When the FBI seizes millions of dollars in cash from some warehouse at the heart of an urban drug cartel, the money winds up in a government building somewhere and eventually finds its way into a government bank account, where it helps finance all sorts of government stuff, like the next FBI drug bust.The Ultimate Bitcoin Question Can the Feds Spend $3.3M in Seized Digital Currency?
But what happens when the feds bust an online drug marketplace and confiscate millions of dollars in bitcoins, the wildly popular digital currency that doesn’t exactly align with the government’s way of doing things — and so often serves as a convenient means of money laundering? What will become of the $3.3 million in bitcoins the FBI seized after shutting down the Silk Road early last week — not to mention the $80 million or so in bitcoins they’ve yet to seize from the personal account of the man who allegedly ran the online drug bazaar?
Considering you need around 3+ amps at 12V to drive them, exactly how much energy would you save by having everyone wear these instead of just having more efficient AC?-4wd (December 05, 2013, 08:54 PM)
Analysis Google no longer understands how its "deep learning" decision-making computer systems have made themselves so good at recognizing things in photos.
This means the internet giant may need fewer experts in future as it can instead rely on its semi-autonomous, semi-smart machines to solve problems all on their own.
Exclusive One of Google's most advanced data center systems behaves more like a living thing than a tightly controlled provisioning system. This has huge implications for how large clusters of IT resources are going to be managed in the future.
"Emergent" behaviors have been appearing in prototypes of Google's Omega cluster management and application scheduling technology since its inception, and similar behaviors are regularly glimpsed in its "Borg" predecessor, sources familiar with the
Despite NASA’s repeated instructions to the Hubble to look for evidence of water on distant planets, the telescope continued to produce more and more self-portraits, posting them to its Instagram and Twitter accounts along with the hashtag #pimpin.

Forget Black Friday, this is video of an electronics store in Germany as they let buyers in to pick up the new playstation 4.
I think I would have phrased the Amazon Delivery by Drone question in the FAQ as "is this for f***ing real?" versus just asking if it was science fiction...

In other words, it's a thumb of a nose to government eavesdroppers at the National Security Agency. Twitter didn't explicitly mention that bit in its Friday blog announcement, but it did link to an article from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) that called out the NSA by name for its "upstream," long-term data storage capabilities.
"Every Web server that uses HTTPS has its own secret key that it uses to encrypt data that it sends to users," wrote EFF activist Parker Higgins. "Specifically, it uses that secret key to generate a new 'session key' that only the server and the browser know. Without that secret key, the traffic traveling back and forth between the user and the server is incomprehensible, to the NSA and to any other eavesdroppers."
"But imagine that some of that incomprehensible data is being recorded anyway—as leaked NSA documents confirm the agency is doing," he continued. "An eavesdropper who gets the secret key at any time in the future—even years later—can use it to decrypt all of the stored data! That means that the encrypted data, once stored, is only as secure as the secret key, which may be vulnerable to compromised server security or disclosure by the service provider."
The fun of perfect forward secrecy is that the aforementioned session keys are generated individually for each Web session. Were someone to acquire said key, it would only really be useful to decrypt a single session of Twitter access. One could still decrypt a ton of past communications, but it would require access to the corresponding ton of keys, not just one SSL key.
LONDON -- An IT worker threw out a computer hard drive without realizing it contained $7.5 million worth of the digital currency Bitcoin.
The device is now buried somewhere in a vast landfill site near the home of owner James Howells -- who only realized his mistake when it was too late.
Yesterday's update to Sandboxie 4.02 introduces a much requested feature: full 64-bit protection. Sandboxie previously offered protection on 64-bit systems through its Experimental Protection feature which used semi-official kernel interfaces for that. Since those interfaces were not fully documented the feature was tagged as experimental.
The release of Sandboxie 4.02 changes that as the program is now offered full protection for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Windows operating system. The developer has removed the Experimental Protection features as a consequence in the latest version of Sandboxie
