[TSA employees] make your airport visit a little less comfortable [...]
No, they don't make it "a little less comfortable." These are criminal thugs violating my fourth amendment rights in a systematic manner. That's not "less comfortable;" that's a fucking outrage that makes me depressed and sick to my stomach... just reading about it. I stopped flying six years ago, and they've only gotten more cavalier in their abuse of Americans and (the few remaining) foreign visitors since then.
Stop looking at Bank of Whatever and start looking for a local credit union. You're not obligated to help shady corporations generate profit and buy yachts and stadiums.
What!? "Cheers" is a toast! You mean to tell me I've been getting slobbering shitfaced reading your posts, and you haven't even been trying to keep up? =(
So far, we've had policy-makers acting ignorantly (or worse) in response to- (or, in my opinion, in the manufacture and perpetuation of-) "terrorism."
Now we have an example of a directive that seeks to spread ignorance among those of us who have the lowest tolerance for ignorance; i.e., geeks, nerds, scientists, engineers, researchers, students and teachers, et al.
This political mindset gives me the same sickness in my stomach that the DMCA's anti-research/anti-publish provisions caused.
My admiration and thanks go to all of those who've leaked or published their "illegal information," repercussions be damned.
Mr Simmons, asshole or not, appears to have had his rights to free speech violated by the attackers who prevented his website from functioning.
Gimmie a break, Mr. Mnky. Half of the country suffered exposure to this insufferable asshole's mean-spirited rant. Wasn't this Gene Sickens or whatever you call it anticipating a reply? I think that's a reasonable expectation to have when one spews vitriol directed towards the public at large.
From my perspective, the curtailment of free speech began when the FBI arrested a member of the public for allegedly participating in a public dialog that this crotchety old lizard initiated.
The paper I've linked to below shows how non-random screening allows an adversary to probe the screening system for types of people that don't get screened. Next, the adversary takes one of these people that doesn't meet the profile, and asks them to quietly carry a package on board, in exchange for letting their kidnapped grandchild live.
[T]here still hasn't been a better first person shooter than Doom.
Seriously? IMO, Q1 was id's pinnacle achievement, aesthetically and technically, before new FPS features essentially consisted of visceral fluff. Features Q1 added that Doom lacked: useful 3rd dimension, TCP/IP client/server networking, realistic (gradient) lighting, and user modifications (CTF, bots, etc.).
Just a little while before, they had been in the vehicle.
Yeah, ten minutes before. One time I walked across a street, and mere seconds later a bus was moving through the exact spot I was standing! I guess I'm "lucky to be alive," too.
Has Adaptec come up with a *usable* utility to manage these HBA's? Last I'd checked, all they had was arcconf which, if you could find it, sucked even worse than LSI's megacli.
I'm sorry, I have no idea; I want a 6805E but I don't have one yet. I've only used Adaptec's x64 Windows GUI utility with a Supermicro-branded Adaptec 3Gb SAS ZCR adapter. I had no complaints with Adaptec's software; the ZCR card's performance was bad enough to keep me from noticing. The non-RAID LSI U320 and Tekram U160 cards I used before that had firmware-based configuration only.
In what way were Adaptec and LSI's CLI utilities deficient (reliability, lack of control, etc.)?
Well gee, I'll install a shortened crank just as soon as I finish my valve job.
For what purpose? Please elaborate.
Well, when you get done short-stroking, maybe you could explain what you were talking about.
Did I say I was going to short-stroke a disk? I was talking about anyone who buys an Adaptec 6E controller for Hybrid RAID.
The reason I suggested short-stroking the HDDs, is due to the capacity and price/capacity differences between SSDs and HDDs... SSDs and HDDs of equal capacity will likely be either very slow or very expensive. Given that the 6E series is aimed at budget workstations, both of those options are probably not ideal.
Adaptec has a new technology called Hybrid RAID, which uses 50% SSD/50% HDD in RAID 1 or RAID 10. Reads are serviced by the SSD(s) only. It seems to me you might need to short-stroke the HDD in order to make this a reasonable approach.
Furthermore, as far as _0xd0ad's brother knows, he does. I'm curious how self-proclaimed (or brother-proclaimed) "law-abiding" citizens comply with America's secret laws.
How about the cartels? They have submarines now...
The subs used for shipping cocaine only need (and possess) sufficient submersiblity to evade visual and radar detection. A sub that could dive to 6-9km probably wouldn't be cost-effective for cartels to finance/build/operate.
Where I grew up it was even weirder. They would put Ranch Dressing on Pizza. WHAT THE HELL.
Were I grew up, Fuckin' New York, there's a cultural value for properly made pizza, so for me, this thread reads like a list of culinary crimes against humanity. At least you had the insight and decency to recognize the wrongheadedness of the local-variant pizza desecration you witnessed.;^)
Not sure if I'm a big fan of this although the work interesting. I can subversive groups using this proof-of-concept to implement communication networks hidden from the authorities. I could be the next victim in a terrorist attack so I have to refrain any enthusiasm in this regard.
People like you are responsible for the rapid erosion of our civil liberties. Try spending a little more time understanding statistics, probability, and security, and a little less time sounding like a cowardly fucking idiot.
But wouldn't a simple comparative analysis between two distinct sources reveal the frames most likely to contain the watermark, which can then be dropped or replaced with a 'morph' between the previous frame and the next frame?
Dropping/morphing could reveal the locations from which watermarked frames were removed/replaced, which could be used to identify source(s) used. To avoid this, you'd need to be able to distinguish which of the two frames is unmarked; likely possible, but nearly guaranteed with three sources.
Of course if the watermark is encoded in every frame, this is not an option...
If you had two sources that contained full-frame marks on every frame, I think that averaging would produce a cleaned video. However, the presence of a unmarked frame(s) in either source, averaged with another source's corresponding marked frame, would produce a detectably-marked frame(s), identifying one or more of the sources/custodians.

Why would a consumer, knowingly liable for all potential credit card fraud, possess a credit card with a $30k limit that he/she can't afford to cover?
Well, some of technologies are based on BlueTooth, which gives the MAC-48 address.
When someone's tracking me, I send 'em my MAC-11 address. Pizow!
