Sounds like homegrown crypto, to avert signature detection.
when AES instructions first appeared. I thought it seemed a wasted opportunity. not to create some means of ring protection. Sure, malware can encrypt normally. but legitimate use should be access controlled, enabling audit and identification of unauthorized crypto generally by ser/des sampling for random data patterns. I want a log from a standard interface across CPU and offload NICs. coprocessors. iI want to view every crypto endpoint. and know how keys were generated. and how actually exchanged and stored.
post Spectre. i want audit as much. no more than i want patches.
My Netgear router could actually inspect crypto traffic against a global signature capture network. by Sophos. in 2010. at home. How is this better?
Wow, I still have a Nakamichi CR-7A 110V US lead, low mileage, second user, i storage here in London UK...
I paid quite some for it, none were easily available at all and I had reasons to be picky also, so I paid well over... yet stillI would be amazed to attain the current eBay ask for a current equivalent condition deck.
I see high at 2,300 and a live bid at 1200 due to close Saturday night...
sorry the 1200 seems to be a buy it now price...
that seems about OK really, but that seller offers no condition information
_holy cow, neither does the seller asking 2.4 kilobucks guve up any condition description other than cosmetic!
That's insane, these decks were twitchy - the Dragon wowed listeners more that it could sound good and be a tape deck, and was demanding as heck to get rolling with bias and the rest... everyone dreamed of a Dragon in my day... the one I have is the lesser beat but automates so much and simply doesn't expose the twiddling possibilities to the user.. forgive me my memory is strangely better of the glossy brochures I begged for as a kid, than my having and operating the Nakamich CR7-A in my home.
Why is that? I dunno but i sure guess it was simply unable to fulfil my teenage dream. Since then I have been spoiled with studio mastering gear - or rather the results of in the studio, it's not my field I'm marketing but my late biz partner was serious in music management, and I am still a frustrated engineer who reads TapeOp magazine like it's a top of shelf excitement I can't let my mom know I got... (anyone remember Stuio Sound & Engineering magazine? I can't even find reference to it. That was a insanely high brow publication I genuinely learned enough from to float around a music world full of proper big name people surround my partners' clients, and get taken for being a engineer/producer if I was not tempted to try to impress. Generally whatever did happen to magazines you could learn things from? Pro audio mags are terrible glossy ads now with no clue what a reverb is even used for in their reviews. I glean good things from GearSlutz forums but I studied EE for audio amateurishly stemming from a solid foundation, so I can filter fairly well... any hints or leads on good places to differentiate tech & technique from technique dictated by tech that the user doesn't understand, I'd be very grateful for... reverbs are a tough one for describing in words, some of the best members at GearSlutz are not native English speakers and take pains to describe well, but I crave a take on the effect in-chain: how do fiff freqs tail or clip? how long does a tail still comprise discernible signal before it is purely reverberating energy mushed by the synthetic environment or decay.. how much of what can be discerned feeding back at differing time on long delays... and a host of things that might mean you apply this reverb dead last or might indicate it will respond to more processing (eg dynamics rarely good idea post but it can work well)/frankly i never got any real idea about any kit since Studio Sound went off the shelves - it's worse today (or better for kit churning sales?) because there are less acoustically good places to listen and too many rack units of effects / processing: it frustrates me tomsay the least to read top pros experss the merits of a device solely in adjectives without using any concrete nouns regarding the device's actio on the signal that they are decsribing as sonorous, spatial, clear mids (which mids what voice or instrument what freqs, solo or blended feed?) and feeling like even the ones you know can't be bought are doing a infomercial.
Sorry for the rant - pls forgive a fast ageing cumudgeon.
However I suppose I am prepared to sell that Nakamichi CR-7A if it still runs well, I'd not sell ever as is. But I could not ask these ratesm- tell me you've a project, evcen if you have to flip it afterwards, but tell me it aint the money to you and I'll be happy to respond to any genuine inqu
How exactly hard would a have been for the government to anticipate this notification, and dump the traffic outta Twitter's mail servers, and run a quick search for "Oh, by the way, we're just warning you the government is after you", and then cross check the emails to mine personal identifiers?
When i had to switch in the UK from analog, there was no charge made on SMS.
I was truly shocked when, a few years later, texting took off.
It was like the X.25 channel on ISDN. There, known to a few, but of little use.
Oh, silly me, i bought a phone, to be, err, a phone.
Now, if you suddenly find a way to charge good money for something which is a byproduct waste in your system, why the heck not charge as much as you can?
All you're doing is taxing cowardice. Which is a plentiful thing. Don't tell me you never "hid" behind a text message for convenience sake?
As for Android messing with SMS addressing, is this not a GSM certification spec?
I read like a dozen news pieces on this case, and you're the first to actually explain it. Nice work.
Now i get it. TomorrowNow was basically set up to skim and scam from the start. No wonder the FBI are interested. Interstate Wire Fraud. Hundreds of thousands of counts.
Nope, easy to get one of these:
http://www.eizo.com/global/products/atc/sq2801/index.html
i just would be amazed if they cost less than $10K plus $100K "procurement fee"
but seriously, if someone dared to mass produce a spec even close to that, even for several grand, i'm pretty sure they'd sell fairly briskly.
Also check out KDB Radio at kdb.com. Monthly advance listings are where to look. Pretty good signal for internet radio. Annoying plugin, but i beleive that's an acceptable trade, see this next bit:
sure, it's "programmed music" i.e. to fit their day plan / style, but i've never heard an interruption to any piece.
This is/., so that static page & those track play timings listed in the last 5chars following a parens without a space, and those schedule separators (" Eine Kleine Morgenmusik 6 to 9am", "Rhapsody 9am to Noon" etc.) can be usesul, right?:-)
You mean: Beyond Pollution
oh, and change their splodgy yellow/green logo to yellow/brown. Yup, this is a branding shop's dream. "100 mil to redesign your logo sir? But really, it cost you 20 billion to make it that way . . . i think you're lowballing us . . "
Giving benefit of doubt, you're being sarcastic i hope.
Here's the classic reference, from 1955: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entores_Ltd_v_Miles_Far_East_Corporation
Which actual findings are admirably geeky, relying as they do in "implied ACKs" (my phrase, which i think fits nicely, if you read the case)
