You proxy it. User talks to BOA, you build an on-the-fly cert for it using your CA (it's fairly easy to use social engineering to get your CA on there, but if not then 99% of users just click any box that's in front of them anyway.. especially if the box says that the cert. claims it is a valid bank of america one).
Then you have plaintext in both directions, you just relay data from one to the other and simultaneously store it in a file somewhere. At your leasure you have the username, password, account number, one or two of the secret questions, list of organisations transactions from the recent statements.. more than enough to perform identity theft.
The only effective measure there is the WPA. If a hacker gets through that (and that's *hard*) they can break through the others in a matter of seconds just by sniffing packets.
I carry both in my pocket. If you could merge the two it'd be great. I couldn't use the iphone on its own.. Every day I use Bluetooth Data (for my satnav), MMS, SMS to multiple recipients, GPS (telling my friends where I am).. all of which the iphone doesn't have yet. OTOH It's a nice browser and the video viewer knocks spots off the N95 one - altough the iphone frustratingly doesn't support live video streaming (largely due to the lack of 3G I suspect).
Anyone can un-cripple a phone just by updating it. Sometimes (depending on what the carrier has done) you have to fiddle with it a bit, but you can get a pristine phone quite easily. I hate carrier branding and *always* remove it from every phone I have.
It's often far cheaper to change phone/provider every 12 months than stay with your current one anyway. The 'new customer' deals are pretty good.
If you're a heavy user of course you can get great deals sticking with your current provider.. I know a guy that got a free N95 and zero line rental. Then again he makes about £2000/month in phone calls so they didn't really want to lose him..
It's not always free (depends on how long you've been a customer) but it's quite cheap. My N95 cost £15 for the carrier to unlock.
Not sure what you mean by 'dodgy'. It's absolutely standard for a phone shop to unlock phones (of course the ones tied to carriers will only unlock their own).
When I was at school we had a teachers work to rule. They refused to cover us during breaks, so we all went 'great' and left the school during those times.
More than once the smokers amongst us bumped into teachers doing shopping, etc. on that time, and not a word was said. Not their problem, since it was out of school.
If I was a parent any my child was disciplined for something that happened outside school, I'd play hell. If it was because they were monitoring their activities outside school as in this article, I'd bring the lawyers in. And the newspapers.
Surely you're not telling me the legal drinking age in the US is 21? Hell.. I the worst hangover of my life was the day of my 16th birthday when I could finally drink legally (everyone in this country drinks illegally from about 14). The second worst hangover was at the school party that year where they'd thoughtfully provided free drinks..
You'll never learn to drink responsibly unless you've drunk irresponsibly a few times when you're younger. OTOH I was drinking wine with meals at 7 years old, so was kinda used to it by then.
It's not illegal to drink at 15, unless you live in Saudi Arabia or something (surely the US isn't *that* backward?). It's illegal to serve drinks to a 15 year old... but who's to say their parents didn't give them the beer? (which is legal in every country I'm aware of).
If they're 16 or over the school can mind its own bloody business.
would be interesting to see this on an N800. It already runs Linux as its base OS and has a nice 640xsomething screen. Now the things are dirt cheap since the launch of the N810 it's the kind of thing that could push me into getting one, so I could play with Android a bit.
Unlikely. People with life saving prescriptions usually make sure they're up to date a couple of weeks in advance (some of the stuff I take has horrid withdrawl symptoms and I mustn't go more than a day without it - I'm always at least a week in advance of it, since remember doctors/pharmacies don't work weekends and holidays so you're out of contact at least 2 days a week anyway). For those that 'forgot' there are emergency procedures, where a pharmacist can issue a drug without prescription given sufficient proof that the drug is required immediately (I've seen this done several times with asthma patients that forget their inhalers. Turning blue in the chemist is apparently sufficient proof:p).
Basically, the system isn't that finely balanced that a day or two without a central system would kill people. It would be inconvenient, and all non-urgent prescriptions would just have to wait, but not life threatening.
Step 3 is incorrect. You already established it's impossible for you to have merely the idea of the perfect internet news site, as only an existing one could be perfect. Therefore the following steps are wrong also.
On the other hand no GPLv2 project can include code from GPLv3 without causing themselves obnoxious and unnecessary licensing problems (by being forced to GPLv3 only instead of GPLv2).
They're two separate, incompatible licenses. That's just the way it is. They just happen to have similar names.
However look out for 21cn (100mb to door via fibre in most places) which is due 2011 onwards.
bzzt. 21cn is *not* fibre to the home. In many places it's not even fibre to the cabinet.
The best 21cn is offering is 24mb to those in cities. Those in the country will continue to to crawl at 256kb or less, and in between is everyone else, as with DSL.. just a bit faster.
Mostly 21cn is about replacing BTs infrastructure with IP based services, which gives them a lot more flexibility and cost savings. It is of course way behind schedule, but then large projects always are - They've even pulled the 'when will I be upgraded' service to stop getting peoples hopes up.
Almost every ISP's gold service is unlimited downloading.
You might want to look at those T&C again. Check the 'fair use' clause.
Truly unlimited connections almost completely unavailable in the UK. Ofcom still haven't stopped ISPs using 'Unlimited' in their advertising when their offerings are *far* from unlimited.
At the very best they'll throttle you once you go over a certain limit. Some ISPs will cut you off completely.
BD-Live mandates ethernet I think. That's mostly future though... it prempts the growth of streaming by potentially allowing consumers to stream Bluray movies - trailers are apparently available already.
Besides, HD-DVD uses red to identify their movies; where as Blu-Ray uses blue. Which one do you think looks more appealing to the consumer? The success of consumer electronics is often not depndant on technical merits, but visual ones.
Sounds like a frivilous point but it probably has more effect than you'd think. People react to colour instinctively.. red is a danger sign. HDDVD should have used green (nature, 'everything OK' colour), or a pastel shade (less reaction, softer). That's why many stores that traditionally had red logos and shop fronts have rebranded over the last few years.

I wouldn't want hearing in the 20Mhz range.. TV stations, radio stations, radar.. hell this computer I'm sat at would probably deafen me!
Women are a minority?
Ssh.. they might hear you, then we'll all be in trouble...
If he left his car unlocked wasn't that permission to drive it away?
My stealing wifi you can end up in hot water.. there are laws concerning data theft, etc. just as much as car theft.

SSL web proxies work well.. but if you want to belive that it's impossible to do, then go right ahead.. I could use some extra cash.

All he's doing is making life harder for himself.

I bought my last 3 phones at the supermarket. They worked in the car on the way back.
How is the iphone easier than that?

If the battery on your phone runs a bit low, break out the porn!
The time is irrelevant, in fact.

Mind you, it's illegal for people older than 18years to drink here
Good thing too. Don't want those old people drinking.. no telling what they might do.
it's also illegal to drive, to go to army and other things.
It would suck having to walk everywhere though.
21? What country is this? Iran?

Scary.
