The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

So, Sega is the latest in a long string of game companies to be hacked. Bad new for the house of Sonic (even if, in a truly bizarre twist of fate, hacktivist team LulzSec has pledged help in tracking down the perpetrators, in respect of its love of the Dreamcast). But why the huge spate of game company attacks since the PSN debacle? Is it just gaming's turn? Or is it vengeance in return for the woefully inaccurate way gaming has presented the hacking profession over the years?
Because if you believe games, hacking is way more silly, way easier, and way more utterly insane than it is in real life. Evidence? Is it evidence you want? Good. Well I will provide you with some.
Hacking, boiled down to the simplest terms, is a case of navigating through a set of security constructs to get to some nice juicy data. That involves a) problem solving, and b) an adversary of sorts. Both are, in a very loose sense at least, core elements of the video game experience itself, so why not go the whole hog, run them both through the metaphor machine, and turn video game hacking into a game within a game? Not only does this keep the flow of gameplay going, where 'real' hacking would instantly halt it with a blockade of command prompts, but if hacking in a game is an optional pursuit, it actually encourages the player to get involved by making the mechanics a nice little mix-up from the main gameplay.
Above: We put games in your hacks in your games so you can play while you're hacking while you're playing
Also, it promotes the usage of the "Yo, dawg..." meme again. Which is basically fine.
Those command prompts I mentioned above? Forget them. Ever since Tron, that is not how computers work. Oh yeah, you may think that properly exploring all their secrets and mapping their hidden geography requires a decent understanding of computer science and a whole load of programming knowledge, but real computers are absolutely nowhere near as dry as some people would have you believe. All that complicated technical stuff is just a smoke-screen created by those hedonistic, psychedelic experi-nauts in the programming community, in order to keep you out of their bass-throbbing, neon-drenched world of mescalicious digital excess.
Hack a system and you will invariably find yourself whirling through some manner of day-glow cyberspace vortex made out of melted flourescent tubes and the left-over fragments of Timothy Leary's cheese dreams. A computer isn't a tool you use to access information. It's a living digi-cloud of blissed-out synaesthetic mind-joy. And even more excitingly, if your hack fails, you'll either be trapped there forever or you'll die. Which is a bit more glamourous than posting abusive raps on YouTube before eventually settling out of court.
If you're having trouble with your hack, don't worry. Just look around your immediate surroundings. If you see something written backwards on a wall, directly opposite a mirror, that's your password. If not, just scroll through the security cameras (which will be easy to hack) until you find a room with a giant whiteboard in it. It'll probably have "PASSWORD01" written on it in big letters. That's how you'll know it's the right one.
Yeah. As video games have taught us, all computer systems want to be hacked. It's pretty boring for them, just sitting around all day being massive and full of knowledge, and they crave a bit of human interaction. Those mainframes just love indulging in a bout of playful "Riddle me this" action, so as soon as they spot a hacker trying to break in, they'll immediately make friends and start up a little game. Screw those tech security guys and their precious data. They haven't called in months. A video game computer won't give you a blunt "Password incorrect" message before alerting security. It'll tell you which letters you have right and give you a couple more tries to get the rest.
Everything is networked. Fact. If it uses an electrical current, steam-power, or just plain old has moving parts, then it is run online as part of one huge, universal network and can be hacked. Security door, drone turret, fruit machine or novelty cigarette lighter. It doesn't matter what it is. If it is a device and you are a hacker, then you can take control of anything from anywhere and have it do your bidding. No local connection is needed, no specialist hardware is needed. Just log onto GenericNet (tm) using the laptop, smart phone or Tiger LCD game of your choice, and it is yours.
In the real world, this does not work.

That one though won't be live until the campaign ends, to avoid spoilers from my friends on there who play STO.
And just to let you know, I like being able to play the game. I'm not really bothered by these glitches being hyped up by the people in that 185 page thread in the News section of the forums.
Glad I could help. That is my goal in providing constructive feedback on missions.

