The real key to the case - the lawyers debating what a 'knowing, willing' state of mind is and just what 'authorization' is.
T get to the point where he saw a hypothetical 'welcome authorization', he had already accessed the network without authorization. More like the 'Party, All Welcome' sign was inside the front hallway - you had already trespassed to get to the point where you could read the sign. People that I had invited in already had authorization to get to that point - a stranger wouldn't.
If you buy a book with instructions on how to commit a crime, you haven't committed the crime - nor does it authorize you to do so. Once you use those instructions in a way that violates a Statute, however, you HAVE. Finding the hot spot was one thing - using the network resources was another.
I seriously doubt it was a computer that he 'connected too' and received an IP from. Ever hear of a router or an access point? Instructions on how to connect... pull the other one, it's got bells on.
you both have it 100% wrong. What makes it a felony is, "Whoever willfully, knowingly, and without authorization: Accesses or causes to be accessed any computer, computer system, or computer network;.
That's Chapter 815.06(1)(a) of Florida Statutes. That section is the one that pertains to Computer-Related Crimes. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_ mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0815/ch0815.htm
Wardriving, per se is not a violation. Finding a hot spot is not access within the definition of Section 815. Once you "instruct, communicate with, store data in, retrieve data from, or otherwise make use of any computer network", THEN you have accessed it.
In this case he DID get into trouble for "stealing" Wi-Fi.
When Chris took over CFH from Leo, the ratings went up. The TechTV management got rid of Chris because of other reasons, not a drop in viewers.
Would using an account count for more? Maybe. At least I don't try to hide my ugly face like you do. Maybe you have a reason to hide it behind that mask.
A degree makes one more knowledgable than actual hands on experience - no. I guess a background in broadcasting qualifies one for talking tech. Nope, that doesn't wash either. Not being able to answer the questions annoys viewers - and that's right where Leo fits in.
I harbor no ill will towards you. May you be blessed in the next life with a brain that actually receives some use.
Since you posted as an AC (AssClown in your case), your opinion of him doesn't count for much. Plenty of people do want him back.
He is more knowledgable about Technology than Leo LaPorte ever hoped to be. Chris could answer the questions rather than surf to Google for ALL his answers. Getting rid of Leo is one of the smarter things G4 is doing.
- it's totally off-base. The TechTV producers do decide which of the questions they are going to air, but the callers are real people not paid actors. Given the quantitiy of calls, faxes and e-mails they receive they have no problem with the "interesting in concept and solution" which you feel is only possible in a scripted setting.
Of course real life computer problems are so much duller and uneventful. Go back to your kiddy cartoons which ARE scripted for your apparent level of intelligence.
Actually, G4 is keeping a fair amount of the TechTV content. They say that "The G4 programming day will showcase many existing G4 and TechTV series such as G4's ICONS; PULSE; JUDGMENT DAY; PLAYERS, and CHEAT! as well as TechTV's ANIME UNLEASHED; X-PLAY; SCREEN SAVERS; FRESH GEAR; and ROBOT WARS. G4 will also premiere new original programming which will be announced at a later date." Notable by it's omission is Call For Help. (Leo isn't going to move to LA).
An interesting side note is the fact that Chris Pirillo is down in LA already. It is conceivable that G4 is considering him for the "new original programming" in a show similar to Call For Help. Personally, I think this would be a good move for G4. In fact, there is a petition to get Chris back on TV. Use the slashdot effect for a valid reason - slashsign the petition.
There was a 'laser school' operating on Keesler AFB in the late 60's and the modified aircraft was stationed at that base. I know for a fact that one ground attack was made using this weapon.
Will you find anything on the internet... probably not.
You're looking at only half the statement, therefore you are 100% off target.
The important part to look at is "first... designed to autonomously detect, track and destroy". They had an airborne laser mounted in a converted KC-135 (707) during the Vietnam Era. It was a CO2 gas laser that also operated in the infrared region (about 10.6 microns I believe).
The autonomous operation of the laser is the 'new technology'. The Vietnam era version was used for ground attack and was targeted by the pilot flying a specific path since the laser was in a fixed mount. A 'bombadier' triggered the laser at the appropriate time.
been wishing for "a large, armored, waterproof, 15-hour-battery-life, rubberized PDA".
Why would I want that over-priced piece of junk when I can get one of these for my current SMALL PDA?
