  1. Military Drones on How Dangerous Could a Hacked Robot Possibly Be? · · Score: 1

    There have been a couple instances recently where the Predator drones have been malfunctioning in odd ways. They have programming that when they loose communication with the controller they return automatically to base. These have been running away to less than convenient locations. Either on their own or hijacked they haven't said exactly.

    Couple hellfire and sidewinders could do a hell of a lot of damage.

    Be scared.

    Intel hasn't prevented people from getting what they wanted. People pay for what they want unless the Gov gets involved. I've paid more for both when I wanted something based on the quality.

    You know by this same logic MS should get paid by Redhat because you get a free os which is less than the cost to make it.

    EU is just looking to make a buck and redistribute wealth. Socalists and Facist suck.

    I worry about the freshness of the bean in the evening so in the morning I don't have to worry about pulling out a chem set to dabble with the natural flavor.

  7. BD penetration and Consumer driven content on Ask Sony's Phil Harrison About PS3 and Games · · Score: 1

    How do you plan to effectively compete against the HD-DVD format with out the massive market share of the Adult Industry content? Titles have already began being release in HD but Sony is still not persuing that massive market share.

    With the novice, hobbiest and Grass Root development teams that are occuring with the X-Box 360 / MSFT tools do you still feel that putting the PS3 development tools on an unreachable pedistool for 99% of possible developers (25k USD?) a good move while 360 applications stack up?
    Do you have any plans to change this by enabling more people to develop on the cheap?

    Glad you pointed that out! Why are they crippling the displays that can be used with? Honest consumers suffer for that. I for one am 33. I bought my first TV ever, just 6 months ago, I have however spent extra money on my computer displays to use with my consoles also.
    I know I am not the only person out there like that.

    Mark, Thanks for the additional information. Although I still have some performance doubts, I would have less apprehention if Dmitry watched the news groups. Was the support sufficent? Also in my orig. message I included a link that tested fine, but was removed.. here is it again: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url= /library/en-us/dno2k3ta/html/odc_olsecnotescomaddi ns.asp Outlook Security for 2003 This link outlines the security in the 2003 beta, but that is all still subject to change. How does the solution work with the Ol2000 (and various sp's) and xp? Lot of differences or does he have those wrappered?

    Kj0n your sig points to you! You need to check yourself! Please allow me to enlighten you all on the Monopolistic capabilities of Microsoft. I am a developer of a CRM Web Based Application, and have done extensive r&d on this topic. We need to create an addin for outlook that will synchronize our product with Outlook. Microsoft has (they say due to viruses) implimented an Outlook security model that blocks access to relevant items ie: email addresses, message senders, the address books, from programatic access via the outlook object model api. Any access to these items and more cause a macro security dialog box to popup saying that another potentially harmful application is trying to access Outlook, and requests input from the user. The key here is that outlook has no idea what program is the accessor. Once the user agrees to the action during that action (or time frame that was allowed up to 10 mins) any application can access outlook without further warnings! This completely negates the security in my eyes because any virus can run at that point. Further more, to get to the Monolopy part of this rant, To allow any addin to run with out warning You MUST distribute a security proifile from an Exchange server. They are futher locking it down with 2003 "... with the additional object model blocks that are added in Outlook 2003, there are tasks that independent software vendors (ISV) need to handle, that do not have any simple workarounds. " After talking with Mirosoft the way around this is to learn c/c++ and mapi store programming (and the MS changes to it) to access Outlook from an addin with out exchange and endless Security dialogs. The say that in a non-Exchange enviornment with 2003 they will be "Trusted by default" but with MSCRM I bet that it will change... In the mean time brush up on your c.