A mathematical discovery
Published: 04/29/2014
Mathematicans have found a framework for the celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities and their arithmetic properties, solving another long-standing mystery stemming from the work of Indian math genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The findings, by mathematicians at Emory University and the University of Queensland, yield a treasure trove of algebraic numbers and formulas to access them. Algebraic numbers are among the first numbers you encounter in mathematics, says Ken Ono, a number theorist at Emory And yet, its surprisingly difficult to find functions that return them as values in a uniform and systematic way. Ono is the co-author of the new findings, along with S. Ole Warnaar of the University of Queensland and Michael Griffin, an Emory graduate student.

text: LHCb Project Document No CERN CH-1211 Geneva 23 EDMS : 704084 v. 1.0 Switzerland LHCb subsystem TFC Dedicated Experiment for CP violation Study at LHC Date: 2006-02-16 Specification ODIN Raw Data Format R. Jacobsson, PH-LBC ABSTRACT The Readout Supervisor 'ODIN' records global information about each event which is sent to the event building in the form of a standard event fragment. This note specifies the format of the ODIN raw data bank. Keywords: raw data, ODIN, TFC, LHCb Distribution Lists For approval: O. Callot, M. Cattaneo, J. Christiansen, M. Frank, B. Jost, N. Neufeld ODIN Raw Data Format, R. Jacobsson February 16, 2006 ii ODIN Raw Data Format, R. Jacobsson February 16, 2006] Document Status Sheet Version Date Pages Comments or Description of Changes 0.0 2005-04-07 First version (including L0 + L1 information) 1.0 2006-02-15 Update with only L0 trigger iii ODIN Raw Data Format, R. Jacobsson February 16, 2006 ODIN Raw Data Format, R. Jacobsson February 16, 2006 1 ODIN Front-End ODIN[1] incorporates a Front-End analogous to a TELL1/UKL1 board in order to record local event information and provide the DAQ system with the data on an event-by-event basis. The "ODIN Raw Data Bank" contains centrally recorded information about the identity, the source and some information about the quality of an event. The event fragments are packed as standard Multi Event Packets (MEPs) [2] and they are merged with the rest of the event data during the event building. The ODIN front-end processing is shown in Figure 1. The data recorded at each L0 trigger accept is transmitted to the ODIN Front-End via the Front-End Buffer (FEB). Additional non-synchronous information is added during the preparation of the MEP. The MEP is transmitted upon reception of the IP destination from the MEP Destination Broadcaster implemented on ODIN. Figure 1: Block diagram of the front-end processing 2 ODIN Raw Data Format, R. Jacobsson February 16, 2006] 2 ODIN Raw Data Format The MEP transport format is described in [2] and all details concerning the information and preparation of the ODIN MEPs are described in [1]. ODIN organizes the event fragment data according to the common raw data format [3]. Table 1 shows a completely expanded view of the ODIN raw bank header and the contents of the data bank. Table 1: Contents of the ODIN event fragment raw data bank. The first two words contain the standard raw bank header. Word 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 #H0 Size in bytes Magic Patter = 0xCBCB #H1 Source ID = "ODIN S/N" Version = 2 Type = 0x10 #D0 Run Number #D1 L0 Event ID (31 .. 0) #D2 L0 Event ID (63 .. 32) #D3 Orbit Number #D4 Bunch ID #D5 GPS Time (31 .. 0) #D6 GPS Time (63 .. 32) #D7 Error Bits (see below) BX Type F Trigger Type #D8 Detector Status #D9 Bunch Current Partition ID: The partition ID is contained in the MEP header and "2" for the TFC system. Source ID: The source ID is set by the ECS and will most likely be the serial number of the ODIN board driving the readout partition. Type: The type field is used by the offline to know the type of the event bank. For ODIN it is defined to be 16. Run Number: The run number is set by the ECS on a start of a run. L0 Event ID: The L0 Event ID is incremented on every L0 trigger accept and starts from 0 at a start of a run. In the current scheme the L0 Event ID is reset on a front-end electronics reset which means that, unless the run number is changed, several events may have the same L0 Event ID within a run, that is a set of events marked with the same Run Number. Orbit Number: The orbit number is incremented on each turn of the LHC beams as marked by bunch crossing 0. The orbit number is currently reset on each start of run. Together with the Bunch ID they form an exact definition of the relative time of an event with respect to the start of run. It may be used as an alternative during times when the GPS time is not available. GPS Time: The GPS time is received as a 64 bit UTC time via the Beam Synchronous Timing system [4] every turn of the LHC. For this reason an offset must be calibrated and applied locally in 3 ODIN Raw Data Format, R. Jacobsson February 16, 2006 LHCb. The purpose of the GPS time is to allow correlating the physics events to slow control events. Therefore, even if the GPS time is given as the number of microseconds since 1970-01-01, it should be considered to have a resolution of the order of an LHC turn (~100 μs). Trigger Type: The trigger type is encoded on three bits and indicates the source of the trigger [1]. Force Bit (F): The force bit is used to ensure that some events, typically for test and calibration, may be forced to be accepted by all triggers and logged. BX Type: The expected bunch crossing type is encoded on two bits (no beam, single beam left, single beam right, beam crossing) and is produced by an internal sequencer which is loaded by the ECS system. Error Bits: Currently only two error bits have been defined: • Bit 0: Synchronization error on the Bunch ID between the L0DU and ODIN. • Bit 1: The event with synchronization error has been forced irrespective of the trigger decision. Detector Status: ODIN has a 24-bit input which allows each sub-detector to provide 2-bit encoded status information [5]. Bunch Current: Normalized bunch current per bunch crossing as measured by a Beam Phase and Intensity Monitor [6] connected to the local beam pick-ups at point 8. The information is encoded on 8 bits which would allow recording a relative measurement with a 4-bit resolution per beam. The information will be delayed by exactly one entire LHC turn. The total size of the ODIN raw bank is thus 48 bytes. Including the MEP sub-header, the MEP header, the IP protocol, and aligning it to a multiple of four bytes this means 100 bytes per single event MEPs and 880 bytes for MEPs with a packing factor of 16. 4 ODIN Raw Data Format, R.

