Just a printout of random numbers would be way much more secure than their otp generator electronic crapola.
A pretty large amount of what RSA sells could be replaced with simple commodity tech and be an improvement. At best they sell hugely overpriced Enterprise-Ready versions of those same commodity encryption tools, packaged into "appliances". Apparently they didn't even do that right, though.
From the summary, it seems they're specifically looking at the decline in mitochondrial function that accompanies aging. There's already known to be such a relationship, and the study linked here is claiming that increasing the levels of something claimed NAD+ in the muscular tissue of mice appears to reverse the decline in mitochondrial function.
One interesting stat is that 75% of sales were actually older BB7 devices.
It's hard to say for sure, but I suspect this is mostly existing corporate customers who are already standardized on BB7 company-wide just buying more devices, as replacements for broken devices, and/or to provide devices to new staff. That provides a nice short/medium-term revenue stream, but is only sustainable in the long-term if, when these corporate customers eventually replace their BB7 infrastructure, they go with something newer that's also from BlackBerry, rather than moving elsewhere.
My guess is they didn't choose Genesis chapter 3 for the reading either, about how Man shouldn't eat from the forbidden tree of knowledge, lest he realize he's naked.
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
3:9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
The "Zero" refers to the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, a suicide-bombing device that's been manufactured in large quantities, many of which are currently unaccounted for. A "Zero attack" is a common kind of suicide bomber strategy that's killed thousands of Americans. Here's some footage. It's not as popular as it used to be, but we can't risk letting up our vigilance, of course.
Another way of phrasing this is that the NSA's metadata collection program, while admittedly not perfect, has met or exceeded the benchmarks set by peer agencies, such as the TSA.
The subtext is that it's less controversial among people who could possibly constrain the NSA's activities in this area, i.e. U.S. citizens & politicians.
No need, modern distros run just fine on ancient hardware.
Your beef with MS (at least as stated in this thread) is their short support period, so the existence of other OSes with longer support is paramount to your argument; that's why I asked for a reference.
No way that ancient clunker would run W8 (which I wouldn't use unless I was well paid to but W7 is OK).
And both are still supported and have nearly identical system requirements (1GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 16GB HDD [20GB for 64bit], and a DX9-capable video card). The only difference is that Win8 requires a CPU with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2; which Win7-capable CPU do you have that doesn't support those?
The kind soul who pointed you to the HOWTO for Audacity was me, BTW; and the software you're running that hasn't received updates in years is EAC (last update was over 2 years ago). I don't want to harp on that point too much, though, since it seems as though you may not have been aware.
I'm really interested to know how you've got IE7 running on Win7 when it ships with IE8 and Win7 doesn't support IE7, according to the 2nd post (from an MS employee) on that page. XP mode? IE7 mode in IE8 (more likely 9 or 10, since the upgrade to IE9 was a critical update)? I'm not saying it's not possible, but Microsoft is; if you've done it (or, rather, someone where you work has) I'd really genuinely be interested to learn how it was done.
Doesn't sound like anything a bit of dynamite couldn't handle.
How's that paradigm working out for you Mr. Coyote?
What do you do in those 40 hours a week and why do you think you could only care about a job if it doesn't involve coding?
I use these services because I have nothing to hide and like our caring government.
Since I have nothing to hide, my caring government would be wasting resources trying to monitor and read my communication.
By making it impossible for them to do so, I'm saving them effort, time and money.
If the protocol is open, you could build your own app implementing it.
a) because it's behind a paywall; and b) how can the original data even hope to be located when a majority of the population can't even read the paper?
The track marking is what Audacity lacks (AFAIK, maybe it can but I haven't found it).
Just a heads-up, in case you've found EAC's 44.1kHz limitation less than ideal: You can totally split a recording into tracks with Audacity. You might enjoy the ability to record at the highest rate your audio hardware supports, process out pops, clicks, and hiss, and fade in/out any remaining noise from the silence between tracks before downsampling to 44.1/16/2 and burning to CD.
The algorithm for finding the longest path in a graph is NP-complete. For you systems people, that means it's *real slow*. -- Bart Miller
