I've yet to find myself in the situation where I wish I had functionality absent in the kernel I'm using which is present in a newer kernel. My kernel=not broke.
they're comsats with personal or base uplinks, so they'll be GEO. Right now, from what I've read, they're only offering contracts to military contractors and service providers. The PAYG service won't be going live until after the orbital testing on their second bird is complete at the end of August.
Thomas Hamilton got all his legally as well - notwithstanding the fact that he was a dirty fucking nonce with connections in the police (details are D-Noticed for the next 85 years). He ended up by walking into a school and shooting sixteen kids and a teacher dead, injuring 15 before taking his own face off.
Kneejerk reaction: All automatic rifles banned. Brocock cartridge air weapons banned. Most cartridge load handguns banned (.22 rimfire pistols banned in 1997). FAC limit taken down to 12fpe for air rifle, 6fpe for air pistol. Historic muzzle load and cartridge weapons limited to 5-shot magazines, shotguns to 3 cartridges.
Hamilton used 2 9mm Browning HP pistols and 2 Smith & Wesson M19.357 Magnum revolvers.
I smell a large rat here. What this looks like to me is a government using a situation that may or may not have been one of their own design and execution, to disarm the population.
Bad example with the Swiss. They've not been at war with anyone since the Napoleonic war, and certainly haven't had to deal with any invasion since 1815. In 1993 not a single armed robbery was reported in Geneva (Halbrook). Could be something to do with the fact that the population are issued with automatic rifles on majority and trained in their use.
for wifi, I have a t-shirt. If I come across an unexpected signal (indicated by my chest lighting up) out comes the netbook and sixty seconds later if it's a WEP node I'm in. Sooner if it's an open node. for Bluetooth I have a nifty little custom app on my netbook that beeps every so often and logs any and all Bluetooth activity that comes into range. Oh, to have something like that on an Android phone...
A good one-size-fits-all tool I've been using for years is a wideband RF meter. This gadget uses custom 802.1x receivers to scan from 1.5GHz, through the entire 2.4GHz ISM band up to around 6GHz for wifi, Bluetooth, domestic microwave leakage, satellite transmission cones, RADAR, pretty much anything that uses this range of frequencies. It can be attenuated for most situations with a simple turning of two dials.
I use UPS bricks that come with suppressor circuits for ethernet/RJ11 and USB (they also supply power for USB). Very handy pieces of kit, and the batteries are fairly easily replaced as well. So no, the plethora of different connectors is nothing new for me (I used to sell the things as well).
Part of a penetration test should be, and I don't think I need to remind those who are active in the cybersecurity industry of this(!), creating hacking devices that look as if they're part of the furniture - like they're supposed to be there.
If I have an oil well in my back garden that I depend on to feed my family, you bet your arse I will defend it with deadly force against some jerk in a uniform acting on orders from some other jerk with Dollar signs in his eyes and shareholders to please.
Right now kids are sick and starving in Iraq and Libya, not because the infrastructure and money wasn't there before to feed them - it was. Now, post-invasion, post-coup, there is no money, the roads are shattered, preventable diseases are running rampant and the resources of the nation are being diverted by the invading force in a self-justifying stripmining operation. What's left of the ever-dwindling amount of food and medicines that the occupying forces don't consider worth bothering with, is being fought over by the survivors - while those occupying forces stand and watch as if it were a cockfight, placing bets on which brownskin dies next.
Once those resources are gone in crates and tanks marked with the Star Spangled Banner, the desert will completely reclaim the country and what's left of its people.
I see the same thing happening in Syria right now - I wonder where those displaced during the Iraq conflicts will run to now, not to mention the extra burden of the Syrian refugees who will surely flood the desert with their numbers if and when the US/UK complex decide it's time to intervene?
I didn't say anything about the circumstances surrounding bin Laden's sudden change of heart. I can't, I wasn't there, so I won't pretend to. It just seems a bit convenient that around the time massive mineral resources are discovered in the mountains of Afghanistan, suddenly he is public enemy #1!?
Check your history: al Qaeda did not exist before the Russians invaded Afghanistan. It is a list of names used by the CIA as contacts and cash funnels for the Mujahideen in the area - the name was devised by the CIA, not the names on the list. bin Laden was an ALLY back then (as nothing more than a name on that list), simply as a foil for the Communist regime.
additional: killing al Qaeda members will not work. al Qaeda is a CIA construct. An idea. Not even an idea of the individuals concerned. That said, you cannot kill an idea. Once it's out, it's out. It's the thing that Pandora's Box can't contain, ever.
In the eyes of the US Government, there is *no difference* between terrorist and enemy combatant ("Terrorists As Enemy combatants", Reid, 2004, Part II, "Jus in Bello – Examining the Rules That Apply to Al Qaeda and Taliban Forces as Enemy Combatants". This is the warbook on the "war on terror". The same warbook that argues that even though al Qaeda are to be *referred* to as "enemy combatants", the fact that they operate under the flag of an organisation of loosely connected cells rather than under the flag of a State, means that the Geneva Convention does not apply. Have a read, it'll open your eyes).
...Ask yourself, then answer: who is the real terrorist?
The man fighting to keep his family and his livelihood against corporate interests? Or the man who wages war from a bombproof office, nine thousand miles away, that he might steal that which does not belong to him?

Pravda, among other news sources (that are infinitely more reputable than either Fox or the BBC), say otherwise.

for Navy buckets operating out of normal, unrestricted hardline/line-of-sight microwave/wifi ranges.
NATO have already approved Avanti satellite uplinks for operational use.

I wouldn't, unless you can tell me why a criminal would suddenly get a conscience and start obeying the Law in the middle of a firefight?

prior art: dumpster diving.
Hacking isn't all about dictionary files and bruteforce attacks, autodiallers and Ally Sheedy. :)

I hope they got plenty of filler foam.
cue the homebrew powerstrip hackers... oh wait.
um... nope, we used pens and paper notebooks.
This article should be fairly significant for me, as I live right on the neck of a meander of a major river.
mod funny, that made me pee a little.
...for the appearance of this device.

Discuss.
...to high school geography!
This'll be a nice refresher, it was over 20 years ago and I don't remember a lot of it.

I weep for the species.
wow. I'm still using 2.6.37 (OpenSuSE 11.4 vm image). What can I say, it ain't broke so I've never bothered fixing it :)
I'll have a word with Sergei.
Mod parent up for this one short sentence:
"Who decides who is a terrorist?"
You said it, not me. Smell your own, first.

Something is not right.
what political ends? Please specify.
