Mercedes key systems have been comprimised by German students as a rite of passage in many areas.
The TI just actually had a code instead of a straight forward signal transmission.
One time passwords should really be used on key codes. so even if the first time you capture it, the second time you will not.
Here is a patented HIGHLY COMPLEX example:
Key: "Hey kids, what time is it" Car: "Who are you calling kids? punk, it is 3:12 on Grunesday at Octovemberial" Key: "Groovy, erm, I bet I can tell you the number you are thinking, is it... 73489529837598723985729368712631627612876418926812 6873618276861283768126348?" Car: "Wow, hey we do this every morning, can we just get rid of the all this redundant banter? I am trying to read/. through this guys wifi connection" Key: "ZOMG!! Has tod_miller posted anything insightful recently?" Car: "Who?"
Of course, deadbeef would need to be secure, and without actually physically stealing the key (which negates security) you will never know... and it can be different for all keys.
You would need to knwo the time format (and salt), and then capture hundreds of times to try and break the code. and even then you would suck.
Depending on the resolution chosen to for the time (nanosecond?) you would have to capture the original banter, then reproduce it within the same timeframe (sothe date stays the same)
It seems like nothing more than a daisychained micro thin bettery.
For the other cynics - thier site has some photos of it, thier site would cost a lot of design, thier site has a pda section with some japanese text on the photo....
The product is real af far as in the info to the packaging is concerned, as to whether it really really works, I will leave this to science.

The President of America George W Bush is a failed busines man with a criminal record. Renowned for overseeing the most number of executions in his stint as Taxes governot. Advocated more death sentences than any other governor in American history (all 4 pages of it).

Really! It has an XUL interface, a boat load of plugins, all catching up to the 1.0 way of things. I like it.
I tried K-Meleon. Within 5 minutes I had a list as long as my arm of features it needs.
OK, the next is a OT but interesting (hopefuly insightful) rant on the K-Meleon code, I have downloaded the build setup, I might even hack some things into it, I am that fused about it. I love the minimalistic shell over gecko, gecko is beautiful, I could eat gecko on toast, so this minimal shell should be like emacs configurable, you know what I am saying, anyway, rant on:
Does K-Meleon have a plugin framework? It is abysmal at a first install, but it is 0.9 (WHY why use screen real estate with "Layers:" why call tabs layers? Why do I have bookmarks, favourites, hotthigummies, and groups? How do I switch off this annoying mouse gesture thing that I didnt know was on and my tabs (sorry layers) kept switching. WHERE is the middle click load in background?
OK after some time I found some help in configs, but right now I feel the interface is awkwad for my browsing habits, which are very iterative, I spawn masses of tabs, and then whittle through them, sometimes spawning 2-3 tabs per tab I close, until I have exhausted the space of knowledge, I skim read, bookmark, then go back.
I cannot do things linearly, my brain was designed to multi task, and forgets more than 5 things, so tabs should remember where I wanted to go.
WHY can ICONS CHEVRONS?? WHY WHY WHY!!?!? I was thinking, WTF is a bookmark CHEVRON?? A FSCKING ICON!! seriously, did these guys run auto-theasaurize on thier source code?
I mean, you have to actually THINK of new words while programming, why not just keep it simple,and instead of having a Layers: label, PUT a bloody CLOSE mark in thet op right, because NOONE wants to clumbsily DOUBLE click to close a TAB, and ALSO when you close a tab, MOVE right, unless you are arabic, the move left, BECAUSE WE READ LEFT TO RIGHT!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaargh.
What would be nice is to trawl the journey of the truck throughout the day into a video.

I say it is a funky idea, and in the land of GPS enabled cameras, and the amazon 'I found this helpful' system (google needs this on page search results... with accounts etc, yes it can still be screwed over) people will be auto posting GPS encoded info to the amazon site for bonus points of purchases, and free pic hosting.

Where people grow babies which have a minimal 'non-human' component, and then harvest them at certain ages (birth-18) for cosmetic surgery / transplants.
Of course it is legit, because they are animals, not humans, with a little bit of human in them, to make things better for us.
Which side of this coin did the people funding this see?
But get rid of roll up keyboard and have a virtual keyboard overlaid.
It is a touch screen after all...

