No need, everything is compiled from source, no dhcp to be found, and the kernel's network stack shows no traffic - but the switch does. It is no secret that Intel ME does whatever it wants with the ethernet port.

Demand Media makes money by monitoring ad networks and then paying people to churn out worthless content that pollutes search results. They watch metrics very carefully.

Just be mindful of the fact that you've only increased the difficulty of an attack, the vulnerability still exists. I've got a lenovo that regularly sends out dhcp broadcasts, despite no dhcp code being on disk - it could just as

That doesn't seem like a very well thought out way of defending a logical endeavor like scientific research. I don't know how you plan to learn what an "organization knows", but lets pretend that is economically feasibl

I hope you didn't put much effort into tracking that down for me, because that isn't what I would call a "favorite platform independent C project". I guess it could be someone's favorite something, but I think it w

I'll have to defer to your expertise in Objective-C and iOS, because it was my understanding that C was not a first class citizen in the iOS world. Like with Windows, Microsoft has treated C like a redheaded stepchild. Yes C++ is a s

I can't speak to the appropriateness of publicly expressing distaste, but I'd expect building any nontrivial C library for iOS to be a chore - because Objective-C isn't C.

Take business process modeling [0], and add a dash of directed acyclic graph [1]. You need both fast access to a massive amount of historical data, and the ability to finely control what gets stored where in memory - so not something you c

How are the cameras going to create more litigation? It seems to me that the officers would welcome evidence that would protect them from false accusations... although, as it is now they already have the advantage in a he-said-she-said sit

All those costs in modularity apply to PCs, which are still around despite the hard drive to turn everything into a SOC. If I were able to get the same amount of use out of a modular phone as I have my daily driver PC (going on nearly 10 y

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is a fun problem to think about - you don't want to reveal the target, but you also don't want to be detected (gotta poison backups)... so indiscriminate destruction doesn't work.

Well few statists like whistleblowers, because they share the Sgt. Barnes philosophy of "when the machine breaks down, we break down". Republicans expressing the same sentiments are more likely to be pandering, because the demons

No, in that case they are taking power - you haven't handed over anything. It is not a distinction without a difference, "...consent of the governed." etc.

It is a terrible situation, and putting out prior art certainly doesn't fix that - but the alternatives courses of action are worse (assuming purely defensive interests). I think you're right though, if the internet was somehow p

I guess I've been mistaken in my understanding of the whole process. I was under the impression that all the controls are in place specifically to restrict the juror's natural inclination to infer, because humans really suck at l

Darn, I already replied to this point moments ago. There is a difference in the application of this logic in the court room where it can be challenged, and the juror room where it cannot - right?

Not every piece of evidence (in the Bayesian sense) is admissible in every court though, polygraphs being an obvious example. That is why courts get all pissy when jurors go off the reservation and start doing their own research. I'd

Nope, but that doesn't matter - as enforcement is the concern, and there prior art shines. If the motive is purely defensive (and I don't include the menacing of a portfolio in that category), then it is the ideal move to make -
