We need to invest more money into genetic engineering. Then when we want to change our password (fingerprint) we just go get a jab at the doctor and a couple of weeks later our fingers reconfigure and we get new fingerprints. It is perfect.
The problem is one of materials. When we get materials that can tolerate the very high stresses and temperatures from the Brayton cycle then turboelectric generators running at peak efficiency driving an electric power train (just like trains) then will have a competitor. I see current hybrid engines as a bridge technology that is going to make one of the portions inexpensive enough that the other can be developed. Of course fuel cells may become competitive but that is a longer shot I think.
Exactly so their deaths did expose something, and a small step forward was taken. Was their deaths worth the step? Could we have spent enough resources to avoid their deaths? That is what engineers and program managers deal with every time. Maybe we just should not be going into space or doing any of the interesting things that some of us risk our lives doing, but it is just human nature to do them anyway.
It has been mentioned before in both SF and Scientific Literature. It is easier because you have Olympus Mons which takes you WAAAAY up so that you avoid most/all of the little atmosphere that is there. The gravity is obviously less which helps a lot. The problem of the moon getting close to the tether was avoided by sending elevators up and down at calculated intervals to set up a resonance motion therefore making the cable undulate like a string, therefore avoiding the moon altogether.
Typically you can use either more storage or more processing power. It's just that we usually think of it as processing power but in many cryptographic analysis, a database is used to reduce the processing required. Do it once, store it in a database and then use it.
You can download the text files. I am not sure they publish it in PDF. It's good reading, like those old teen novels where you make a decision and got to page so and so. You just have to be careful not to jump to one of those where it takes you to a user space chapter. Then you have to go somewhere else and download even more text files.
If you are using DIFFERENT usb keyboards and mice then you can setup udev to allways give them the same/dev entry. I am not so sure you can do that based on which USB port they get plugged into.
I really agree with the original poster. What does it mean to crack a player? Will people be able to make copies of the movies? How? It would have to be something that disables OHCD and allows unencrypted viewing at high resolutions. I suspect that will be more like a box that you add on the outside that has a connection in that negotiates an encrypted channel and a connection out that goes to your media center unencrypted.
Voila no need to do anything to the player, even bricking it would be silly. It is more or less what people have been doing with VCRs so they can copy movies protected with that annoying messing up of the v-sync.
Of course what will happen is that some of the keys will be used for illegal software players. What they will do is go after the people using the illegal player probably and not do anything to their clients. Rationalize it that way.
Then again they (RIAA/Studios/etc) really are stupid and will force the hardware manufacturers to recall the units or brick them. THAT would be suicide but they have been slowly doing it anyway.
Not really, FAT is still critical for small devices like memory sticks, flash, etc where the fact that FAT is lightweight make a significant difference. The moment you encumber it with patents, then devices like cameras, mp3 players, etc would have to potentially pay microsoft royalties.
Did you do E=MC^2 for that weight or are you using a chemical reaction? It is hard to believe you need that much fuel per kilo. I really don't know much about relativistic physics but the energy input (newtonian) would be E=mv^2/2 so quickly I would say you'd need to convert.5 kilos of mass into pure energy?
Because then the terrorists would have the plans to a critical infrastructure. In the war on terror we have to ALWAYS be mindful of what information we leak to Al-qaeda and its followers. It is a good think they can block disclosure under the PATRIOT act if the liberal courts force the FAA to do this under FOIA. I think the administration is much better at understanding the risks since they have all the information available.
It really does sound arbitrary but I guess it was just 'easy'. They could have gone with the breakdowns used for marketing. That is what corporations use so it would probably be a good 'free' consensus area. Not too small (because they don't want to spend too much money) and not too large (because then it looses all marketing value). Of course that may give them the wrong answer.
Where in the constitution does it say citizen? I believe, our funding father happen to believe in some inalienable obvious rights of the people (see not citizens). Back then of course only landowners, and other notables were citizens of course. Citizens have mainly duties, not so much rights. Their duties are to the people mainly.
Funny thing is that policy of Brazil, scored me an upgrade on an flight to Argentina. The original flight had a stop over in Brazil but since Brazil requires Visas for US visitors they had to put me on a straight flight (Yeah!) and upgrade me to an empty seat in business class (double yeah!) so all this protectionism probably made the whole economy more expensive.
Money that could've gone into making value went into upgrading me. So in a very small way you can see how all this protectionism is bad for the economy.:)
In the US you can bring a lawsuit against anyone you want. If they fail to contest it then you may end up winning a bullshit lawsuit. I think that is what happened in this case. They acknoledged being part of the lawsuit and then quit. That pretty much removed any option for a judge to do anything other than what he/she did. If they had REALLY ignored the lawsuit then the whole thing would've slept until they either quit trying or they found some officer of the company to acknoledge the suit.
During WW2 one of the most protected secrets of the US (besides the bomb) was proximity fused antiaicraft rounds. Essentially they made with electronics of the day a proximity fuse that worked based on radar technology (I believe). The round would then explode as long as it got within certain distance of the plane.
Up until then you would have to guess how far the planes were and set a timer, which was very innacurate, or get lucky and actually impact something.
Nowadays, they do lunch rounds from cannos that can do in-flight trajectory corrections. Kindda like a dumb gravity bomb with a laser guidance hat on it.
Just have a bank of the same capacitors under the station that get charged slower over time. Then the stations is always drawing a much smaller amount. You may still run out of juice and be able to do only a car every 30 minutes or so. But then again that happens from time to time here in Florida before or after a hurricane when everyone saps the underground tanks dry.
Part of the reason they explode is that Li batteries are so sensitive to the charging that the charging controller is part of the battery. Each one of the cells has its own (usually). This is REALLY dangerous technology if things are not being done carefully.
Well, and if that doesn't work they can always bring in the Commerce Clause and use that to justify whatever it is they are trying to do. We are really far from being the United States. They should just do away with the whole States idea and call them Departments.
A lot of the world outside the US uses 220V 60Hz AC power at the outlets. I actually stuck my finger in one when I was much younger. I am not typing this from the neatherworld so I guess it is not 'that' dangerous. Of course this is anecdotal evidence which proves nothing.
Then again there is also the 'intelligent' fuses that do detect a short and quickly disconnect power. I am not sure they would work with DC but hey.

The OLPC is looking at that. Actually that is 'almost' their security frame work.

The comments at the margins are good read too.
It does make sense though. What he published was the source code. Like a book? You wouldn't call publishers releasers would you? :)

I believe he was American. Other than having been born in Korea and looking Korean, I think he was a citizen of the US of A.

Does the trick for me at home. :)

I remember it being 60Hz there. Of course here in the US it is 50Hz.
