AT&T uses 850MHz for LTE. Telstra uses 850MHz for WCDMA. The frequency band happens to coincide in this case, but the technology doesn't. The frequency bands in use around the world very much do vary.
Where ties means that your credit card showed up when they ran a check of who bought stuff from a particular ebay merchant in the month of May 2003, and one of the other cards that came up in that same search was a stolen card that might have been used by terrorists to buy unknown stuff without being detected.
That phone you bought in Australia is preferring Australian frequencies when searching for networks. In Australia it can find your network on one of those fairly quickly. In US it has to search through all of those and probably some others before reaching the frequencies where AT&T towers are. Since it is on a non preferred frequency, it may also be checking periodically for a signal on its preferred frequencies. If its a long term trip, it might be worth flashing an AT&T radio if one is available.
If it is receiving regular beacons it only needs to listen on the frequency those beacons are coming on. If it stops receiving beacons it needs to start switching frequencies trying to look for a signal. Phones these days typically support 4 or 5 GSM bands, 3 or 4 3G and half a dozen LTE bands. You can improve battery life considerably by limiting the bands it searches on. If you don't have LTE in your area, turn it off in Settings. Most phones have dropped the regional band settings, so to disable searching in foreign bands, you need to either use a secret dialer code to access a service menu, or flash a different radio ROM.
Interoperability is why we still write to anonymous@slashdot.org!mail.comcast.net!mail.myisp.com!gateway.local instead of just having globally resolvable addresses. Upgrading the infrastructure is just too hard and will never happen.
As always, it was a combination of factors. No one of the factors by itself was the cause of the crash. The absence of any one of the factors would have saved the plane. If the pitot tube was not frozen, then the control systems would not have detected conflicting inputs and reverted to "direct law" (manual override), and the infamous Airbus fly-by-wire autopilot would not have allowed the copilot to stall the plane. If the controls had positive feedback, the pilot would have noticed that the co-pilot was doing the opposite of what he was being instructed to do. If the training for managing such a situation had been better, the co-pilot may have handled the situation calmly and been able to think through what he was doing better.
It would just be another sponsorship opportunity for them. McAfee "sport" wireless security on Microsoft Surface tablets while you converse on your Bose headsets. IT is the new tobacco.
OK, this makes a bit more sense than the MSM version I read half an hour ago. In that article, they made it sound like USB keyboards were spreading a virus by reprogramming the USB controller chips on motherboards, which sounded a bit too far fetched to me (maybe one brand could be vulnerable - but a widespread problem?). In the Ars story it sounds more like they are reprogramming the firmware in the USB device itself to act as a different device. Cute trick, possibly useful against a carefully chosen target, but the likelyhood of a widespread attack seems minimal. And auditing your devices would be quite easy - just keep an eye on what device types are showing up in/sys/bus/usb or device manager.
Spot on. I have a pair of 32" jeans that would fall down if I wasn't wearing a belt, and a pair of 36" trousers that I need to squeeze into. I don't need to go into a changing room to see how these look on me, I'd just as happily take them straight from the shelf to the cashier if I could rely on the sizing.
The only thing that is strange is the confusing terminology that is counter to its standard meaning. "spinning in parallel to its trajectory." and spinning in the opposite direction is somehow not parallel with the trajectory... yep, you lost me there, you boffins must be so much smarter than us mere engineers.
Country A is violating the Geneva convention. Country B would not be violating the Geneva convention, provided they are not firing into a recognized hospital, safety or neutral zone. If such an event were to take place inside such a zone, country A would also be violating the Geneva convention by using the zone for military activity. To be clear, Hamas are blatantly violating the Geneva convention. That does not make it right for Israel to do so as well.
When a group fires from the grounds of a hospital, religious building, or homes, under the geneva convention those buildings automatically become military targets.
There is no such provision in the Geneva convention. If a party finds that the conditions for a hospital, safety or neutral zone are not being complied with, they are required to give five days notice to the party administering the zone of their intention to cease recognizing it as a hospital, safety or neutral zone if its use is not brought into compliance.
I saw the segment the GP was talking about. I don't remember it being the third floor, but the doctor certainly admitted it was on the hospital grounds.
It still doesn't excuse Israel ignoring the targeting said hospital though. At the end of the day, the damage Hamas is doing with those rockets is minimal, and doesn't warrant ignoring the Geneva convention to deliberately target hospitals and schools where they know the civilian casualties will be disproportionate. Yes, Hamas is deliberately using human shields to sway global opinion, but Israel is deliberately giving them exactly what they want.
It depends in the situation where it is used. If your data almost but not quite fits on your available media at 15%, and you're not pressed for time, you might still go for 15%. And if you only have 15 seconds to compress it, strictly no more, you might settle for significantly less compression than would be possible in 20 seconds.
Microsoft's chess strategy seems to be to sacrifice all its pawns and its Queen, laying waste to its Bishops Knights and Rooks and trying to win the game with just its King left. Good luck with that one.
And if the CA was not in the loop, the CIA could create such a certificate themselves, and it would be just as valid as the certificate created by the real owner to the outside observer. So how is adding the CA increasing the vulnerability again?
Please expand. Are you saying that the CA signed certificate can contain two public keys, and that browsers will encrypt the session key such that either key's corresponding private key can be used to decrypt it?
The only requirement in fact is that you be willing to work in an "apprenticeship" (code word for jobs paying significantly less than market rate salaries).
There is some sort of regulation though. Flying Singapore to LA earlier this year, WiFi was available from the gate at Singapore until the seatbelt sign came on approaching Narita, then from when the seatbelt sign went off after leaving Narita until we started to approach the coast of Alaska, and while flying over Canada. Basically the only places it was not available was takeoff and landing in Japan, and flying over US airspace.
Alaska gets 8+ earthquakes fairly frequently. The luck is more that noone lives up there than the earthquake frequency (though a 9+ would no doubt cause some major damage down the coast)
As far as I know, the hardware is no different than a standard platter drive
You don't know very far then, do you? But yes, a secure rewrite of the full device should wipe the flash to the point where some serious lab equipment is needed to recover anything from the device.
I can understand the benefit of higher resolution capture capability to microscopic applications, but displays? Do you look at your display through a microscope?

As opposed to Microsoft's astroturfing against Linux (or OpenDocument, or whatever open technology they're trying to block this week).

It's different because the agencies with security as their middle name don't have a backdoor for this.
For actual security purposes, making sensitive data more difficult to spy on is a feature.

The CA doesn't get key data.
