Of course it's been cracked, it's a DRM-like technology, without at least a TPM chip to make tampering very difficult it stood no chance. Now if the camera uploaded a hash to a Canon server when the pic was taken that would be different...and even then you can take legitimate pics of a guy walking through the woods in a convincing Bigfoot suit.
The scale looks roughly correct but the perspective looks screwed up...reminds me of some of the early 3D PC games.
With cars they use a healthy dose of fishbowl effect to make the interior of the cars look bigger - and in the case of SUVs, show a view from the windscreen that is either taken from a helicopter or the top of a hill.
I think he is using USAian (a cumbersome term, we need something like Estadounidense in English) out of legitimate linguistic reasons. In the US the term American is universally accepted to mean "citizen of the United States" and in Canada and the UK people will generally get what you mean, but in most other places it's too ambiguous, especially if the context hasn't been established. IRL people often use "from the States."
They use traffic analysis. If they see anything that looks unlike a typical plain-jane "smart" phone, like torrent traffic or web traffic from a browser with a desktop user agent, or VPN traffic, you are accused of tethering and receive a tethering bill or get cut off.
Of course an open phone could do all three of those things by itself, no problem.
NetTalk/Ooma? You must be new to this. Use SIP/IAX, then you'll also be taking a step towards making all communication as free and open as email. Vonage and most of those other services are just selling you a locked-in solution that is SIP-based on some lower level anyways.
I still don't get why they're being billed differently. Especially tablets and smartphones being put in different bandwidth categories when they run the same operating systems, WTF?
Every time an American (I say that only to speak to you in your native language, normally I have no problem doing so but I don't want to appear complacent to your stupidity) says something cartoonishly asinine like this they reinforce the stereotype of the dumb jingoistic cowboy whose knowledge of anything outside the US border consists of "here there be dragons."
(the reason is that outside the USA when someone says America other people will think of all of North and even South America. Of course when we say "Americans" to those who in Spanish are called "Estadounidenses", we know they know what we're saying).
I was wondering, how do they tell a smartphone from a USB 3G modem? I'd guess that if the majority of the traffic isn't web traffic with a smartphone user agent they flag you.
Phew, thanks, he nearly got me, I had the tab open even.
I was wondering what 3D printing project would cost 3 or 4 digits in materials. I figured it would be some huge thing constructed from 3D printed modules.
On the other hand a $12k printer is always a possibility and I wanted to see this huge and awesome machine (which was in fact, goatse's butt).
Yeah after looking at Siri I don't have any use for a Siri clone. It's one of those things that's good for 5 minutes of novelty value and impressing friends who haven't used up their 5 minutes yet.
What is not surprising at all but most entertaining, is that the CP kingpin says that many of the users of his sites are at the highest positions of government, the corporate world and the church. Including a quote about some Goldman Sachs exec who is willing to "hire some more thugs to bust up OWS" (anon seems to be aligning itself with OWS).
If they aren't interested and experienced in computers by that age they're not going into the industry. We don't need any more PHBs, clueless coders and buzzword bingo players, thanks. It'll be better for them too, IT/CompSci has an awful education:pay ratio. My sister woke up one day a few years ago and said "I think I'll work in interior design" and now she makes almost as much as I do at my job that requires a BSc and more (and she needs all the money she can get, she's terrible at managing it).
No, what I said is correct. He asked about the human contribution to global warming so I responded with figures about the release of fossil CO2 by humans, not human activity as a fraction of all greenhouse gases (already) in the atmosphere.
Your link is also correct but doesn't answer the question.
I couldn't find any overall figures for natural vs. human release of fossil CO2, but take a look at the effects of volcanoes vs. human activity:
I've done all my drive shopping over the last two years, I won't need to upgrade anything until the file server fills up and there's still plenty of space.

Lightspeed Briefs! For the discriminating crotch.

In one of those pics they hid a fireplace. That's the level of intelligence I expect in the Real Estate industry...

It's serious business, apparently.
In other words, "Just world fallacy FTMFW bitches!"

Hey, keep your damn logic out of this, universal health care and social programs will turn any country into the USSR and you know it!

True that's like half a quarter man. A quarter is the largest unit of time a corporation can understand. It's practically half an eternity.

Never mind the smelting and recycling costs...a bandwidth foundry takes as much electricity as a small city you know.

Bigoted? Now I'm really curious. Please, go on.

Obama isn't beholden to the telecoms the way he is to Wall Street, is he?
His recent attempt at net neutrality basically exempted cell providers from most of the regulations, what do you think?

Also that the site allows payment in bitcoins.

That's what I do, only buy when I'm running out of space (or building a new PC).
