I live in Newton, right on Chestnut Hill, aka 'Heart Break Hill', and I have AT&T. No reception at my apartment, and I can completely forget about it at my girlfriend's apartment right up the road.
That said, does anyone know of a good cell phone with an extendible antenna?
Completely off topic here, but how do you think either person, or if it matters, anyone who wins the office will deal with California's public inititivies (teacher / student ratios, emmissons limits, etc.) and cut spending at the same time?
Then again, I guess we really don't need street cleaning, road repair, weights and messurements, law enforcement, fire fighters, libraries, forests and parks, schools, public health, street lights, farm aid, social nets, or anything else to help the people, just as long as the taxes are low.
No, actually all jobs are commodities, just that the companies haven't figured out / don't want to figure out a way ship the middle / upper management out either.
My only thought on this is this: With so many jobs being outsourced, who the hell is going to be left with the disposable income to buy these goods and services?
Why not just get the law enforcement all bothered by the fact that criminals will love DRM!
DRM will allow them to encrypt their illegal doings, so the data can't be moved off of the PC / DRM device without the invegated person knowing that someone else was trying to access their system.
Then think about the whistleblowers who wouldn't beable to report things to the EPA / FBI / SEC. Then start with the terrorist, and what a DRM system would do to protect their actions.
But, but, law enforcement would have a special access to the system, people will say. Yeah, and how long will that be until that's hacked? DMCA or no DMCA.
If I recall correctly, that was the first movie that had real computer generated CGI effects on screen (not to mention a ton of money spent on Cray's supercomuter time).
Also the TV show 'Amazing Stories' had the first CGI opening. You could compair those effects to those of Babylon 5, to show how far things have come since the 80s.
Agree 100%- But not everyone has the time or the ability to read and understand something of a technical nature. I'll use my sister as a case in point.
My sister and her husband bought a fax / scanner / printer machine from HP this past May. When I was visiting them, I was asked I would make it work, since they couldn't figure it out (two very smart people too).
'Of course' I told them, 'I'd be happy too'.
The first thing I did was sit down and read the instructions, and then started to install the software. While that was going on I hooked all the hardware together- which caused my sister to become all confused. So I asked her if she had read the instructions, to which she said 'Yes, I got to this point and it doesn't work'.
I then asked her if she had finished reading the instructions, to which she replied 'No, because I didn't see this' as she pointed to the page.
If she had read the whole instructions then she would have known what to do beyond the point where she was stuck, and had some solutions to make the PC and the printer / fax / scanner work together. (I would also place some blame on HP for their product, since the instructions where not the clearest written, but that's another topic)
My point is that even if someone does read the manual, and learns how to use the machine, understanding the WHY and HOW are equally important, and then there are people like my sister who just don't have the time, and expect things to just work. (And don't even get me started on the laptop connected to the net without a firewall...)
Print the exploit up on flyiers and post them around the campus in the middle of the night. A few 100 of them should get the attention of the campus IS people who'll talk to company and they'll issue the fix.
But, could you have this engineered so each camera only costs $10?
Encryption == CPU power
CPU power != Cheap
That I am thinking is the real question, and at this price point, I'm going to guess that they've come up with a simple non-standard datalink to do the downloading of the images. Far simpler, and cheaper.
I think that it is more of being given repect for the OS that has been developed by the community at large. And by giving someone close to the source a higher chair than 'Special Supporting Member'- our concerns and issues might be better heard.

Page 6 of the PDF. So my question is, where is the general hacker's community input going to be at? What about those who do a ton of hacking and development, but don't belong to any of these companies- where will that voice be found in this orginization's structure (answer: it doesn't appear in the membership charter). There are questions that should be asked that I haven't seen being asked yet...
I don't think it would take much to spin up a disk drive and have the heads move back and forth randomly. And I doubt the avg. user would even know the difference.
As much as they wish they can sell their stock, the SEC would nail them to the wall, and the way the public is feeling, I doubt 'Club Fed' would be in the cards.
I shoot photos for fun,and have been told that I'm quite good at it. I also travel, sail and teach sailing, do things with my girlfriend, ski, bike, run & work out, read, and garden.

Iq Nobel Prize this.
How about this:
All the other discoveries that merit recognition too.

Bingo.
I'm sure this will be corrected on appeal.

But then Schrodinger's Cat started to play with it.
Now all I have is a mess.

But outside of that, I think he is right to setup the rules for his site and operate his site the way that he wants to.

Of course there is the light sculpture in England that was noticed for one fact: birds flying overhead tended to burst into flames.
Then the community will have their work orders on what to fix first.

You forgot that NBC is owned by GE, which besides making great products, also built nuclear weapsons at one time.
Although I'd think that 'Friends' in it's own right should be considered a WMD.

So SPAM is legal, as long as the SPAMMER does follow the 'Do Not Email Me Again' rule.
Not impling anything illegal, just think it's interesting!

Two words:
Insider Trading.
As much as they wish they can sell their stock, the SEC would nail them to the wall, and the way the public is feeling, I doubt 'Club Fed' would be in the cards.
A better question is why someone hasn't just bought a few junk drives to mod and hide the 'active' drives.
That thunderclap your heard is from the collective forhead slap "gee why-didn't-I-think-of-that".
