RTFA: "Olin said interns make about 80 percent of a starting full-time employee. That comes to about $4,600 to $6,000 a month, based on pay of entry-level software engineers. They also receive a housing stipend and relocation costs for the summer."
That's $14-18k per summer, plus housing costs. Not for the whole shebangabang.
A patent troll is a company that offers no products, but files lawsuits based on patents they own. A patent troll microsoft is not. Microsoft has their fair share of crappy patents, but they have never to my knowledge used patents directly against OSS. They've made threats, but anyone can make threats.
It's doubtful they have hard disks from 15 years ago lying around. I'm guessing they transfer all the data they have on hard-disks onto new media every 5-10 years. If it's on an 'external hard drive', it doesn't sound like it's part of the main archive, either, likely just data pulled for researchers or what-have-you.
I agree. And while Microsoft might be able to throw copies of WinXP for very low prices, they can't do this forever. They might try to offer Win7 for very cheap, but eventually profit will win out over market share, and they'll have to raise the price. Meanwhile, Linux will still be around, no matter what MS does. Open Source isn't something that microsoft can marginalize long-term: MS might be able to keep linux out of the low-price sector temporarily, but they will not be able to sustain it.
Wiki always has the answer:
"The C-5 is also known as "FRED" (Fucking Ridiculous Economic/Environmental Disaster) by its crews due to its maintenance/reliability issues and large consumption of fuel. The C-5 requires an average of 16 hours of maintenance for each flight hour based on 1996 data."
This is the first time we've heard about Google (or any others) making a bad block. As long as Google fixes this expediently, I'd say that it's an acceptable margin of error and the amount of phishing sites blocked is by far worth it.
Now, if wikileaks suddenly gets blocked for 'phishing', something is definitely awry.
Because this way, you can do it locally. Let your computer do a few hundred thousand hashes a second, instead of trying to send email to each possible address. Additionally, by attacking the microID, you get extra info about the person (maybe even firstname, lastname, etc).
You refuse to buy Apple products because they use DVD drives that don't accept eco-friendly DVDs found in British newspapers? I don't think Apple is hurting because of your ethical boycott...
This article is completely devoid of any real content. It just says she "cracked it" over and over, not explaining whether a crack is a collision, preimage, or other attack.
It also seems technically inaccurate, saying that SHA-1 'includes' MD5? I know that no one RTFA, but c'mon, at least cover for a crappy article by having a good summary: this story has neither.
That's not possible. The heads would have to be exponentially smaller than they are now because each 'ring' of data would need its own head, but it would have to fit in the current space.
Apple released Darwin under the APSL, which is not GPL comaptible. The difference here is that Solaris code tenatively will be able to be used directly in Linux and other GPL projects, something not possible with Darwin or Solaris currently.
The other reason why it's different from passwords is because alphanumeric one way cryptographic hashes are (relatively) trivial. There is no MD5 equivilant for thumbprints or otherwise. For now, the data itself has to be stored (as parent says), not an independent representation of it.
Windows Vista severly limits access to raw packet sending to non-priviledged apps, meaning that packet forging is much more difficult. Although the zombies that are sending seemingly alright content (at the protocol level) aren't affected, those that are doing the SYN/ACK DDOS floods will be.
You are wrong; you're thinking of the BSD-style licenses. Anything under the GPL (or software that extensively uses GPL-software's interfaces) must have source released if it's released.
That benchmark pits a 2.6ghz Opteron vs a 1.8ghz Core 2. The Core 2 stands up very admirably, and that's the lowest of the Core 2's. I'd love to see it redone with a 2.4 or the 2.9ghz EE.

So that the flash cards, which are generally loaded from a Win/Mac with map data, can easily interoperate?

And the reason it will become trivial? Because of projects like this pushing the state of the art...

CompactFlash cards aren't going to be anywhere near as fast as this, even the high-quality cards. Most top out at 20mb/s.

I think he was refering to iTunes Music Store, which doesn't offer >128kbs songs for sale.
Most of the keypads (at least, the ones I've seen) are powered by a nine-volt and use the wireless. So, you're out of luck there.
When will the editors learn? I about read this on ./ years ago...

Need more be said?
But that's the thing - it's not confined to the institution. Anyone who pays turnitin can use that data.

Google also has audible CAPTCHAs. Probably doesn't work on mobile phones, but they work fine in your browser.
