FUD, seriously a revoked certificate is just one thing, ya it can be a nuisance but a company just needs to re-issue the certificate. All stories like this is give reason to be afraid and get companies to go out and buy more stuff secure their data and in the end really not do a thing.
No I'm not kidding, your talking about people's failings and not looking at the message. I'm sure there has been mass murders and baby killers who claim what they did was for Alah (if you don't believe it then take a look at this; http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/bless-the-beasts-and-children.htm)
All I'm saying, and I didn't want to make this a religious debate, that when you take a few people, compared to millions of people you don't hear of, to bias your point of view, is only destroying your point not enhancing it. What your doing is equivalent to pointing at a couple of bad apples and making the blanket statement that all apples are bad because of that couple!
Mulroney!? Disliked because of religion?!!! No, I don't believe thats what I said. I was pointing out that he's a political figure who has absolutely no "Values" or I believe, morals, and did what he wanted to do, screw what the people wanted.
It may be impossible that a truly Christian individual be elected since politics and religion are separated more than science and religion are, It's more likely that a Christian would have to do things that counter their beliefs to be in politics, that they would never run.
Are religious people stupid and irrational? No, neither are tech people. It's when both sides don't use the Emotional Intelligence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence that they have, they risk then becoming irrational and at some point stupid.
Well said! Being a Canadian myself (now living in the US) One individual you forgot to mention was Brian Mulroney, one person almost every Canadian hated, having the lowest approval rating of 11%. I believe theirs a lot to be said about religious beliefs. Most Americans (not all) tend to vote for individuals that have core values and beliefs that line up with their own. Considering that values are derived by some form of moral religious up bringing, it's not a surprise at how religion plays such and important part in politics.
Gravity also travels at the speed of C (light in a vacuum), if a gravity wave hits one of the end points of LIGO before the others, their will be a minute shift that would put the laser out of phase and be able to be detected from the interference patterns.
My guess to why we haven't detected Gravity waves as yet is because that gravity is leaked out to other membranes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_(M-Theory).
but i think the story should have gone in a different direction. goddamn abrams and his not-telling-the-audience-anything shenanigans. My thoughts exactly, I felt so let down by this movie when I left. I wasn't even sure what type of movie it was, a Monster Horror flick? sort of, a love story? sort of, did neither of them very well I thought. It felt that most of the action was taking place off camera.
Yes that is a good question. It would appear to me though, that stem cells can reproduce indefinitely, so I wouldn't think that stem cell's don't age the same way somatic cells, I'm not a stem cell expert so I'm not 100% sure.
Wow, I mean just wow. To think that most of the organs can be re-grown or replaced would provide a limited form of immortality, just replace an organ when it wears out and not to fear rejection.
Alright, yes we can try to put what Johnson is doing in terms of chemistry but really what he's doing is creating a plasma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics) there is no chemical interactions to liberate the electron from the hydrogen atom, just voltage and a current. He's just muddying his concept by trying to relate to chemistry rather than physics, which only adds to my BS detector.
Although I believe your right in some respects, what Johnson is doing basically is creating a plasma, which would be utilize in a form of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics method to produce an electrical current. I don't see how he can make the claims he's making tho. MHD methods are still not that efficient, then theirs adding the electrical energy to create the plasma in the first place. And my major was physics and EE, not software engineering.
As an excerpt from his web page states;
"On the high-pressure side of the MEA, hydrogen gas is oxidized resulting in the creation of protons and electrons" Shouldn't that be ionized?
I can see a problem, if you use a sniffer and capture enough packets, should be easy enough to see encrypted session on a single port for a length of time, now add in that true randomness doesn't exist in the computer world unless using radioactive decay or some solution, it should be doable to figure out what ports are being used for the SSH connection. I agree with one reader though, this wouldn't be needed if using best practice methods for passwords, firewalls, IDS/IPS, etc.
During the early '80's all I heard was not to go into programming because computers will soon be able to program themselves. Still waiting for that one to happen...
It pervades IT mostly, some because Cert's at one point were seen as being an expert, which of course really only means an expert at exam taking. IMHO, they're are so many "Paper Cert" individuals out their that they keep perpetuating the Myth, if they didn't, they would be out of a job rather quickly.
I don't see much to be concerned about. "Hacking" them isn't really new, switching UPC stickers has occurred for decades, and as mentioned by another reader, it's considerably small instances.
The best place to put security worries is in the bar-codes offshoot, RFID tags.
Typically if someone comes up with an idea there's a dozen others who have thought of it too, it's the one who goes ahead and makes it/markets it/sells it that usually separates the successful one.

Why is this a surprise?

So what?! Hell, I doubt that the graphics or game play could meet the expectations of todays typical shooters!

I'm wondering if an electromagnetic device could stimulate the fear centers in the brain??

I stand corrected, I sometimes get caught up more with trying to get my idea across than communicating it correctly. And no offense taken.
