I get it, their business model is to sell the appliance for cheap and recoup the costs on the K-cups. But this DRM "solution" is anti-consumer, anti-competition, and isn't something I'm comfortable supporting. When my Ke

I'm frequently surprised by the lack of sidewalks everywhere outside of the downtown core of many cities. Perhaps its different in cities I haven't been to, but compared to where I grew up in, it does seem like everywhere else is

So long as we can insert a [Xen] Hypservisor between the OS and the processor, I'm confident someone will find a way to make it do what someone else doesn't want it to. Hypervisors aren't just for virtualizing servers, you ca

Law works the way we want computer programming to work. That is to say, "Do what I meant, not what I coded". I think we get the impression that it's not that way based on our perception of corporations driving money-filled tr

I've enjoyed the idea of self-destructing data for awhile now, but it always leads to the possibility of DoS attacks against my own data. This smartphone app and token, how do they communicate with the drive? Does it use cryptographic

On Android devices at least, you can use the always-on VPN functionality and a VPN Server and HTTP/S proxy to achieve this, it's actually not as hard as you might think. For home users, Sophos has a Home Edition of their UTM that

That's an awesome video! I totally agree with you, for me it's the euphoria of seeing it work, after days or weeks of poking and reading and prodding and reading some more and scratching your head and re-reading the same things. T

In my area there were actually advertisements on the radio asking people to use the lock function on their cellphone to prevent pocket-calls to 911 a few years back. They claimed it had become a problem. It leads me to wonder if your commen

I think there's a valid argument for them to step in here. This is an issue of customers not being able to use what they purchased, eg The Internet. The water was arguably muddy when they were advertising "Speeds up to X", bu

I imagine a truly successful attack would involve clearing the logs of any footprints that we would be looking for. But worth checking anyway for those sloppy folks.

I think DNSSec solves a different problem, one where someone is maliciously tampering with DNS requests. This is a discussion of what you can do with an ordinary DNS client and server. More interestingly, there doesn't seem to be much

I still feel like this is kind of backwards personally. If they're forced to play Canadian music, it would seem to me that many or most people aren't interested in where the music came from as long as it gets your foot thumping. I

One of the artifacts of this is that Canadian music can sometimes be segregated to its own station, as if "Canadian music" was a genre. XM did this for example. As a Canadian though there are few Canadian shows I'm interested

Edit: In fact, you can use motion to record images of the motion that it detects. You can then plug those images into OpenCV for facial recognition. Both Motion and OpenCV are very powerful pieces of software and they can compliment each ot
