They'll be claiming they have their own language next.

It's called mangleish

But there will be a huge 3rd party market in covers for the box

Team America ?

F**K (Android) YEAH!!!! (Well they are made in dakkadakka land).

Cue team america speech about dicks and assholes.

"The model that did more than any to bring computers into the reach of normal folk." - No, that'd be the Spectrum 48K.

Only in the UK. Here I'd be inclined to say that it was about 45% each of the C64 and the BBC micro, with the other 10% Dragons and Atari’s.

Re: programming the C64

Interestingly there was a 12 year old kid who lived across the road from me who used to crack games by hijacking the reboot vector to point to a simple relocatable machine code monitor and forcing a NMI, and write the entire memory out to disk. He now works with open source and wrote a piece of software that I'm sure a lot of people here have heard about, but I'm not going to tell you what it is to protect my anonymity :-)

The C64 wasn’t particularly overpriced, but if you decided to add a 1701 disk drive, a printer and a Commode monitor then the total bill came out at over £1,200, which was an awful lot of money in the early 80's.

Paris, gets POKEd at lot, just like the C64.

So what are you saying?

The NSA key was in NT4, therefore there is nothing like it any other version of windoze?

Some of these 'theories" are over ten years old, therefore they are not happening now?

The Ken Thompson hack of the compiler is very old but it does serve as an example of what can be done. Just remember that mickeysoft is showing the windoze source code to russian, uk and who knows what other secret agencies, I wonder if any of them are making 'recommendations' about the code?

Spying on telecoms traffic has being going on for years, and backdoors in systems have existed for years, and still do exist. There are even some national security agencies that complain to telecoms companies about encrypted traffic being routed through their country, how do they know the communications are encrypted?

FFS, even DES was fiddled with by the NSA to reduce the number of bits in the key, and when IBM found a way to crack it using differential cryptanalysis in 1974 they were asked to keep the method secret.

While most tech-savvy people will disable WPS, most people won’t, probably the same people that don’t use anti-virus, firewalls etc.

What they were thinking:

Maybe this is exactly *what* they were thinking?

FBI paying contractors to insert backdoors into OpenBSD's IPSEC stack

RIM slugging it out with India, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates over access to its encryption

NSA secret back-doors in windows - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci/tech/437967.stm

The Ken Thompson Unix back-door. Put code into the c compiler that checks to see if it's making the login command and then compiles in a back-door, then you also put in code so if you recompile the compiler, it adds the code to do this (add the backdoor and add itself to the c compiler) back in.

Suspicious? Moi? Never!

Sounds like knitting to me

I’m inclined to agree with you, I can’t see how it would be possible to capture a drone by tampering with the GPS signal, first you would have to capture the signal from same GPS satellites (at least 4)that the drone is using to establish position, rebroadcast the signal quickly enough so that the drone does not break lock, then you would have to start 'adjusting' the signal to change the drone's location (a bit like range gate stealing).

Remember that in order to force the drone down you would then have to move it’s reported position a couple of hundred miles _relative_ to it’s proposed landing site, and you have no guarantee that the drone will be programmed to land at the same site it took off from.

Another consideration is what would the drone be programmed to do if its GPS position suddenly shifted a couple of hundred miles, I know I would build in some sort of cross reference between the INS and the GPS to ensure the two system are in agreement with each other.

All in all, the GPS spoofing attack seems highly unlikely, I suspect that some other attack vector was used to bring down the drone and the GPS story is just FUD.

“a foreign university's website”, have you got your head stuck so far up your own arse that you will not read a “foreign” article. Ha! And I thought it was only merkins that suffered form NIH (not invented Here) syndrome.

The 2007 study from the University of Washington was (at the time) a well known academic study of how the copyright mafiaa were detecting so called copyright infringement.

But then why let facts get in the way of your opinion, I usually don’t bother explaining stuff to fucking idiots too lazy to do a bit research or read the article (http://dmca.cs.washington.edu/uwcse_dmca_tr.pdf), but here’s a brief summary just for you.

The researchers at University of Washington monitored the file sharing networks, and even though they were not downloading anything, the copyright mafiaa detected their IP addresses and issued them with over 400 DMCA takedown notices. The researchers concluded that the copyright mafiaa were not actually monitoring what was happening on the networks but merely what IP addresses were visible on the networks.

The report also *DETAILS* how the researchers manipulated I.P. addresses so that three laserjet printers were accused in takedown letters by the M.P.A.A. of downloading copies of “Iron Man” and an Indiana Jones film.

You wart on a twat

Yeah, these spam filters are a pain in the ****[1], as a magna ***[2] laude software spe******st[3] graduate whoever designed these filters should be ******inated[4] and their body thrown in a c****[5] I want to watch the cookery program about pan fried ****ake[6] mushrooms in ****burn's[7] Port.
