New GSM equipment already supports A5/3 which is still secure. yes and it also supports backward compatibility to communicate with old cellphones and (but need to confirm this) in case of a large number of users the BTS drops the encryption.
everybody wants to go where everybody else already is err no. the big problem is that there is an inbalance between supply and demand in gender in dating websites between 1:3 to 1:10 not in absolute size of a dating database (*). Find a solution to fix that (such as piggybacking on a non dating system, or as a reputational system on a social network, or on an image rating website like hotornot **). In general a technology solution that is not transparent to the user will attract a lot of unix developers but not many pretty girls in their 20s or 30s. (Personal safety is also cited as a concern but thats a different problem).
(*) you're looking for the perfect partner so you don't care if you have 1 million choices or 20 choices, you are only interested in how relevant those are to you.
(**) Also you have to deal with the economic model of virality for dating websites. You want your users to tell their friends about your site.. but probably they are single and their friends are the same gender and if they join the site it will reduce the available pool of opportunities.
I am an entrepreneur and looked at the dating problem, it's big and there is definitively a market for it, but so far haven't seen anything disruptive. -lsw
Still to this day I havent had the luck of finding a greater game than Torment. Still to this day I utter random quotes with some friends such as "I endure and by enduring I grow stronger" (Dak'kon, voiced by one of the x-files guys) and everyone smiles recognizing immediately where it comes from:-)
Plus how could a fantasy roleplaying game voiced by Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpsons) be bad?
the commercial problem was that the Planescape setting was so outrageous and out of the ordinary field of vision of your garden variety D&D fanboy that to some was a bit of a put off and didnt picked it up to begin with.
I dont believe that there is another game that deserves a remake more than this one. I'm sure given the dire finances of Interplay you can pick up the rights of the game pretty easily.
Just some background information. Currently in the UK there isn't a single document to prove that you're a resident and identifies you (a passport does not prove you're a resident, and anyway only a British citizen can obtain a passport).
This means that for many services having a ID could make sense. Any other issue related to privacy, terror etc sits on top of this problem.
Actually..
I have seen a detailed analysis at 22C3 of the Cell and it's impressive. Really, by any means. But the maximum gains will be achieved only after a few years/months after the PS3 is out and not in graphics but in AI, physics simulation. Also it looked very well if you're a blade server user, but you'll have to tweak your apps. It's a multicore and does not care about backward compatibility.
Bottom line is that when the Emotion Engine (PS2 core processor) came out the claims where not substantiated by facts and Sony fudged its way through making hilarious claims (which no one in the mainstream press ridiculed at the time).
PS. There is a patent filed from Sony a few years back that basically says that Cell processor can communicate with each other and share their computing power, like in a room your PS3 can use your PC/PDA/Oven spare cycles to help you frag in better quality. Was hyped by Sony when they annouced the PS3 but havent seen anything in the PS3 at the moment.
But who cares in the end? The only thing that I'm excited about is the Revolution controller!
Any time a leak occurred or someone discovered the backdoor, a new firmware could be issued as a "security fix"
Problem is when a company goes bust or simply discontinue an old product as a result of an acquisition, then upgrades are not necessarily issued (and they are issued only when the press learns about the eploitation of their devices) and the problem stays.
In corporate environments you have networking equipment that can be there for many years (ive seen 10 years old stuff still in place and working) so I dont think IT buyers are gonna be thrilled by this.
let the project be discussed by politicians, artists and fans. Lock all the managers, producers, studio owners etc in a dungeon,
Sounds good, but the politicians tends to listen to those who have a large number of employees (ie music publishers and distributors) rather than what's best for the community. A skillful diplomat should be able to balance his/her needs with the needs of the community as a whole. Don't know why, but the prospect of a EU regulation doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy,
This is guy is genuine like my ass. From his website:
I also have a bad back which prompted my desire to buy an AlphaGrip, so I could sit in the most comfortable position with my laptop and hack away. Anytime, anywhere.
Thanks for sharing, but can the editors please RTF website before posting. thanks.
Fiorina may have been recognized as a genius at Lucent (formerly Bell Labs, the R&D arm of AT&T) but not many people highlighted the fact that she was married to a VP of AT&T.
While it's undeniable that she outshined his career, I am curious if there was a conflict of interest at the time and if she was promoted in that marketing position only for her qualities and not for her connections.
..as clearly documented by this rare archive footage broadcasted on RAI, Italy's state tv. The landing by a Fascist group loyal to Mussolini and was made shortly before WWII to expand to new colonies.
The article states that the main base for D&D wasn't Tolkien, but actually was Jack Vance's Tales of the Dying Earth.
If you read the novels it now looks like someone wrote that book with the D&D player's guide in front of him. All the funny magic items and weird magic system comes from there. While everyone agrees that Tolkien (and his Inklings group of which CS Lewis was also a member) had a great influence on fantasy, in this case it was Vance's fault:-).
PS the article also fails to give credit to Dave Arneson (hope got the name right) as a co-creator.
Could be the case that this product was acquired by another company rather than developed by CSCO? It's my understanding that they buy lotsa startups, so there could be a backdoor in this line of products but not necessarily into everything that CSCO makes.
It could also be possible that the backdoor was inserted a long time ago (before the acquisition?) and then left there, till someone found out.
The European comprtition commission has ruled that women should disclose their API and interoperability secrets to competitors. This should protect innovation, a source said.
a problem is that spammer are nasty and if you're a geek you would do anything to stop them and so on. but what about people who trade copyrighted material? If you're an ip lawyer for the MPAA your position would be to ask comcast to block internet access to those pc (because morals aside, it's illegal in the US).
A major issue in spam is the credit card processing facilities. actually visa and mc have an immense power to stop spammers. they could simply block the processing of credit cards of companies engaging in spam. amex did it for porn and no-one complained.
It's said a lot of embedded engineers regard Linux as "that operating system for pimple-faced computer science nerds dressed in T-shirts they brought at the last 'Star Trek' convention."
Sadly, it's the same idea that many old IT managers still have of Linux and BSD.
Hi, I saw a couple of years ago a Swedish company that was selling modified version of Toshiba laptops. They were done with woods and they came with a bag. I couldn't remember the link or the name of this company (wasn't a Toshiba company, they had just a reselling agreement with Toshiba Sweden).
The options were 4, but they were extremely cool and humongously expensive.
Does anyone from Sweden has more info? (And maybe a nice sister?)

You guys should learn more history from tv.

Probably 100% of the cannabis users in the UK drink alcohol, so why beer is not banned there?
The best quote of the entire article is:

Their website should be http://www.olympia.to/ but there is no mention of this device yet.
Hi,
the main problem is not about full disclosure. All the vendors agreed to release it on monday, and RH didn't wait.
