The International fair is sponsored by Intel. That means that the rules are probably 45 pages long in tiny print and if followed exactly would disqualify 95% of the projects that were entered. At least that's the way their chip specs read.
Not even. Our data center had an irreplaceable piece oif software that was not Y2K so they just declared that 2000 = 1970. It was finally replaced last year (1982).
On the title page is this ambiguous statement:
This report was published on behalf of
The Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property
by The National Bureau of Asian Research.
Here's a list of the commission members. Perhaps a note should be added to their Wikipedia pages.
To be fair, we were running 3 mbit CSMA/CD at C-MU until we could design 10 Mbit interfaces around 1980. I still have the DEC-Intel-Xerox blue book.
Now tell us what percent of breakins are due to guessing passwords. Maybe 2%. The rest are social engineering, default accounts, keyloggers, vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigured networks and people leaving their phones in bars.
Gloat? The hardware engineers would have to battle with the influx of software engineers battling for their jobs. Pay goes down due to supply and everyone loses.
Once the software engineers are in, there will be so many bugs that the robots won't have an advantage any more, so it will be back to status quo.
I'm assuming this is a joke given what happened to gold prices lately.
With real money when I take your wallet you have no way to prove it was your money. Its created this whole class of criminal called "thieves". A currency with traceable transactions eliminates that class and replaces it with smarter criminals.
So from now on I can get out of any crime by threatening suicide? The DAs are all quaking in their boots.
The average cell phone usage is 459 minutes/month * 300 M cell phones / 2 * 60 sec * 3 KB/sec = 13,000 PB/month (uncompressed).
As Security Theatre goes, TSA is more like "The Producers", a light-hearted musical about fascists designed to lose a great deal of money.
The IAU called it a scam and space.com called it a scam. So its a scam.
Screw reasoning, this is sick (2 balsts, 1 controlled blast, 2 not activated). Hoping investigators will find those people.
This is also doesn't feel like Jihadists...
It is typical Al Queda tactics to have multiple, coordinated bombs. If there were 4 bombs, it doesn't sound like a lone nutjob did this.
The amount of analysis that they can do on video from toll plazas, bridges and tunnels would be interesting to know. They can probably at least capture every license plate and do some cross checking with various databases.
I hope the birth rate has not fallen to 2.1. Birth rate is live births per 1000 people per year, and last I checked was around 22 in the US. You are probably thinking of fertility rate ( live births per woman) or population growth rate (difference of birth rate and death rate).
