I think if I get it within 2 or three millimeters of the reader it will work. But I never do it that way. I just slap my wallet against the reader. Suggesting that a criminal would do it differently is just silly.
Researchers seem to be able to do it from several feet away...just google for "rfid maximum distance" (or something similar).
Those codes can only be used for one transaction, and have to used in the order they’re generated.
So unlike the traditional magnetic stripe kind of card...and these get skimmed as well, mind you...with this attack you MUST be the next person to use the card's credentials. If not, the attack fails. It's not quite as bad as they make it out to be here.
Ummm....yes it is. Being the next person use the card isn't very difficult if you can do it via an iPhone. The chances of somebody using their card in the ten minutes after you grab their details is very small.
People typically carry their wallets in their back pockets and purses, both of which a hacker can get arbitrarily close to. 5cm is way too much.
Yep, at a Kevin Mitnick conference last year he showed an RFID reader which fit in the palm of your hand (with a wire up the sleeve to the main unit). It worked at more than 5cm, too.
Nope. What says it all is: "The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us"
Lie. Lie, and um Lie.
I'd like to give the authors of that a sniff of pure CO2 to see how odorless it is.
So do Nvidia, Hewlett-Packard , et al have any chance of recovering any money they paid to Rambus
Depends on the exact wording of the agreement they signed... but probably not.
Patent agreements usually start out "we accept that the patent is valid...", I never saw one with an "If this patent turns out to be invalid..." clause.
It's not mentioned in the opener, but the article says it lets water "evaporate" through it. So it's not like you can just pour water on it, and let it drip through.
It says they sealed some water containers with graphene and the water evaporated as if the graphene wasn't there. They didn't heat/boil the tubes, they just let them stand for several days.
It doesn't say what happens if you pour water on it. It might drip...maybe they're waiting for more funding so they can perform such a complex experiment.
How about you type "about:memory" in the URL bar and start sending the results to the devs. I'm sure they can point out what's causing your problem and you'l be helping millions of people.
"I left Firefox open for a couple of days and it used lots of memory" isn't a 'description', it's a nightmare for a developer and will mostly get ignored.
I think he means something more like:
* Open page you suspect causes problems * Wait for mush to happen * Open new tab * Type "about:memory" in the URL bar * Send that to him

There are numerous ways around this problem. It shouldn't stop people from using the technology.
Remember the security motto: "Attacks always get better..."
Why is it "hyperbole" if somebody can drain hundreds of bank accounts wirelessly with a $50 device?
To me that sounds more like "panic stations, block all cards now!!"
Why anybody needs RFID credit cards is beyond me anyway. Is it sooooo hard to swipe a card through a reader?
PS: Why would the CVV number be on the RFID chip? Surely that's the secret only you and the company are supposed to know?
It's a biased op-ed from a right-wing newspaper. To quote Forbes:
Yep, but that doesn't mean it won't be trotted out as gospel truth in every climate debate from here to the end of eternity.
Nope. What says it all is: "The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us"

I'm a bit skeptical, too. They've lost some of their raw comedic edge over the years (judging by the available evidence).
Should they do it though? Definitely.

Whoosh!
Graphene is one of the stiffest known materials.
Unrolling a graphene condom might be a problem but once it's on there you won't need Viagara.

Last I checked, drinking distilled pure water is probably as bad as drinking salt water.
Where did you 'check' that? Maybe you need better sources.
There's loads of people out there who drink nothing but distilled water believing it's healthier - Google "home water distiller" for proof.
Nope. There's a whole load of new-agers out there who drink nothing but distilled water. Google "water distiller" and you'll see.
The secret is that almost all foods have a lot of water in them - with some diets you might not even need to drink extra water!
The water in the food isn't distilled. Some foods even have their own minerals, too...
Maybe a laser scanner to project the text on a wall...
No debt to pay off over the next ten years. I'd recommend that type of wedding to everyone.
Edited to emphasize the important bit.
Have the invite text scroll across it in red LEDs. Awesomer!

Private Manning comes to mind...
I was hoping for a pic of the other side, where the interesting stuff is. It looks like they haven't bothered.

I've played one of my video games in an Imax dome. It's awesome...
Audio equipment is pricey because of the analogue conversion that gets send to the speaker
Don't want to start an audiophile war but I hope you spent more on your speakers than on your amplifier.
Just saying...as somebody who's set up a lot of hifi systems.
"Clearly see" on a youtube video?
Maybe it's just me but I'd prefer a proper framerate displayed...
