And somebody like me would completely own you for it:
1. I have the technical know how to set my SSID to hidden: red flag #1 2. What else do I have running if my SSID is hidden?
In my case, I log all my traffic, and honestly it might take me a second to notice, all it would take is a few hiccups of my bandwidth for me to take a quick look at the settings and at that point, I'd log your traffic for a while, see what I can gather, and go find a zero-day, break through, escalate privilege, send your pr0n to your mom via the facebook login I logged, and delete your registry before I'm done.
So in short, you never quite know what you're logging into when you go rogue on wifi:)
As per OP set up MAC address filtering, if this guy is trying to set up evil twins & trying to do handshake captures on your network, MAC addresses are spoofable.
I also like to hide the SSID just to make things harder, but if he's passive listening, that may not help either... though at this point, a hidden SSID with WPA2 encryption does not make for an attractive target, esp. when the MAC needs to be spoofed (I wouldn't know this till i broke through the 1st 2).
However, the single most effective thing you can do is limit your antenna's radius... if your router's stock firmware can't do it, dd-wrt and friends can. Stand outside your house till you can't connect to your wifi at your fence anymore, adjusting the radius in increments.
Last, but not least, go buy a steel fish line and drywall saw at home depot and wire up your house w ethernet ports and disable your wifi. Tough luck on the phones though, unless you can find an adapter for them.
So, what other sector have salaries gone up in exactly if I may ask? In case you've been under a rock these past 5 or so years, the US ECONOMY has stagnated, and IT happens to be a part of that economy.
And as somebody mentioned, there's two types of programmers, the 10% who know what they're doing and the 90% who somehow try to get by. The 10% tend to group together leaving the other 90% to fill the market. Between an American who doesn't know parametrized queries, and a Hindu guy who does, but lives in India, guess who management's going to choose.
If you can't find a job in America's IT, read some books, learn some skills, and if these people think they're too good for that, fuck off please and leave it to the professionals (wherever they may be from), I'm sick of maintaining code that was put together by morons. My experience has been neither the Hindu, or the American know how to write the query properly, so I get to do it myself, why? because the 10% crowd isn't always the best at making money.
That would actually make a lot of sense except for the international ownership issues. It would only work if we all got along and shared our resources......... onto the space asteroids!
Well... yea the world wide web definition is a bit grey if you think of it that way, but you can still access it from the WWW via http, so thereby it is a part of the WWW, it's just not a very known part it seems.
That's the thing with slashdot articles, they refer to it as a JAVA exploit... so in the world of security there is no 1 magic key master king exploit that does everything in one step. Things happen in series: Java gets exploited, access to the system is gained: and then something else is run to escalate privilege or gain access to an account, or simply report information. So via the Java exploit, "payloads" get delivered, which can do things like write to the hosts file. Consider how a lot of scareware gets on people's systems and one of the first things to get modified is usually the hosts config file.
At this point in the game, it's throwing fuel in the fire, the only unique thing is it's coming from the other side of the fire for once. The copyright system is broken, and I'm sure at least part of tpb's meaningfulness is proving that.
The answer is right there, it' just a bunch of scientist fighting with muddled words about who did what when. It's both, how can it not be? You are the sum of your creation and experiences, nothing more, nothing less. Sure people are born a certain way, with certain perks and downsides, at a certain time, and to certain people, but what that person does past that is their choice and their responsibility. There's going to be a million choices and factors to take into account, but ultimately it's that individual making the choices. You can argue something like being born into slavery, but that's us creating our own pot of shit, that person had choices and now they're limited due to one of those million factors, and still at some point some time somebody chose to rise above it, that's nurture, the enslaved got fed up with slavery and did something about it.
Glad it's not just me that's noticed that, some games seem hyped up at launch, and then when they hit, everybody jumps on the bandwagon and pays their subscription fees in advance hoping to get some of the user content that is typically dangled on a line with the collectors or pre-order editions with some other perks or something of similar nature. And that's it... limited bug fixes, no tech support, constant server lag, and a dead fan base till the next big one. At least with WOW, you know what you're getting, shame its childish (compared to a lot of other MMO (the crowd doesn't help)) and repetitive as hell.
You folks realize that the JVM or any anything of that nature is going to require execute right?
