... since we are allowed to split the lanes in california. at this point there are probably not enough bikes on the road to make a serious dent in a normal use of the apps,...
Why does it seem like a bad idea to mention lane splitting and serious dent in the same post?
Seriously though, lane splitting seems like suicide. How dangerous is it?
One dumb teen who thought he was a DJ would play his scratchy cassette player over the radio and knock everyone else within his broadcast radius.
That's what straight pins shoved through the antenna feed coax and clipped flush with the sheathing are for. Especially if you insert them at a reflection point based on the wavelength.
It only takes a couple minutes to file some notches in brass.
It's even easier than that. There is a tool that looks like a pair of pliers that you put the key blank into, set the depth, and squeeze to cut the key for that pin. The tool is preset with the correct positioning for both the location of the pins and the proper depth of the cuts for that make of car. I know this because I worked as a locksmith for a number of years and used this very technique to open car doors. As long as you have a good view of the key, you can make a good, educated guess about the cuts. It takes a couple of minutes but if it keeps me from having to get inside someone's car door, especially in the winter, then all the better.
But still the question arises: Which would be todays programming language for mainframes.
IBM seems to be focusing on Java as a target mainframe PL. They have dedicated coprocessors called zAPPs designed specifically for running the JVM code.
Personally I work in assembler on IBM z9 mainframes and have for the past 15 years.
You can run apps while your phone is charging. And you can disable incoming calls by turning on airplane mode.
From the description it sounds to me like the game has a hook to detect when the phone is recharging, and it if is, the game will exit. My question is whether the game will run on the iPhone simulator that is part of the SDK. If anyone manages to complete this, I suspect that is how it will be done.
Now all you have to do is talk your target into removing all possible sources of interfering EM from their computer (like the power supply, the screen, etc.) and to pause between each character that they type.
...and if you're using WPA for your WiFi connection if you're near a decent access point,...
Please keep in mind we are talking about iPhone users with yahoo email accounts here. All of that 'find out the WPA key, type it in, get it wrong, type it in again' stuff is so tedious. Especially when there is an access point labelled "Free WIFI" visible without all that annoying security key stuff to deal with. Just connect to that one real quick and check email before the bus/plane/whatever gets here.
I just scanned these articles, but just from the fact I don't see a single occasion to talk about crypto modes, such as ECB,CBC,OFB,CFB,CTR etc., I'm unhappy.
It doesn't? What about the part in TFA that reads:
...This attack requires NO knowledge of the key used for encryption and it applies to ECB Mode (Electronic Codebook), Counter Mode (CM), Galois/Counter Mode (GCM), LRW, XEX, XTS, as well as CBC-based modes of disk encryption applications (OTFE).
I wouldn't get too excited just yet. I have not only read the linked article (which is a real dog's breakfast in both organization and apparently facts), but the articles that it links to and the ones that they link to. I didn't find anything that said Roku will be going open source. The nearest thing I can find is commentary with the word open in it that indicates that they are opening up the box to other content providers.
Roku, the maker of a set-top box used to stream online video on a traditional TV, will open its platform to any content provider over the next few months, says Roku CEO Anthony Wood, speaking at Streaming Media West.
"We're opening up the platform to anyone who wants to put their video service on this box," says Wood. "We're going to release the software developer kit, so anyone can publish any channel, and users can access web content on their TVs."
Jennifer Guevin over at cnet has a decent article that talks about where Roku is really going with this. Keep an eye on Roku's press releases for the real deal if and when it's announced.
probably the same as many other users. Nothing like some free advertising. I've downloaded it and will probably start using it
Ditto for me. I hadn't heard of this before but it looks like it would be worth a try. If it works out well I will be encouraging the other faculty to take it for a trial run.
Does the same apply to the variants that hide the payload as well as who's on either end?
Yes. YMMV depending on your country of residence of course, but in general the fact that a protocol obscures either the participants or the payload is in no way illegal. Or at least it wasn't at the time of this posting. Similarly it isn't illegal to use an anonymous remailer if you so chose or to encrypt your email. The content of the email on the other hand might be illegal if you were threatening someone, for instance.
Netflix download HD movies? I don't think Netflix supports HD movie downloads.
Not to split hairs, but I don't think he actually said that they download their HD movies from netflix. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more.
Eventually, I started using ICE ECC, http://www.ice-graphics.com/ICEECC/IndexE.html, free as in beer, to enhance my DVD backups of stuff like photos and data. IIRC, I tested it's ability to reconstruct missing files and it seemed OK at the time.
Unfortunately this software looks like it is closed source and windows only. A program to apply error correcting codes to your archived files is only useful if you still have a platform to run it on. Hopefully 15 years from now when you go to recover your files you have an old windows machine still available for use.
If you would prefer that we not crawl your site at all we are happy to oblige. Just drop Jim a note to that effect and he will place your site or IP address on our do-not-crawl list. Be sure to be explicit about the site to block as email address domains frequently differ from the site in question.
There's already a mechanism in place for this. It's called robots.txt. A simple

should be sufficient.

My sides hurt from laughing so hard at this one line. You must be new here.

Rolexes are the "I am Rich" iPhone application of watches. Ditto for Mont Blanc pens.
Ditto for me. I hadn't heard of this before but it looks like it would be worth a try. If it works out well I will be encouraging the other faculty to take it for a trial run.
Definitely.
Maybe it's time to up the risk and reduce the reward.

He tried. From TFA
Apparently he just isn't all that good at this computer stuff.
Yes. YMMV depending on your country of residence of course, but in general the fact that a protocol obscures either the participants or the payload is in no way illegal.

Maybe this is what is throwing him off. The word that you are looking for is anthropomorphizing. That's probably why he couldn't find it.
We have that now. At least everything on today's Internet worth saving anyway. In fact, it'll probably fit on a cd.
But does it run Linux?

This Cuil search didn't return any spider traps and I am at a loss as to how the results connect to the search. Just plain weird.
