You are assuming the tape you put over the camera is not transparent at IR or UV light frequencies - think of the Sony 'night-vision' cameras that could see through clothes.
You are also assuming the gain of the microphone can't be turned up remotely to hear enough. Some decent signal processing can remove a lot of the underlying noise to recover the what is being said.
Ask yourself too, how many owners are going to keep the TV firmware updated to deal with the inevitable security holes that will be found?
Personally, I think it's not paranoid at all to question the pros and cons of these new 'features', inevitable as they may be.
I RTFA too despite this being contrary to normal/. SOP. He certainly has a way with words and I am impressed with the way he demolished every point they made. It's almost a pity that he is no longer a lawyer.
At the end, my only conclusion is that Monster is to speaker cables what Scientology is to well, anything...
The fact that she is being threatened with jail time suggests that her chosen encryption method is of high quality and she is also smart enough not to leave any obvious clues as to the keys on her PC or surroundings.
Irrespective of what you think about her political views I think the geeks here should acknowledge the skills she has shown in the use of 'real world' encryption.
Then again, perhaps all those '.tc' files really are just random noise after all...
I suggest anyone from NL meet at In de Wildemanhttp://www.indewildeman.nl/indexe.html/. It's close to the central station and has one of the best beer selections in the country (More than 200 sorts of beer at the last count - enough for most people I expect).
Will the US mobile jamming equipment work in Australia? We use a different system to the US. Or is it a simple broadband electronic white-noise generator?
Isn't it about time we updated the/. icon for Microsoft?
Bill Gates has aged a *lot* since the current one was made. I suggest using something like OLD MAN as a base.
It seems like a neat idea until you consider that the 'authorities' will assume that there is a hidden volume (and encrypted data) simply by virtue of using TrueCrypt in the first place.
Then you are faced with proving that there isn't any encrypted real data amongst the random free space...
I would love to work for an Australian company that is doing innovative and original work but they hardly exist anymore. We are now a 'service economy' whatever that is. As a result I spend most of my time working overseas. Not only is the work there (mainly Europe) much more interesting but I earn a lot more than I would at home too. It really saddens me to see a country that calls itself 'the knowledge nation' carrying in in this way.
It's not as if we don't have capable and well educated workers, we do, lots of them in fact. It's just that as a country we seem to have taken the easy road and forgotten that an investment in the future costs money now./Rant Off/
Yup, the vineyard is very small (400 vines) and almost complete. Medicine starts next year if all goes to plan. With a bit of luck I can celebrate graduation with some own-brand wine.
I appreciate what you say about the workload - there's little chance of being bored...:)
I'm in the process of establishing a vineyard and will be studying medicine as of next year. I reckon that covers all my bases in case of a reversal in the IT industry.
You are probably right however the real volume market is on the desktop. The desktop is what drives the user applications and it's user apps sold in bulk that generate major revenues.
It may be just me but I think that Redhat has totally lost the plot since they stopped producing a desktop distribution.
Suse certainly seem to be gaining ground quickly and I think one of the main reasons may be the complete range of products from Suse Personal through to Enterprise and without the restrictive licencing that RH have tried to impose.
It reminds me of a database benchmark I did a long time ago of Ingres against Oracle using a standard test suite. Ingres was much faster in every test. On one test in particular Ingres returned the result set in about 10 minutes. Oracle hadn't returned anything after 48 hours...

Appropriately enough, they are looking to hire a "Director of Security" in their Sydney office.

(Actually, Atlassian make some really good software and it would be a great place to work.)

Good beer and easy to reach from the central station.

I couldn't help noticing that there don't appear to be any female names in TFA.
Is the IT industry really so gender biased? And would Linux be better (less geeky perhaps) if more females were involved?

No no no...
The new scientific name is however Darlius McBridius but I assume this is pure coincidence.
can write FORTRAN in any language... which puts the recent articles about Java and Visual Basic in perspective
Hmmmm....

But who is the market leader now?
