I still don't trust lithium-ion for regular uses, the device really needs an onboard controller just to keep them safe. Can't overcharge, voltage spike, drain too far, temp ect. However any device will be happy with Ni-Metal. Ni-Metal has the closest performance next to lithium-ion with the only drawback is weight, nickel is heavy.
I'm sure Intel doesn't want to seperate their processors from this, but a discrete card using Intel's 3d would be a quick buy for many linux users. It's a shame I'd have to get a new system to use any newer gpu, but right now the old ati 8500 still works great with open-source drivers. Someone need to nudge Intel into moving their gpu off the chipset.
Any sandboxed enviroment would have access to both the keyboard with short delays and at least the originating host. With a hidden channel between the keyboard and the running program, keypressed from outside of the sandbox could be sent. Activex, java, flash and possiably other web apps could be used to dump the keyboard contents with much closer timing tollarances, then encrypt and dump to remote host without any indication the user could detect.
Slashdot is a world wide form so I have to ask, what country are you living in? Here in the usa, if I act like an ass towards the police I'm harrassed the maximum allowed by law, at least entertained for a hour or so, and I'd expect it at least. The other hand if the cop is an ass, if I could do something, now I can't even prove it happened? I'd demand nothing less than a termination of all parties involed with this case.
Carry around a HugeAssMagnet? just let me pull that out of my back pocket....
Ok, the best idea is to assume that the harddrive will be recovered if anything left is found, so I encrypt the harddrive. Now where do I put the key? I'm not typeing in some huge pass just cause my server has to reboot. Dynamic ram can be recovers by examining the oxide layer even after the power is pulled, flash of course stays for a long time, and I can't find anywhere that sells an sram key storage device that can be zerolized. If there isn't such a device that can be reasonabley hooked up to the computer... if not anyone have an idea for a microcontroler that has enough computing power to use public key crypto, amtel only sells their secret squirl stuff to well, i guess it's a secret. I know that the tpm module in future systems is suposed to fix all of this, but the master key is wonkey and comes with stuff already on it from factory. (read as big brother) I'm sure that any sized fpga could to wonders, but that's beyond me to figure out, I was planing a mostly copy-n-paste app in c for some micro cause crypto isn't secure till it's stood up to years worth of atemted atacks. I'd be more that happy to place such and experiment in the public, excluding (hate to admit USA exports).

http://..../ grabs a text, small? text file and maybe some pictures. It's even names after what is does, grab text files from somewhere else. Video, audio, flash and other multimedia realy need some new type of link system so I know that lynx isn't going to be happy from the start. Embeding everthing-under-the-sun aproch also limits choices to all but the great people that have enough knowlage to monkey with firefox internaly and is anti-competitive because of this fact. Personaly I'd like to see hyper-multimedia-tranfer-proto:// inplemented in an at least semi-standard way instead of replaceing my browser with a huge flash player (which I'm not about to try and make work for amd64, I already have to have two copies of enough things), or worse yet, an activex who-knows-what. I'm not saying that there isn't a place to put new and intovative media in the public, but convoluting a well working standard to do so just isn't the way.

If secure information is in a room; nothing come in, nothing goes out. He shouldn't have had a personaly owned laptop near the place, much less a harddrive. I've worked in goverment building where, no phone, no radio, no ipod, hell no notepad, and I was checked, not my belongins since I couldn't bring in any. Anything less than a zero tolarance policy will not stop these failures of the goverment.
When I fire up my laptop, its because I'm not at a outlet, or am moving somewhere. The harddrive is the largest battery pull on my old rig. I'm not looking for fast but smart. They should have large caches and 4200 rpm or maybe even lower. An old toshiba from the 80's I've had, used to run for a few hours with power management. I haven't seen that again from these new 'mobile super computers' that is flooding stores. SATA is one of the smart ideas, but they'll all be chasing the benchmark crown for speed.
with forward error correction, latency is less of a problem. Just send the data and if something goes wrong, just fix what is broken from what you have. handshakeing is still a killer, but there are better protocols to get around that.. queue to send and very large buffers.
Bootstraping the compiler first is a must for any security, at least if you don't trust it. if you don't know what your compiler is doing, you don't know much. I'm thankful gentoo makes it much easier that by hand, but cross compiling would almost be a given, so anything that reads the source should work. I'd trust gcc from the original site. I don't know of any "real" crosscompilers that are not opensource. But, the only problem is if it runs wince, I'd ask for my money back.
Most software has at least one mutaly exclusive option, if even just libray version numbers. If it can't be set while it's running your only choice it to compile it yourself leading it to be something to know. I personaly haven't seen a real performace boost worth the time it takes to leave the beaten path of precompiled binaries. I'm sure it's there but i don't belive it realy worth the trouble. Both Amd and Intel design their architetures to preform well with backwards compatiablity. Licensing problems with distribution is can be gotten around with source only distribution since gpl allows you to do about anything if you not redistributing such as linux multi-media apps are plagued by patents. I'd know how to do it, but leave it as a last option
I guess paranoia sell product, 'In every one of your applications'. Not everyone uses closed source, and any administrator that hardcodes in passwords should be fired. No new bit of technology is going to help you, if all you use it crap.
Security doens't mater which buzz words you stick with it. Just becase todays cameras are digital doesn't mean anything, 20 years ago McDonalds had a 28mm the size of the film roll in there happy meal box, right next to there secret decoder rings. Recordables of any type can't be allowed near sensitive materials.
how much does battlebots pay out? also monstergarage gives out a full set of mac tools for each winner with some other assorted stuff. doen't nasa have a larger budget?
wasn't something put in with the patriot-act that dumped money in the fbi for a huge database overhall. something to enable crosschecks between agencies. if i'm not wrong, what else are they in need of updating?
powers of 2 is the magic numbers for binary computer so wouldn't 4 or sixteen be needed in practical terms to be able to do proper addressing? if logic could be coupled to qbits wouldn't 4qbit in mass paralle be workable in the labs shortly?

If only I had mod points. Everyone has seen what Micro$ofts intconnectivity does, and if dotnet moves to all three... bingo.

only 50/50 of the kittens drown, the other half just sink.

does this mean there will finaly be some mobo come out for 64 that don't cost an arm and a leg?
