WPA basically generates a new WEP key for each packet. It's a bit more complicated than that, obviously (there must be a pattern that the AP and client can follow).
I've also found a tool that lets you run WPA cracks with CUDA or Stream for about a 20-50x speed increase.
A free market cannot exist without regulation. Without regulation, everything becomes a monopoly as the largest companies erect barriers to entry for their competitors.
Now you want to let other companies come in and use what is still being built before the telcos and cable companies have recouped their expenses on building the platform out? If they open it up, fine, but they better allow for the competition to be charged enough for using the infrastructure so that the telco/cable companies can earn money back on their infrastructure investment to continue building it out.
Didn't we give them a big subsidy about 15 years ago to build a fiber infrastructure?
I actually had a gas bill the last couple months and couldn't figure out why I had any usage charges. I asked around, and now I think it's my water heater.
Still have a $5/mo tax and a $3/mo "connection fee."
More like how important it is to AT&T not to have network neutrality codified into regulation. This move is only to mollify the FCC and get them off their backs so they can still double-dip by charging companies running popular sites for "preferential" (read non-degraded) access to AT&T subscribers.
All of the data binding controls fail to properly HTML encode strings coming from a database. This makes virtually all ASP.NET applications ripe for exploits via XSS or other script injection attacks. The one time I wrote an ASP.NET app, I had to spend weeks going through and replacing all of the simple-looking bind statements with explicit calls to a method that would both bind and encode. Even in the upcoming 4.0 release, the flaw is still there. I suspect that it won't ever get fixed.
To be fair, that's the kind of thing Microsoft really can't fix: plenty of people depend on outputting HTML stored in the database, and making escaping the default would break these users. We can debate the usefulness of Microsoft's compatibility-über-alles approach, but you can't fix that problem and preserve backward compatibility.
Compatibility is Microsoft's bread and butter. Case in point: Linux netbooks. Why were so many of them returned? "I can't play my Windows games? OMG WTF BBQ!"
I believe WU already has Microsoft's certificates installed, so there is no need for it to go download them from the internet, which is how this attack works. When the user tries to download the certificate from the internet, the attacker replaces the certificate with his own and tricks the user's browser into thinking his certificate belongs to the web site the user is trying to access.
OTOH, Linux is vulnerable to this attack too- maybe even more so thank Windows. Windows FF users get the latest updates pretty much instantly, while Linux FF users have to wait for the update to show up in the repository, so when a fix is created, it might take longer for it to be applied to Linux users.
You don't seem to understand the flawed business model that communications providers have been running with since the beginning. They never had enough capacity for their customers. They could, but they need to pay their CEO's $20M bonuses instead of grow their infrastructure.
Wow, only $20M to put in a $1.7Bn infrastructure upgrade, with $2.3Bn extra costs to implement it with strong integration to the current infrastructure and while prematurely terminating part of the current infrastructure before value's been realized on it? You must be the best business process accountant ever!

Is it even a problem if nobody else uses your computer?
Why can't we just allow companies like UPS and FedEx deliver mail?
SSL doesn't always mean secure either.

Location based Wifi actually doesn't need to connect to an AP, it just looks its MAC address up in a database, such as this one.
Even if you have WPA2/AES, your AP still broadcasts this information.

Has it been that long?
Can someone help me install Trumpet Winsock so I can get my Windows 3.11 system in the internet using PPP?
Just install AOL. There should be a disk for it in almost any magazine.
Once you're done, you can format the disk and use it as a Windows Me startup disk.

Lawsuits are becoming the standard way of competing these days.
Why can't Nokia just work on making a great product that is better than the iPhone? And market it better.
Guess who is the number one political gift donor in America is.

I just saw them get pwn3d on Sharktank yesterday.
What a shame...
You mean just like going outside and taking a walk in real life? But why would I want to do that?
Maybe you live in a bad neighborhood and don't want to get shot. Or perhaps if you go outside and are exposed to sunlight, your body will melt.

I'd expect nothing less from the number one political gift donor in America.

He probably got a government bailout
That's what I've heard.
Australia is the perfect example of what can go wrong if we don't keep our ISPs under control.
I hope they get this patent. Then I won't have to deal with any of this crippleware B.S. anymore, as long as I don't buy a phone from Apple.
I seem to remember a ./ article about the Chinese version of Skype having a backdoor.
I tried Magicjack but the call quality was terrible. It wasn't my internets because I just had the number forwarded to my regular phone.
Then Google Voice came along...
When girls "find out" I'm smart, they must think I'm boring or uncool because they instantly move away from me.
I've already discovered an app that makes me dumber: alcohol.
There is a typo in #4:
consumers will quickly see their "broadband" speeds dropping down to the 50 mb/s area,
Should be 50kb/s.
I put WEP on my router. I don't mind people using it, just as long as they're not n00bs.
I always wondered why ethernet always is incremented in powers of 10. Why not 2gbps, 5gbps, etc?
