  1. Re:Jammed on Russians Seek Answers To Central Moscow GPS Anomaly (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes!! Very likely narrow High power RF pulses in a random manner would disrupt a GPs system and show no ill effects other than reduced receiver sensitivity on other types of receivers GPS unlike other communications systems relies on nanosecond pulse timing and such random pulses would harm it and not disrupt other communications that rely only on signals that can be microseconds in error and system still tolerates this error GPs however is ruined by these narrow pulses

    They that is account provider can easily use delays and lockout an account after too many tries. 10 would work nicely. After 10, lockout account for 15 Minutes or more , GPU attack is now dead in water Oh account holder is locked out too? Yeah call that an attack alert feature. The question is how often does this mass attack happen to any one account? .

  7. 600 light years on US Air Force Pays SETI To Check Kepler-22b For Alien Life · · Score: 1

    This planet is 600 light years away,. So if we do hear signals from there, they are 600 years old. Radio as we know it here on earth under 100 years old . So our radio signals haven't even travelled 100 light years from earth yet

  8. Re:why just the kindle? on Amazon Denies Reports That Airport Scanners Ruin Kindle's e-Ink · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily for example if they used fake or Gray /black market parts so prevalent today, they may not have the same resistance to x-ray radiation at the more expensive legitimate parts. Do they even have any engineers on staff who can Identify fake parts ? Do they even test for those ? Major manufacturers and Military have had such problems It would be foolish to think a consumer company cant have even worse problems We also shouldn't assume they used these parts deliberately but who knows ?

  10. Re:Internet? on Hackers Could Open Convicts' Cells In Prisons · · Score: 1

    Yes :but the way I see it The mistake is that the USB stick isn’t unique for every device . Having PLcs USB boot and run in a standard manner is Excellent for development, but carrying that direct to a Mission critical product very bad, Stuxnet wouldn’t likely work if devices weren’t using standards . An easy fix might be to "exclusive OR" every y byte of the USB stick with some number and Format it with a proprietary method , known only to that device

Which is it is it.?

  12. Electric clocks on Power Grid Change May Disrupt Clocks · · Score: 4, Informative

    Most clocks are not electric .Most Run on DC provided by a Crystal oscillator, the line frequency provided by the AC line to run them is irrelevant. only electromechanical electric clocks might be in error

  13. Re:So... what? on University Switches To DC Workstations · · Score: 1

    AC Versus DC proves little , unless we know the Current equivalents , Just because DC tortures the animals is not relevant unless the current passing though them is the same as that of AC , The current that kills with AC wilt also kill with DC , the heart is stopped relative to Current flow, , not whether the Voltage is AC or DC . DC means the AC is rectified and filtered that's all. Either AC or DC can Kill Anything Dead !
