The IEEE 802.12 standards define the protocol and compatible interconnection of data communication equipment via a repeater-controlled, star-topologyLAN (Local Area Network) using the demand-priority access method. This provides a round-robin arbitration method to provide LAN access based on message priority level.
Speaking of statistics, i'm looking at a mirrordot version of the
apple statistics (due to site being down from the./ effect) and see that Safari is the browser of choice, with a + or - value of 5,059.56%.
So, doesn't that mean that Safari is being used somewhere between 0% usage and 100% usage?
The only thing i can tell for certain from that statistic is that IE6 is used no more than 18.43% of the time (8.26 +/- 10.18), aside from that, the other values all have a +/- of 100% or more.
If you stole a car, why would you want to revert it to its previous paint job? Why not just paint it with normal paint?
The article states "protection and promotional" uses, so legal uses could include advertising (car graphics/attention grabbing colours), or perhaps as a winter protective coating (road sand/salt rock chips, etc).
You're thinking too computerized. As the article says, you don't always attack the door, but a weak side. Even with a computer with a secure password system, if the computer isn't locked in a secure place, someone can steal the hard drive to attack at their leisure.
Anything can be defeated with enough time. In the case of a PIC controlling a lock, you would need to drill to the PIC chip, then tie the solenoid to power or ground (although blowing the safe might be more practical depending on the safe)
It probably would be easy to make that worm. Do you think they would want to discourage it from happening when it makes another reason to stop using p2p?
How else would the kids know they can deflect blame by blaming something else?
A proper corrective measure for these kids should be a 48 hour marathon of every 'positive/inspirational' TV and movie in existence (disney, care bears, etc). That way, since they are so easily influenced, we will have happy, sharing, giving, happy members of society as a result.
THEN they can go to the media and say "its a wonderful life" inspired me to help my community'.
Quick test: Your plane is about to crash. You have 1 minute to escape.
Can you: 1. Find your parachute 2. Properly put it on 3. Open the door 4. Jump in such a way that you don't hit the plane (wing, engine, etc) 5. Pull the cord
Lets say you've never worn a parachute. How much time will you freeze for?
If you have a parachute on the plane itself, there is now only 1 person who is responsible for saving everyone's lives, and that person (being the pilot) would likely have much more training than Joe passenger out for a ride.
If you look at the animation, it shows the one possible earth hit position, but to me, it looks like 2 or 3 of those very near earth positions have the potential to hit the moon (then factor a gravitational swing around the earth...)
Pool anybody? Off the moon, bank off North America, left ocean!
The one I had was a hijacking spyware, so it placed 3 entries in the hosts (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) file constantly (sending browser searches to its own search engine). If i modified it, it was re-written within 2 seconds.
The stupid part about it is that the "app" was loaded even in a safe console mode in windows XP home. Safe mode should mean just that... load nothing! I couldn't even just pop in a normal boot disk because the HDD is NTFS.
The solution was to get an XP CD and go into a recovery console, and start shooting.dll files that were a specific size, AND had random character names, AND happen to have system and hidden attributes.
Spybot Seek & Destroy was able to get rid of the secondary spyware stuff installed.
I think i was try to give it permission to show a single popup. Obviously i screwed up somewhere because the next thing i knew my system had 3 brand new items in the toolbar and it was at the Suspend/Shutdown/Restart windows prompt (But i definately didn't hit alt-F4 at any time)
I can't say for sure it was IE's fault, but i wasn't happy that the web browser allowed either an activeX or auto-installed a program as a result of wanting a popup.
I used to use IE with SP2 up until a few weeks ago. I went to the wrong website and wound up spending a day trying to remove a persistent spyware app off of my system. I had to drop down to a repair CD and physically erase specific DLLs that kept recreating themselves.
You may not have privacy/security concerns, but you start noticing it when your CPU is running 99% on spyware.
I haven't had any problems since switching to firefox.
The biggest things about all of the 'you are going to die' studies is what are the actual odds of getting the negative effects? One in 10? One in 1000?, One million?
Everytime the news says that if you do something you like doing, you increase your risk of such a horrible side effect that even though it would be more likely that you win the lottery, you immediately change your lifestyle to avoid it at all costs.
But put it in perspective. Lets say the odds of getting a harmful side effect from a cell phone is 2%. One statistic pegs driving a car as the leading cause of death for people aged 6 - 27.
Will you put away your cell phone, but contine driving? Everyone knows there are risks driving, but we take it as a reasonable risk because we are aware of the perils involved (bad drivers, weather, etc).
As soon as somebody says that xxxx has a severe side effect, we can't make an informed judgement about it because the media focuses on the horrible death we are all about to receive. Its their job to keep you interested by raising the alarm about evertying

Yeah, you follow your players to another country. I saw a news article showing a team in Russia that is trying to buy a title for $80 million. There's plenty of other players playing in Europe.
I've noticed that most of my friends will pirate the lower quality games and use them occasionally, but when you get into the value-added features such as a strong multiplayer community, they're buying the game on pre-release cash up front.
Same with movies. Piracy on the middle level crap, but extended editions on the gold. Maybe somebody'll notice that quality in ADDITION to an annoying-to-pirate protection is key towards preventing piracy.

i don't know the legality of selling power, but there's nothing that says they can't charge you for the plug access.

Actually, the average computer user is very aware of how big a nuisance spyware is because they don't know how to remove it or to prevent getting it.
It probably would be easy to make that worm. Do you think they would want to discourage it from happening when it makes another reason to stop using p2p?
I remember hearing a car thief sued (successfully) a car owner that put razor blades to cut anyone who tried to steal his stereo.
In this situation where the RIAA is suing people, the keyword is 'countersuit'. Document your repair time should they come knocking at your door.
This type of article also comes up after a kid shooting somebody.
Why doesn't anybody ask 'where did they get the gun?'
-- Guns don't kill people, kids who play video games kill people
is the media.
How else would the kids know they can deflect blame by blaming something else?

That's partially true. I believe the tag ID itself is burned, but some of them allow data to be written (as per this RFID datasheet.
However, it could depend on the type of tag. Some are probably burn once, some are probably re-writable, and some are read-only (tag id only)Is actual data written onto the tags, or is it just an electronic ID that queries a database elsewhere?
