Whats needed I think is a way to pass very small chunks of encrypted information from point to point in UDP packets. Literally, text messages, but not sent by sms.
At some point, every company moves to short-term cost reductions instead of focusing on maintaining infrastructure for when things pick up again. The first clue you're in trouble is when they fire smart people because they are too expensive. Then the remainder of the smart people see what's happening and jump ship. The few who remain struggle to keep everything afloat, only to get laid off when the company gets bought/merged.
I am seeing a similar syndrome with the exception that certain people are putting in mechanisms for extracting money from the sinking ship. Kind of a Die Hard situation with money laundering through service providers. Makes for a short hard snap at the end with less annoying lingering I suppose.
I couldn't work out how they cracked the cypher from the translated article. Is it possible they are listening in on the cypher processing as they feed in a challenge?
If you hire anybody outside Software Engineering they are going to expect to run the full Microsoft software stack. Try telling your $500 k/year CFO he will be running Open Office. Not going to happen.
In this day and age it should be possible to run a bit of software inside a box from which it will never escape. Its very simple. No socket connections. No file system access. No shared me memory access. Run it inside a VM then delete the VM. I am not aware of any clean, simple implementations which just do this.
I installed Ubuntu (I think 9.04 or 8.10) on my work machine and proceeded to do some version control hacking which involved creating a very large number of files on ext4. The file system ran out of inodes when about 40% of disk space had been used. I think it may have been partly a configuration issue, but I think it is better if our ancestors (so to speak) can make the fatal mistakes.
I know people who live in Gay Street. The funny bit was when they went on TV to explain why they wanted the name of the street changed. Now years later and seeing the advertisements which google puts on that map page I think they may have had a point.
I agree we are not close to the point where the error margin is small enough for the result to be of any use to us, but we will get there eventually and the equation is of use as a target if nothing else.
Maybe that cert has been compromised by a Chinese insider. Maybe that is why google are so upset with China at the moment. I know that in some corporate environments https is a big issue for IT security. They don't like employees punching through their filters with SSL. China may have a similar attitude and may have been trying to get their hands on the certs for some big companies.
It seems to me you could build a simple device to do that now. Drag it across the page and it pushes up pins on the upper surface where dark colors are detected on the lower surface.
We have been through this before. Many times. Reading the wiki article:
In the original description, the Diffie–Hellman exchange by itself does not provide authentication of the communicating parties and is thus vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. A person in the middle may establish two distinct Diffie–Hellman key exchanges, one with Alice and the other with Bob, effectively masquerading as Alice to Bob, and vice versa, allowing the attacker to decrypt (and read or store) then re-encrypt the messages passed between them. A method to authenticate the communicating parties to each other is generally needed to prevent this type of attack

Does that mean it has two seats? The trainer variant of the F/A-18 is a twin seat aircraft.
Porn and freedom are both seen as bad things from outside. The perception is that if you get one you get the other.
Where does the fear of pornography originate from in China?
Come on, the fear is the same everywhere, even if the response is different.

fscks fast.
I wonder if it is fast enough for my wife to give up her Mac and return to Ubuntu?
The guys they "catch" are so hopeless they were no threat to begin with.
Maybe the terrorists on 9/11 got lucky. They may not have been as hopeless as the recent lot, but they weren't as good as their success might suggest.

Off to work on my resume now.
I have some direct experience of airport security. While it varies a lot from place to place it never relies entirely on RFID.

It's far too late for Google to pull out of China.
So exactly what is google going to do to China now?
I am not sure I want to trust my porn collection to mysql. Postgres possibly. Oracle definitely. But I don't think I can afford that.

Thats true in a way, China's WAN is really a LAN, at least thats how they see it.
I paid on dollar for mine to see Avatar but I expect to be able to use them for future 3D movies.

The Chinese insider could be working anywhere.
I agree we are not close to the point where the error margin is small enough for the result to be of any use to us, but we will get there eventually and the equation is of use as a target if nothing else.
But since we are now accumulating good data to populate the equation (by discovering planets) the Drake Equation may actually be of use to us.
Maybe there is more to it. Maybe that same person had something to gain by knowing the cameras were not working.

And don't think that this technology would ever replace the mouse. You need a mouse for gaming, amongst many things
But touch screens are, in some markets. And aren't there better input devices for gaming? Accelerometers work pretty well for some things.
