I agree with you about 95 percent, but in this case I think the judge could have at least read the law being argued over and have seen that it has nothing to do with circumventing unencrypted access control.
I guess this is probly a good time to begin encrypting all your IM's and emails. As previously mentioned there is PGP for email. But for msn there are a couple options. I had a really good experiance with simp: http://www.secway.fr/us/products/simplite_msn/home .php
Can do a pub/priv key exchange or just use a symmetric key and do a Diffie-Hellman exchange. Changes text colour based on authentication type, warns you about possible compromises, etc.
I have nothing to do with the company it is just something i stumbled upon one day. Of course could use skype for all IMing. Probably quite a bit less secure than simp because with simp you can authenticate someones public key in person with hash checking. But it is an option.
Me and a friend run the cable company here up at big white, local kelowna ski hill. Anyone have any more info in this as it pertains to cable companies? I'd do the research myself but I'm off duty;)
We have cable (rg6) run through every building up here, so maybe this would make a cheaper alternative to DOCSIS cable modems, to just put one in the basement, then some kind of HPNA switch/inserter?
Deep freeze is a good program, but far from foolproof like many have mentioned. Use other security measures as well. One student gets his hand on the wrong tool (like this one http://usuarios.arnet.com.ar/fliamarconato/pages/e deepunfreezer.html ) and your deep freeze doesnt help much.
Course, compared to a HDD this is expensive. Very expensive. You need 32 of these to make a 250gB drive. This would cost 8 grand just to make a modern HDD. But if prices keep dropping as they have been (I see no reason why not?) and capacities keep going up, we could be seeing 32gb modules in a couple years. It is going to take time, but I cant see why we should be switched to all-flash drives within maybe ten years? It will start with these hybrid drives because they make a good compromise, but our current HDDs are startlingly unreliable compared to any other system component, and are a severe bottleneck on performance.
A modern pre-manufactured flash drive will arrange its internal flash modules in a raid-0 type striped array. It will have extra flash in there and will use it when the flash in use begins to degrade.
With large stripping arrays you can easily make a flash drive outperform a HDD.
Here is some random review i found for a mere 2-set stripped array on a USB thumb drive (The OCZ Rally).
Reads are hitting 25mb. Make it a 4 set stripped array and we just met or exceeded the rates of a current spinning-disk HDD(I'm talking about reads from the disc, not cached reads). Make it 8? Starting to aproach the limit of ata-100. You suffer some in seek time each time you inscrease the size of the stripe array, but since flash has a very low seek time to begin with, it really is not an issue.
With random reads it is a whole different story. For very randomized reads/writes a single flash module is already competitive with a spinning-disc hdd.
It doesn't depend. The access time is lower always. The lower performance is because of the way your controller organizes the flash.
Most controllers now a days of that type will just stick the flash into one big volume and be done with it. Flash can safely be organized into large raid-0 arrays internal to the drive and handily outperform a rotating disk drive.
It is true that for sequential reads and writes single flash modules are quite a bit slower than a modern HDD. But with the raid0 type striping built within the drive itself this would no longer be the case.
The more random the read/write gets, the higher the advantage the flash drive will see.
This is how modern flash drives (prebuilt i mean) work: Striping and redundant flash sectors, with write spreading algs.
It is a bit unfair to quote out of context like this. You can't just replace the rest of a quote with "..." to make your point look more valid.
The full quote is: "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."
Doesnt totally get rid of the cheapness of it, but its a lot less of a potshot I'd say. They are far from placing all the blame on Microsoft.
No, but flash DOES fail fairly predictibly and in certain ways. You get a certain amount of write cycles per sector, etc. You implement a write spreading alg on the drive and increase its life dramatically. You can easily start marking sectors as bad and have VERY early warning on drive failure. You can extend life dramatically by having extra sectors on the drive for write spreading (more benifet the more full the drive is). Also with current write lives, we can have drives you can write to 24/7 for years without that sector failing. With the write-spreading the drive lifetime would vastly outstrip a normal hdd on average.
The access time is also VERY low compared to a HDD, and unless the controller itself fries, its almost impossible to have catastrophic data loss.
Basically, we cant switch fast enough, there are no downsides but price.
"2. Make hotkeys work everywhere, all the time. (You know when you hit CTRL+L and nothing happens)"
I actually use alt-d as it can be pressed easily with one hand. I've never had it not work either. Even works if you are in a menu, or have the right click context open.
It has the unfortunate side effect of beeing the 'nudge' hotkey for msn, so careful!
Anyone who has used utorrent will know exactly how software SHOULD be developed.
The WHOLE functioning program is 170kB. It is as or MORE feature rich than Azureus, which is a MUCH larger memory/cpu hog. Wish it was open source so everyone could learn how to code like that.
I've been following these e-ink readers since I've first read about the technology. I'm an avid reader and re-read all the books I enjoy many times. Having all my books available on a SD card in a reader which lasts like 20 books worth on a single charge, all while looking a lot like real paper is like a dream come true for me.
The main competition to this sony reader seems to be the Iliad from I-Rex. I think it is a much nicer reader for a couple reasons.
It has a nice page turn interface, it has a proper paperback A5 sized screen, and runs linux. There has already been quite a bit of hacking on it. Can code your own readers for various formats etc.
The downsize? It is like $850 instead of $350 of the sony:(
Guess I'm still stuck waiting till the iliad comes down in price or another reader comes out at a lower price point. These things are way to specialized for the price they are demanding.
Pretty amazing the article doesnt mention Google Video...it has to be one of Youtube's major competitors too. Has a simpler interface and better search...
Sure he did. He went beeing drunk in public (illegal) where a cop could see him, while all but admitting he was going to drive home drunk. That has to be worse than just stumbling around in the dark;)

Nooooooooooooooooooo.

Still, I'm rooting for you OO!

It is true, all these programs basically exploit an almost analog-hole type situation. And most of them dont even work anymore.
None of them broke the encryption in the first place.

Try BSG. Most intense show ever.
Reading the mars trillogy right now, and the whole series is facinating.
Is there eny evidence of underground aquifiers like in the books?
There shouldnt be too much fear, it is 100% legal here in Canada.

Good luck!
Once the industry decides on a tech to use, and huge mass manufacturing begins, the prices drop quickly.

Look at flash since we're talking about it. Only a few years ago 128mb was considered a big module, and costed close to $100.
Now we are seeing 8gb modules coming out. Here is an 8gB for 256$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N8
Course, compared to a HDD this is expensive. Very expensive. You need 32 of these to make a 250gB drive. This would cost 8 grand just to make a modern HDD.

I still say we cant switch fast enough.

God she looks ugly there. She is much more attractive on the show itself.
Actually, while 11 channels are claimed, there really are only 3.
1, 6, 11.
Any other channels are just varying degrees of overlap with these 3.
