"All he wanted to do was get into corporate sites, download code, play with the code and then move on to the next target. "
No, all he wanted to do was steal cellphone service and other services. Mitnick was not some grand hacker, he at that time was simply a petty thief that had skills that others did not. He was after the next big score or what would give him something for nothing.
Why does everyone paint him to be some kind of leader for freedom and the Hacking Society. Most of us that were in the scene at that time and before did not have much respect for him.
He is not the Hacker Poster boy. He was treated unfairly in the courts and legal system.
OR the fact that a 3G connection is slow as hell at times, unreliable as hell at times, or not really there. This is in backwater places like NYC or Chicago.
and no there isn't ask the military. They have already dealt with this. at NORAD each workstation has two PC's and you switch between a secure and a insecure. you as the user have ZERO physical access to the secure box, it's actually in a locked box bolted to the desk.
If you use a commodity OS inside your secure network. you will get hacked and you will get it knocked over.
If you have a high security network and run windows and office on it, it's not high security anymore.
you run apps and Operating systems rated for the security that are tightened down. only a moron would let someone edit a spreadsheet on a PC that is connected to the secure network. You flip to the insecure network machine for tasks like that. No connections between them other than the eyeballs and fingers of the user.
Being a drunken idiot and having friend that think every moment of their life must be on the internet? that's not social interaction. I know plenty of people that go out and have a lot of social interaction and do NOT get their face plastered all over the internet.
Professional tablets have been around for decades... where have you been?
Dauphin DTR-1 was the very first, and was widely used in 1993 for mostly the FBI and insurance industry, doctors started using it. Fujitsu Stylistic is the absolute standard and has been for over 20 years now. Lenovo is so late to the party, they are pretty much a joke.
Sorry, but a TABLET PC market has existed cince 1996. Fujitsu has been the KING of Tablet PC's for decades. in fact most hosptials have Fuj itsu Stylistics all ove rthe place.
Sounds like you not only do not know what you are talking about, bot know nothing at all about Computing at all. the iPad is a dirt cheap iteration of what a lot of companies and professionals have been using for well over 20 years now.
Says the bitter, bitter man who has never touched a iPad....
Stop being a grumpy old turd and go TRY ONE for a while. Honestly, I am 30X more productive than the guys at work that dont have one. I carry autocad files with me to review and show. I annotate pdf files etc...
It's a tool, just because you cant figure out how to use a wrench does not make wrenches stupid.
A proper and real diversity system can detect the angle of the radio to the receiver. A properly designed setup with 4 antennas can give a 0-360 degree direction of the radio it is contacting and a crude distance. this added information and watching radio traffic in the spectrum. I.E see a packet transmitted from radio 3 to radio 4 and then the same packet is transmitted to the base, flag it as mitm and contact radio 3 directly.
It would make a $299 AP cost about $3400 but it could be effective.
Software patents stifling progress. There is no honest use for software patents. They need to eliminate them if we are to actually encourage development and design.
I love how that was the biggest Whine from the Photoshop crowd. Yet Photoshop went to floating windows design with the advent of CS2 and I did not hear them all whine to Adobe..
Honestly, you cant make them happy. Dont even try.
"the iPad cannot read SD cards nor accept USB mass storage devices."
Yes it can. except that apple intentionally cripped reading from a USB hard drive or a thumb drive over 16gig in size.
I also have it grab low res (720P) shots from the camera as I snap the photos by using a wifiSD card that has storage as well. Nothing like taking a set of photos at a session and grabbing the ipad to show the client/model instead of the 1" screen on the camera.
"And there is the clinching point - the bible never claims what evolutionary biologists call a bottleneck of two individuals"
No, it actually claims a bottleneck of 6 individuals.
As all humans were killed in the flood except for Noah and his family. This is very clear and Concise. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Noah's_Ark for more information about this bedtime story that many claim to be absolute fact.
Granted it's a story that was inserted into the old testament because it has nice entertainment value and the fact that it's a good "Behave or god will KILL YOU!" story to tell to children and illiterate people. But a large group of people actually believe that mankind would not corrupt a holy book for power and control. Very, Very Naive people they are.
Never underestimate humanity's ability to corrupt something.

get rid of time zones but keep the 100% useless DST? what complete moron thought this one up?
honestly, Daylight Savings time does NOTHING. we are not an agricultural country anymore so catering to a handfull of farmers is dumb.
Get rid of DST first THEN we can look at the retarded idea of getting rid of time zones.

Linux? I'm talking hardened BSD running X.

Honestly, the USB ports can support a keyboard and mouse. WTF is wrong with them?
if the FPS games sold on the Xbox platform supported Keyboard and mouse they would entice all the PC games to come on over.

Criminals are stupid. ragingly stupid.
They will check facebook only to find their buddies. they will not go searching for "dan the new guy"
no reckless social interaction? yes.

Translation of your "story"
"Damn wrench! Can someone get me a wrench that will turn this screw! I can't get this wrench to remove this screw!
This is a really crappy wrench."
There you go, blaming the tool once again when you need to be blaming the person that lacks education to use the tool.

Sand? it looks more like his ass.
Toe keyboards are the future!

You mean like how the next update will support XDHC cards... Yes.
Yet the Android tablet from last year that has a SD slot... you throw the whole tablet away and buy a new one to support XDHC cards.
never touched an ipad have you.
I watch youtube videos all the time. on it.
Try again troll-boy.
"ALL SPORTS SUCK TO WATCH! Some are tolerable to participate in."
You have never watched Australian rules football.
Honestly it's only weapons away from watching a Quake III arena tournament.
I want them to try it in a london pub during the world cup...
Your DVD player, your Flat Panel TV, your BluRay player, your Mp3 player stereo, your router, even some kids toys run Linux.
It's everywhere because Windows cant be and has a gigantic cost compared to using linux in the product.

This is due to our heavy consumption of High Fructose Corn Syrup and our public school system.
