Sorry but you will not figure out how to bomb a embassy by reading the tire pressure in my front left tire. All this is nothing but FUD and fear-mongering by a researcher that is late on the scene to automotive hacking. Many of us in the automotive hacking circles have done this stuff for well over 30 years. Now suddenly just because one guy who decided to make a lot of noise about it it's a problem?
it is not a problem, ignore this attention whore.
You cant send a virus down the tire pressure comms channel to the ECM and cause the car to explode or disable the brakes. (Except for toyota cars... JOKING!) and his demos with wirelessly changing the dashboard and other "hacks" are via a 3rd party wireless device he installed in the car.
If I buy a new windows server and install VNC without a password can I demonstrate to the world how horribly insecure the newest windows server release is? It's the same thing. Everyone glosses over the fact that none of his hacks are possible without having the target's car for a few days and installing a lot of gear in it.
The ONLY wireless OEM hack I have ever seen is the one where you blast mp3 files to bluetooth devices with the codes set to 0000 or 1234.. and that was to a BMW. Unfortunately it did not allow me to take control and steer the car or control the brakes. It did allow us to play audi adverts to the guy.
Honey I really want a new BMW 725i, let's mortgage the house.
How about saving the money for about 13-16months and buying a 3-4 year old car for less than $13,000.00 or if you cant afford that a smaller or older car for less?
Careless spending is never a reason to take out another mortgage. And what kind of fool buys a car they cant afford?
in what planet? Most people that lost their homes will not rent your $2500 a month home. if they can afford that they can afford to buy one of the houses that are selling for $60K-$120K and pay less than 1/3rd your asking rent.
Plus have you ever done property management? Renting is not a free ride. water heater breaks, your ass replaces it. Furnace dies, you get up at 4am to deal with it. Your renters own your ass. if the home's mortgage payment is $1500.00 add another $1000 for insurance, taxes and maintainer costs. If you hire a managing company add in 15-20% of the rent to them as well.
Renting is good for slumlords that can get away with renting a $35,000 shithole in the slums for $650 a month.
How about simply saving money? If you were not dumb and started saving when you were 18 you would have enough to live a rock and roll lifestyle by 60. Just because you prefer a get rich quicker scheme does not make it right.
Note: if you really care about retirement money then why did you buy a house more than you can afford? (house+insurance_taxes should not exceed 1/4 your monthly take home pay) Why did you marry and have kids? Those suck down more money than anything else.
Retirement is only for the rich. Most have to work until they die because the lie that is you can retire and play for the last 20 years of your life is only for the wealthy or those that are smart with their money and save it in the highest yeld low to zero risk accounts. Stock market is not for retirement, it's for getting rich quicker than a savings account at a far higher risk. Those that lost everything and complained simply were undereducated as to what they were doing.
On crisis like this, the smart move is to buy while the stocks are down and NOT SELL anything.
Um yeah... I'm still waiting for my PANAM stock to bounce back. Let's see...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_American_World_Airways oh yeah they collapsed.
No. you do NOT wait it out. I followed the exact advice you gave in the late 80's,m early 90's and lost my shirt.. "they are too big to fail" bla bla bla.
Stock trading is nothing more than gambling. Anyone that tells you otherwise is a big fat liar. Treat it like gambling and get out when you can to minimize losses, if you are smart and keep watching you will take that cash and buy other stocks that are recovering when they are low. you get a greater return on investment and minimize your loss potential.
Sticking with a sinking ship is like staying at the poker table because you're gonna win it all back!
Slashdot had this problem long before Digg even existed or was even an idea.
CmdrTaco tried several ways of dealing with it, but it still exists today. Shill accounts designed to moderate down a disliked opinion. Mod down mobs. I have seen this stuff in action on lots of people's posts.
Typically the shill actions and mob actions get undone by the general populace but you can see the effects by looking at the moderation of a hot topic post. 30+ moderations with a crapload of overrated,troll, etc.. when the post was 100% op topic are a prime example of this.
It's not an expiration date... It's a sell by date. They recently read the rest of the print that was across the south pole because of the global warning...
We hope to be able to read the UPC code within 3 more years.
If all you added was a Linksys wifi AP then you deserve to have a freeloader there in your store. Quit being a cheap bastard and buy a Real captive portal setup that when the customer buy's their Double caf-decaf soy latte they get a code on the receipt that gives them 1 hour. That's more than enough time. Now your freeloaders have to buy something once an hour to stay online.
Problem is most of these coffee shop owners are cheap bastards that balk at the cost of a proper setup that would work fine for the next 5 years. If they cant cheap out with a $59.00 toy and have cousin timmy who is handy with 'puters do it for free, they dont want it.
They will discover what many here have... Drop the wifi they lose a lot of customers.
Almost everyone but the sales people and over caffeinated webmonkeys care about Web 2.0 The rest of us hate it as all it does is slow down the internet in general.
All your extra javascript to do sliding jiggling pop up windows does not impress me or anyone else. Stop it.
How about STRAIGHT HTML and CSS.. if your page load times are not under 4 seconds then your design is a complete and utter failure.
Yup the guy is a loser to begin with. you dont drink like that when you have Diabetes. you also dont ignore injuries when you have that disease either.
It's just a good example of how redneck we still are here in michigan....
A friend of mine is a Mason and he said it's next wednesday at 4:35pm. Unfortunately the Holy Grail will not be available as it's currently in their vaults awaiting re-release after a hiatias to drum up more interest..
I guess the Aliens from area 51 stole the thunder out of seeing the holy grail, and a dumbass in the dayton Ohio Temple drank from it when they last had it and his head melted.
No it's that B&N and Borders tried to subvert the definition of a book store.
The good Ol'e mom and pop book store, the type I go to a LOT has new books and used books. you had a choice and a HUGE selection to go through. B&N and Borders have a small selection compared even to a tiny 800sq foot mom and pop bookstore.
I still buy books at book stores, just not trendy latte' sipping, yuppie hangouts. There are a couple of good mom and pop bookstores around here that have been in business for 50 years. Their son now runs it.
The difference is... He makes a living wage, the store is taken care of and he can hire 2 employees at a decent wage.
Barnes and Noble stores have to support a Overpaid store manager, a bunch of staff, trendy location costs, a trendy high cost brand coffee shop, and on top of that a franchise that require top profits.
I guess it's why well run small business always survive when the big corperate stores fail.
Sorry but I stopped buying books at B&N for one reason... Obscene prices. sorry but $69.99 for a book on Python programming is robbery. When I can get the same book on Amazon.com for $29.95.
Or how about the photography books ranging from $49.99 to $129.99 for an Ansel Adams coffee table book... Exact same books on Amazon.com for less than 1/4 the price.
I'm sorry. But I buy almost nothing from them.... Except their clearance books, those are honest pricing. Everything else I buy elsewhere.
We had the kids unloading a semi truck and stacking boxes in the warehouse. It was exciting to see 6, 12 year olds try to carry a 62" plasma TV.. Little timmy is all right after it fell flat on him. They got all the glass out of his chest.
It was soo cute to see Little Steve try and carry a 72" rack on his back.. and how they all cried when the dock manager screamed at them to stop screwing around and suck it up...
and everything else. 99% of home improvements are done without permits and by idiots that buy crap at home depot after watching some bad TV show about remodeling for $1.99..
The number of houses I saw that looked nice until you looked closely and saw it was a train wreck were insane.. a LOT of houses are half assed by the owners.
Yup things like capacitors diodes and voltage regulators.
Even the $4.99 cheapies I found online filter all that out. A DMM is junk for checking that use a digital storage scope.... less than.1v ripple from the cheapie I got online.
Now the caps will blow up in 16 months... but that's a different issue.

