It can tell how many wireless nodes are connected to a given access point, as well as that point's total load. AirTraf is capable, too, of polling a number of sniffers through a central polling server in order to collect the most current information.
As useful as this is, its not going todo much to detect or stop the fact that these are just radio waves. And you can't "detect" a hunk of metal out there picking up on them. Almost all new cards are capable of being put into RF monitor mode and sniffing raw 802.11b frames without transmitting anything.
Prism II and Cisco based cards can do it out of the box. Orinoco cards can do it with a patched driver (patched orinoco-cs on linux, WildPackets driver on Windows).
On top of that, AirSnort now compiles on Windows. Its not a fun/easy setup and still has a lot of problems, but it works.
I'm writing code for a program that is targetted at computer illiterate users, often with machines that were donated to them and these machines are almost exclusively Windows machines.
The simple fact of the matter is, end users who lack technical know-how would be simply throwing their hands up in despair if they had to work on linux machines. And "tech support" is on the other side of the world and would require a satellite phone call.
And yet, these totally and completely computer illiterate people who are too poor to afford a computer are doing something so complex they would need support if they were given a gnome based box (lets just deal with frontends here k?), but these computer illiterate people are magiclly figuring out windows? Moreover, Windows where they aren't restricted at all in what they can delete or screw up?
The free software was never there to drive out because it was too hard to set up and use.
Maybe you mean that these people wouldn't be able to setup new hardware and software? The hardware and software they were too poor to afford in the first place? My guess is the last time you heard anything about linux was 5 years ago in Wired magazine where they said it was just too hard, so you blew it off because you were too busy with your nose buried in a VB book to learn it.
You're "writing code" yet linux is too hard for you? I fear the quality of the software you are introducing to these people. People who can't afford tech support when your bad code breaks thier box and they don't know how to get rid of it.
But then, you're a "missionary", you can just tell them the bugs were introduced by Satan and that only through prayer and brainwashing could they ever hope to exorsize these demons.
You might be non-profit, but don't kid yourself into thinking your "mission" is without alterior motives from those in power.
Thank you folks, I'll be hear all night! Remember, the 9:30 show is completely different from the 7:30 show!
Yeah, you know how well that works right? Depending on how the debt works: if the agency bought the debt, the collection agency will just sell it off to another collection agency and make some of thier money back.
If the law firm or corperation has hired a collection agency, the agency informs them they've been sent a cease communications letter. The company then hires another agency. (probably this one)
You know, I don't know this guy, or have any mod points, but its really sad this was modded a troll as it obviously isn't. Maybe off topic, but in that case its just as off topic as the post he's replying to. I can tell you if this comes up in meta mod its getting an Unfair. BTW: the_gnat, you'd be less likely to get modded down on stuff like this if you avoided cursing. Just a tip.
Well in that case, its even more useless since very little of what we hear on a daily basis, more to the point, from a computer, is human speech. usually what we are trying to repicate is music or sound effects, not limited to the small range of tones and sounds a human can produce.
Here here to the longboard. I ride my long board to school everyday. Although I bought a car, I can't afford to live close enough to school to skate there. Moreover, I can't afford a fucking segway (and my parents aren't about to help out with that). As a college student my $100 long board was probably one of my better investments, hell, i spend more than that on alcohol. As for homeboy up there, fixing your daddy's buddies computers does NOT constitute network consulting, nor does running cat5 to your room and the living room. Quit being a wuss and go get a real job (yes, some of us had real jobs @ 15)
ok, i will. Why would you get the MOST realistic sound by modelling the human sound apparatus. Sounds weren't meant only for human ears, nor are all human ears exactly the same. You would get the MOST realistic sound by modeling whatever the sound is coming from. Moreover your ideas of realistic sound are just silly since human hearing is so imperfect anyway (ask your dog)
I still don't consider that a _good_ thing. I think its a terrible terrible thing. The justice system shouldn't have to be like that. It is a means to an end, and in this case I don't believe the means are justified by the end. Plus thats not whats going to happen. They'll likely just settle it.
Actually you probably wouldn't, since your taxable income would be $0. What he's talking about is sort of like a record store that allows unlimited refunds and exchanges, the store collects $10, but then pays it right back out when the person brings the CD back. They might be taxed on the other $9000 that they used to buy the CDs, but maybe not because it could be written off as a business expense. More over, they might be able to get a not-for-profit status if this was something they allowed the general public to get in on. What I wonder is how you would handle new inventory, people are going to get bored of the same cds over and over. I mean, assuming you got a really good deal on the CDs at $10 a piece, thats still only 900 CDs, with 100 people in the group. Obviously, people aren't going to like all 900 albums. I can see the selection getting pretty old pretty fast
Wow, I've heard of being late slashdot, but dynamism has been carrying this thing for as long as I can remember.
"Sony says they had no intention of releasing this prototype computer/camera for general sale. That is, until the flood of interest at PC Expo 2000 Tokyo. It was quite a show for the GT3/K; whether a brilliant marketing tactic or just pure good decision-making by Sony, we're very pleased with the outcome."
Its still pretty cool though. Btw, here is a link to the dynamism page. Or is this supposed to be an article about an american release of the same product?
People with actual lives use whatever version of Windows came on the computer they ordered from Dell. They don't have a clue how it works and they don't care as long as it came loaded with IE and Outlook Express.
IT goons who are afraid they're going to lose thier NT admin job use RedHat or Mandrake to show the boss they're learning something new.
People who have been using linux for years, know how stuff works, and aren't interested in learning it again use Debian.
People that are used to BSD but crave the hardware support and ease of Linux use Gentoo.
The only reason I would have to use LSF is if I'm building a highly custom or single purpose machine where I need to know they exact layout and versions of everything installed from the beginning. Then I can just let it sit and never upgrade it.
Subjective terms. Plus they sent one message that didn't contain a threat. And one single message is hardly harassment on any level. Though i do find the message "otherwise objectionable"
Ah, so now they've told him what he was a witness to.
"Sir, we believe you're a witness to a crime"
...A month and a half later...
"We believe YOU commited that crime, and therefore are a witness. See, totally legal. So we just held you here, in solitary, until we figured out what we wanted to charge you with. No, you may not see a copy of the consitution"

