Many APs have WPS implementations that can be trivially brute-forced and can't be disabled. Paper: http://sviehb.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/viehboeck_wps.pdf Open-source tool: http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/

No technical reason really, it's about cost, demand and volume. Cost is going to be a problem because of the high current involved in normal operation and even more so in case of a short-circuit. Let's take a popular battery size, let's say

a) As far as I know, EDK compiles to a working bootloader on supported platforms. b) Not knowing what exactly you've read, I don't know if I'd agree, but anyway, it just implements the UEFI spec. c) As far as I'm aware, all UEFI implementat

Maybe they should offer client side encryption. You know, the kind that's not reversible on their side of things.

Wolfram Alpha does solve some of them. It seems easy to detect the type of question and manually implement a way to parse each. Here's an example that I got while trying to register an API account: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=One

No, components above the Nyquist frequency are filtered out before the ADC because you'd otherwise get aliasing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliasing

Well, you need a 3rd machine to route traffic between two machines if both are behind NAT^. It was my understanding that supernodes were (also) used for this. ^Unless you can predict the translated source port

You can connect to a remote audio server. I've used this feature to output sound from my laptop through my desk speakers even when my laptop is unplugged from its docking station.

And I've got a 2.5" 9mm internal one, but I'm fairly sure that they're talking about density per platter and all 2.5" HDDs larger than 750 GB seem to use two platters.

Not to nitpick, but UEFI is a specification. You're probably thinking of EDK/EDK2 which is the reference implementation. I think it's funny that you compare testing of the Linux kernel where automated testing is an afterthought with project

In the case of Diaspora it was a less subtle and more obvious issue. They just weren't checking for authorization, as in: def destroy @album = Album.find_by_id params[:id] @album.destroy [...] end when the sec