Which same also neatly renders silly your phrase: "presence in . . country by virtue of". Quite apart from personally disliking teleportation, the point fo the matter is the communication, not "presence".
Lawyers, IMNSHO, the really good ones at least, i believe pioneered concepts of AI, way before Stanford got into it:-)
They are most informative, for those above crying about imaginary worries that this decision causes liability which did not exist before for free / OSS developers. It doesn't make even things harder for commercial developers, provided they're not a bunch of conniving idiots.
Here's the crux, on which the claim relies and the defense fails . .
in para 66 Toulmin finds: "*Red Sky's advertising materials for Entirety make specific claims for Entirety*. They include, among its other advantages, that Entirety "dramatically increases revenue and occupancy levels, allows quicker check in and check out service to paying guests. "This is the essence of the service Red Sky was claiming to provide for Kingsway. "
But the real fun is to read how Red Sky's case collapsed . .
some choice quotes from the findings, no particular oder, edited for brevity:
"Mr Benson was ill prepared when he came to give evidence. . . He said in his CV that he had been employed for seven years immediately preceeding his employment at Kingsway. This turned out to be untrue. . . His witness statements gave the impression that he was responsible for IT contracts . . In oral evidence he had to admit that, on the contrary, he was employed by Ramesys as a technical installer .."
"Mr Edwards was at all material times the Managing Director of Red Sky. He said in oral evidence that he understood the business side but not the actual detail as to how the software was used. "
"Ms Howard found herself in the uncomfortable position of having to defend the Action on behalf of her superiors . . " (they left it to their junior to defend the court proceedings against them! Wow!)
"Reverting to Ms Howard, there appeared to be times when she was covering loyally for the inadequacies of Mr Frost, to whom she reported, and others at Red Sky. Her witness statements contained important and glaring inaccuracies."
so in summary, the vendor lied outragously both about their product capability (not thinking to find some choice disclaimer either in their ad - copy nor in other material representations to the original sale which might have gotten them off the hook) and stumbled into court still telling a pack of lies.
FOR THOSE NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS OTHER THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL, PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE IN TFF (the f findings of fact)THERE IS A INTERPRETATION OF LAW AS TO THE EXTENT OF WARRANTY WHICH REVISISE PREVIOUS LAW???!!!
Frankly, it's just an silly workaday case, short in findings, and frankly rather fun to read.
Says plenty about the journalists who highlighted this that they could write more words than obviously they cared to scan - read even from the source.
As to the case itself, meh, nothing to see here, but gotta feel sorry for Ms Howard.
Or very very happy if you're her employment attorney, depending how you look at it . .
"what he wants is a slice of Google pie, the bigger the slice the better."
that rather begs the question: what part of whose pie was google slicing for themselves in the first place?
as much as i seen social network benefits from search engines of all kinds, i'm hard pressed to se how they contributed to the sales bottom line of any traditional media company.
To me, forgive my bad think, i just remember google as the search engine that would never sell adverts, or would have you think so, aided surely by competitors who whored themselves without doubt,the same company who just became the controller of 60% of their own advertising market, being all of which they appeared - to my recall - to be against.
contrary to populatr opinion i see clasrly the arguement that google's revenue (and any other SE) is a derivative of work provided at traditonal media's expense. Maybe i just seen too many aggregator blogs, big names amongst them, who sign off with taglines as "via X via Y via ~insert actual media company here~" To me at least that's a circuitous con, and i the reader become complicit with that. No doubt i find "access" to sources in a novel and convenient way, but really - and just like much trad media, how much am i reading si regurgitated PR?
If you think my views are so contrarian, think for amoment that in this internet model, if i publshed the Financial Times, suddenly not only do i have to give copies away fro free, but i have to deliver to your doorstep for free too.
What i see constantly, so much so i almost came to believe it myself, is argument for the benefits of meta syndication (blogging, linking, and really dubious practises such as majority citation and replublication) as if it is entirely harmless. The point being, at the bottom line, does any of this benefit major news providors? Moreover, do you think your favourite blog can sustain a adequate alternative? Or, is the question rather that maybe if the revenues were not so fanciful and derivative of other sources, that your favourite blog would by now have replaced the old media equivalent, in terms that the original no longer survives, and your eblog can manage the staffing etc.
I am not suggesting i have solutions, but whenever i see this argument, i see it merely discussed one - way, as is the general drift here. Pity that "old media" (and why is it old, if so oft - quoted, or do you mean "yesterday's news" assuming ~fave blog~ is out gettiong tomorrows as opposed to rehashing something read off the wire . . ) i simply don't undestand how old media [sic] fails so spectacularly in engaging the debate with specifics to support their argument and their feeling as to rights and moral rights. Thus, the supposedly eloquent are dumstruck, and naturally are cannon - fodder for the online comunities. But that still does not make a rebuttal of News Corp's claim, or any other similar claim. The emperer may have no clothes, but they remain the emperor, assuming they wake up that is.
So many of the comments here just make me want to shout "freetard" but the reality is that eventually this debate si going to get very interesting indeed. I envy with sincerity anyone just in college or education right now, fo rth efreedom of access and information they have, and would argue we ought to keep such facility on pain of loss of a tremendous new generation of ideas. But we ignore the wishes and concerns of the biggest employers in media at our peril. Merely biasing against their position (the cynical "good luck with that" retorts, e.g.) risks polarising the argument and placing it in a wholly political sphere. If the game is the Sonny Bono Act, then i fear the masses will loose. The dark irony in me wonders if political precoccupation with international wars and deflation isn't the only thing distracting government from being suaded by the very real forces of traditional media lobby. We ultimately all have a choice how to deal with this, possibyl in ways which will affect long term outcomes. Is it only me that wonders who a ISP should be the only person i actually p

