Better yet, my ruler is in inches and centimeters, and yours is only in cm.
I moved from Germany to the USA as a child; switching to imperial, was really annoying. In fact, I refused to do it completely, I still give distances in meters (instead of yards) whenever I can get away with it. And usually use metric when talking to my family.
Look, I don't like Microsoft as much as the next guy (actually, usually much more), but I have to admit, their research is good. I end up reading too many of their papers to be able to say anything else.
I thought Zero-day refered to the first day that a vulnerability is publicly available. Start counting up from there. I've seen it used in every possible way though. Sometimes I gather people are refering to the day the patch was issued. Wikipedia doesn't really clear it up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_day
the asd function should be asd() {
setxkbmap dvorak;
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = BackSpace"
xset r 66 # set "Backspace" to autorepeat }
and just in case you haven't figured it out. u is an alias for ls (which is annoying to type in dvorak, and f is the character that is output if you're in qwerty and you type a dvorak u (left hand index finger), It's aliased to switch to dvorak and then do an ls.
unless you've actually thought about this, and it was obvious. Check on both (Well I did qwerty and dvorak...but same idea)...and I'm an average coumputer scientist, so it shouldn't have a patent.
For crying out loud my computer has the following code in the.bashrc . And the only thing I "stole" was the idea for an alias named asdf and aoeu Guess I shouldn't go to korea.
asd() {
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = BackSpace"
xset r 66 # set "Backspace" to autorepeat }
alias u='ls -Fh --color=tty' alias f='asd ; ls -Fh --color=tty'
Why? It didn't work when I needed it to work. So they fixed that particular problem later? They still lost my trust. Anyway, I don't have to do research before relating my experience with a product. Hopefully my little brother got the message that DRM only restricts things that should be possible from a technical point of view. Maybe my warnings sunk in. I'll be buying something else when I get around to buying an mp3 player, and it sure won't be a zune either.
how about be able to copy the music FROM the ipod back onto a computer (think moving music) while not placing it in the "data" part of memory on the ipod, so that it can actually be played in the meantime. That is a feature that would be very nice, and is only disallowed because of DRM. No technical reason.
...and the person that reverse engineers/has access to and leaks the random number generator/sequence. I'm not sure whether that's an acceptable risk or not. I've been an election judge, I'm not sure I would trust the system not to have leaks...I certainly had enough access that I could have take such a sequence had it been used. Whomever has access to the ballots before the voters use them, can write down the mapping.
I love non-technical limitations built into software. "Why can't I connect this printer?" "Vista is stupid." "Why can't I install the operating system?" "Vista is stupid." Open source all the way. Where the software always works as well as possible (which nowadays is excellent).

well except "free as in freedom" and her good friend, "free as in beer". (At the OS level)

Seems pretty obvious to me.

generally this key is called "forward arrow."
Yeah, Right....I bet they'll GPL java before they allow that to happen. :)
who would actually run that code?
...and the person that reverse engineers/has access to and leaks the random number generator/sequence.

you must be new here. Everything with Microsoft in the title has itsatrap as a tag...it's just standard procedure. has been since tags started.
Yeah, caps is so old school. XML all the way....oh wait...
Wow...that was a silly article.
I've been doing this since I first started using e-mail. pine all the way!

prior art....in a year when they patent that idea and start selling it...we can point to the slashdot comment!
CSRZ-DQPSK CSRZ-DQPSK CSPZ-DQPSK ... I can't even type that string quickly. It'll need a better brand name.
and abolutely no significance to it whether it is true or not.
yet another reason I like the open source approach.
you havn't played bumper cars where I have then. :)
I think you just ran away with the analogy. Come back, there was an interesting discussion going on.
RSA, and MP3 come to mind immediately.
Usually right after I recompile the kernel. :)
