opera is cheap TV. It only agonizes me. I can't help but think "Ok, but if they'd just tell person X that Y said Z, there wouldn't be any problem to waste 40 minutes on.". Its just boils down to "dumb-decisions-by-weird-people and simple-to-avoid-miscommunication video fiction" if you pardon my bluntness.
Nonsense. I'd like to see more SGU (wait for it..) BECAUSE all the other shows are far to familiar. It pack some good recent ideas (from Firefly, BSG, SG1, SGA, and many many more) into a new series on a new way. I've never seen anything like SGU. They don't have the annoying whispering that BSG had al to much, for example.
If you know of so many shows that is much like SGU was, please do share them. I probably like them.
I know the Slashdot audience would probably trade a few dollars a month if it meant replacing wrestling and ghost-chasing shows with relicensed classics and more appropriate treatment of original content.

What the hell is a major exercise doing within 20 miles of fishing boats?
Ok, I've swung to the other side about WBC. These people are not sincere.
They just want to make headlines, and publicity is the only god that they worship.
They are politicians?
Alcohol would help sales as it increases the chance of making impulse decisions.
The "Eerste Kamer" (senate) in the Netherlands already is transitioning to paperless, using iPads. They say it'll be cost-covering in one year.
Duh?
Has slashdot reset to a different perception of technology?
The youngsters know this, the elders know this. I ask the, who on slashdot does not?
Gateworld.net is down too. FYI:
Also, i do not see what good is in slashdotting them at this time.
Adding to this -
So with marbles you can build calculators.

Lego Technic is the only real Lego! The rest is just small Duplo. :(
You might like Delphi XE2 and FireMonkey.
Fixed that for you:
Sure, but this article complains to what is essentially looking at mail from the postman while walking past on the curb, recording the address

No you are wrong. The sabotage was counter-intelligence, Soviets where spying an US-based company.
Near SF bridge, no?
completely inept lawmakers.
Its the PVDA, not the entire government.

As seen in the 5th Element, you can lose an entire General Munro inside the refrigerator-douchecabine.

Like tabloids. They lack any logic.

I agree. Greetings from the Netherlands.
