They get a signal today so they must have an error-correction protocol sufficient to the task. So the answer is: encrypt the payload first, then error-correct it, and then transmit. And remember that the value is the real-time viewing of the video to see where the drone is heading. So the encryption doesn't have to be brilliant, leading edge stuff like Blowfish or even AES, it just has to be difficult enough to crack that the, uh, payload is delivered before the bad guys can decrypt the stream and view it.

Is this good enough? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Vf8R_gOec Extrema Eyefinity Tech Demo on Linux - 63 Megapixel - X-Plane --- 24 displays (4x6 array). - Clever sig temporarily out of service. 1994.01.01

I'm not so sure. How much gee-whiz collaborative filtering whiz-bang technology does one need to predict that a mention in Slashdot will produce an attack and outage? I bet their research shows Slashdotting in the top-10 attacks.

Glass, plastic, whatever -- it's got to be insulated to retain the heat, the warmth, the life. If it's not an insulated container, the coffee gets cold and the flavor changes to bitter. Those who drink their caffeine cold also require insulation for the complementary reason - the warmer it gets, the more you can taste it (whatever "it" is).

I am supposed to be reassured because a few undergrads with time to kill were unable to read a couple of disks? What exactly does this say about someone well-funded and determined? Physical destruction is your friend. Get out a hammer and a butane torch.

My PalmPilot did this routinely in 1998. A client with CPU, display, and storage.
My PalmPilot would synchronize this information with a PC. A server.
I kept my various lists on it.
Filing date is 2001.
I'm sure I could find earlier examples dating back to the 1970s.
Why is this hard? And why did the Patent Office accept this filing?