Um, if you have this idea that most major research universities are raking in the bucks, you're sorely mistaken. The fact is, they do this sort of thing to pay the bills. You're a tax payer, this is something YOU should want, so the universities don't have to rely as much on state/federal funding. Granted we still rely heavily on it.
Or maybe you think we just spend too much? Do students really need access to computers? Do teachers really deserve thier pay? Why don't we cut back on things like new equiptment or educator training. We could just get less qualified teachers and let the ones we have go work for large corperations and keep all thier work to themselves.
Or maybe you think tuition should pay it all? Then your taxes can go towards those government subsidised loans and grants.
Or maybe you think those loans and grants shouldn't be given out. Then you could have a country full of the uneducated, or they'd have to teach even more to kids in highschool...which you pay for.
I'm not sure exactly where you were trying to go with that rant. Do you really know what you want?
SCO sells a linux distrobution. When you actually think about it, SCO is distributing GPL'd code right? Now regardless of it containing thier IP, they're calling the stuff they're selling GPL. I don't know exactly how the legalities of it would work though:
1) For the sake of arguement lets say that IBM take code out of AIX and put it into linux
2) IBM calls this code GPL'd
3) SCO starts selling the code that IBM put into linux, again, calling it GPL'd.
4) Here's where it gets fishy. What does SCO actually mean here, do they mean, under the GPL we should be allowed to use this code, SCO said so, right in the license they gave out with the software. So do they mean using the code is OK, you just can't use the IDEAS implemented in the code?
4) Now it looks to me, like SCO has accepted the fact that this code is fair game, they even sold it under the same license.
5) SCO decides, no, we were wrong and didn't actually KNOW what we were selling. Turns out it belonged to us the entire time, and although we said it was GPL'd, we actually meant something totally different and now we want money for it?
Go suck a sausage Aaron, no one will ever forgive you, EVER.
In case any of you missed it, ardiri up there was the author of the only Palm virus (thats right, he was the only one to sink that low).
He would hang out in the Palm channels on EfNet and give it out to people looking for cracks to his software. Yet somehow he decided that none of these people would ever give it out to anyone else? Of course, he told the media a different story, that he only gave to it friends, but even the media put "'s around the word friends.
You could equate this to being proof of concept and that he was trying to show vulnerability, but this is obviously not the case. Its not like he sent it to Palm or any anti-virus companies before giving it out. He didn't do it for the good of users, he did it because he couldn't figure out a scheme to stop people from cracking his software and though he'd teach them a lesson. In fact, if any of you attended the Defcon 8 Palm security talk, the presenter gave a rather nice break down of the protection scheme.
I would take the puppy from the search window and use him to find my large, properly formated data file which was likely hidden by my usually flower giving sweety after I spent too much time at work.

If its a contract dispute than Linus has even less to worry about since he doesn't have a contract with SCO.
CAUTION! You are addicted! Log off now! Find your self a skateboard and get out of the house! CAUTION!

Why would the RIAA want your Tivo? Are you ripping CDs from broadcast TV? Or only recording MTV and then distributing them?
