If I make a copy of the password database and place it on my machine then how will an alarm reach the admins?
It won't, if all you do with the passwords is keep them on your own machine.
But if you try to use of the passwords to access the machine you took them from, that's when you risk alerting the admins.
Someone correct me. It just doesn't seem feasible.
Speech recognition is pretty good these days, and text is highly compressible. If they discard the audio, It would be quite feasible to store a transcript of every call.
...All without a single patriot in the government going public and blowing the lid off this
Thus far, we've had the same story from a number of whistleblowers:
Former NSA technical director William Binney.
Former house intelligence committee staffer Diane Roark
Former AT&T technician Mark Klein
At what point would you consider the lid blown?
Ghostery itself is a tracker: http://venturebeat.com/2012/07/31/ghostery-a-web-tracking-blocker-that-actually-helps-the-ad-industry/
I use a combination of ABP, DNTMe, and Firefox's built-in DNT flag.
No. Ghostery is not "a tracker."
Ghostery's data collection is opt-in. To share data with them, you have to click a clearly-labeled checkbox. There doesn't appear to be anything fishy about it.
Humans are a type of ape. We only confuse ourselves if we insist on a semantic distinction.
If gibbons are in the club, then we can't justify excluding ourselves... we're much closer to the other apes than gibbons are.
...If the comment below is correct (they have links if you want more info) then it was actually just a copy of the original DNA.
It was a copy of a different species' DNA. They took a sample of m. capricolum, and replaced its DNA with a synthesized copy of m. mycoides's genome. The test organism actually changed into a different species.
... actually, here's a more informative link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma_laboratorium
Damned impressive stuff. They synthesized a copy of the m. mycoides genome from a computer record.
Actually we're already at the threshold of creating life in any form we wish - I believe it was a year or so ago that someone successfully implanted a fully synthetic genome into a bacteria...
That's the impression you'd get from skimming the headlines. I fear it's a bit sensationalist.
The experiment you refer to involved a synthesized -copy- of an existing organism's genome. An impressive feat, but not quite "creating life in any form we wish."
We've learned to copy-and-paste DNA. Right now that's about all we can do. Protein-folding is a hard problem, so we can't easily predict what a given DNA sequence will do, let alone invent new sequences. We can do a bit of remixing, copying a gene from here to there, but we can't create new genes yet.
We'll get there, I don't doubt that. But at this stage, our "synthetic genome" is just a xerox copy.

You can have both!
Install FreeDos in the c:\dos folder of your DosBox machine. You'll get most of FreeDos' new functionality, while keeping the useful features of DosBox.

I don't see how the store is relevant, though. VLC is free and Windows 8 is not a walled-garden, so there is absolutely no need for it to be on the "Microsoft Store".
Win8 is compatible with old-fashioned windows apps, but the new "Metro" environment -is- a walled garden.
This project seeks to port VLC to the "Metro" environment. To run on the start screen, and have the Windows 8 "look and feel."
For that, they will need Microsoft's blessing.
Windows 8 has everything Windows RT has, but it also has an extra tile called "Desktop Mode" where you can run software designed for desktop mode.
Not quite. Windows RT also has a prominent tile called "Desktop Mode," which looks identical to Windows 8's desktop mode. See here for more information: http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-rt-desktop-mode-gets-detailed-better-than-expected
And here's a lovely video of Windows RT's desktop mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D06Lb0W37w
Its not that baffling.
It was baffling enough to confuse you, apparently.
BACK TO ANTS: It's a false conclusion to say they have been using a distibuted network "for millions of years". That is a random guess. For all we know they just discovered this method in the last 1000 years
It needn't be a random guess. If another species of harvester ant exhibits similar behaviour, that's pretty good evidence that the behaviour is older than the rift between the species.
The paper discusses a single species, but if Dr. Prabhakar thinks the behaviour is millions of years old he may have some idea what he's talking about.
You keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better.
What do you mean?
He means he doesn't understand public key cryptography.
It seems a bit disingenuous to call this a "bug."
The API was operating as designed: when a friend lists a new email address, my address book is updated to reflect it. That's normal behavior.
The "bug" in this case was Facebook's decision to modify their users' contact info without permission. The API is not to blame here.
