Six months is probably from the oldest infected file date. Given that it was at every location, there is a good chance they didn't do anything with the information obtained until it has spread across the network. And even then, they may have let it sit and gather data for a while before they sold anything on the assumption that once they started to act it wouldn't take long to be shut down.
I actually read the article, so I expect to be modded down for this, but it clearly states:
Although electric jamming devices are illegal a Faraday cage is not.
"Unlike jammers, Faraday cages don’t proactively cause interference, although they do interfere with mobile reception,’ An Ofcom spokesman said.
So he's legal by UK standards and I'd have to think the US as well.
2. When Clinton was using the private email server, there was no law or policy that required her to use the government email server.
There were legal requirements. Per the National Archives and Records Administration's Code of Federal Regulations Hillary would have had to cc her official government email every time in order to maintain an official archive. Clearly she did not. This would fall under the section requiring all federal agencies to preserve records and assure the were readily available.

The acceptance of openly gay members is left to each council to decide themselves, many of which have not. One of the major problems is the fact that the Boy Scouts is a religious organization and a large number of troops meet in churches. If they allow gay members they would need to find a new meeting place.
Oddly enough, some Scout councils also allow girls to join...
Yes, I read the article, sorry. This was a shell company, that already made money. These companies are designed to live for a short period, make a lot of money, then go down in flames. The 'troll' is actually Austin Hansley, the lawyer representing eDekka. Amazingly, he also represents the #2 and #3 patent troll companies of 2014...
I can see several instances where people can benefit from this. Most people have no first hand experience with programming. Watching a bit of something like this might open their eyes into what it takes. Perhaps it's a kid that thinks she wants to grow up to be a programmer, or a mother wondering what in the world her son does at work all day long, or a novice in the language wanting to see what methods are being used.
I'm not saying it's going to have a huge audience, but it's hardly worthless.
I can see how an exercise like this can benefit those against smart guns. Put that exact technology in a device we use everyday, such as our mouse, and track how often it fails or becomes temperamental. So, you had to readjust your grip after every 50 uses, and it flat out stopped working after 1000? Would you want that to be in the hands of an officer trying to save your life?
The source is TMZ so take it for what it's worth, but:
"...possible evidence of a fluid burst and subsequent fluid trail before the skid marks at the accident scene."
The sources also made evident the absence of skids leading up to where the crash took place, with marks only noticeable before the point of impact. They claim if Roger had lost control of the vehicle there would be visible signs on the road from swerving rather than in a straight line, suggesting he didn't have control of the steering. "
Which would make all this talk of their skill and the dangers of that model moot in this situation. Perhaps we should wait for the final investigation report.
You know damn well that the summary is just a close guess to what the story is about based on the first paragraph, if that. If they read the whole thing someone else might/. it before them!

Ok, I get a little pissed off every time I hear this crap. Let me explain to you how enlisting in the military works: You enlist for 8 years. not 3, not 5, EIGHT. Generally, it's 4 active and 4 inactive. The inactive years, IE:reserves, are put there on the end of the active to allow the government to call you back or retain you if they need it. It's not a mystery. It's right there on the contract you sign. Stop Loss activates those inactive years because the military has deemed you currently irreplaceable.
I figure that because it happened in the first place, which is completely inexcusable. What were they thinking?
The latest release from ESEA covers this. It was initially beta tested with client approval, then they decided against moving forward.
With the whole fervor around Bitcoin, we did conduct some internal tests with the Client on only two of our own, consenting administratorsâ(TM) accounts to see how the mining process worked and determine whether it was a feature that we might want to add in the future. We thought this might be an exciting new tool that we could provide to our community. Ultimately, we decided that it was not.
On April 13, 2013, after the initial tests, ESEA informed those involved in the test that we were killing the project and they should stop using the beta test. It came to our attention last night, however, that an employee who was involved in the test has been using the test code for his own personal gain since April 13, 2013...
Does this mean that the studios should be liable for all of the damage caused by tv shows and movies intended for children under 3? I mean sure, the parents could have prevented it, but they wouldn't have to if they weren't produced in the first place! And this line of logic is why the MPAA will never allow this to become a law, so it's pointless to debate how this would ever be regulated, or why anyone would think that the government should instruct us on how to raise our kids.
Speaking of fiber, what about AT&T? The company did not make the top 15. In fact, the fiber-based AT&T U-verse service got an index of 7.9, putting it at number 22.
I'm really not surprised by this. One of the worst features of U-verse is that the tv and internet share the same bandwidth. After a little at home testing I found that my '18mbs' connection dropped by almost 6mbs per HD channel we were watching or recording. So while you pay for both, you can really only use one at a time. I promptly dropped their cable. The most frustrating fact is that we can't get Fios in my neighborhood. When we called to set it up while moving in the gentleman kindly informed me that if AT&T services my area Fios will not. Still trying to figure out how that is legal...
Yes, they are getting brain damage. No, this isn't really a surprise to anyone. But I have to ask, isn't this why they get paid the big bucks? No one is forcing them to play this game. A quick breakdown finds that your average NFL player makes 1848% what Average Joe does. And no, that's not a typo.
In that 3.5 years the average NFL player, at MEDIAN salary, will earn $2.7 million or roughly the amount that Average Joe will pull in after 65 years. (160 years if the NFL player gets the average salary.) IMHO they are selling their health later in life for the riches now.
Smart meters do not use the old electro-mechanical method to measure power consumption. They are solid state and have no moving parts or coils that can be tampered with by a magnetic field.
Ok, so I actually RTFA and according to it:
The bureau also said another method of attacking the meters involves placing a strong magnet on the devices, which causes it to stop measuring usage, while still providing electricity to the customer.
That certainly sounds like tampering with a magnetics field. I'd hazard to say that there a multiple types of smart meters,
What I want to know is, how much are they going to make on an $18m investment?
With the weekend numbers they are estimating that it's made over $25m already, you're probably right about it making a killing. And don't forget that after it gets out of the theater it will make a move for the home 3D market.
I mean, aren't there laws against doing things like hacking into computers you don't own? Isn't this aiding in a crime? The last time I checked, even government agencies were obliged not to break laws.
You've got it all wrong. I'm sure they hack into their own computers, nothing illegal there. Then they sell the knowledge of these exploits to their customers in order to protect them from these weaknesses. Now, if someone in one of those agencies "goes against policy" and uses these exploits against someone else, how is it their fault?

Personally, I think the problem is that too much content is being created.
If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. Surprise, surprise.
Perhaps you shouldn't be on Facebook in class and meetings? Also helps that I don't use Facebook.
