It could be a total dog of an article, and I will still stop by and check the comments because frequently there is at least one person who knows more about the subject matter than I do, and I might learn something humorous, if not interesting or educational.
Please clarify something for me - what media sources do you want your display device (with 'native, built-in support that doesn't require me to run a server agent on another box') to connect to? Pretty much any arrangement of video source/dest is going to require a server agent of some kind (to set up the stream if nothing else) on the source device, or it requires local support for some kind of file system (hence the suggestion about a set-top box with a USB port I think).
Not trolling, just curious what you have in mind. I think I don't understand what you are looking for.
Unless he was using VHDL, in which case he's fine. Well, until it turns out that the type of 'Regulations' and the type of 'safety' aren't the same and he ends up having to do something like std_logic_vector(TO_UNSIGNED(Regulations,64)) = safety.
I think the point is that this method doesn't actually prevent any of the breaches that best practices (salting, using a strong hash alg, etc) protect against; rather it provides early warning that your best practices failed. If any one of your honeypot passwords get used, immediately shut everything down ala Madagascar then find and fix the hole the hackers used.
For the sake of anecdotal breadth I will volunteer that I know two married couples, one in the 30-35 age bracket and another in the 50-55 age bracket, who both play a lot of WoW. You may not consider WoW to be 'hardcore' gaming, but they do spend a lot of time doing it and one of the reasons that works for those couples is that both people enjoy logging those hours.
I think you're right, in fact its been my experience that most modern cookers are designed so the gasket between the lid and the pot will give way and leak pressure pretty much every time you use it. They've also been redesigned so you can't lose the little weight that sits on top, but that means that you a) don't get the "chukka chukka" noise and b) they are messier and harder to clean.
I was sleeping in my bunk. Woke up, slid down to the computer desk underneath said bunk and almost immediately got an IM (on AIM, since thats what all the cool kids were using at that point) to the effect of 'the world is ending.' Got the TV card in my computer working in time to see plane #2 hit.
Some of my classes were like this, and it was astounding how many people at the '500' level (at my U they were 4000 or 5000-level classes, I think we both mean 'final year, pinnacle of your education' classes) were completely worthless at their chosen major. I couldn't believe some of those people had not been flunked out of the program before getting that far along.
The other issue though is that when you hit those senior-level courses is that group projects start showing up, where each person really needs to pull their weight for it to work out. Or all of the work gets dumped on the one person who doesn't want to fail and the slackers still skate through...
From the article: thunderstorms unleash sprays of X-rays and even intense bursts of gamma rays
From http://science.howstuffworks.com/radiation3.htm: Beta particles can be stopped or reduced by a layer of clothing or a substance like aluminum.... Gamma rays often accompany alpha and beta particles. Unlike alpha and beta particles, they are extremely penetrating. In fact, several inches of lead or even a few feet of concrete are required to stop gamma rays.... X-rays... aren't quite as penetrating as gamma rays, and just a few millimeters of lead can stop them
On top of that, the aluminum body of an airplane has *lots* of holes in it (windows, control avionics, etc).
billions and billions of FPGAs have been sold, over the last 30 years, for just about every computing application one could name
Yes, BUT they have not all been sold as part of a standard board design (eg ATX,...) for use in part of a standard system (desktop, laptop) with a set of standard IO (USB, ethernet, etc), running a specific instruction set (x86, etc). And I guarantee you that they have not all been able to run the same bit file, which is the analogous part of the system to the software that the discussion is about.
Yup, whups... I wanted to read the French language version to see if I could follow what the article was saying. Got a few lines in then I saw the sidebar. D'oh.
Well, I'm going to argue that both you and the AC are missing the point. I'm not suggesting that if someone doesn't like something about where they live that they should just move. Far from it, so try to be a little less sensitive to perceived insult. What I talking about is a person who has for whatever reason found themselves in an unsympathetic conflict with the government and all other avenues of recourse have failed. In that situation the difference between local government and and the government of a country is that they at least have one further option available to them.
You could still argue that you have that option available at the national level, but if you take that option then you are forced to opt out of the whole system.
Now, since we can easily assume that there are people that will find themselves in these types of situations... the argument then comes back around to the point: that we should push governmental functions down as locally as they can reasonably go, in order to preserve that last-ditch feedback option.
By the way, thanks for responding from a non AC account. If we are going to argue politics its always better to know who you are yelling at.
I've had a very similar response when trying to talk to my Congresscritter. Any "I think this is a bad idea because" letters are responded to with form letters that basically say "Thank you for your concern and by the way this is an awesome idea." Frustrating.
If you compare 1911, when the current size of the House of Representatives was set (at 435 members total), and the present day, the citizen-to-congresscritter ratio has more than tripled. In 1911 the national ratio was about 244k people / representative; as of 2010 it was more like 709k people / rep. (Yes, this is an average over the whole country, which actually hides some interesting big state/small state disparities).
Even in an imperfect world I think its difficult to argue that moving between small towns is easier when it comes to "houses [and] friends and neighbors and jobs" than moving between counties or states or countries. Which was the point I was making. Maybe I'm asking to much of an AC.
Well their secondary recourse, in a town of 185 people, is to leave. This kind of voting with your feet is why pushing governmental functions down to the lowest (read: most local) level is a good thing. The feedback loop is tightest there. If the city government in a small city is out of touch and not listening, the final stage in the feedback loop is for the residents to up and leave for the next town over. The larger the area covered by that government, the more difficult it is to do that.

Your last comment on the site was in 2011 and you mention you've gone further with the code. Care to share how far you got? Source available?

Joining the conversation just makes you one of those people. Have you ever been hit *really* hard with a nerf sword? They hurt!!

Well I thought your joke was funny. No mod points though.
Kindof like cable tv.

And aren't most computers set up to not boot from the cd drive as a default?
See I figured the hard drive wasn't wiped; they just didn't take the live cd out of the drive.
Thats what I was thinking. But then I decided it would be impressive enough to risk it... since I was browsing on my desktop machine.
