These are in fact "MITM as an amplifier" attacks. The key works by being within a certain range of the car - typically just a few feet. Boost that signal (both ways) enough, and the car is unlocked. The practical attack seems to be to steal a car parked on the street in front of the house/building the owner is in, as otherwise it's impractical (too many potential signals, too much amplification required).
A useful, related trick when hunting for your car in a big parking lot - you can double-triple the range at which your remote works to lock/unlock your car to find it by pressing the remote against the side of your head.
Try raising it above your head. The benefit comes from the height not the RF properties of a human head. Telling people to touch it to their head just get them to lift it higher.
Separate the variables. Touch the transmitter to your head, then foot and see if the range improves. Then stand on your head and touch the transmitter to your elevated foot and your ground level head. Report back with results.
Automatic vehicles exist but not in significant numbers. Companies like Hertz laugh their asses off by hiring them out to US visitors for a small fortune.
I'm British but live in the US with a US driving license. When I go to Europe and rent from Hertz, they will bump me over to an automatic, assuming I made a mistake when I asked for a manual. So they aren't getting any more money out of me, but they do get to give me horrible cars.
I think the problem here is that there is no credible scientific evidence showing gm foods are dangerous or different from organics or other foods.
FFS do keep up. Over the past 20 have you not noticed that the safety isn'i the issue? That's a strawman. The problems are with GMO farming practices which people hate.
I can't imagine why. Where have you been for the past two decades? Have you really missed the controversy, fearmongering, lies, and generally unscientific bollocks that lead up to this? This push for labeling is not coming from plant & agricultural scientists, and for good reason. It is coming from people who already stigmatize GE crops and wish to do so further.
The science pro GMers like to reference shows that GM food is safe to eat. That is moot. It's what GM seeds do to farming that rational people dislike and GMO labelling is a scheme to apply back pressure at the other end of the chain.
I'm a developer. I own a Macbook. It's got a nice box. It brings up a bash shell. I can ssh. I don't need to install linux on it to be doing the same things the same way I would be doing on Linux if I wasn't already logged into a Linux box over the network.
The only ones who made constructive comments (towards stronger security) were the ones you might expect not to.
My only experience with the FBI is of them waltzing into my standards meeting and demanding CALEA provisions be baked into the air interface, while I was busy specifying end to end crypto that would render it moot. Fun times. It was an open standards meeting. You could have been there too and enjoyed the show.
As the writer of proprietary code that is critical to the security of millions of products, I'm more than happy for the code to be seen by more people. The company requires NDAs, but once that's in place, we don't have qualms and it's been shared with customers who care to ask, certification bodies and governments who want a look-see. Develop code on the understanding that it will be looked at by adversaries, friends and bureaucrats. When you aren't embarrassed to show it, your code is in a better place.
Yeah, who cares if a few spies got killed because of Hillary's email server. Who cares if Hillary ordered her minions to copy information off the secure email system and send it unsecure. Who cares if the little people go to prison for far less. And who cares if Hillary set up the fucking thing so she could dodge FOIA.
Yeah who cares.
Fuck!
You care. But you care about consequences you inflated in your own head and you are blowing hard.

I had to produce my passport in Malaysia.
I got lots of uniques in Ingress though.
So who is this outside party? Who's going to be the first to file an FOIA request?
>Most of the packages you find in the pet section of the supermarket that have pictures of cats on them don't actually contain cat meat.

There, fixed that for you.
So being wrong about stuff is a sign of intelligence?
I'm lobbying for you to understand the fallacy of your argument.
Which of course is completely the same thing as putting genes from a glow-worm into a cat.
Well I'll be sure to avoid glowing cat meat as I go around the supermarket. I'll know they are GM even though it isn't labelled.
Not if being intelligent includes being right about stuff.

The safety of GMO food isn't in question. It the effect on farming practices that we hate.
With GMO labelling, Roundup Ready = sell your grain for less.
Why do you think it stigmatizes anything?

Modded offtopic? It must be a slow day for trolls.
I saw the witty banter yes. Since you had your sense of humor removed, you were unable to see it.

Clearly, you did not RTFA. The /. editors (or the submitter) got the capitalization wrong.
I did RTFA but I didn't pick up on that because I have human fallibility.
Well walking may indeed be the confounding factor, but someone would need to run a proper trial to find out.

Whoops, a little quantum superposition slipped in there.
A) Studies have shown that sitting is bad for you.
B) Studies have failed to show that standing is good for you.
Taken together this is pretty solid evidence that (A) is confounded in some way.

I envy the smooth, we polished phishes some people get. I just get crappy "Update your PayPol Urgent!"
Does any one really believe that Edward Snowdens email address is 'Ed_snowden@lavabit.com' ?
No. He would either have capitalized both the E and the S.or neither.