they'd buy cardboard cutouts of Cary Fiorana and Robert Palmer - hey actually a whole bunch of them - and put them in front of HP's freaking doors. Extra cardboard men and women for every entrance to HP's Palo Alto labs.
To anyone with any sense of corporate history, i think this trite gesture is very very bad PR. Hitting on two respected - moreover from what i understand, decent - deceased men is the impression i get. Did they try to imply Bill and Dave would prefer to walk through Sun's doors? I think this backfired bigtime. Counting down now until the story switches from "look at that" dumb blogging posts to a more serious take on Sun culture in the business press . . . At least when Scott McNealy said "nyah NYAH!" with thumb to nose, at his competitors, you knew it was part and parcel of McNealy's management style.

AC said: "Damn yankee calloquialisms! Not so limey after all, eh?"
LOL! That would have my old classmates in stitches. Yes, my phraseology may in part be attributed in part to American English predominance on the web, in commerce, and amongst friends, colleagues and relatives, and even a twinge of identity frustration. But it could equally stem from simply preferring a conversational style of writing, and a long debated decision on my part that American English - for that particular style - scans better, and is, in my experience, more easily parsed by Scandinavian and Nordic natives with whom i converse. I can be as uptight and limey as you like, but why restrict oneself to one mode of expression when the (aggregate) language is so rich, and potentially playful, as your comment reflexively illustrates?
Still smiling: good point Mr. AC, but you do know how you proved *your* origins, don't you?:-)
- we got time to do stuff in the real world whilst out little modems crackled away . ..even if it was only to rant to baffled friends about this newfangled CSS thing . . .
- our girlfriends & family didn't (on the whole) care for the intarweb and so we didn't have to run about cleaning windows sypware, lest we be accused of evil voodoo for sitting near their machine . ..leaving us at least one fewer thing to get in the way of, well . . . normal relations . .
- world + dog didn't call asking for a myspace / bebo type site thinking they could host it on a virtual account for $20pcm. They did of course want flash animations *everywhere* but that could be fixed by handing the nearest pre-teen a graphics tablet or, if a deadline, drinking waaay too much the night before setting the design . . .
- right up until they got into the advertising game, we could believe Google's altruistic mantra . .
- "thin edge" or highly targeted media sounded a really good thing (at least it did if you worked in print publishing), and being cocooned in a geek world, (or pre - AOL joining the fun) we could still believe - just a bit - that shock jocks, neo-nazis, political wierdos of all kinds might not turn the whole game into a ego-stroking cacophony muffled only by commercial interest plays & lawsuits, and yet more recently internet aware (as opposed to savvy) special interest pressure groups.
- we gave our old (working) crap to charity rather than spending a week answering questions already answered in 72pt bold typeface on an ebay listing. (and corrolary i wonder if we didn't accumulate less crap, because we couldn't flip a ill advised purchase on ebay.. )
- last (well not last, but before i start asking "does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?") only a few of us ever had to debate copyright and trademark law in earnest - and they actually got paid for it. Added because i still see no horizon for such concerns actually becoming a voting issue.

