CTS definitely enjoyed stirring up a good raging argument, and admitted as much on at least one occasion, but I think his rants were effective at generating page-widening tl;dr threads because he more or less believed what he was saying... purists might argue it's not really a "troll" at that point.
Crawford is in and out of mental institutions, engaged in grandiose battles against law enforcement and former employers etc on a routine basis. It's kind of a tragic soap opera, which personally I largely ignore because it's kind of depressing. There are times when it makes up most of k5's content.
Ah, but the diary ghetto is where the action is. If you go there you'll see that we also have the neverending crazy adventures of MICHAEL DAVID CRAWFORD, low-effort trolling, occasional linkdumps and... well, actually I guess that's it.
I mean, take a look at Apple's "If it's black and rectangular, it's ours" patent.
The ipad injunction involved a European "Community Design", an appallingly stupid concept which is actually considerably worse than patents. There's no obviousness or prior art test AT ALL, they're simply granted automatically upon payment of the filing fee. It's absolutely guaranteed to be abused like this, in fact as the link shows Apple have a program that spam-registers designs which they have no intention of even using, just to make life difficult for their competitors. It's hard to escape the conclusion that it's simply a cynical device to collect those filing fees, with the negative effects on business and consumers being somebody else's problem.
Oh, and the extremely generic community design they used for the ipad thing was filed in 2004, 6 years before the first ipad announcement.
Maybe you could start by spoof replaying old P-code captures? Thus making the drone think it must have wrong, expired keys when it can't decrypt it, and falling back to C-code. I know nothing about GPS though so I have no idea how feasible that is.
It's almost certain that this drone DOES have an inertial navigation system - the problem is, how do you know when to use it?
When your control channel is being jammed. As others have pointed out though, it really should be using military encrypted GPS - in fact this seems to be a requirement since September 2006 - in which case it seems that they shouldn't have been able to spoof it...
The Sisyphean task of fighting anonymous botnet herders and spammers must quickly become frustrating. You have to follow the law and proper procedures, they do whatever the hell they want and typically operate sophisticated distributed systems with no central C+C that can be impossible to take down. I don't agree with him, but it's easy to see why he's come to think this way.
Import duties. Yes they're "unfair", but truly free trade is only a good idea so long as your sole goal is maximising profits for the elite. Globalisation and liberalised immigration have overall been harmful to indigenous western workers, exactly as was predicted, leaving us with an unbalanced economy that mostly manufactures intangible Intellectual Property and fraudulent financial instruments, rather than physical goods.
Nope. NoScript protects against the relatively common attack vector of malicious 3rd-party scripts being injected into a site you already trust, via exploits or ad networks. In this scenario the site will try to load malware from http://lolhax.biz/ or whatever, which it doesn't normally do and you haven't permitted, so it fails. It saved me once when a PHP forum I visited often got hacked.
Mod parent up, submitter / "editors" didn't check their facts as per usual.
I'm glad this is the case since I still haven't had a response from our company's webhost as to whether the session cookies our site sets are needed for the stats package, or just an unneccessary ASP default setting.
I seriously hope you don't get your warez from tpb, the rate of malware infection is rather high - rising to a certainty for standalone crack torrents. You should at the very least be on a semi-private tracker like demonoid or you fail at piracy forever. (Yes, I know this is a 3DS rom, but still.)
Remember when they claimed Steam was coming to Linux absolutely, positively, for sure, 100% confirmed with an official announcement coming out imminently? Then it... umm, didn't.
It's a worthwhile site, but they're unreformed Linux fanboys and inevitably that does bias their reporting sometimes. They don't rig tests, but they do find a way to interpret the results in a pro-Linux way if possible.
It's good as a mobile computing device, especially jailbroken to avoid apple's walled garden bullshit, but the "phone" part seems to have been an afterthought.
Well, sort of. 95% of the break was done by fail0verflow, who I think it's safe to say don't hold Hotz or his motives in particularly high regard. They quite deliberately stopped at the point where they could run homebrew unrestricted, since going further had no use other than piracy. Predictably, Hotz did that extra part and released it as a pirate-friendly "jailbreak.zip".
Whilst the DMCA is total bullshit, it's hard to feel too much sympathy for him. He did something that had no purpose other than enabling piracy / cheating, he surely knew that was a DMCA violation, and he attached his name to it loud and proud. His defence will probably try to argue that the jailbreaking exemption applied to cellphones should be extended to consoles, but it seems far more likely he did this for purely egotistical reasons than as high-minded civil disobedience.
IIRC it did that as well. Specifically it didn't just speed up the centrifuges (which would probably be noticed) but did so in brief oscillating bursts, with the intent of mixing up the partly separated isotopes again.

More accurately, the iphone makes calls much worse than the average 'dumbphone'.. Also: randomly calls people by itself sometimes.
