With all the personalizable cards out there (email them a picture and they make it the background of the card), many credit cards don't look like "regular" cards anyways. About the only thing that would give it away (and be difficult to change on-the-fly) would be the embossed numbers. Since the numbers on the front are never presented electronically at any time to the cashier would never know if you simply used fake numbers and only changed the electronic part.
So basically, the CC companies have already destroyed the "fishing looking card" reflex. This is just new (potentially cheaper) hardware that you don't have to solder together yourelf.
Then either paypal or the shopping cart frameworks need to fix their broken code. When paying for things online is the LAST place I want to see 3rd party cookies!
For some reason filesystem drivers (be they physical, usb, network, etc) appear to be VERY hard to write for windows. I have yet to see a 3rd party filesystem driver for windows that wasn't either broken or unstable. This includes NFS, EXT, even encrypted volumes. The best we've been able to get in most cases is a 3rd party file manager that can read/write the partitions, almost none of them work with the default file browser.
I've played with some of the ext "drivers" for windows and they are shit. I actually discovered one day that you can't use truecrypt and the ext3 driver at the same time, they just stop working. You have to stop one in order to run the other.
Not every littlw subproject has to be profitable - you just need the whole shebang to make money, and it's often not obvious where the profitability will emerge.
The xbox has never been either of these things, and very few people suspect it ever will.
Even if you had a spare charged-up battery this meant a complete shutdown.
Nice to see this new project will have hot-swappable battery capability.
That's what I used to do until I got out of the car and it fell out of my pocket and got run over (screen is TOAST). Now using an N9 which is a much better phone (best UI I have *ever* used), but not nearly as good of a hacking device:(
I'm guessing the hot-swap will require the device to be plugged in when switching batteries which to the best of my recollection could already be done with the N900.
If you want to know what a normal log looks like for your ISP, ask one of your neighbours who has the same ISP if you can download their logs (preferably with the same model of router) and compare them. It's hard to find a possible attack in a log file if you don't know what a clean one looks like first!
Have you tried disabling the vonage and/or directtv devices? Sometimes they can be horribly configured by default and cause lots of traffic problems. Also, you've never stated your expected internet speed. Perhaps your connection is just too slow to handle Vonage and DirectTV at the same time...
All of the linksys routers I've ever used support MAC Address spoofing in the default firmware. I think it's labeleb "MAC Address Cloning". The reason for including such a feature is probably to facilitate swapping out routers without having issues with the ISP seeing a new MAC address.
For example, my ISP allows 2 IP's per home connection. This means if I connect 3 machines to the modem (through a switch), only the first 2 successfully get an IP via DHCP, the third never gets a response. The funny part is upstream tracks the MAC->IP relation while the *MODEM* tracks how many it has given out, so if you have routers Alpha and Bravo connected, then disconnect Bravo and replace it with Charlie, Charlie won't get an IP address unless I powecycle the modem (trust me, I've done that a FEW times).
Allowing customers to clone the MAC of their previous router just avoids a whole bunch of issues.
Years ago at a LAN party we were playing counter strike and one of my friends tried putting my joystick in left-hand mode to use for walking. Other than the spring being a little too stiff, it actually worked quite well.
The vents is in front of the screen (above the keyboard) and gets blocked when the screen is closed. This has been a known issue since they first came out and Apple's response is "it goes to sleep when you close it".
Interresting idea, but don't apple laptops overheat if used with the lid shut? I thought that was the reason they made it so damn hard to disable the "sleep when lid closes" feature.
display port can handle a rediculous amount of screen realestate (something like 4 1080p displays simultaneously) and the laptop shouldn't have much issue if it's being used for work stuff (gaming might be an issue at those resolutions). Most thinkpads have a display port and the splitters aren't terribly expensive.

"Close" is a vertical downward swipe captured at the window manager level.

And watch as millions of android users try to figure out why they can't download the pictures off that card using their windows computer.

Of all the types of software in the world, codecs are by FAR easiest to prove as simply "math" (which is not patentable).
Even if we ignore the statistics you pulled from your ass, art isn't patentable either.

Uh huh, maybe people should have their phones go on silent during the night...

I think the key is that they do LESS of it.
Same here, it's just that I have never seen an OCZ product that didn't have a damn mail-in rebate.
I didn't see anything in that link that says anyone has actually gotten it to work.
Maybe if your coders didn't do all of their compiling with the warnings turned off in the first place the code reviews would go faster...

Ironically it has to send the data down the ground first!
internet != the Internet
The "I" is capitalized in "The Internet."

Karma whoring as an AC is kind of poinless...
