Most "in dash" GPs's are inferior than a $99.00 pocket cheapie.
Why? well the Updates for in dash units are typically so outlandish that nobody buys them A buddy of mine has a BMW 525i that it will cost him $399.00 for the map data update discs, he bought a pocket garmin unit he stuck to the windshield.. I buy a new $99.00 garmin yearly and that not only gives me a new map data set, but new hardware to boot!
Plus I get POI data. press one button and it will tell me that the next two exits have gas stations and restaurants..
Nope, it's dumb to spend a couple grand on an in dash unit and then pay out the butt yearly for updates.
Just take all the money I'm promised by the several Nigerian bankers and kings that have been offering me cash over the past month, There's at lease 2.2 billion right there.
The Artist formerly known as the USSR will never allow it. Cripes they kept Mir in orbit with duct tape and chewing gum for 5 years after expected life, They could keep ISS up there operational well into 2020.
What we used in the "good ol' days" of hacking were "back to back" modems. we would find a phone room that was unattended at a business park or building and start rooting around on phone lines until we found some that were used for outgoing only or unused, yes there are LOTS of active phone lines that were unused. you could then easily get the phone number by calling a friend in a LATA that had the new fancy caller ID, or simply social engineer the operator. conenct ott he line dial zero and say, "this is field tech jones, can I get a line id?" 99% of the time they simply gave you the number and hung up.
You then gut a termination box that was unused and stack a pair of modems in there. RS 232 to each other, set one for auto answer.
Now you can call that modem and issue AT command to dial out. I personally set up at least 12 of these for my own use back in the 80's when I was experimenting.
I then set up a pad of paper with my list and numbered them. Roll a die and dial that callout node to make it more random.
Now to make it more "secure" you would wire a normally closed pushbutton to the case that was held open when closed. you ran 110V to it and hid the wires. when someone opens the box, it dumps 110V into the power and +V lines on the RS232 smoking both modems. This let you know that one of your boxes were compromised or discovered as it will not longer answer.
Simply do something like this. Use TOR exit nodes or other means of masking your location. short of really high end FBI agents they will never figure out where you are.
You got the right idea. Simply "STEAL" open wifi at random locations. a biquad antenna fits in a pocket and can suck up a strong wifi signal from nearly a 1/4 mile away if you have a clear shot.
Also dont follow a pattern. if you get online, sign up for a free VPn trial with a ddisposable address and connect to it and then to twitter, or another place. be random and never EVER use the same path twice.
Actually the rules you would use to hack computer networks in the old days apply heavily here.
You got it. Disappearing is actually VERY EASY if you understand what you have to do and actually do it.
Calling ANYONE you used to know is out. using ANY of your online stuff is OUT.
You have to cut it and leave it all alone, in fact train yourself to use a different name, easy to do if your first name is incredibly common. John's have it really easy.
Everyone who get's caught did so because they did not leave their old life alone.
Um no. You can do guidance without a GPS reference that is pretty darn accurate. In fact, using the various marker transmitters around an airport you can easily detect if you are lined up and on the glide path.
I remember my IFR training, there is a whole lot of other info for landing an airplane that you have outside a GPS.
Of course not. It causes a ripple in the field bubble and will start a cascading collapse killing everyone inside or transporting pieces of them to random locations. We would have arms and other body parts fused to buildings all across Cupertino and that would be a big Faux Pas in social circles.
To avoid being embarrassed at the next dinner party keep all things android at least 20 feet from your apple iPhone or iTouch.
That's just it, the system IS there to transfer license ownership, they simply choose to not allow it.
I should be able to sell my copy of a book I am done with to a used ebook store, they get my license, then resell it to another person, transferring the license. The technology to do this is not hard. They simply choose to not allow it because it helps eliminate used sales.
Just like how I cant transfer my CD key for Unreal Tournament 3 to a friend of mine. When I activated it the CD key became worthless to anyone but me and my login. I cant sell that used PC game. Which is why I stopped buying PC games and went to a console where they cant play that game.
A very good friend of mine is a eBook writer. and they DO all their own formatting. illustrations are not, typically they have some college kid slapping together stock images in photoshop.
Dont fool yourself that they have a $130,000 a year paid artist doing their illustrations. IT's all minimum wage they can get away with.
But a ebook retailer needs only 5 sq feet of store space plus bandwidth. something that costs 1/40th of what it costs to run 1 barnes and Noble store in one mall.
Therefore if your costs of operation drop drastically, then your price should drop as well to reflect that. Oh wait, they cant see that because of the Dollar Signs in their eyes from doing the exact same calculation and seeing profit margin jump drastically.
I'd be all over ebooks IF I can do the following...
move the ebooks to my new reader from a DIFFERENT COMPANY without contacting someone.
Share an ebook with my wife on HER READER.
Sell my used ebooks at a used ebook store.
The first two they can do, they choose not to. The last, they want used book stores to die, they hate the idea of anyone buying their "precious" second hand.
Actually they do offer one great function. One time use credit card numbers. these completely bypass any scumbag tricks like this. The credit card number I give a site is good for only the amount I set the number for. Paypad had this feature 3 years ago and I used it on a lot of "iffy" sites. http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/account/VDCFrequentlyAskedQuestions-outside
Because Amazon did not give me free DLC on the release of the last game I bought prerelease. and Amazon had it for the EXACT SAME release price plus shipping.
If you blew through 12 boxes of rounds by shooting at cans from a holstered position, you would be better than 90% of the other cowboys out there at a pistol duel.
if you did it on a regular basis you could easily win every one you were in.
You CAN do that by limiting the amount of data created.
#1 - Store loyalty cards? GET RID OF THEM. #2 - Use ONLY CASH for every transaction. Some really big ones you cant, but you can limit the data creation. #3 - DONT register warranty cards, or registration of anything. #4 - Xbox live user? Use a not connected to you information base and ONLY use scratch and sniff cards. make a random person that cant be connected to you, this is not hard. #5 - Prepaid cellphone with only cash bought minutes from cards linked to fake information.
There are a lot more, but it can be done. The problem started with YOU not getting verbally upset with banks selling your information to everyone. Along with stores, etc... The time to have stopped this was 20 years ago before an entire industry was created around collecting data on everyone.
Some places now have cameras at the card swipe machine pointing at your face from the keypad. I guarentee these are taking a snapshot of you and can be used to attach your cash purchase to you. Simply covering the camera before you enter view will solve that.
If you want to protect your information and privacy you have to work hard at it because your government does not care one tiny bit about it.
Lots of horrible things happened. Insides of coffins from the earlier centuries were found to have scratch marks from the people inside waking up. Many declared dead were not dead but simply very sick. etc....
Honestly, How would you like to be incapacitated but aware and thrown onto a pyre... Yay! my last moments are insane amounts of agony as I am burned to death.

Not the same thing, that does not support games that don't have a "lan gaming" function.
Now the ISS will have shuttles up on blocks in the yard.... a mangy pitbull in a space suit tethered by the front porch..
Rednecks in spaaaaace...... Nope the other countries wont put up with it.

Because the demand for a "fake" Xboxlive server just became reality.
Someone will hack one together in short order and post the code out there.
I love it when Microsoft creates a need for someone to completely hack a service they were providing and decided to end.

Holy crap you guys have some evil bugs.

They call it the virtual debit card.

In other words..... Practice.

It's near earth orbit. INSIDE the magnetosphere which removes a huge amount of radiation from the equation.
Big difference there.
Because the employees are too stupid to hit rotate?