I think it says - re-read the comment and engage your brain this time.
I will give you the meat of it:
[Java] doesn't use some fluffy brightly coloured play-doh type bits, it uses regular ones, like cpp binaries.
Not:
Unlike cpp binaries, which use bright fluffy ones and zeros, Java uses regular binary...which you decided it meant, because you seem to have your own language. I am not saying your read it wrong, but it wasn't written in first grade frontal-lobotomy language.
CPU cacheing is no different that HDD mirrors of magnetic tape or even buffers on HDD.
The whole storage tree goes from the very registers of the CPU to (usually) HDD via caches and lookup tables and stuff at each step.
I am guessing a HDD cache implementation predates the patent by a way. Why not fight it?
I suppose this is hardware we are talking about, but does seem stupid.
But I suppose if someone from 120 years ago says, hey i have a valid patent on cars and engines! we will all say, what, that is rediculous! must be some prior art somewhere (and probably da vinci has some)
Anyways, you know what I mean, what seems obvious now...
Should big companies make it expensive for other companies to claim thier patent rights? fight in court? I say so, because small companies arent going to be having many patents...
There is a danger of a large company stealing a small companies software idea though...
16 new worms spread today causing widespread destruction and loss of data. 3 people were killed when a safety mechanism running embedded windows was shut down.
Microsoft claimed that they were not eligible for security updates because of licensing, the company state that they were licensed, but it was easier to install from other discs.
The company went on further to say that a car which could kill people would be recalled, and the old time engineering firm said they were amazed that software was allowed to be sold without the measures in place to stop things like this continually happening.
A service will be carried out for the 3 victims in their home town on Wednesday.
The worms continue to wreak havoc, and a company has given a 800 number to call to have DVD's sent to you to install linux, which will recover your data, precious photos and music, and allow you to continue.
In light of this event Rockstar games has given a 100% commitment to bring Gran Theft Auto:Disney World to Linux FIRST before any platform.
Apple also announced a special key to enter to remove the DRM restrictions on itunes, as people with dead MS music players bought linux based open players.... but do people have to die first?
Now write a program in Java. Guess what, Java is not an interpretted language. It doesn't use some fluffy brightly coloured play-doh type bits, it uses regular ones, like cpp binaries.
Java compiled the byte code into executable form. Then it does some on the fly optimisation.
Java VM's can out-perform cpp over n cycles, where n is sufficient to overcome Java start times (seconds)
Secondly, FFT or a DCT in Java or cpp, I haven't seen benchmarks, but there are right and wrong ways to do it in both languages.
Thirdly, Databases, noone said they had to be FAST. Now remember Java isn't slow. Most databases on this earth spend thier time knitting and throwing stupid errors.
A few have to deal with mind-GOOGLING amount of data.
So there you have it, if you want a very nice Java db, try mckoi
http://mckoi.com/database
great support, open source, and works like a charm! I use an IBM DB server remotely, and an embedded mckoi instance for such things as prefs and other niceties. (as well as local work on data)
I agree, this was my thought. They have already proven that the deposits in layers can be caused in a very short time frame with forces of a flood.
The whole wood and fossils thing, and carbon dating, I think carbon dating is wierd. Isn't there old aged carbon just floating around everywhere? How does it stay yound and fresh, so when it gets trapped it gets all old?
What life did it start at to measure its half life (i.e. you know the rate of decay, but you don't KNOW the start point? the element, it might have degraded from a lower element)
I jsut don't get carbon dating, I know it is wrong, so I am poking holes. (even if it is right, it is not even saying if it started as which element, blah blah...)
Not quite catchy, but I love Poland, and I am going there on holiday, and I am going to hug some polish people and cry real tears on thier shoulders, and maybe do the dirty with some fit lesbo polish teens.

Aside from the scepticism, I do not think Sun would do this, and then have a dumb license.
I think an IBMesque license would be offered. I would also say that wait, news is news because it is new.
I am sure lots of work went into OpenSolaris.org and now thier opening of patens of great.
OpenOffice was OpenOffice long before any of these opening of patent folios.
