And the machine will refuse to work with "refilled" cartridges or expired ones, due to the chip. Give it a few years, and there will be coffee shops that sell nothing but re-manufactured coffee pods. All with a guarantee that it's the same quality of coffee in the genuine pods and it won't clog your coffee maker. Keurig, of course, will refuse to honor the warranty on their machine if they believe you've been using refilled/remanufactured pods.
A 10% increase in taxes? The amount of damage increase exponentially with vehicle weight (to the 4th power - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...). The fuel costs increase linearly with load size. So even with higher fuel usage and slightly higher taxes, it doesn't make a significant difference.
The Stingray device makes no distinction between the "tracked" device and any other cell phone that finds its signal to be the strongest. Hundreds of phones could likely have been intercepted. I would have thought the virtual tower could refuse connection to all the rest, but apparently that's not the case.
And isn't tricking every cell phone in range a DMCA violation?
That would only apply if the device broke the encryption on communication with a nearby tower. It doesn't. It acts as a cell phone tower itself and the phone establishes encrypted communication directly with the virtual tower. There is no authentication to verify a legitimate tower.
If you ignore oversubscription and other customers, QoS on the router is not meaningless. It's harder, since the media stream from Netflix probably uses UDP rather than TCP. You would start with a flood of packets from Netflix, but when the device only receives smaller number of packets (due to QoS throttling), Netflix will decide you have lower bandwidth and let up. And once it does, it's in balance with your other connections.
Most of the congestion is in the last mile. It can be worse with cable, since you have a shared data path for most of the last 50 yards, but you still have a significant degree of control.
And most people just want a picture to document that the day happened and have a memento. And I'm sure all the passengers are going to be drunk and not looking their best anyway. You won't get much out of professional photography at that point. There is a time and place for professional photography, but neither this nor a theme park are it. And they don't have pros at the theme parks anwyay.
I was referring specifically to the audience I was addressing - didn't feel like spending my time being so specific with my words. Who know that router firmware tends to be bad all around.
I was going to try Shibby, which everyone recommended, but I had trouble finding a recent one and went with Toastman instead. I used Tomato-USB prior to that. My about screen (on my RT-N16) says I'm using Tomato Firmware v1.28.0503 MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N K26 USB VPN. So it's a special build specific to the RT-N models.
Great stability. Make sure to do a hard reset both before and after the firmware upgrade. Hard to find the proper instructions out there. Current uptime: 105 days, 17:33:22. And that was when I got my new cable modem.
If you like the Asus RT-N16, I don't recommend DD-WRT anyway. I have the same model and love how stable Tomato (Shibby build) is. The UI is very clean compared to DD-WRT, so you're not losing convenience for functionality. I also think the router is actually a bit faster on Tomato vs. stock. Then again - if you don't use the USB ports, you're not at risk anyway.
I'm not sure why anyone would use the stock firmware. I use the RT-N16 with Tomato. It's the best router I've ever had. I hardly care that it doesn't have the 5GHz band, which would only reach the one room that doesn't have any wireless devices anyway.
That helped. And also reminded me that frequency doubled lasers are more of a "convenient green" rather than "pure green" (center of the spectrum of green). And since the LCD screen is based on a filter and not an emitter, it's possible that it lets a wide range of green frequencies through.

I think we've seen this before...

Downside : a normal coffee brew process generates 6-12 cups of Joe.
Just throw out the rest. You'll probably still save money.

Only if there's a severability clause. Otherwise the entire contract is null and void. Granted, almost every contract has one.

OK. All but the last 3 words of your post say a different message without them. And I hit tl;dr at the line wrap. You can blame me for being lazy.
They already own some big pipes. All you have to do is put some transmitters on top of some derricks,and they could cover Texas pretty well.
Except the CEO was actually more worried about the water tower being built next door than the water table.
See...the Internet is kind of like a pipeline...

an emulsion of vinegar and...vinegar.
Indeed, science is hard. The emulsion is between egg yolks and oil. The acid plays a small part, mostly in flavor and extra water content.

Just FYI - I had a lot of trouble finding instructions. So here you go:

I used Lassik's instructions (multiple posts). And yes, I only found the firmware on the 4shared site:

That explains all the Black Friday sales on this product. Get them sold before the vulnerability is public. I'm betting they knew about this.

I didn't have it open today - I had it open 6 months ago.
I misread on the brand part.
Why is this bother you so much?
I already had it open. I never figured it out. No obvious problems in there (no bulged caps), but it behaved just like a capacitor problem.
Is it easy to recognize? It was still worth it to me to buy a second RT-N16, but I still have the failed one. Would love to resurrect it.

You might put a thumb drive in there to hold log files. I do this to track my bandwidth usage. Well no- I use the CIFS support in Tomato for that.

I understand now.
Unless they use LCD screens for their instruments. I'm sure the RGB filters in the LCD aren't too far off from what those glasses filter out.