if warning lights on your dash causes you to freak out and flip over your car or drive dangerously, then you should not be driving.

Render a PDF file correctly so I can view it.
I have a crapload of technical PDF's I use daily, and all the Android PDF reader apps suck horribly.
Why cant anyone make a decent PDF app for these things?

It's called the butt plug.
Yes it does...
Vroom! Vroom! I'm a bugatti! Vroom!

I love bring your kids to work day.
they already have the right away for the train. center of the road way. that grassy part between the lanes.
Or better yet, posts on either side, platform above.. they do this everywhere, most of chicago is that way.
and everything else. 99% of home improvements are done without permits and by idiots that buy crap at home depot after watching some bad TV show about remodeling for $1.99..
The number of houses I saw that looked nice until you looked closely and saw it was a train wreck were insane.. a LOT of houses are half assed by the owners.
HGTV causes most of this.
FACT: you dont own your land. The state and city does. They can take it from you at any time.
Land ownership is one of the biggest lies this country has. you dont own anything. you rent it.
Yup things like capacitors diodes and voltage regulators.
Even the $4.99 cheapies I found online filter all that out. A DMM is junk for checking that use a digital storage scope.... less than .1v ripple from the cheapie I got online.

That's what the pub is for... thankyouvery....BUGGER OFF!
It also requires special infrastructure to be built, it CANT drive off the tracks it's already on.
Build an elevated platform, slap a train up there. CALL IT DONE.
