One not-so-obvious answer may be that the owner had fitted the vehicle with a remote-start system or a 3rd party alarm. In most cases when this is done with RFID enabled vehicles, they have to override the RFID system. The hack to get around this high-tech security? Stick a key under the dash within range of the receiver. This would allow most remote start systems to then work.
If the owner had done this and perhaps the perps had witnessed the victim using the remote-start vehicle, then they had a good target.
Yes, I read the article and read about the back doors, but there's another situation where owners are willfully overriding security systems in order to get the functionality that they want and the manufacturer doesn't give them. Sound familiar?
Windows XP SP2 changed this behavior and will use the autorun.inf file to autorun. I use this everyday to have Truecrypt automatically pop up to mount my encrypted volume on my USB drive.
I'm glad that people are now hesitant due to phishing scams and don't just jump at every thing they get in their email, BUT, this is not one of those times.
You try to register? No, apparently not due to your comments.
All you give them is your account number, billing zip code, and email address associated with the account. None of which is identifiable to you unless they have a direct connection with the Vonage system. As it were, they correctly identified me based on that information alone.
At any rate, it worked for me. Take off the tinfoil hat for just once though and check your facts before speculating wildly.
Just make all the components (memory, CPU, disks, interfaces) like Legos, and you'll be set. Need more RAM? Just add another block. Suzy needs some extra CPU for a big project, let her borrow your block for the day.
The bonus feature would be collecting enough hardware to make the Millenium Falcon out of your PC.
BeyondTV does use quite a bit of CPU just to do the commercial skipping scan after a program is recorded. If you have 11 shows recording at once, it'll take quite a bit of CPU to scan through all that content to remove commercials. I have a P3 and while everything works great, the comskip scanning gets behind after a while because the CPU can't keep up.
I'm not going to complain about stories constantly getting posted here after it was on digg days/hours ago, but seeing the exact same titles now is getting a bit ridiculous.
If you couple the plain annoyance from seeing a story duped and the slashdoting that is going to inevitably occur, this dupe really pisses me off. I'm a subscriber to Pandora and as soon as one slashdotting is over, then it gets digged. Then digged again, then slashdoted once more.
Enough with the dupes already! I'm looking at YOU slashdot and digg. I want to listen to my music in peace!
From Jamie on how the show together (he didn't pitch it)... Jamie: I was interviewed a while back about one of the above machines by our current producer. He had the idea for the show, approached me and there you go. I realized that I am a bit too serious and unanimated to carry a show, and recommended Adam and I work as a team. It turned out to be a good idea.
Just yesterday I was helping a neighbor clean-up his girlfriend's parents' computer (how do I get roped into things like that?) So, I install the 3 big ad-removers; Spybot S&D, Adaware, and MS AntiSpyware. I ran the MS one first since Spybot kept crashing when doing the cleanup (very mean buggers). I noticed that the Claria stuff was all set to ignore after it detected it. I didn't think much of it and set all of them to quarantine, but I did think it was a little odd.
Look at the MTBF of a drive or player before you buy it. You'll notice that the more expensive one probably has a higher MTBF. Sadly, that spec is becoming harder and harder to find pre-purchase. If you need, you could probably download the product manual and it should be listed in there.
As a side note, anyone notice the HUGE difference between a caddy drive and tray drive? I hung on to caddies as long as I could just because the drives were bullet-proof.
Or they could just do what Illinois did. Double the tolls for anyone not using the IPass (EZ-Pass, call it whatever). That way, use is "voluntary". If you want privacy, it costs you twice as much.
Why back in my day, my Turbo Express came with a handful of dead pixels. That was normal, because they were made by HAND. You attempt to return one of those because of a dead pixel or 5, you'd be laughed at. And mind you, this is when you're playing a game that was designed for a 20" TV on a 2.5" screen, so one pixel was really making you miss something.
Seriously though, it bugged the crap out of me back then, and I'd definately be returning my PSP when 0 dead pixels seem to be the norm for much larger screens. Stop cutting corners Sony!
It was very clear to me that I needed to setup my 911 information based on my physical location when I got Vonage. It was the first thing I did. I feel bad for the people this happened to, but it doesn't matter if you painted the box red and put big letters on it that said SETUP YOUR 911 CALLING, some people would still be oblivious.
Now, I'm not saying I'm smart, but here's what I noticed when taking tests in high school, and it later served me well in college.
I was one of the kids that could always be the first done. There were usually 1 or 2 others as well, and after a while, even if there's nothing said, there's a silent race going on between the smart kids to see who can finish first. Well, I'd be so caught up in the race that the pressure would quadruple the normal test scenario, and after a while I started bombing tests. I would just go completely blank, no matter how well I knew the subject matter.
I later said, screw those guys, it's not a competition for me anymore. Without the "race" factor, there was little pressure because I knew I would do fine given the standard amount of time. As time grew, I took more and more time to finish tests and would be one of the lasts done. However, I felt virtually no stress or pressure during the tests, was able to check my answers AT LEAST once before turning it in, and generally got one of the higher scores in the class.
Now in corporate America, you sometimes have to make quick decisions and then there's real pressure. I do okay, but I think others handle it a bit better than I do. However, when I have important decisions to make and the deadline is not looming, I don't feel guilty at all if I sleep on it.
Looks like you're looking for something like LabVIEW . I've done some pretty powerful stuff with it, including interacting with physical hardware (Like LEGO Mindstorms!), but I find it a PITA to do so much work with a mouse. I'd rather just code it. You may think it's a good idea, but when you end up with screens of interconnects and flowcharts that look like something straight out of a consultant's head, you may change your tune.

Anyways, CONFIRMED.
Oh, so there's only one page? I quit reading it because I figured there were 11 more pages and frankly, that much reading scares the crap out of me.

The researchers were baffled at this result. "They always beat us in the lab, so I don't understand how this could happen!"
