Also, at least one local TV news station here in Maine aired this report last night. I posted a comment much like yours in reply to a friend who pointed this out on Facebook. I'm certain there will be no shortage of folks who don't bother to make that one-step-removed connection.
You don't see the front door open in the video. The front shot of the house where you see movement through the door frame is actually showing the right side of the building snapping off the foundation.
You know, despite doing photography sometimes selling stuff to newspapers or through stock sites... I just didn't expect that.
Dear/., please spend more time editing, less time playing with your new stock photography subscription. At least I learned something new with the allergy transfer.
I officially give up on the cracker vs. hacker distinction. Hacker is a word with two meanings related respectively to exploration and compromise of computer systems. Crackers are things that go in your soup.
While I haven't been able to Google it, I recall one instance where a homeowner shot two police officers who were in his garage. The court ruled in favor of the homeowner.
It seems that the idea was apparent long before the patent came about. I think the underlying reason that we haven't seen it yet is that the tradeoff value wasn't present yet. The GPU must beat out the CPU by a sufficiently wide price and performance margin for the workload before anybody bothers with specialized code for it.
In fact, this is a math coprocessor revisited. Remember those?
Well, if you happen to be blundering your way in so roughly that the embassy folk are sitting there thinking, "There's no way in hell his own country didn't see him walk in here with a 4' x 6' red flag over his head," then I suppose you're out of luck. It'd be a poor bet to believe that plain-text email sent to a consulate isn't monitored in some way.
Google will certainly grab the MAC address of any broadcasting base station whether or not encryption is in use -- the SSID and MAC are not encrypted. I think the only question is whether they will grab the SSID of of a non-broadcasting station that is in use.
Digital Federal Credit Union, besides tons of other stellar reasons, handles remote banking wonderfully. For example, shared branching allows pretty much any branch service to be performed at any participating credit union: http://www.cuservicecenter.com/ Besides that, up to $10 worth of ATM fees are reimbursed to my account each month.
Their customer service is wonderful to the point that I stay with them even though there are no branches of their credit union in my state. I deposit checks by taking pictures of them with my iPhone. I can use the local branch of another credit union if I need to do something in-person. I really have no complaints about DFCU.
Of course, this means that any of those 4,127 branches reciprocates with their own, so you can join your local credit union and get at least that benefit, if not others.
One presenter at DEFCON joked... he said something similar to, "Bing it! Go to bing.com, type in "Google", click search... click on the first link... now type in what you want..."
Not making that assumption at all. In my post, I pointed out that I could identify students from a local college based on the card's code (they all have the same prefix).
Feeling like taking an overly keen interest in whether your employees are at a particular protest? Same technique...
Tracking one person around a city with RFID would be a nuisance. You'd need multiple points, signal quality would vary wildly, it'd be painful in a way.
Opposingly, you can get a lot of aggregate data in a semi-closed system. I remember once at a public event I was covering (wearing my journalism hat for a moment) that I thought, "I wish I had an RFID system handy. I could identify all the University students in a moment -- I bet you not a one doesn't have their RFID card on them."
Tracking could be efficiently done in a system such as a mall or subway with exit monitoring.
You should rotate them as follows: swap front and back. When that wears, unmount the tires from the rims, then do your X rotation by remounting. Then swap front and back again.

The article is from the AP. It did make the news.

Where do you find these pictures? Did somebody get paid to go buy a container of peanuts and make that? Idle indeed...

The local fire department would like to subscribe to your blog and such.

That's why we keep Bruce Willis on retainer.
You're so going to get a patent on that!

Yeah, we've all seen that happen before.

Have you even begun to consider the latency issues inherent in that?
I thought references to 128 bit addressing and boiling oceans were reserved for storage systems, not networking! http://blogs.sun.com/bonwick/entry/128_bit_storage_are_you
VPN and IPv6 to IPv4 mapping.

The apparent intent is that if you go to a shooting range, you can hand the kid your handgun, then take it back after he's done firing.

There's an ESRI office down the hall from me...
I really wonder why they have a satellite office here and what they do there. It's not listed on the website anywhere.
Well, the question was, "How scary is this?" Now if you asked me, "How secure is RFID?" I'd simply answer, "It isn't."

Read your follow-up after I posted this. Yay burned out rubber!
