    If a participant is involved in an accident, will anyone besides parents and their teens have access to the audio and video?
    It is possible American Family might request Teen Safe Driver output from customers in some situations involving the claims process, for instance, as part of an accident investigation. The information also is subject to being subpoenaed by other parties in a legal proceeding.

    Which in reality means the very people you wouldn't want to show the video to will be able to see it.

    This is old news, I've even seen references to this before that. Also it has nothing to do with RFC 2549 other than birds carrying bits.

    I'm only quoting the article in response to grandparent saying AES was listed, which it wasn't.

    Article:

    Both attacks work only on WPA systems that use the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) algorithm. They do not work on newer WPA 2 devices or on WPA systems that use the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.

  9. Re:I guess I should prepare for extinction then on Standalone GPS Receivers Going the Way of the Dodo · · Score: 1

    You would think that more people would understand the points you have raised already but apparently not. It seems a lot of commenters here have this assumption that all GPS implementations are one-in-the-same, it's the same illogical generalisation used by those who view look upon many other devices, such as phones and laptops, but know nothing about them. Do people really think that their phone really has the power and space to have the same GPS as a dedicated standalone unit with matching accuracy, precision and speed?

    That's a bit unfair, not everyone has access to the internet, it's not ubiquitous as everyone likes to think, grand parent was also using an international context and this is even more of a problem outside of the US. I can barely get proper cellphone coverage where I am let alone any sort of wireless internet.

  14. Re:one word on UK "Creative Industries" Call For File-Sharers Ban · · Score: 1

    this is civil law which means its about money and with civil law you can keep appealing (with grounds of course) till someone runs out of money/gives up.

    That's a flaw of the adversarial system, the standard of proof in civil litigation is a fact must be proved on the balance of probabilities with the evidence before the court.

  17. Kdawson Rubbish again on Time For Voice-Mail To Throw In the Towel · · Score: 1

    I don't get this, this is a continual pattern with kdawson, seems to live in the border world of reality teetering on the fore front of technology but is some how blind to everything else.
    Voicemail is used everywhere all around the world, just because a few people are using a better alternative doesn't mean that everyone else is.
    I wish kdawson would stop these articles about "the end is nigh!" for different variants of technology just because an alternative is available. Articles with an undertone like this are absolute garbage and contribute nothing and simply show how out of touch kdawson is with the everyday reality of technology.

    Second Life has problems with these suits and the courts...

    "Problems" as in "Frivolous litigation"... it's stated in the Terms of Service what the Linden Dollar is meant to be and I don't see how text of the terms can be considered illegal, unless you know of some court precedent or piece of legislation I don't.

    1.4 Second Life "currency" is a limited license right available for purchase or free distribution at Linden Lab's discretion, and is not redeemable for monetary value from Linden Lab.

    http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php
    I believe you are probably referring to the Bragg v. Linden Lab case in which forced arbitration was ruled out (Also featured on Slashdot). It had more to do with "land ownership" rather than the "limited license right" associated with the "Linden Dollar". The ratio decidendi of this decision has enough significant differences for it to not influence the legal underpinnings of the Linden Dollar, so I'm not really sure about the basis of your opinion unless I've missed something.
