Not too long after Black Friday I had the same idea of using Bitcoin currency instead of real moolah. A site called Betcoin had already done this using the jpoker/jspoker library. I frequented the site for a while and even went back to it months later. In both cases the volume of people on the site was extremely low and the amount of bitcoin compared to real USD value was paltry even in comparison to the Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 tables. There just wasn't enough money in circulation on the site and not many people wanted to stake their futures on the volatile Bitcoin currency in the poker world. Plus, anyone that did any decent research just found various overseas and Indian-owned online casinos (harder for the US Gov to prosecute Indian territory casinos in Canada) and could exchange money by select Visa merchants, cash proxy sites, or by money order.
Yes, that is the biggest mistake no-name wireless installers and IT consultants (i.e. the guy installed a wireless AP in his house and now he's an expert) do with small businesses is they use different SSIDs and WEP keys for each access point. It is extremely annoying. Use the same SSID and the same WEP/WAP key for each access point. In the 802.11X standard, it is the responsibility of the wireless client to automatically determine which AP is best and automatically switch and potentially hop channels. You will want slight overlap of the wireless zones, but don't place them too far away or to close to each other. Be aware of any areas where a "firewall" is installed (not an electronic firewall, but a wall with extra insulation that protects different areas from spreading fire) and plan APs accordingly. One you place the APs with approximate locations, do a slow walk-around with your laptop and use airsnort to get signal strengths and tweak AP location before physically installing them in the ceiling or walls or wherever. A popular thing for businesses with the removable ceiling tiles is to cut a small hole in the tile and let the APs antenna(e) point downwards in to the actual normal airspace. Of course, this typically requires running power in to the crawlspace somehow.
I for one am stockpiling canned meat in my bomb shelter for 2038. By the time 2038 comes, software will be so virtualized and there will be so many layers between operational computer software and what's under the hood that it will take at least a decade to fix this problem in our future society.
I know it's kind of a waste of time, but most programmers recognize portions of code they have worked on and will notice when the code has changed. If you consistently refactor his code in to something significantly more readable with fewer lines, it is likely he will notice the change and see your patterns and follow suit. If he doesn't follow suit, he will probably complain to management and then you can properly defend yourself when he's the one instigating the conversation.
Thanks for the reference but that is still horribly old solar cell technology. I was actually looking at the Suniva Optimus 315w stuff at the time which uses a monocrystalline structure rather than polycrystalline for better efficiency. But as you can see, 17% efficiency like the module you linked is absolutely horrible compared to the tech that is out there. Most of it is really only available in highly commercial multi-array installations well outside the price range of the average consumer. I'm just saying I see a new/. article about once every 4 months lauding the newest solar cell technology that is going to change the world on its face and none of it is trickling down.
I did some research a couple of years ago and the cost recoup was still somewhere between 10-15 years for installing solar just for the cost of the hardware and not including labor. It's hard to put up that kind of capital outlay just to save around $100 on my monthly electricity bill. I decided I could save a lot more money by applying that same amount of money to my mortgage. I keep hearing about new solar technology that is tons more efficient, but where is all that new tech?
Well isn't it obvious? Every day the earth warms means that more and more people are sinning and not asking for forgiveness. Eventually Satan will come out of the depths (followed closely by an annoying sounding English speaking Saddam Hussein) to literally rain fire and bring hell to earth and all the sinners that remain. And everybody in heaven will be standing on unfrozen icebergs that encase tons of carbon while looking down on all the bad people burning and suffering in eternal damnation.
So will this 100% free processor follow a 100% free fabrication process? What is the use in being worried about dependencies on proprietary vendors' architectures in order to support 3rd, 4th generation processors when the ability to replace 3rd, 4th generation processors with an equivalent part requires production through a proprietary vendor manufacturing processes?
No, in both cases the pawn shop owner (or Tor node operator in this case) wasn't explicitly aware that their business (or Tor node) was being used to steal goods (or illegal online activity). The pawn shop owner (or Tor node operator) is likely aware that running a pawn shop (or Tor node) carries the risk that illegal goods (or illegal online activity) will be filtered through, though predictive knowledge itself is not a crime. Rather than seeking the assistance of the business owner (or Tor node operator) in tracking down the perpetrator, the authorities chose to instead implicate the business owner (or Tor node operator) directly for the illegal activities of the perpetrator who utilized the business owner's (or Tor node operator's) property to carry out those illegal activities.
See how that analogy works there? If they arrested all pawn shop owners who had facilitated the stealing of stolen goods without explicit knowledge then likely all pawn shop owners would be arrested.

Try reading the parent again "the best human chess player can beat the NOT-BEST computer chess programs".
So it is doubtful that Garry Kasparov would lose to Chessmaster XI at its highest AI on a normal computer a.k.a. not Deep Blue.
The vulnerability itself was discovered during a Cisco Linksys product security evaluation for a client
has the kind of money to poney up for a security evaluation of this magnitude and buys freakin' crappy a$$ Linksys?
And replying to slashdot articles and comments.

colleagues believe that Oahu will continue to grow for as long as 1.5 million years.
So what you're saying is, we've got some time?
A fantastic, knowledgeable, and extensive response to my question. Thank you for all the fair warning.
Bad@SS!!! That is most perfect. If I could mod replies to my posting I would mod you +1 Very Helpful!
Thank you, that was a very useful link!

I just did a google search and couldn't find VCL. Can anybody link me to the project/documentation?

I have a cold with congestion and my tummy hurts.
There /., you now have my medical record. I hereby require you to keep this post retrievable by me for at least the next 7 years.

I guess they should arrest all pawn shop owners as they often facilitate the fencing of stolen goods.
I have it on good authority that Techno Viking is excitedly awaiting the construction of his summer home in northern Greenland.

I am sorry you are so ill-informed. The patent system is not broken. It is purposefully confusing and complex to help drive innovation in fast paced industries like the smartphone sector. Don't believe me? Just ask hundreds of envious countries and tens of millions of employed American workers.
