In many US states including IL it is illegal to record conversations without consent of both parties. AFAICT this includes both phone and in-person.

A while back I had the idea that it would be fun to do undercover exposes on scam companies, by getting employed and gathering hidden camera/audio footage. Unfortunately I think there would be legal problems here.

Also, The Works toilet cleaner + aluminum foil in a bottle. Just a few of the fun things we learned when signed up for the Science elective

It's not a Miracle?

What about Video Toaster in the Amiga era? Weren't there animated font plugins available?

Perhaps examples from the IBM commercials or kid shows (like Sesame Street) aren't prior art, due to the animations being created for single use use in their finished videos.

The summery left that out.

4. How can I find out if my machine is vulnerable?

Any computer using Broadcom NetXtreme chips with ASF activated and configured is vulnerable. Users of such computers should apply the official patches (see 6). Other vendor cards and other cards models are not impacted by this vulnerability. Machines using Broadcom NetXtreme chips when ASF has never been configured (Requires to launch the Broadcom ASF configuration tool) are not vulnerable but patching is highly recommended.

5. How can I protect my computers from such an attack?

If your computer is vulnerable to this attack you can either (in order of preference):

• 1. apply the vendor patch (see 6) ;
• 2. deactivate ASF. This should be done using the Broadcom ASF Configuration tool and not by turning off ASF in the BIOS of the machine;
• 3. configure all your network packet-filters to filter UDP ports used by ASF (623 and 664).

Please note that some operating systems actually deactivate ASF at boot time. Some operating systems or hypervisors might also take advantage of hardware technologies such as Intel Vt-d and AMD I/OMMUs that would limit the impact of the attack.

I saw Avatar in 3D (twice) and I do like the new polarization method versus the old color seperation method, which always made colors weird for me. However the low FPS of movies is much more annoying with 3D. Quick moving objects in a close z-axis really strobe across the screen

That's what I was thinking...

If they grab the windows search index file then they'd have a map to everything else?

get \ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb (vista)
or \All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb (xp)

Or put their hand in between? Something tells me those prisoners wouldn't have much of a problem with that...
