Well that's another question altogether; however, I imagine it would be good to keep these things up to date. It can be difficult to determine how infection can spread. How can I be 100% certain that some internet enabled machine won't create an issue on the intranet? If I have unpatched machines on the intranet I still consider them as vulnerable.
The summary mentioned HD, which is why I brought it up. That being said, I'd imagine it's possible in certain markets. I get 30/5 at home which I imagine would be able to stomach it (even if not entirely streaming -- partial downloading perhaps?) Which brings up another issue on the Wii, extremely limited hard drive capacity. Fine if you can stream fluently, but significant buffering requirements rule it out. Yet another issue with the Wii would be lack of ability to output Dolby Digital (IIRC anyway). I'd imagine that's an even more pertinent issue for watching film than HD.
If Netflix/MS teamed up on this service with the 360 I think I'd give it a trail run.
Sorry, but I'm a little confused. Wouldn't having more focused sections HELP sell advertising? Maybe it's so hard for the newspapers to sell advertising because they're trying to cater to everyone. Why not pitch tech companies to put their ads in the Tech section -- they'll know who they're advertising to. Similarly, sell the ad space in the Celeb section to a demographic most inclined to read it.
Yes, because the law should obviously cover every possible scenario, in specific, direct from its creation. Really, the goal is to create laws defined enough that they can't be abused and loose enough that they can be interpreted in their spirit to pertain to new situations. This is one of those times when we have a new situation that the spirit of the law needs to be defined for. The system's working as far as I'm concerned.
As someone who falls in this particular age range (and who incidentally owns an iPod, not as if that particular fact is important or anything), this is a load of crap. I'm also disappointed in many of the comments on here slagging everyone in this age range. I'm personally excited about space exploration -- the possibility of new developments, making scientific progress and even just the sheer beauty of outer space commands excitement. I also know that I'm not alone; many of the "kids" my age that I associate with feel exactly the same way. Are we in the majority for our age group? Maybe not -- but when has the majority of anyone ever really cared about and loved space exploration unless something particularly exciting was going on?
You can join regional networks once you're already a member, but you can not sign up through a regional network yet. The drop-down box still only lists: college, high school and work as candidates.
Note that the prices and accessories listed are from Gamestop's website. They are not official in either regard and are likely just placeholder information until we have official details. They're also pricing most of the games at $60 IIRC, even though Nintendo explicitly said their games would remain at the $50 mark.
Except that it's against the terms of use for facebook to use anything other than your real name as your display name. Quoth the change name bullet:
You have to use your real name. Celebrity names, nicknames, and other fake names are not allowed.
The solution seems fairly easy to me -- there's already a number of privacy options for who gets to see what; all that needs to be added is a check box to enable or disable the feed.
Just thinking about a problem an above poster supposed (since we're talking about brute forcing here) -- how can I discern when I've properly gotten from the second created cypher to the first? The deciphered text will still appear as gibberish. The only way I can know*** that I've correctly gotten the keys is to go both levels down to the original plaintext. Now, think about the numbers you've already brought up -- if I need to have both keys to know I've gotten the solution, then I am left with a total of 3.40282367 × 10^38 possible combinations -- the same number of possibilities present in an 128 bit key.
***It's entirely possible that I'm wrong and there is some way to know that I've gotten the proper second ciphered text. If so, I'd appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to enlighten me.:)
A lot of Nintendo DS games. Brain Age, for one, can be played in 15 minute increments. On top of that, closing the DS puts it to "sleep," so you don't even need to wait for a save point in those RPGs.:)
Actually, I'm pretty sure there's both an encrypted an unecrypted version. Once actually inside G-Mail both https:/// and http:/// will work -- and there is a difference; when they first released the messaging inside the webmail page it only worked in the unsecure page.
Not endorsing the theory, necessarily, but I think I can answer your question.
Because if they get you hooked on and using OSX then you will be more likely to *continue* purchasing Mac hardware. If after your first experiment you are still using solely Windows, you may be very likely to go back to putting together your own system or buying from Dell et all.
I understand about making source code available helps in a secure system, but what if that code has evil code...made to look innocent upon inspection....written into it?
I think you've highlighted the point right there. By getting the community to find ways to write code of this fashion, you're simultaneously getting them to learn to read code better (or at least that would be my hope). If I know how to write code in a fashion that looks innocent but brings with it not-so-innocent consequences, then hopefully I know how to tell when someone else is doing the same thing.
Kind of a sign that gameplay > graphics.
While I agree with you, there's something else at work here. From my experience, nostalgia > gameplay > graphics. I'm surprised they're so surprised by the success of offering people games from their childhood or at least younger days.

Umm...browsing, you know, intranet sites? Just a thought.

Not if they're looking to display content in HD it isn't.
A smelly, hippie, self-righteous asshole? ;-)

Are you kidding? Making dupes by this method is way more efficient.

Off-topic, but in case you wanted to know it's Miracle on 34th street. :)
Konami recently announced a DDR game for the Wii that will combine the traditional DDR gameplay with motion controls. IGN article is right here.

Well, if they thought it was some kind of bomb I'd hope they wouldn't be chucking a brick at it to be honest.

Only on slashdot could Godwin's Law be invoked during an astronomy discussion. :)

Don't worry, Nintendo's working on that one, too.

Here's a link a page where you can view the released trailer for the announced Zelda DS game. Can't wait to get my hands on this!
