After it updated itself and wanted me to login I just uninstalled. I did use it a few times to update my drivers but a Chrome Bookmark could do the same job. Uninstalling also removed another exclamation mark from my task tray .
"A two-core machine would dedicate a huge chunk of one core to just decompressing audio," Maybe they should use a better suited codec/compression, there are so many to choose from these days.
I had a problem like this once. To solve it I setup a second access point with throttled bandwidth then captured all of its data, not only was I able to capture his logins/passwords but was able to identify him and his address. Then it was a mater of using firesheep to take control of his Facebook page;) and sending I nicely worded letter to his home address.
I commonly see developers not clean/check barcode data and just expect it to be numbers but it is easy to print out a database attack as a barcode so when someone scans that barcode it is run against the backend system.
Code128 lets you join many smaller barcode together that will be passed to the system as a single string, so when the system is only expecting a few digits you can flood it with kilobytes of SQL injections or shell code.
I'd want it to have a self destruct mechanism. Take my phone and it destroys itself... no one, not even me, not even apple, can get at the data after that point.
So you would install Windows Mobile on it? That would destroy it for sure.
I can't speak for Apple users but as an Android user I only ever need to connect the USB on my phone for charging, everything else I do wirelessly. I also have a user changeable battery so could survive without USB at all. So if by chance the USB connector becomes damaged or in someway disabled at a hardware/low level this approach would be rendered useless and they would have to fall back to the "Tell me or else" approach
This could be a good technology to use with computer games and product marketing. Game developers and marketers could use it to de-activate the part of the brain that make you think "Hey this is crap" and activate the part that makes you think "I love you man"
http://www.geexbox.org/ Its a mini Linux install using Mplayer. I had been using it for years with out issues. You can install it to a USB flash stick or LiveCD to test it out be for install
I use the old first version 1.0 of the hardware and it has done me well over the years and at $99 it has by far saved me enough time to pay for its self.
If you want to DDOS a victims IP you don't need any fancy botnet, just update the DNS to point http://slashdot.org to the victims IP and let the Slashdot effect take them down
As the pricing of HD DVD has drop and everyone tries to clean there hands of it. I see a chance for dirt cheap HD DVD to out sell the over priced Blu-ray and create a market for it again. Ether which way I'm just going to skip the whole HDDVD and Blu-ray thing and go strait to HVD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Discs or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Card $1 30GB cards are a big selling point for me.
Isn't laughing gas a pain killer, the same pain killer they give to women giving birth and used when pulling teeth. Is that so when you get shot you don't feel the bullets or the cop beating the crap out you?.
People really don't know to what they extent they can pin things on the good old GPS. Every time things like running out of coffee or forgetting the milk happen just look to your friend the GPS he will take the fall and still love you in the morning.
don't you mean sell his house? just tell the new owner he is a dealer, with a few k's of cocaine inthe the house and watch them rip his house to shreds looking for it
Send him a formal letter that looks like it came from someone big that tells him that there is a product recall on the product due to a link to cancer/death, then tell him to post it some where and a refund would be sent back to him, Then state if he continues using the device he would be loose all legal rights against the manufacturer.
If you word it right and use a good color laser printer it works every time, You can even send it back to him with the speaker removed:)
just jump the fence and switch off his power at the meter. next time jump the fence and kill the power again padlocking his meter box then if he installes his own padlock just keep tripping his fuses
For what the device is I do think it is a bit over priced. From what I was able to put together a JUNO-USB only costs about $6 USD. So as much as I want one I'll wait for the price to come down a bit or for more players to come to the market.
To best secure your network you'll have to block unwanted RF getting in and out, aka a Faraday cage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage and then all of the users will start bitching that there mobile phones don't work.
From my experance I've found wired network far cheaper in the longrun. The cable costs maybe high to lay but once in maintance and upgrade costs are low. Were with wireless support costs are high and ongoing. We only use wireless as a bandage till the wires are in.
If you want really secure wireless do it at the power switch [sVen]

Also possible to use high speed metal projectiles.

And that is all just with 1D barcodes. QR is 2D

I would be removing it anonymously or getting the ground keeper to clean up the rubbish.

You can Partition your hard drive in two then use TrueCrypt to save data in a fake swapfile on the second partition.

I had the problem of people pressing the red button on my rack's UPS to stop it from beeping every time we loose power.
I had an easier way of disconnecting an idiot,
by sending bot commands to him and having his antivirus disconnect him for me.