We ultimately all have a choice how to deal with this, possibyl in ways which will affect long term outcomes. Is it only me that wonders who a ISP should be the only person i actually p

Oh, Jean Louis Gassée!

No, but i'm fairly sure it was the Romans who were the first to be effectively trolled, however, in a classic early post: 'Romanes Eunt Domus'
"It's a series of tubes."
Yes, so far, YouTube, quickly followed by PornoTube. . .
Replace prefix "i-" with suffix "-Tube" , add joke memes, mix in a few lame marketing guys and typo-squatters, and our political friend is _way ahead of the curve.
This engineer should have gone to SueTube

they'd buy cardboard cutouts of Cary Fiorana and Robert Palmer - hey actually a whole bunch of them - and put them in front of HP's freaking doors. Extra cardboard men and women for every entrance to HP's Palo Alto labs.
To anyone with any sense of corporate history, i think this trite gesture is very very bad PR. Hitting on two respected - moreover from what i understand, decent - deceased men is the impression i get. Did they try to imply Bill and Dave would prefer to walk through Sun's doors? I think this backfired bigtime. Counting down now until the story switches from "look at that" dumb blogging posts to a more serious take on Sun culture in the business press . . . At least when Scott McNealy said "nyah NYAH!" with thumb to nose, at his competitors, you knew it was part and parcel of McNealy's management style.
Look under the EMI link at the left sidebar Provides blast protection and by being partially reflective, visual protection of a kind too.
Our labs are prepared for our uber-rich Magrathea - customer overlords.
Hmm, okay, so can i prove something with this?

i.e, everyone wants to know where sex can be found, a heck of a lot of people want to know where their email is, a elite minority are looking for that internet that was sent them but never arrived, "internets" clearly remain off the practical radar for now, and no-one cares at all where their politicians are?
I'm beginning to think this is a marketing / pr / scaremonger's wet dream
AC said: "Damn yankee calloquialisms! Not so limey after all, eh?" LOL! That would have my old classmates in stitches. Yes, my phraseology may in part be attributed in part to American English predominance on the web, in commerce, and amongst friends, colleagues and relatives, and even a twinge of identity frustration. But it could equally stem from simply preferring a conversational style of writing, and a long debated decision on my part that American English - for that particular style - scans better, and is, in my experience, more easily parsed by Scandinavian and Nordic natives with whom i converse. I can be as uptight and limey as you like, but why restrict oneself to one mode of expression when the (aggregate) language is so rich, and potentially playful, as your comment reflexively illustrates? Still smiling: good point Mr. AC, but you do know how you proved *your* origins, don't you? :-)
and on a philosophical note:

- we got time to do stuff in the real world whilst out little modems crackled away . .
- our girlfriends & family didn't (on the whole) care for the intarweb and so we didn't have to run about cleaning windows sypware, lest we be accused of evil voodoo for sitting near their machine . .
- world + dog didn't call asking for a myspace / bebo type site thinking they could host it on a virtual account for $20pcm. They did of course want flash animations *everywhere* but that could be fixed by handing the nearest pre-teen a graphics tablet or, if a deadline, drinking waaay too much the night before setting the design . . .
- right up until they got into the advertising game, we could believe Google's altruistic mantra . .
- "thin edge" or highly targeted media sounded a really good thing (at least it did if you worked in print publishing), and being cocooned in a geek world, (or pre - AOL joining the fun) we could still believe - just a bit - that shock jocks, neo-nazis, political wierdos of all kinds might not turn the whole game into a ego-stroking cacophony muffled only by commercial interest plays & lawsuits, and yet more recently internet aware (as opposed to savvy) special interest pressure groups.
- we gave our old (working) crap to charity rather than spending a week answering questions already answered in 72pt bold typeface on an ebay listing. (and corrolary i wonder if we didn't accumulate less crap, because we couldn't flip a ill advised purchase on ebay
- last (well not last, but before i start asking "does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?") only a few of us ever had to debate copyright and trademark law in earnest - and they actually got paid for it. Added because i still see no horizon for such concerns actually becoming a voting issue.