Why's this significant you ask? Cause once the JVM's been exploited an attacker can run just about anything the JVM can, probably through the jvm itself.
If it's in the news, you can probably assume that the treat's been neutralized, however, the advice is to check your source if you've visited a mobile dev. site in the past couple of months, which on your profession would be everybody. However, interestingly enough I can't seem to find any mention of specific mobile dev sites. Do check your hosts file though for rouge entries.
That's the root of the problem, it's a company, not a community that's behind Ubuntu now, and companies need money to survive. I wouldn't be suprised if there was an Ubuntu Pro & Ubuntu Enterprise released soon that have licensing fees associated with them as "custom solutions for businesses". *shrug* if they bring at least some currently windows-only application vendors to Linux, the other distros will benefit also.
I'm not sure about the whole "drawing nutrients" piece, but applying anti-biotics to an open wound to make it heal faster makes perfect sense. Honey happens to contain these. And I agree, we aren't at a point with science where we can explain everything, or why some house hold hand me down remedies work better than modern medicine for certain ailments.
Once WOW hit, expecting anything else decent from Blizzard went out the window. They have THE MMO (hate it or love it, the numbers speak), they're set for a long time. SC2 wasn't bad... they delayed it so much it made it kinda ridiculous, a lot of vets came pack, played a while and left, it just didn't have the re playability or attention of detail of the first one. D3... showed me that I don't need the SC2 expansion, I can name a dozen games that are identical to it, some of which are more fun. Oh well, I suppose I could do productive things or something.
In addition, no subscription fee sounds like in-game features market. And they do all say that, it's the implementation that matters... also being bug-free helps, bugs have doomed more than one mmo. If they make the game fun, there will be a following, even if it's the same shit as yesterday, we need our graphics updated and some new characters/items to work with every once in a while right?
I agree for the most part. $10 tax on that modem is that much closer to best buy's price meaning best buy can put the modem on sale and stay further way from the break even point, or even the red. It's 130 at best buy because you're right, it's a last ditch thing, but hey who wants to go 3-5 days w/o internet. What your talking about with Wal-mart I only use either when there's a huge sale online... The Batman trilogy is such a recent example... or when the item is unavailable in the store, though that's more often the case w Lowe's and HD.
Maybe... but mostly no, that's not what alcholism is. Alcoholism is a natural draw to alcohol, like a heightened instinct almost. If it was as easy as a test of willpower, why do people relapse after a few drinks into deep states of alcoholism. Don't get me wrong though, groups like AA take the whole willpower approach through accountability. That and not all alcoholics are created equal, the draw is a lot stronger in some, those would probably continue to drink despite the negative effects, but FDA testing pending, this is better than what the DOJ uses right now, which is pills.
Would you expect your grocery store to suddenly stop charging you tax? Because that's what's happening with Amazon's groceries. Shipping doesn't make up for it, that goes to fedex and ups. It's been a loophole for a while now, and a lot of people have taken advantage, while brick and mortar stores have suffered. The latter may not be the worst thing, customer service at Best Buy is a lot better now, but I can buy a surfband modem on amazon for $80, and at bestbuy for $120, after tax in my area that comes out to $130, that's quite the difference. It sucks that we'll eventually have to start paying tax for online items, but we'd be returning to the standard and the way the economy is supposed to work, and improve things in the long term.
I'm intrigued now, every single job I've ever worked at I've had access to more sensitive data than I know what to do with, but I've signed employment agreements and sometimes even NDAs/confidentiality agreements all but guaranteeing legal action against me if I choose to use that data in a way that is not within their business scope pretty much.
I think this is why... with new software systems comes new hardware to power those systems. When COBOL was being used for new development, I don't think the P1 was even out, we're on Xeons now. I'm not saying it's a good direction by any means, but it seems to be the preferred way of doing things, possibly so people can keep their sanity when trying to mimic COBOL. But in all fairness, newer frameworks are designed for newer hardware.
$195B sounds like a bloated made up number, if I ever heard one. In fact, it sounds more like the cost of mining the minerals and getting them to earth, not what the asteroid's worth.

Yes, this is a battle worth winning.

How can you tell which sites are illegal?
What about sites that are illegal in some countries and not others based on differing laws?
Have you thought this through?
