1. The NSA didn't know that it could be backdoored when they created it. So there is no backdoor, and the NSA is kicking themselves for that missed opportunity, or for the embarrassment. 2. They knew about it, but intentionally didn't create a backdoor. 3. They knew about it and created a backdoor.
From looking at the algorithm, we cannot possibly know which one is the case. Obviously it would be totally insane to use this algorithm. But that _was_ known for quite some time.
Except for the 10mil paid to RSA in secret and 2005 patent describing use of this algo for _this exact purpose_.
I doubt that. The firmware, maybe, but probably not drivers. Normally the difference between high-priced and low-priced models is that the low-priced models have some internal fuses blown, so that some of the cores are disabled. Sometimes those cores were defective, other times they disable cores just to meet the demand. It could be that they disable the cores with firmware instead of fuses, and somehow the drivers could reenable cores in the latter cases, but my guess is that the people who give the orders simply think of their precious architecture details as information that needs to be kept secret, in case the competition gets too many ideas from those details.
I don't understand why these systems are set up like this, operationally it's not much different from EZ-Pass which works fine with an account based system, putting the value tracking on the cards is just asking for an upgrade treadmill even if it's well designed now, 10 years from now it will be easilly cracked. compare CPU vs GPU/FPGA/ASIC hashing advances
Someone also offers Android app that charges cards using phone buildin NFC. You pay with BTC (yes, bitcoins). Its only available over TOR:) http://zaufanatrzeciastrona.pl/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/screen01.png City has NO technical way of discovering fake cards on the meters, they only stumbled on those cards because City was upgrading older VERY broken Classic cards to never less but still broken model, they did it by offering free exchange program. Some retards tried to turn in FAKE cards:D
All HDDs support ATA security. Its standard, its in hardware and it appears to be secure. ALL HDDs on the marked have those curious "bugs" that let you recover or bypass this password. All by accident Im sure:)
Try asking EA to develop a game where the US masses rise up against the legitimate authority in Washington DC (that takes place in our time) and see how well that goes.
There was a game trailer a year ago that gave me some hope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93-gWrh-MFk unfortunately in the real game its the other way around and you are the bad guy killing brave freedom fighters:(
A better solution would be for Italy to simply lower their taxes until it did NOT make business sense to go through such contortions to avoid them anymore.
Yes, because tragedy of the commons is the best solution!
I know I'm not the first one to point this out here, but seriously, let me repeat this:
HOW CAN ANYBODY THROW AWAY HALF A MILLION TONS OF FOOD WHEN SO MANY HUMAN BEINGS ARE STARVING?
How have we - collectively - come to the point where this sort of things is acceptable? This is completely indecent, and someone in power should be shot over this.
You dont see the big picture - people are starving BECAUSE we overproduce thanks to huge subsidies. Africa was able to feed itself before we started sending cheaper food that destroyed their economy.

Whatever happened to "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters"?
Affirmative action happened. Current owner of /. must employ a a lot of holes.

That must be it, thanks.
Interestingly Namebench opened Internet Explorer on my win8 box.
IE is NOT set as my default browser, Opera is. Is IE hardcoded in namebench?
This made me disable IE altogether :/
... and then stating their high profits?
Okay. Explain. How are they "clearly losing money"? Prove it.
It works exactly the same way AGW does. Reality keeps proving models wrong, so models must be right, right?

Because its expensive to run a lot of data over GSM links in every bus/tram in the city.
We use same system in Poland and recently a group of people (over 900!) got charged with fraud. They werent the ones selling cards, they were the users, and only stupid ones.

and Steam OS machine
why? you want nvidia only piece of shit hardcoded by former nvidia employee?
Also, why was Samsung excluded?
so Intel could win

looks like 3 NTSC cameras, or at best cellphone ones :/
those are most likely bugs, but they can also be used as tools for user browser fingerprinting.

no.
GCHQ, NSA, CIA use contractors all the time.
ARM machines dont have uefi (yet), + some have bootcode inside cpu + some have manufacturer debugging code inside cpu behind crypto handshake
time for eye opener

Hope it gets past the FDA approval...

First they would have to know the phone number of each participant
They already do, havent you real Snowden Leaks? NSA contractors are the biggest Software Defined Radio customers, what do you think they use them for?
>All IMEIs for a given carrier are whitelisted
no they are not, this is why you can but a phone one paypalBay from china and it will work
Yes, this is usual bs. You can reprogram CPU using microcode and do all kinds of crazy things behind users back.
You realize there is a 3D model build in the background, right?
You get nice pictures, simulated walk video AND a 3D model of a place.
