How on earth can you map the MAC (of assuming you wireless router) to a facebook account?
You can't without packet sniffing
Besides, it's the MAC which might be visible (don't know if it is) in the WIFI data a different one that the MAC used by the external interface which connects to the ISP?
I don't quite understand this (wording) but yes, the MAC address of the router is different from the DSLAMs'
OK, let me take the learned man's position and agree that I have something to hide...so I should worry. Is it a crime to have something to hide? I thought not.
Now what? Yes, I have something to hide so I am worried about my privacy....so just go away Google. Just go away. Will you just leave me and my "stuff" alone please.
Interest point you've raised here. The MAC addresses are a part of the internet protocol embedded in a device you own. The protocols are - presumably - licensed by the people who have sold you the device.
Part of that protocol is open broadcast of your address, so by buying said router under license and letting it broadcast, aren't you choosing to make said information public domain?
Alternatively, do you buy the MAC address along with the router. You purchase the physical hardware - and presumably the collection of bits inside - but does it say anywhere that the protocol you are using under license allows you to restrict access to that protocol implementation from any party you so desire to block?
wardriving involves the theft of bandwidth, which is a commodity.
What google are doing is similar to me driving around with my mobile going "oh I've just found a wifi link" and auto-logging the mac address broadcasting.
So if what google are doing is as illegal as wardriving, I'd better turn "automatically find wifi" option off on my phone...

A very important part of free speech is the ability to make fun of things, including, maybe even especially, the things people hold sacred.
I wish I had mod points now.
I'd also like to point out that - while certain people may whinge - CC are the censors here.
This is nothing more than the good old policies of liberal lore where certain races are predisposed to violence, theft, or just need help getting an education because they don't have the ability to do good on their own.
um. how are these liberal policies? I would have thought that the assumption that
...certain races are predisposed to violence, theft, or just need help getting an education...
smacks of the kind of racism conservatives are generally associated with.
Also understand that a radical change in the materials of the notes could lead to problems in compatibility with various automated systems that deal with them.
I think this is probably a bit more important than otherwise noted.
I don't see why CSIRO wouldn't license polymer notes, they license wireless networking...
Actually, there are parts of this game they don't want you destroying
In effect, you're probably not going to get buildings collapsing, a la Bad Company, because the engine relies on the structural integrity of larger objects. What you do get however, is hundreds of smaller props being blown to pieces, drastically re-shaping the immediate world around you.
So completely destructible? maybe not...
otherwise, everyone would just get the biggest weapon and collapse a guard tower on the enemies...
The theft began with an instant message sent to a Google employee in China who was using Microsoft’s Messenger program, according to the person with knowledge of the internal inquiry, who spoke on the condition that he not be identified.
By clicking on a link and connecting to a “poisoned” Web site, the employee inadvertently permitted the intruders to gain access to his (or her) personal computer...
How google missed a stupid employee? "But" (you yell) " there had to be a flaw that let them gain access!". Yes, there was a flaw:
The attacks took advantage of a flaw in Internet Explorer 6 that was quickly patched, although the damage had been done.
So a google employee in China was using IE6 and clicking on links from someone who claimed to be another employee who wished to remain anonymous?
Chinese students at the Australian University I attended did have the same reputation that you've described; and have all been in the same "wealthy international" circumstance. The lecturers did have to pull a few up for plaigerism...... but it was a Singaporean student who stole my work:(

Silly! You forgot the smug working class who no longer had the threat of industrial accidents, in exchange for lifting nothing heavier than a box!

I picked up a lovely dirt-cheap Chinese wireless card a month ago (Tenda from Jaycar in Oz for those interested).
Upon installation, the windows kept losing focus - type-type-type.. wtf (clicked back into the window).
Thought I'd watch the network traffic a bit, and sure enough; type-type-type.. window loses focus... network traffic spikes a smidgen...
In 1941 a gunship "disguised" as a merchant ship sunk the HMAS Sydney http://www.naa.gov.au/about-us/publications/fact-sheets/fs111.aspx
Sure this one's a missile, but anyone who thought merchant ships weren't a threat needs to read history.

I'm not a muslim, but I can speak on behalf of them based on what I see on my college campus.
I'm sorry, but on what basis can you speak for Muslims? based on "what [you] see"

They missed an idiot. Pure and simple.
Would that be the similar to the psychological ploy that seems to be planting the idea that the US is crashing as a country?
Coz from where I sit, you guys are doing fine. A bit fragile at the moment, but some positivity and you guy's'll be up and about in no time.
or you could keep China-bashing...
Thirded; thats a fantastic work.
Hey Victor,

What do you do when people don't compare signatures on your card/credit card slip?
So why then is it that the birthrate in the most developed countries is below sustainable levels?
because of the definition of sustainable levels.