Actually, it was known that the control rods were "sticky", and procedure called for them to be cycled manually. Being "sticky", it is entirely possible that the operator doing the lifing may have put to much effort into it when it stuck and when it came loose it, rapidly lifted the control rod too far.
The speed of movement of the control rod also has an effect on criticality, btw. SL-1 went prompt critical and the water moderator flashed to steam. The 'pocket' of steam caused a water hammer which lifted the reactor vessel (about 5 metric tons in weight) over 3 meters. It also blew out other control rods and part of the core causing massive contamination of the reactor containment area. It was estimated that a neutron flux in excess of 1000 n/cm^3 was produced during the incident.
Many people are unaware that on January 3, 1961, SL-1, a small (about 3 MW) nuclear reactor was destroyed due to a "reactor explosion" at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho Falls, Idaho, killed one navy technician and two army technicians, and released radioactivity "largely confined" to the reactor building.
One technician was blown to the ceiling of the containment dome and impaled on a control rod. His body remained there until it was taken down six days later. The men were so heavily exposed to radiation that their hands had to be buried separately with other radioactive waste, and their bodies were interred in lead coffins.
One of the victims was interred at Arlington National Cemetery:
SUBJECT: Internment of Radioactive Remains
TO: Superintendent Arlington National Cemetery Arlington 11, Virginia
1. Radioactive remains of SP4 Richard L. McKinley were interred at Arlington National Cemetery on 25 January 1961.
2. It is desired that the following remark be placed on the permanent record, DA Form 2122, Record ofInternment:
"Victim of nuclear accident. Body is contaminated with long-life radio-active isotopes. Under no circumstances will the body be moved from this location without prior approval of the Atomic Energy Commission in consultation with this headquarters."
A careful examination of the remains of the core and the vessel concluded that the control rod was manually withdrawn by about 50 centimeters (40 centimeters would have been enough to make the reactor critical), largely increasing the reactivity. The resulting power surge caused the reactor power to reach 20,000MW in about.01 seconds, causing the plate-type fuel to melt. The molten fuel interacted with the water in the vessel, producing an explosive formation of steam that caused the water above the core to rise with such force that when it hit the lid of the pressure vessel, the vessel itself rose 3 meters in the air before dropping back down.
TMI wasn't the first or only nuclear reactor accident in the US.
In spite of this 'negative publicity', I still strongly support nuclear power.
No shit, Sherlock. What gave you the first clue? And the x86-64 isn't hardware? Get your head out of Steve Job's ass and see the real world. 64 bit cpus have been on the desktop a lot longer than the G5 has been out AND there were 64 bit operating systems that ran on them. OSX isn't even a full 64 bit os, so if the fool I responded to was wrong on that piont too.
Why would my Grandmother want to run Windows? She actually uses SuSE - and SuSE DID have a 64-bit version out for the x86-64 before the G5 was released. And surprise, surprise, surprise - She could run her favoite applications and check her e-mail too.
Idiot! You comment was NOT correct - semantically or any other way.
Leo will be hosting CFH (Call for Help) only. CFH will be 'live-to-tape' with all five weekly shows shot on Monday and Wednesday. The taped shows will shown at 6pm est, with 'Encore' repeats twice the next day starting April 5th. Netcammers will be accepted via e-mail only. Leo will occasionally appear in TSS (The Screensavers) spots.
If any part of the patent is its weak point, I think the "limited capability devices" part will be it. Tapwave Zodiac Specs state: " Two easily accessible expansion slots let you add anything from memory to content to SDIO cards. Double the fun. Double the expandability. Pump up your memory to 1GB with the latest cards. Drop an SD card into one slot and view a video or a photo album. Use the other to switch between your favorite games. Or maybe add a digital camera. The options are nearly endless."
Nearly endless is a long way ahead of "limited capabilities". If the Zodiac is far more capable than the GBA, does this patent apply to emulators running on it?
I'm an anal butt - err - IANAL, but, I think Nintendo thought too small when they drafted the patent and it doesn't cover a lot of modern technology - like the Zodiac.
Actually, these are the 3.7.6 drivers - not the 3.7.1 pos drivers. These drivers have resolved the issues on Athlon systems and provide hardware acceleration under WineX. ATi has also added support for the 9800XT cards.
It's news aggregating. A lot of the popular sites gather topics on a common theme and present them in a (sometimes) more coherent fashion then the original source.
Of course, there are the cut&pasters that couldn't come up with an original thought of their own if they had to.
