Send a CSS encrypted iso of the data on a WEP encrypted wireless network that requires HDCP to display on her monitor with a signature generated by LM hashes from an unpatched, unfirewalled Windows 98 box.
I flashed 3 WRT54Gs with DD-WRT: mine, my brother's, and one for my church. Of the three, two of them suddenly had all the lights come on solid one day and were completely bricked.
This is of course, is all bullshit. With the exponentially rising number of bits that are being shoved around the internet these days, it would be trivially easy to hide terrorist instructions in on a bit torrent DL, a usenet post, a youtube video, or a flickr picture. And if you're a really creative terrorist you can even use encryption!
At least we won't have to worry about making backups anymore.
Russia and China are moving in one direction and becoming more free. The UK and the US are moving in the other direction. Russia has closed its gulags and the US has opened its own...
I think a few Russian journalists would beg to differ (if they were still alive, that is).
As I understand it, the Prime Minister and House of Lords are appointed, not elected. Is there any concept of term limits in the UK parliament? What recourse do UK citizens have?
Exactly. They just want to charge the 5% of users extra because they are probably willing to pay more for it.
Not that there's normally a problem with that, but if Canadian ISPs are like those in the US, you probably have only two choices and can't switch to a competitor who charges less.
Ha ha ha... true, but think about this: if skinny and fit were the average then people would consider fat to be "hot", then chubby ladies would be in high demand by the industry.
In order to be considered beautiful things have to be uncommon too.
Actually, much of attraction is based on biology. But then again, a woman who weighs more is more likely to have healthy children.
This seems to beg the question, if we can ever create a replicator that will make a perfect copy of things without doing any harm to the original will making a new item be called stealing?
I guess that's why they don't use money on Star Trek. It would have been interesting to see a Ferengi episode with someone getting charged for illegal use of a replicator.
I know its been said many times before, but how are any of these patentable? A 3d controller with vibration - how can a patent office and a judge believe that qualifies as non-obvious and novel? Not only that, but on all of these controllers surely all of the playstation controllers, the n64 controller, dreamcast constitute prior art?
1. Create vaguely worded patent, using complex technical terms to describe very simple ideas.
2. Find patent office worker who has never used a computer before, or knows very little about it.
3. ???
4. Profit!
WiMAX would be nice, but until then, I'm trying to be part of the solution by keeping my WAP open. Hopefully others will follow suit, and companies that make routers will make it easier to do so without having your LAN pwned.
Oddly, the telcos start allowing metered access of their 3G networks; no all-you-can-eat plans anymore. In megabyte increments in one case.....
Sounds like they're trying to get us used to the idea again. Remember when AOL was $10 a month for 10 hours and $2 per hour extra for each additional hour? If that happened again, people would flip.
I hope consumers are smart enough to vote with their wallets when such policies come to DSL and Cable modems.
Ubuntu and Fedora have update managers. Why not ship Firefox 3 through the update manager in June?
I immediately downgraded to FF2 when I installed Hardy for the same reason I always wait a while for new versions of it to mature: none of my extensions from FF2 work in FF3.
i have one of those WRT54G routers and they are as light as a feather, the wifi radio part of it is probably no more powerful than one of those FRS radios you see for sale for 20 dollars (cheap and low power) i bet the transmitter does not kick out more than 1 watt...
The default, according to DD-WRT, is 28mW. DD-WRT lets you adjust it up to 230mW.

Yeah, viruses are small, free, and well-written.
Now nobody can switch to Mac or Linux without licensing a patent from Microsoft.
Guess that would make Linux a bodybuilder. He can eat whatever he wants and still kick both Mac and PCs asses.

Mine, fortunately, was the other one.
An 'American' suffices. A 'British' doesn't work- there is only 'the British', which is plural. So you need to say 'British Man'.

We tried that, but when people find out what a normal BMI is, they just cry and eat more comfort food.

I've got a better idea: let's require everyone to pass a test before using the internet at all.

True or false: Copyright infringement is stealing?
Guess I'd fail. :)
On the bright side, your family won't have to pay for the bullet that kills you.
...are they fun?

Not bad, but for $80 a month, it should be measured in nanoseconds.
Have you tried Skype or other VOIP services? They seem perfect for you.