Why bother?
I'm not sure I see the point of this. You're going to need a full size screen anyway. Why not cut out the computer part and just use of of those little USB screens like that one from D-Link.
Can it be used as an actual keyboard on an existing system?
I vote for an official El Reg name for this
The EeeBoard
See what I did there?
its come full circle
Better yet, I'll dig out my old c64...
Another improvement?
Why not build in a pico projector with an optional screen of the sort that folds up like a car child's sunscreen?

Illusions, which stars magician Jan Rouven, draws gasps from wide-eyed audiences with trickery and dangerous stunts that earned the production the top spot on Pocket Vegas's Vegas Top 10 Shows. A playlist of current songs, including Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and Katy Perry's "E.T.," pulses throughout the theater as Rouven and his five glamorous assistants perform jaw-dropping feats, such as escaping a water tank while handcuffed and chained to a light-sleeping shark. The illusionists also raise heart rates with stunts that call for audience participation, such as the hand stab, a Russian roulette–inspired game that requires a sharp knife and nerves of steel.
The illusions are awesome, the dancers, the show and production are very entertaining! Jan puts on a heck of a show and is def. a master of his craft.Flgcas05, TripAdvisor, 4/28/12
Not only is Jan a great illusionist and performer, but he is also funny and very friendly.CJ N, TripAdvisor, 5/22/12

04:11 PM by Alexander Turcic in Miscellaneous | Announcements
Ladies and Gentlemen,
MobileRead will be offline for server migration work this coming Sunday at 3:00am EST for approximately one to two hours.
We'll be moving our equipment to a new location somewhere scenic very close to New York City. That's right, au revoir Canada, you served us well in the past. Yet time has come to embrace new opportunities with more competitive and better hosting options.
In preparation, we've lowered the time-to-live values of our DNS entries to a minimum, hoping for the best that your local ISP will quickly pick up our new IP address.
Until then... keep calm and fingers crossed!
Yours faithfully,

