The premise of the study being people enter the passwords even if they do not see the image is dumb. That's like saying I buy top of the line RSA encryption but provide other my key or i buy a safe and do not lock it.
If people are stupid enough to enter passwords on public terminals without even using the most primitive security systems they deserved to be robbed. The BOA system is primitive but depends on people using some common sense.
Having said that, I am not big fan on captcha like security systems, install a trojan monitor the images for a month, ship it back to mother ship and lo behold you have a phishing site personalized just for you.
Dig up your signing docs and carefully read them through them. Most tech companies contract states "At Will Employment", i.e. you can leave any time you want, they can let you go anytime they want. This became practice after the bust mainly to prevent ppl from claiming huge severance packages.
Ask the company this could you sue them if they had let you go ?
Not just the drain on the battery power. You have to pay for the KB download for all the ads displayed. Unless the ads are excluded from the KB downloaded to the phone.
Why does a Medical Imaging Specialist look into security of Windows Vista ? That is a complete oxymoron. All computer science personnel cannot be tarred with the same brush. This is the problem of most forum based discussions anybody can post stuff and it gets enough hype if its slashdotted.
Add TcL, OpenGL, Xwin and Xterm, plus most Cygwin files, that McAfee seems to hate. Only solution I have found if you are using McAfee 7.1 enterprise is windows system restore.
SCTP has a feature that lets us set fuzzy levels of reliability based on application needs i.e. a connection will time out after a certain time. This feature however is not fully implemented and if it can be provided for each logical connection then only and then can it be a truly integrated TCP-UDP solution.
This is the biggest myth about SCTP "borrowed features of UDP partial reliability", but the fact that it has not been implemented fully yet is never highlighted upon.
Also SCTP is no improvement over TCP it uses the same congestion control algorithm as TCP, even if people say there is support for multiple streams. All streams are part of 1 logical connection and all the streams share 1 congestion control algorithm!!!!
No study has shown SCTP to be a better alternative than TCP except that it can provide maybe multiple persistent streams oneday within 1 logical connection with seperate congestion windows.
I agree, why would I pay $300 for a pair of speakers from Apple, some people have compared it to Bose. Give me a break there is nothing that even comes close to Bose and if I have to spend $300 on top of a $400 ipod, I might as well go for Bose or Onkyo.
The other apple foray into the living room, "The 500$ Mac Mini", the graphics support it offers, direct from apple's specs "Intel GMA950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory"
64 Megs shared with main memory, it does not even come with a tv tuner card. How does it fit into my living room. might as well build a great PVR box for the 500$ with a AMD core. Else just buy a Xbox 360 atleast it gives me HDTV streaming for far less than 300 Ipod + 300 Speaker+ 600 Mac Mini
Way to go Apple more hype over nothing.!!!
I prefer minimal graphics, with full control on what I load. So, use Fluxbox and add any app you want on top of it.
And if ppl find Fluxbox a little daunting to install, use gentoo and just emerge it.
It also supports KDE and I think they are coming up with Gnome suport as well
Well the classic MVC combined with Observer does the job for most UI designs, especially in terms of web transactions that fall under the Oberver Observable mould.
Java provides a rich set of Observer implementations: java.util.Observer and Java Beans' PropertyChangeListener. If you want to a really good implementation that removes a lot of the deficiencies in the above, use Impresario developed at ArchSynergy and Dr Sandeep Mitra. If you would need details on this let me know.
I agree, the new updated version of TCP/IP Illustrated covers everything from IPv4 to the latest and greatest TCP newReno and Vegas.Combine this with Design and Implementation of FreeBSD and the 2 Unix Systems Programming book from Richard Stevens, you have the most comprehensive book collection on networks. Want a slightly more hands on approach, look at the source code for the TCP stack in FreeBSD.
If you wanted a more general approach pick up any networks book from Kurose, tanenbaum etc.
Now if somebody will write such a book for wireless and 802.11 or Kernel Hacking, I am all ears, till then no more TCP books for me.
I agree, BF2 is nothing compared Medal of Honor Allied Assault or Pacific Front.
For that matter if you want to know what a real PC game is I would look at Diablo II.
Computer Scientists do not grow trees, it is like any other physical science it requires a certain aptitude to study the subject. People who study any science do not do it for their worth in the market, yes that is a concern but not the main reason I would study a subject.
