Latency was also reduced still further simply due to the masses of bandwidth FiOS offers compared to bog standard ADSL: in our case, 25mbps."
Maybe you want to look for a better ADSL provider. 25mbps is not much faster than a good ADSL2+ line.
I'm on the FIOS 35/35 plan. Depending on the server I'm connecting to I get between 12 and 30 mbps up and 25 and 100 mbps down on FIOS without my neighbors interfering with my speed during the day. Can you say the same on ADSL2+?
Actually it's more like someone walks into your unlocked house, steals a bunch of dvd's, makes copies and sells them on the street and you get fined because you didn't fulfill your supposed "obligation" as a consumer of a product to make sure no one pirated copyrighted material.
No matter how you look at it, it's bullshit.
What little you know is less than you think. Here's how it works
Defendant is arraigned and given a bail amount
Bail bondsman pays a percentage (normally 10%) of that amount to the court. This money could come from their own pocket or it could come from a surety company.
Defendant misses court date and is therefore in forfeiture of the bond and a bench warrant is issued.
The bail bondsman has X days, set by the court, to return the defendant to custody or they lose the money they put down.
The bail bondsman could cooperate with the police to get the bad guy. Most bonds are for minor violations though and the police have more pressing issues most of the time. Nor do they care about the deadline for returning the defendant. They aren't likely to do the paperwork necessary just to track a cell phone or wiretap a phone to find the guy on the behalf of a bondsman or to get it done in the timeframe he needs.
So the bondsman, if he doesn't think he can get the bad guy back in time hires a bounty hunter with the promise of a bounty if they return the guy in time. The bounty hunter can't really cooperate with the police or ask for their help. If he does he'll have to share information he has with them and if the police pick the guy up first he loses the bounty.
The system puts bondsman and police somewhat at loggerheads on this. They don't often do favors for each other. Nor do most police offices have the necessary tech to make a spoofed call.
Bail bondsman/bounty hunters do not have access to cell phone location data. Police do but even then it isn't as good as convincing the fugitive to meet you at a place of your choosing instead of their "hideout" which may be more dangerous.
Bail bondsman, police, etc. attempting to locate a fugitive without spooking them. A call from Mom is more likely to be answered than one from Bounty Hunter Bill.
it's use for population control isn't just for conspiracy theorists anymore! Using evolution to destroy the human race is evil!
Jesse Ventura said so... I dare you to contradict him! Unless you're Chuck Norris in which case I just say "neener neener" so you can understand me.
Did anyone else read that as "Canadian Blood Sausages Promote Pseudo-science"?
I was staggered. I mean, first it was global warming (ClimateGate) and now meat products (GrinderGate)? My worldview was devastated for a moment.
Wow. So in a game about terrorists people are surprised when terrorists kill civilians? Either games are free to depict reality/alternative reality or they are only free to depict things that don't scare/offend/mock/humiliate/annoy some people. Give me a break.
The proper response to this news is not to push for regulation. It's Comcast's network they can do what they like with the data so long as what they are doing is part of the customer agreement the user signed up for.
The proper response to this news is to push for anti-trust prosecution against Comcast, Time Warner, et al who are running monopolies in their markets and force competition. Whether that is in the form of forcing them to allow unrestricted usage of their network (for a fee of course) by competitors a la the power grid or some other form. It is not data shaping that is really the issue. It is lack of competitive choice for customers.
You can also stimulate nerve endings to simulate burning pain or itching. Does the ability to stimulate the receptors for various things in our body mean that they do not really exist?
Excellent. I agree. If the banks are facing a large fraud problem and want to stop it distribute such a device and card with all new accounts. Even if the bank covers all cost at $100 US per client, that would still be cheaper than losing money via fraud, lawsuits, prosecution of fraud, etc. Or limit online acess... require the user to have this hardware and charge them 50% of the cost. I would personally buy it to protect myself.
Great post.
And I'm here to check your computer's security for the bank.
What a wonderful opportunity for social engineering granny's password. Idiots. The only way they can realistically do this is if they force install of their own application to handle all bank transactions with strong encryption of everything going on and some sort of built in way to break keyloggers. As is it is completely unrealistic and creates more security holes than it closes. The whole "we will never ask you for your password" idea will be gone as you will be expected to report pins, passwords, etc. to make sure you picked a good one.

That's with a server, four pcs and two gaming consoles connected to the internet on my home network by the way.

And tower triangulation simply isn't accurate enough. If they're on the lam they most likely have GPS turned off.

but my sample set is sort of small, and definitely skewed to the cultural norms of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Shouldn't the passwords then be found held by a hamster or gerbil at the end of a dark tunnel?
Get rid of the fucking SlashRoulette.

What about glare? It seems that this roadway would be a thoroughfare of glare. A nightmare of shine. The DOT counter to polarized shades.
