I wonder if they are going to open source the entire project, hardware and all? I guess I'll hold out and wait and see what kind of license they use on this before I "donate"...
I have been looking to build something similar. The closest thing to what I'd like to see is the ISEE IGEP MODULE http://www.igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=109&Itemid=123 If this had a Standard USB Type A plug rather than the miniAB it could plug directly into a computer, connect to Wifi (for Internet access), and then Enumerate a Ethernet device over USB. This would provide a basic USB Wifi module as well as providing a powerful Linux computer in-line.
It's sad that there doesn't seem to be any reference files for the ISEE IGEP MODULE. It looks like I'll have to scale down a larger development kit. I really think there is a market for such a product...
Yeah, yeah... It's still illegal to break(?) into someone's house even if they leave the door open, but it does really make Sony look a bit foolish. Bring on the lawsuits!
OMG My lvl 75 Warrior Mage Presit was hacked, and I'm missing 3 bags of plenty and all my GOLD!!!!! (lol)
This is just another example of Google trying to keep control of an OSS project. Ultimately the truth is they cannot. If they comply with the OSS licenses in play they have to release it and this will allow ANYONE to use Android as a platform. With that said they can keep people from using the trademark "with Google" off such devices (who cares?). If Google wanted to keep things closed they should have forked something with a BSD style license, like Apple did. It looks like Google wants to eat their cake and have it to... But a company cannot advertise based on being "open" and do everything to keep things under their control at the same time without looking like a hypocrite to the OSS community. Google wants to try and ensure their paying customer that they are getting a superior product without earning that respect, like Red Hat has.
How do they realistically expect to control the hardware platform when ANYONE can install Android on any device? Honeycomb may be optimized for tablets but no doubt we will see smart phones running it. I for one am happy as this will be another opportunity to show our Google overloads that we don't care about the "with Google" trademark.
The US legal system takes to heart the phrase "innocent until proven guilty" not to be confused with "innocent unless proven guilty". This mentality leads to a slippery slope of removing civil libirties until they can make their case. You are guilty right? They just haven't proven it yet.
I have the right to remain silent, how are they going to identify me by my voice?
The way Disney was able to defend the rights to Mickey Mouse is that Mickey has been continousley modified throughout its existance. Thus renewing the copyright each time. It looks like to me that the value in Betty Boop is that doesn't change.
Don't get me wrong I don't like this tactic as it gives big companies, like Disney, the ability to retain rights to a chracter indefintly.
I cannot speak for other states but in Texas you can fire and be fired for "NO reason". In fact anyone who fires someone for any reason other than "NO reason" is just asking for trouble. If the fired employee can prove that it was actually for a reason protected under law then they still have a case but telling them what the specific reason was is just asking for it.
"I'm sorry we are going to have to let you go." "Why?" "No reason, we just won't be using your services anymore." - is perfectly reasonable and requires no further explanation.
You might find yourself wondering "Did Company X fire me for saying I liked brand Y more on Facebook?" but unless you can prove it then good luck...
Nothing is perfect but what you described is pretty close. I used to work for an ISP in the 90's and we had something similar. We figured if things ever got "so hosed" we would be booting into single user mode from the console so root's encrypted password was disabled (started with an *) so there was no logging in as root. The closest thing to root was accounts that had the ability to sudo visudo but all sudo was logged remotely via syslog.
This does point out the one security risk that has to be accepted and that is: physical access directly equates to root access.
You also have to be careful about what kind of access you allow with sudo. For example:
If you give a user the ability to "sudo vi/somedir/somfile.txt" there is nothing to keep them, nor any log of them, reading in any other file and writing it back out to any other file once the vi has launched... so doing so is the same as giving them access to "sudo vi". Believe me this gets tricky!!
If it didn't start off as a version of MTR, as discussed, then it's possible that this is a fork of a previous version. This is a pretty common practice.
It can get you banned from casinos but the police couldn't care less. It's just that the casinos have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
I understand that driving is a privilege and therefore you give up certain rights when driving. In MA it's illegal to text and drive, don't know how they would actually enforce such a law. I cannot imagine a scenario where it would be illegal for a passenger in a vehicle to do anything with their phone they wanted to. It doesn't sound like this technology is going to differentiate between a driver and a passenger just if the vehicle is moving or not, sounds pretty lame to me!
I don't think technology can fix this it will only frustrate consumers forcing them to go to extra measures to make their devices behave as they want (jailbreaking, etc).
The problem is not limited to high-school. It was not until my post-grad studies did I start learning real computer science. Most of what I learned in my undergraduate studies was IT.
At its heart Computer Science is Applied Mathematics and is closer to Physics than IT. With that said I am currently working in IT as are many with advanced CS degrees so maybe that is where the confusion stems from...
From the article: "How quickly RPKI will be adopted is unknown." How arrogant is that? Wouldn't it be better to say "It is unknown if RPKI will be adopted or not."
The beauty of the Internet is also its greatest weakness, a lack of centralized control. Who do they think runs the "Internet"? I'd like to apply for that job:)
This won't work, this is what DNS fixes. The problem is that sometime after bookmarking it the site's IP address changes and thus breaks the link.
Also, your solution moves from one central authority to another, from DNS to search engine.
I'd like to keep using the current system but supplement it with an alternate one. If you want to get to torrents, etc, use the alternate system. New TLDs, new DNS, new certificate authorities, etc. Let whoever wants to run search engines.
The big question is how do we keep the new system from being influenced like the current one has?

YAH! The future is here!
fifth element: "You have 5 points on your license."
True because that would make you a zombie!!
Dammit! ... They are using the Chewbacca defense!

Since we care nature cares (humans being a part of nature) and that is the "way it is".
They have to release the code but they do not have to make it easy for people to use it.

It was recently reported that the sky is BLUE and the Earth is NOT FLAT!!! File this under "DUH!"

So someone steals a baby Jesus with a hidden GPS tracker in it that gets stolen. After tracking them down what happens, they forgive them?
