Schneier on Security: U.S. Drones Have a Computer Virus

DCinemaTools did report on the massive military breakin a couple years ago, vectored with a USB key into a secure network…with the idea that, “Gee, I wonder if that could happen to a cinema network?” This is the latest on that story.

Free International DCinema Business Directory…How To…

Leave a comment

Pull down any menu to “Business Directory”. The new window has an “Add New” button which you should click.

The new window has a Select Category button, which you should click.

Here is the not so User Cuddly part…at least for Apple people…click on the “+” sign of the main category, then click on the category that you choose to identify yourself with. Click “Add Category”. You can add multiple categories by repeating the selection process. Good luck and yes, it is Darwinian. When you are ready, click Close.

The rest of the form is somewhat obvious.

Again with the registered and logged in issue. If a registered and logged in PR person adds your account information (for example), only that PR person will be able to modify the information. Yes; the editor can do it also. Contact me. In fact, let me know how this worked out and how to make it better.

Thanks,

Faster FFT @ MIT

Your milage may have the variance of introduced Gaussian noise.

No other comment except to point out that the papers were presented at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics [SIAM: ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA12)] along with dozens of other papers, including:

  • A Little Advice Can Be Very Helpful Arkadev Chattopadhyay, Jeff Edmonds, Faith Ellen and Toniann Pitassi
  • Popularity vs Maximum cardinality in the stable marriage setting Telikepalli Kavitha
  • Race to Idle: New Algorithms for Speed Scaling with a Sleep State Susanne Albers and Antonios Antoniadis
Joking aside, there were many interesting sounding papers:

From the UK, this discussion has gone from theory to practical. A member of the House of Lords has discussed the “licensing” of blogs…calling them, “The Wild Wild West” because bloggers have been known to be stealing cows and shooting pedestrians in the towns and rugged valleys of the internet.
