Yep. In a big project nobody wants to take responsibility of the whole thing, as long as their little corner is somewhat decent their conscience is clear.
I've always wondered, why is it that when government builds stuff for citizens, the citizens almost never have a say about what gets done? I bet there's plenty of professionals who could give their time even for free just so something that now makes their lives harder would be corrected.
Why not at least have community process where decisions are based on votes and people who e.g. have a relevant degree to the matter at hand get more points?
Optimally, public services should be solid enough that anyone can look at the source without risking security of the system. They should start putting everything on github from now on and hire a small army of devs to process peer reviews.
That's a pretty specific percentage for "probably".:) It's not the data itself that's often the most interesting thing to spies, it's the context, who, where, when and what else were they up to.
There's not a single exclamation mark in that response. The guy swears, not news. Perhaps next time submit a post about the subject matter being discussed and not how it's discussed?
Obviously it's not made to be hit, it's made to handle thousands of degrees of heat while travelling at Mach 25 while keeping the puny mammals inside relatively safe. Let's see anything that can take hits from bridge pylons and storms do that.
Keep in mind that even your comment is already 368 bytes in size. While pushing random pixels on the screen might be possible (depending on the hardware) with pretty much the same amount of code as hello world would take, fitting anything more complex than that in 64B has never been possible.
Yeah, he took it in reference to the physicist. What I meant by auto-tune was that general public don't care about physicists (which might be one reason why names get misspelled), so better make bad music if you care about fame.
Might have guessed, all of them seem to feature ridiculous music, unnecessary commentary and/or run of the mill conspiracy theories/end of the world prophecies. Would've hoped http://www.youtube.com/user/nasatelevision had something but so far the most informative I came across was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DE6sPnm4Pk (at least you can mute it)
At least he sells the WPA Cracker service, but from the stories section of the site, regarding the years of hitchhiking, train hopping, squatting and sailing on a shoestring budget, it could be guessed that he might not be overly concerned of a regular paycheck.
Count me in for avahi, our office network uses.local, if avahi is running nothing in LAN works. While I realize mDNS isn't his fault there should definitely be a user friendly option to disable it (on install time or like that "Proprietary drivers available" popup on Ubuntu). Still, have to wonder how much wasted time has this guy's creations imposed on the world.
That's what happens when these ignorant illiterate dummies learn to associate a name to a thing, doesn't matter what he actually did, PS3+hack=? "George did it! Tar and feathers!"
And that was his downfall, to promote a name and provide a target (at least a better one than a faceless corporation).
Had he cured cancer it'd still all come down to "I heard he did something, then Sony did something and something bad happened to my PS3, what an asshole".
Or actually, if you quote the command line (by single quotes naturally) before echo'ing, which I guess you do, then I suppose it's ok.. that just caught my eye as it's not something I usually do.:)
Really, echo? That means the command can't include any shell expandable parts, no pipes, subshells etc (5 insightful??)
Why not just ^xe (or the relevant counterpart in non-bash shells) and save the commandline from the editor?
I hope the book also includes some basic readline instructions and reasons for the need of proper quoting, it's been too many times that I've seen people with supposedly years of linux experience use cursor keys and backspace to work with long commands, "oops there's a typo in this 500 char URL wait a minute while I get to it.." and "what do you mean it's wrong, find * -name bla*bla seems to work most of the time", that really grinds my gears.
No it's not ok to invade privacy but it happens, so what was the big deal with this "information gathering" to begin with?
I'm always assuming there's at least one neighbour or car on the street listening to my wifi, that's why it's encrypted, not bridged to lan etc.
Anyway here's some of those reductions..
1) While simply driving by most of what you get is beacon frames
2) They mostly drove around during week days when most people are at school or at work (where which I at least hope they have encrypted wifi)
3) They're google, they already have all the data they could ever want and a lot more personal stuff than what you get in half a minute from the street
They say they were collecting SSIDs for mapping purposes (which has been done by many projects for years as already mentioned), didn't mean to get other data and are not using it for anything. Not that I'd trust them more than any other multinational corporation, but can't see why they'd be lying about that.
It's a lot easier to place inexpensive kismet_drones in busy areas or with big antennas on hill tops overlooking residential areas than it is to drive around catching glimpses of some lone unemployed bozo surfing porn.
Also, wouldn't mind seeing more wifi hacking being punished by law, but in the actual cases where there's crimes being committed (theft, damage, defacing) and not just for the public spectacle.

Similar toys but military personnel usually get real consequences instead of paid vacation when they fsck up.
Given the context I doubt it, since tar itself doesn't do compression.
The Amazon drones aren't even remote controlled, but autonomous http://youtu.be/6in-MZeeeGk?t=12m26s
(And even though there's probably some backup control channel and remote telemetrics it's very likely not wifi.)

Something I might've asked him was posed by Louis C.K
With $85B (or whatever it is nowadays), "how do you not do that?"

I rarely point out typos but when I do I make one too.
He would be, for such bad spelling.
Goes to show one thing; if you want to be remembered, forget about nobel prices and learn Auto-Tune.
