From my ass, basically. It was an example. It work for any other kind of tech.

Did you read my entire comment before pressing reply or only the first three words?

The fact that you can name by memory the people that worked in the 40's means that the size of the computer science community back then was tiny.

Did I say that people with more experience than me does not exist?

by aortega 13y ago
My point is that there are VERY VERY FEW people like you and they are expensive. Also, you have about 30% more experience than me, I don't think it's a small amount.

Maybe I'm not that good at english because I believe I was clear that there obviously are people with more experience than me, but there are few. IT in the 70's and 80's was a extremely small field.

Not so much. I'm 35, started programming at about 10 in my TI99-4A, typing games from magazines, etc. the usual stuff. No way a 40 year old guy have more experience than me in general programming, unless he was working at Microsoft or

The truth is, Sparky the dumb technician may think that because they are yellow and very similar, the multimeters have 50000V isolation like the flukes. If you pardon the pun, he's having a shocking suprise, if he survives.

Exactly my experience. I have the luck to work with what are basically geniuses, guys that were hacking at 12. Two decades later they are unstoppable. Brilliant people have the productivity of 5 normal coders, but you have to constantly ro

I'm sorry my answer wasn't up to your standards. Please disregards my comments and continue with your surely Nobel-award research, Dr. crusso.

I'm the founder of a moderately sucessful infosec startup, and my child was born at the same time. It was hard for everybody. Lets face it, startups take much more time than a regular job, and we don't have any of the state-given

3 million PhDs?? you have like the population of Finland in PhDs? that's crazy!

It's more like a Yagi, as currently I feed only one of the "antennas" and the modulation is very limited. But messing with the phases should be possible.

Recently I did a similar project in which a malicious hardware device leaks a victim's data (Password, credit card #, etc.) through a similar technique. We used an FPGA though, so with a 100 Mhz fundamental frequency we had harmonics w

by aortega 13y ago
I don't think a rectangular wave can propagate through the ether :) Output from the digital pin is very rectangular. But you have many sinusoidal‎ harmonics ready to be fired into the air if you plug a small antenna on it.

Yes, too much effort for only a bad joke.

Funny you mention the Newton's Laws of Motion, that's the most famous theory demonstrated to be totally wrong. It was a very good guess though.

by aortega 13y ago
If you are based in individual pieces that may be effectively guesses, how you are not also a guess?

Why? would you say, quantum mechanics theory is a universal truth, a fact, or just a very good guess? Because general relativity is also a theory, but both theories cannot be true in our universe as they contradict. It's the same with

The main problem with Fedora is that it usually doesn't work. At all.
389.
by aortega 13y ago
Maybe it is possible if you don't use any optimizations and always use the same compiler. A function may have the RET in the middle of it. Or use a jmp instead of ret (tail optimization), etc.

Tested on ubuntu 13.10 with latest updates. Doesn't work, but DID crash the kernel, so it's vulnerable.
