"Quantum encryption is perfectly secure, in theory. In practice, however, there are loopholes.

I mean, FORTY WHOLE PEOPLE, wow! and from where? There are whole countries, and probably regions/states within whatever country they took their 40 people from that I don't believe would follow their conclusions.
Certainly immediately millions of Mini, Beetle (new and old style) and Smart Car owners would disagree.
Glad you posted, I was just checking someone had brought up the OCZ gear.
As soon as I saw the sandisk comment on other sites I was wondering how they'd care to comment about the OCZ SSD's superior performance on the tomshardware test ( http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-hdd-battery,1955.html ). It thoroughly trounces all of the competition.
This was due mostly to the real SATA II controler, rather than a SATA bridge.
Vista is not at fault here, sub par interfaces are, time to use real hardware SanDisk.
Such a striking shame compared to Sandisk being the only company who's Compact Flash cards seem to actually perform DMA transfer properly.
Wish I had mod points today.. TFA did seem a little behind what has actually happened with Viacom/YouTube, veering on the side of inflammation.
It is also unaware of the recent rulings on on the legality of mashup web sites, MediaSentry getting into trouble, the FCC vs Comcast case and several others all beginning to properly protect consumer fair user rights and more.
If anything in the last couple of weeks I've been pleasantly surprised that more and more sensible, rational decisions seem to be being made by the courts, researching the matter properly rather than simply bowing to the case as pushed by those with the most financial power, and vested PR interests.
Maybe it's a late coming karmic shift to fairly balance things again, Jack Thompson's disbarment trial should not be overlooked either.
Yes, the incredible Russian space pencil come to mind.
Though I'm hard pressed to come up with so simple a solution to facilitating age restriction on product sales other than human monitoring, or CC payment only.
Not that I wish to troll the good Dr. Hawking, but is this the first time it's been known that he turned this down, and for those reasons?
Because if so I'm saddened as that means that his stand, has wasted what could have potentially been 10 years of community momentum taking up the issue that he was highlighting then.
I'm sure people were doing what they could anyway, but it seems like it would have been a wasted PR opportunity.
It's a real car, that they have built, a couple of seconds on google found that out.
But my concerns were the same as yours, not that they have plans to produce it, but even for test runs, how strong is the material really? how will it cope with even small bits of grit hitting it at speed?
Probably the biggest reason it *would* never be produced is I would imagine it would completely fail on pedestrian collision tests.
The stones are considerably larger at Stonehenge, and the origin of how the stone itself was brought there was a puzzle in itself.
Avebury is a very special and different place, and those that prefer it don't tend to want to shout about it too much it as they don't want to draw the attention to it, so it stays that way.
This is why I stopped using the official MSN client months ago, and swapped to pidgin, and now mostly Miranda IM (much lower resource use), if it really starts playing up as it's the servers blocking content and not the client then I can use the excellent OTR encryption plugin with those clients.
I got sick of being told something along the lines of 'a network error has occured' when they were actually just blatantly blocking normal URLs for no reason.
Remove http:/// or www. from them and they go through instantly without problem, hundreds of times, put the http:/// back and it's instantly "a network error".
If MS want to block URLs over their system then fine, but don't lie and make people think it's their network configuration/hardware/isp.
BitTorrent Inc. has no more right to state what users or Comcasts rights are than Comcast had the right to retroactively dictate how the bandwidth they sold to consumers should be used in the first place!
I can really see the EFF going "oh, that's fine then, BitTorrent Inc. said it's 'OK' for them to abuse their users"
This was an issue that many users including myself campaigned for a user configurable option, the developers conceeded to an about:config setting, and not a tools -> options menu setting.
So type 'about:config' without quotes into the url bar and hit enter, accept the 'I'll be careful' warning.
Type 'scan' into the search bar at the top and you will then a list of variables to choose from including :
browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
Double click this to change it to false, and then Firefox will no longer force your AV to scan.
This is for those of us who are happy with our AV scanning internet traffic automatically, and also automatically scanning on accessing the file.
It's news because a lot of marketers need it spelled out for them, with big juicy numbers with currency symbols attached, once they start to really realize the financial positives of using the most efficient distribution systems, they might stop trying to shut down just that, a highly efficient distribution system. it's not the personification of piracy.
Slashdot Mirror
So how about Pidgin with the OTR plugin? afaik you can't get more secure than OTR with IM, and it's available for a few different clients.

drat, that removed the less than symbol :(
it should have read :
25 million (child benefit records) + a positive value of X < 25 million?
Since when was :
25 million (child benefit records) + a positive value of X 25 million?
The 'up to' 4 million headline is WAY off.
On windows, most wired NIC drivers will let you set the "Locally Administered Address" which is your MAC address in the devices advanced properties.

There are companies that DON'T treat security vulnerabilities as defects??

It is very cool though, in it's own way.

Clearly in my mind I'm not doing it right.
I only saw this one : http://ve3d.ign.com/videos/play/23773/PC/Speed-Racer
I haven't spoilt anything unless you've been avoiding the trailer, that is all I've seen.
But what made me laugh was the trailer clearly showed he did _NOTHING_ his whole life but think about racing, or practice racing.
So htf did he build the muscles and learn the skills to take out the ninjas they show later? lol
He's not even a pirate ;)
