I don't think you can argue effectively that it's not economically viable to search for vulnerabilities. Each exploit prevented saves money on rolling out patches, legal liability (earned or otherwise), and reputation. Just because you can't measure these without their actually happening doesn't change the fact that you will save money in the long run by preventing vulnerabilities from being released. It seems to me that by economical is really meant finding the most vulnerabilities for the least investment. So the proper question to ask then becomes what is the best method for economically finding vulnerabilities?
Next they need to add is heads-up display. By projecting this on the window sheild so you can look thoughit it will really help to tell when to turn.
Projecting this onto the windshield would be a bad idea as it would obscure where you have to look out in order to drive. However, if it were coupled with a heads-up that could superimpose the route on the street, indicating where to turn, etc. then I'd put money down on that.
Then we all can use those really dark window tints!!
Check your local and state legislation on window tinting. I think in Indiana 30% is as dark as you can go (tint that allows only 30% of light through). Even then, you never tint the entire front windshield.
... but I'm having to fight a little too hard to find neat things to do with Bluetooth. I made my laptop connecton the net once with my cell phone... but.. uh yeah.
At least you have the option of doing that. I'm still waiting for a CDMA phone with Bluetooth for use on the Sprint network.
And, yes, I know all about the Sony Ericcsson T608 but the reviews aren't all that shining and I'd like a phone with some measure of support.
The supreme irony in all this is that Mill advocated the utilitarian theory of ethics first put forward by Bentham. This states that the morally correct one is whatever creates the greatest amount of good (or alleviates the most suffering) for the greatest numbers of people. In this way censorship almost seems to be the right thing to do since stifling one person saves everyone at the ISP the pain of dealing with it.
(Author's note: as a Kantian I don't agree with this conception. I'm merely acting as Devil's advocate.)
Seems to me a solution lies in the idea of recursive methods in computer programming. There needs to be some stop condition. Perhaps, a counter of sorts that decays with each generation. After a certain number of generations the counter has decayed to the point that the nanomachine's ability to reproduce is switched off.
It seems that detecting RFID detectors would be just as easy if not easier than detecting radar. Assuming the RFID in the license plate is passive then it'll have to be queried by the detector, which should be fairly easy to pick up. Then you can jam the frequency. Of course, I'm not up on the concepts, frequency hopping could be a way around the jamming, but then that makes the RFID tags far more complicated.
Note: I'll go ahead and voice an objection to my jamming proposal. If detectors in the road detect a car passing but no RFID response then the network can alert the guys in the patrol cars to come ask you about that "malfunctioning" license plate.
Purdue will take the money, because he works there. It will be used to build a new scoreboard for the football stadium.
I think the scoreboard is covered by the large numbers of football tickets sold. The elevators in the Math building, however, could use a little re-vamping.
Actually, in the Wired screenshots you see people arrive from askjeves.com in a bus with the askjeves.comlogo on the top. I would immagine/. would look more like that scene in Troy of the 10,000 boats arriving full of angry soldiers.
Ah, smoke signals may be slow but what about the bandwidth of a horse? Give a rider a terabyte of hard drives and see how long it takes him/her to get there. I call it Pony Xpress 802.11P.
Let me guess: you're in the US Army and you are just trying to start this rumor in the hopes that you get relocated out of Iraq to the beautiful beaches of Spain, right?
It's totally pre-emptive in case the Moors try to invade again.
I stopped modding my toys after too many of them became sentient. It's a big hassle when they're always trying to escape or some nefarious government agency is trying to capture them to turn them into a super weapon.
Good point. "p455W0rD" may seem more secure at first because of the numbers thrown in, but any dictionary attack can be trivially modified to try each word with alteration rules such as "4" for "A". May take a few more clock cycles but in security terms it's still woefully inadequate.
Really. No more bio weapons at Fort Whatever? Sure, OK, I'll have to take your word for it. But the location is hardly the point. Call it Fort Secret Bio Lab, we still *are* in the business of developing bio weapons.
The location is rather important to the point. Your argument is that the US is still in the business of making biological weapons. I don't deny this, but you have far from proven your assertion. By making your assertion of a bio-weapons program you have assumed the burden of proof. But your single piece of evidence, as pointed out, is erroneous. Therefore, this is nothing more than conjecture on par with any run of the mill conspiracy theorist.

How about a business karma modifier?

Most mathematicians need all the exercise they can get.
The ones with offices on the ninth floor seem pretty fit.
Can you hear me now?

I hear Kerkhoff spinning in his grave.

Actually, that's an intersting question. I'm thinking of the Turing conception of a computer, but could an abacus satisfy those requirements?

Yeah, those Google people do seem to be stalling quite a bit on the IPO. But that's no reason to take the Lord's name in vain like that! Sheesh...

Since when does "exceedingly liberal"==Communist?
Since Communism is a revolutionary political ideology, it is to the left of liberalism.