(1) The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde
From LibriVox:
The American Minister and his family have bought the English stately home Canterville Chase, complete with the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville - blood-stains, clanking chains and all. But these modern Americans will have no truck with ghostly goings-on, and set out to beat the spectre at his own game. (Summary by David Barnes)
(2) The Altar of the Dead by Henry James
From Wikipedia
"The Altar of the Dead" is a short story by Henry James, first published in his collection Terminations in 1895. A fable of literally life and death significance, the story explores how the protagonist tries to keep the remembrance of his dead friends, to save them from being forgotten entirely in the rush of everyday events. He meets a woman who shares his ideals, only to find that the past places what seems to be an impassable barrier between them. Although James was not religious in any conventional sense, the story shows a deep spirituality in its treatment of mortality and the transcendent power of unselfish love.
(3) Mistletoe in Manhattan: A Christmas Story by Talli Roland
Holly may never be able to forget this Christmas . . . even if she wants to.
As Little Missington's first Christmas baby in fifty years and the daughter of Christmas When You Like It party-planners, Holly West has been surrounded by the holiday spirit since birth. Trouble is, she's not exactly filled with festive cheer. In fact, Holly can't wait to ditch the tinsel and Santa suits for champagne and celebs, and become a party-planner to the stars.
When British TV star Dean Layton hires her parents' company to throw his holiday bash in Manhattan, Holly jumps at the chance to help, confident she can handle a little Christmas in exchange for access to Dean's exclusive world.
But New York and Dean's over-the-top demands are more than Holly bargained for. Can Holly deck the halls and make it a party to be proud of, or will this Christmas be one she'll never forget . . . even if she wants to?
(4) The Cricket on the Hearth by Charles Dickens
"I have read that this (and not A Christmas Carol) was Dickens' most popular Christmas story during his lifetime."

We also support Mid American Indian Fellowship and its ministry to Native Americans.
Locally, Overland Baptist regularly sends volunteers to work in American Red Cross blood drives and to the local Meals on Wheels program. We also regularly send volunteers to help sort food at The St. Louis Food Bank warehouse and at a Bosnian Food Pantry in St. Louis. Mission projects at Overland Baptist Church are promoted by our Women's Missionary Union.
Overland Baptist Church does several annual community service projects. In the fall we conduct an annual school supply drive benefiting local elementary schools. We conduct a Halloween Trunk or Treat project as part of the local Safe Streets initiative. At Christmas we host a community-wide party for all local families with special needs children. Every summer we conduct Kids Club, an program that's a lot like Vacation Bible School except that it's conducted in a local city park.

Loyola Public Historians Featured at the NCPH Conference
Loyola public historians descended on Monterey, California for the National Council on Public History annual conference (March 19-22).
Professor Theodore Karamanski led the roundtable "Sustaining Public History through Community Engagement," which featured MA student Kim Connelly Hicks and PhD student Rachel Boyle. Kim joined MA student Laura Pearce in presenting the poster "Addressing Absences: Exhibiting African American Suffragists." Laura received one of only five graduate student travel awards from the NCPH. PhD student Will Ippen and the NCPH Task Force on Public History and Environmental Sustainability discussed the group's white paper. Will was also co-facilitator with Devin Hunter, PhD candidate, of the working group "Innovative Reuse in the Post-Industrial City." And Devin was selected as a "Drop-in Digital Consultant" for using historical Census data and basic GIS mapping.
In an effort to keep up with all the excitement in Monterey, Loyola attendees live-blogged highlights at the graduate student blog The Lakefront Historian. While not exactly a substitute for the California coast, the blog was worth the follow!

"I'll be back," is no longer just Arnold Schwarzenegger's most famous movie quote and catchphase. It's now his main business model. While doing a Q&A in England last weekend, Schwarzenegger announced there was another potential sequel in his future: 'The Running Man,' his 1987 sci-fi thriller based on a novel by Stephen King about a dark future where criminals compete for their lives on reality television (that dark future, apparently, was the year 2014).
The "woman walking through the city" video trend began with the now-infamous catcalling experiment and has now grown in creativity. Like this one.
Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving communities of costuming that exist, such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. Over the years, the cosplay community has evolved into a creative outlet for many fans to establish and showcase some impressive feats of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics at conventions. In honor of the caped crusaders of the convention scene, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), an ongoing collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we've discovered and assembled into a super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.
You're gonna hear this guy roar.
A sequel to 1994's 'Dumb and Dumber' seemed like a silly idea until 'Dumb and Dumber To' went and made $36 million in its opening weekend. Now, the sky is the limit for the aging idiots played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and the thought of a third film ('Dumb and Dumberer' is not official canon) doesn't seem all that crazy. In fact, the new film is already waaay ahead of you. If you stuck around through the end credits of 'Dumb and Dumber To,' you already know that the post-credits scene teases a theoretical third entry in the series.
Another out of this world stargazing opportunity...ruined by Maine weather...
