That would imply a SYN flood. There is no way to asynchronously spoof an address and establish an SSH session by sending my "half of the connection with delays."
At least that I am aware of.
The mW needed to transmit the cell signal? Or the power needed to illuminate the 2x2" full color screen with real-time GPS positioning, speakerphone, and fluid game play?
The former.. possible. The latter.. only if you put the phone in a paint mixer.
DenyHosts has a default memory time for failed logins of something like 5 days by default. Are you suggesting that a botnet would have enough members to make a meaningful brute force attack when each member can only make three tries in a five-day span? Seems not so plausible.
You can only spoof a given source if you're in the same subnet or if you have control over the routing between yourself and the target. The article deals with botnet threats, not insider attacks.
The biggest thing keeping AMD down in the mobile world is the systems.
Speaking beyond just the mobile market, it's important to keep in mind that Intel is facing anti-trust suits around the world. And has already been found guilty in S. Korea with Europe getting increasingly annoyed at their delays. If the accusations are true, Intel's unlimited R&D budget is ill-gotten via illegal, exclusory business practices.
Frankly I'm all but blown away at how a company with a smaller market cap than either NVIDIA or Intel can continue to compete and sometimes win.
That'll do.. Can we resume our Magic game now please?
How much fun academia must be.

I suppose it's easy to lose track of current progress when bopping around the halls of MIT where the next super-substance, ultra-efficient, free-energy widget is always just around the corner. I don't mean to poop on his parade but his views on near-term technology push the limits of optimism and border on scifi. With MIT.edu at the end of his email address, however, he gets heralded as a prescient futurist.
Kurzweil - you're going to die. I don't care how many injections of thiamine you take a week and how many glasses of organic carrot juice you put down. You'll die maybe with maybe a slightly longer life span than the average healthy person but 150 years of age you will not see. If pharma companies can pour hundreds of millions into studying a single drug, to interact with a single pathway, and then have to recall the same drug later due to unexpected side effects... what makes you think you have unlocked the gift of the gods? "respirocytes" to boost your oxygen exchange 100x that of red blood cells? please. They'd probably tangle in your brain in five minutes.
He'll have the last laugh though.. Another big burst of press when he dies. "Man who claimed immortality found dead on exercise bike at home."
As to his consciousness argument, I see nothing new in there relative to any inclusive book on the subject.
Hah! that's priceless about the power strip.
Everyone knows you're supposed to sit perfectly still, holding your breath, squeezing your sphincter while any BIOS update goes through. Anything less than that shows disrespect resulting in consequences like yours.
I don't often ride to the rescue of MSFT but if people are going to ignore updates and continue to run unpatched IE5 on Windows 2000.. what would you have them do? Force patches on people with no disable option? That'd go over real well with the
Probably the best thing that could happen would be for major web sites to start rejecting IE5. That would oblige a significant chunk of the slackasses out there to upgrade and visit windowsupdate in the process. Not that this would really improve the already infected machines out there but it's a start.
Funny how nobody has stopped to ask... but WTF is this story doing on Slashdot? If I wanted useless partisan bickering over a news story (about news stories) I would go to Yahoo's message boards.
Oh wait, even they figured out that hosting an open forum on the Internet about politics is like giving angry monkeys a bucket of poop. That's why there's no more comments section on articles.
"News for nerds." Let's stick with that.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
