"The study attempted to control for this by telling one of the three groups that the purpose of the study was to test security awareness."
Exactly. That is my point, the people knew_they_were_part_of_a_study, and may have reacted differently to how they would normally.
I recall reading about a study (here on/. I think) where people were required to inflict pain on another person whom they could hear in the other room, when that person did not achieve what was required. It was determined that because the person knew they were part of a study/experiment, they would inflict far more pain than they would normally - especially when told 'continue' by the program supervisor. Even after the 'actor' in the other room was in extreme pain, and exhibiting the audible characteristics of dying.
>>>"In my experience with the technology, websites do not adequately explain what it is you're doing and why"
I'm a B of A customer, and I thought it was made pretty clear about how the sitekey worked - so did my wife (as non-technical as she is). If people are not seeing their site-key and continuing with the 'experiment', perhaps the experiment was flawed. (The people may have felt they should continue even though the sitekey was not present, as they wanted the experiment to succeed.)
Also, I don't think I'd be logging into my BofA account on someones strange computer that was 'set-up' for me... fear of keyloggers and all that.
Sounds like someone is really starting at the wrong end. IMHO.
I'd estimate that power supply inefficiency chews up more than this proposal will ever save. If you spent your time making the power supplies of PC's, Switches, routers more efficient you'd probably have a greater impact. How about better efficiency in the FET's, transistors and amplifier circuitry? Last time I checked, my Ethernet looms didn't get that hot. (isn't it all about "(i^2).R"?. Heck turning off the light in the switch room probably does more to save power. Plus all the heat im my server room is from the servers, not the Ethernet. If your that worried, switch to fiber.
I thought the transfer of data at the physical layer was through the transfer of 'holes' anyway.
Where I work we are required to give three months notice.
This leads to what I like to refer to as the 'abusive relationship situation'. This is where once an employee gives notice their life is made HELL until they are out. The abuse comes from peers and all levels of management. Peers think you are a traitor for leaving them with the workload and having to train up someone new, and management resent you for leaving, prolly 'cos they never had the guts to.
The situation is so bad that some employee's accumulate as much PTO (Paid time off) as they can, so they can submit their resignation and be on PTO up to their terminal date.
It is really sad that we don't celebrate our colleagues perusing their ventures, like we should.
If net access were like insurance.... Linux machines would also be expenive because they are 'harder to fix' and there is 'less availability of repair points' and 'we only support windows'...
You'd end up in an argument about them only allowing windows machines on the net, but they say they're expensive because they're the ones infested with bots.
If net access were like insurance i'd have none, just like the rest of the poor people.

It seems muslix64 just had a snapshot of the entire.exe running in memory, then used selective keying - serially trying bytes 1-4, then 2-5, 3-6 etc as the keys until the mpeg frame decrypted. (which, of course this is much faster than a pure brute force attack, and took only seconds).
So as long as a software player has the key in the clear and is loaded in memory 'somewhere', this type of attack will continue to work.
AACS is still 'unbroken' but like many failed encryption schemes, it was circumvented due to poor implementation.
The spacecraft's high-resolution camera, called "LROC," short for Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, has a resolution of about half a meter. That means that a half-meter square on the Moon's surface would fill a single pixel in its digital images.
Apollo moon buggies are about 2 meters wide and 3 meters long. So in the LROC images, those abandoned vehicles will fill about 4 by 6 pixels.
WTF? Four to Six Pixels!!???? That is about the size of ---} ' {---- that black thing there!! I want an up close shot with the front of the Chicago times from launch day!

Exactly. Considering other ISP's are selling off their rural subsidiaries to focus on the city's, I think Google buying it up is just fine. Google have a good reputation for providing services to users for free, and we might see some real competition in the market.

No I don't. I see this technology as a great way of getting money out of teenagers who don't think too hard about sharing something they thought they owned. (or were bullied/peer pressured into sharing it.)
Then, its a great way to sue the parents, and if they don't have any money the **AA van place the child into custody of the court so they can be sued properly.

Not selling the cards directly, just the revinue from the 'Trusted driver' scheme.
