You have to wonder how the price of oil is affecting them. Plastics are made from oil, and lately the price for plastics has been climbing...Can't totally blame it on oil, but it doesn't help.
Um, you obviously don't understand how encryption works. It is "encrypted" the second it leaves your computer, it doesn't matter whether or not the connection to your router is secure. Look up public key algorithms for more information. Basically, you give the bank a "public key" and they encrypt a shared key with that information, at which point you initiate a shared key session. An attacker can see this encrypted information, but without the "private key" which stays on your computer, they can't do much with it.
My explanation is a bit simplistic, but you should get the point.
My worst offshore callcenter experience wasn't because the guy on the other line was incomprehensible it was because I couldn't hear him. They were obviously using very crappy VOIP technology and he would just keep on cutting out in the middle of sentences. Furthermore(this might not have been the VOIP but it probably was) I could hardly hear the guy. I turned the volume up on my phone and still couldn't hear him, but when he transferred me to the American call desk I damn near got my ear blown off because it was so loud. If they are going to cut costs on the workers they should at least spring for facilities that actually allow for decent voice quality.
but I only do that so some intelligent person doesn't start heisting my packets and snag my bank account information.
If you are depending on wireless security to keep your bank account information secret then you need a new bank. Packets traveling on the internet aren't all that hard to sniff. Most secure places ASSUME that the medium can be compromised and act accordingly. All good banks use end-to-end security meaning that even if someone can sniff your packets, unless they have some good inside info on cryptanalysis that your bank doesn't have and a few supercomputers sitting around, they won't be getting your information.
Nintendo has released some cryptic remarks about the potential for the release date. Gamers have deduced that it will probably be October 2. I certain hope it does well since Nintendo is one of the top 10 holdings of my Fidelity Asia-Pacific basin mutual fund...
Its funny to keep in mind that a lot of parents of older children(teenagers and above, the kind that get addicted to gaming) who are so over-protective of their children were themselves "flower children" of the 60s and 70s. Protesting the Vietnam war, having lots of anonymous sex and getting high on drugs that they couldn't even name all at the same time. Then they go full force the opposite direction when they became parents....Fascinating
Today's "counter culture" sucks pretty much. I mean, look at the very few songs that protest the Iraq war. For the most part, they...well..suck. They totally lack subtlety and real, human emotion. They are just a bunch of screaming. Now go look at the Vietnam protest songs, I like them better than most music today in any genre.
What the fuck happened?
like the critical but still mysterious process by which each type of human cell is allowed to activate the genes it needs but cannot access the genes used by other types of cell.
Which is why the only games I am looking forward to that will be released this year are all final fantasy ports(well, the one is a remake). Hopefully they will not be as buggy as FF IV advance(on a tangent note, it's interesting to note that it seems much of the programming work was outsourced to China. If you read the credits there are almost as many Chinese names as Japanese...)
No, not really. I'm not a Microsoft basher(not lack of use of a $ or their stock symbol), but Bill Gates has imagined himself a modern day Andrew Carnegie for a while(I recall seeing a program about 10 years ago that featured him talking about how much he admired Carnegie). It's ego-mania in the form of charity, thats all.
Wow, talk about being penny wise and pound foolish. I know this isn't popular here on/., but if you are worried about the cost of matlab, then honestly your organization doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
If you can save time by using Matlab, even in your very unlikely scenario, the extra cost of the software is still dwarfed by the cost of programmers time as well as the potential losses of being 2nd to market. Unless the software is prohibitively expensive(which Matlab isn't), you need to go with what can get the job done the fastest with the fewest errors.

who thought that "Flaw finders" where people who found flaws in Finder? Thats even easier than finding flaws in Microsoft software....
So..... the disease is slashdot then?
