Sorry, but that's not super fair. If you have been following the stories, Chinese toy makers are now suing Mattel for damaging their reputation. The toys that were recalled were built completely to spec with the designs Mattel gave them. When a toy contains many small magnets that can be swallowed, how can you blame the manufacturers, and not the designers? http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/language_tips/cdaudio/2007-11/06/content_6234061.htm
China can make high quality electronic equipment, and they can also make low quality toys. You can't really blame them for making what they were paid to make.
open platform -> ad block clients can filter content now:-)
I think they are far more interested in knowing where everyone is, where everyone is going, and what everyone is thinking than selling stuff. That information just happens to also be very interesting to advertising firms.
What really scares me about facebook is simply that they know what everyones face looks like. The amount of biometric information that they have direct access to is surely more than that of any three letter agency.
I would argue that the reason that most Japanese people do this is because they think it's funny that white people are trying to learn their language. A good friend of mine that teaches English in Tokyo was telling me that it is often the case that American TV personalities are encouraged to speak with bad American accents, even if they speak perfect Japanese. This goes for newscasters as well as models and actors.
With that said, I have many Japanese friends in the US and Japan who can back me up on this, and I still speak as much Japanese as I can every time I visit:-)
First of all, this is a case where nix is no more protected than windows. I would even claim that these networks were started in nix land in the mid 90s, and ported to windows due to the much larger user base.
Also, the researcher is spidering multiple partitions. When one of the storm researchers gets a new variant with a new key, they extract that key, and then spider that partition. They may not have all of them, but from what I understand they have enough sources that they probably have most of them.
Yes, and free as in schools, police, and fire departments. I get a third taken out of my paycheck, and it is annoying, but I make far more than enough to sustain myself, and I do believe that a country having a high standard of living is better for all of us.
I also believe that the insurance industry is a parasite to the nations economy, but my point still stands:-)
I don't think you are taking into account the fact that you gather stones as the game progresses, and often decisions need to be made based on the number of captured stones currently in your, and your opponent's possession. There is no limit on the number of stones that can be captured during a game, so there is an infinite number of states.
Notice that they say there are 10^60 potential ENDINGS. Go is not like iagno etc where pieces can only be added to the board. In go, pieces are added and removed, in a sort of "tug of war" struggle, and the game only ends when both players decide the game is over. This means that there is an infinite number of paths to get to any given ending. Infinity > alot.
Maybe these spamnets are actually going to prove useful at getting information out there not suitable for mainstream media. I frequently get political spam about various events going on in the falun gong struggle in china. I would much rather be getting some spammer's political political opinion than the usual phish/pennystock/mortgage/penis type spam that I see every day.
Also, I think Joanna was really trying to hammer the point that this was an arms race (much like signature detection vs malware at the moment). For every detection technology, there is an evasive technology to get past it, and the same is true in reverse. Detecting the current ways vrootkits are implemented really doesn't get you much in the long run.
Microsoft's new research operating system "singularity" http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/ runs every process in its own virtual machine. This way, if an attacker breaks your email client, it's MUCH more of a pain in the ass to get to the word documents.
Low on details? The blog pointed to multiple instances of working PoC for every vulnerability it discussed. If you want to know how it works, read the code.
With a black list system, you assume every IP is good, and try to maintain a list of bad ones. From my experience, it is much easier to keep track of every "good" host than it is to keep track of all the "bad" ones.
A large part of security is the mathematics of funneling blame. For every "good" netblock on your list, you can make sure someone is responsible for it, so you can punish them accordingly when something goes wrong. This can't be done if you start off by assuming that every host is to be trusted.
I use azureus and some custom mininova queries to make sure that my TV shows are always delivered in a prompt manner.
That is the problem though. You never know when the new daily show will come out. Sometimes they are released around 9pm (pacific) and sometimes as late as 4am. There are also issues when multiple groups release, or someone does a crappy job with the encoding. Groups also change filenames, making it annoying to maintain a good regex that isnt going to accidentally try to download some new 1.2 TB pack of simpsons rips or something.
I make enough money to pay for a good service, but I have not seen anything (and I am not going to duel boot or something every time I want to watch a tv show). Some sort of DVR style thing would be nice, without having to pay to get a cable line installed. Hell, you could even distribute over bit torrent so the service provider wouldn't need to pay as much to keep the bandwidth up. All that and simultaneous releases with the actual content, and I would be totally sold. I am sure that it will happen eventually, but until then I think my system works fine.
Has anyone seen anything beyond factoring 15 (which happened in 2001)? Sounds like these new groups are just verifying the research done by IBM. The problem is that from the article blurb it sounds like they are still using NMR, which has been old for a while.
Unfortunately many of the new, more scalable QC methods (think dwave etc) are not able to run shor. I think the big holy grail now is building a machine that can scale AND run shor, or to partition shors algorithm so you don't need thousands of qbits to all be entangled with eachother at the same time (dwave can only entangle adjacent qbits on the board last I heard).
Also keep in mind that there is more to QC than just shor. There is a ton we can learn from molecular simulations ranging from weather patterns to new genres of plastic.
Yes, there are people who steal money for a living. I call those people criminals. There are also people who steal money to supplement their income, just because it's so easy to do in areas like that.
Um, the Indian government doesn't care about your credit card numbers and passwords (which is easy enough to pull out of post data, as any decent password harvesting trojan will do). They want forum posts and emails, and anyone who wants to spend that much time (copying and pasting etc) in public doing sketchy shit is going to get caught pretty quick.
The goal is to make fraud slightly harder, so they can put a stop to the people who steal money just as a hobby (which is easy to do in areas like that).
Anyway, criminals can keylog a machine without the help of the police.
Seems like you didn't even read the into paragraph:-)
There is nothing in there that states they they are trying to hide the location of the proxies from the authorities. The point is that everyone knows that proxies exist. I still think it's pretty pointless though. Better to spam with the actual information that is being censored.
It would be nice if there were international standards for best practices of secure data storage in industry that whose mathematical model lined up with a set of internet standards also governed over by various international bodies.
Even if this was done right, the information would still not be "secure". There are implementation issues that will always leave data open. The point is, however, that you would always know who to blame, and could create laws accordingly.
It's possible that your blog was deleted because it was viewed by blogger as promoting "racial hatred". You many many references to the "racist Jews at The New York Times", and you claim that Technocrati blocked you because the founder and CEO is jewish, and it's all part of some zionist plot against you.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's ridiculous that they would delete your blog too, but you shouldn't say that the reason they did it was because you took a hard and verbal stance against the war on drugs/terror.
For those out of the loop, you can still see the google cache of the blog by searching for "holocaustnow".
Open and free like the GPL? The GPL is so full of red tape an legal hassles that it is almost worse than the nvidia or ati licenses. I publish under the "fair license". It's simple and has been tested by the US legal system. The funny thing is that since the fair license is more "free" than the GPL, people writing GPL apps can use my code, but GPL code is totally worthless to me because my apps aren't "GPL compatible". We will never progress in a world where people have a hard time advancing knowledge just because they are bound by legal hassles.
As for mixing computers and religion, I think you would be better off finding Jesus.
I've got a similar theory about Adam and Eve. I have always wondered how many pairs of Adams and Eves god had to go through before he managed to make a set that would think for themselves (and thus be released into the world).

Neat, except, the opposite.