The real dearth in my opinion is mainly in Phd side, not that many ppl are willing to spend 5 yrs doing one. But again its a question of aptitude.
A seminal article was written by Fred Brooks, of the role of computer scientists as "Tool Smiths". As he says computer science is not a science but an engineering, we apply the field to help solve problems in other fields. http://www.cs.unc.edu/~brooks/Toolsmith-CACM.pdf
This is where the field is maturing, and we are in the most exciting period where more and more people are realizing this. Just look at computational biology or physics.
Wait for the surge in another 2-3 years where the field will start hitting its peak!!!
If you configure computer based on the guide. Then you will have to never plug this computer on any network or do surfing. I have seen computers without any Service Packs infected in a matter of sconds after we put win 2000 on it connected to a network.
I used to work for the IT Support division at a college and as many know it is not flush with money. So, we tried pushing off upgrading memory on comps from a 64 to 128 when Win2000 came out. Big mistake, say we did wait then we cannot put any SPs out, so when the viruses started coming out our network went down for a whole 2 wks, till we went and checked out every comp on campus.
These articles that claim a 10 seconds boot time using hibernation, tell me if I keep my comp on all the time, who is going to foot the electricity bills? These articles when read by ignorant bosses down at the Financial HQ, excite to cut our budget even further. Why do you need memory upgrades and PC upgrades, looks by this article its all hogwash.
At startup we have 10megs left over, there is no way with memory leaking a sieve in unpatched windows machines, they can run for even 3-4 hrs without the user going mad.
A plea out to all the people out there, put an advisory on these articles only for the tech savvy and not for cost cutters. And in the end lets get over the fact that tech is mving faster than sound, today we can get 400$ dell with XP to do most tasks that a normal user needs. Why do we need to look at ways to turn back time ?
Here's an article on Extremetech discussing Transparent Anti-Aliasing coming from NVIDIA. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1836786,00.asp
They did a study with a bunch of games and found that the performance benefit is not that great.
So this begs me to ask are these graphics companies solely concentrating on having a great fast GPU that can take these loads. Or are they simply pushing the market to adopt more expensive cards that have these GPUs.
This question seems to be popping up every few weeks, and we have a huge discussion if Linux is better, suited etc
I did a comprehensive study about a year back to see if Linux can push Microsoft out of the office. In the study I compare SuSe, RedHat, Mandarake and a bunch of others. They fell wowefully short in the desktop, a major reason being the UI, it is just too unstable and compared to GUI of Windows and OS X looks shabby. Second, the lack of support, I will stick my neck out and say this, the level of support that is available to Linux is just not there. If I pay RedHat everytime based on their tier system to service my PCs, I might as well go with windows.
However, in the server space Linux is quite competitive, its easy to administer and maintain. I have a built a ton of servers using Linux, but for stability I am kind of partial to Free BSD.
For Linux to break into the Desktop market, it needs a fresh UI. Something, like what Apple did with BSD and packaged it with this Fresh UI. If the UI is stable, fast and looks great, the rest of pieces will fall in place. But before that lets not even have this discussion and just say Linux is a great server OS.
Looks like AMD is going SCO's way. I love AMD chips but the problem with them is they just do not have enough capacity to produce them to keep up with the market demand.
Hence they go and file a lawsuit trying to slow the juggernaut down. Instead of that maybe they should have joined with IBM and used their Fabs. The two bruised "Apples" might actually produce a great new chip.
I think you must enter the halls of a university or look up publication records.
Indian students actually contribute to the research in the states, where will the tech go .

Just one fact contradicts the 30 game argument, PS3 is backwards compatible.With PS2 super cheap they are still making profits with the PS2 games.

Tell me something if AMD has more than enough Fab capacity then why have we still not seen X2 prices drop, the price is almost double that of Intel.6 ,00.asp
4 7,00.asp)
And so you think AMD is hiding its capacity behind some shielded doors ??
If you want some real info before calling ppl names read this http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,182085
And if it had excess capacity why plan for another fab (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,18288

what business can a pet store provide AMD. couple of processors every 5 yrs ??
