Mine fell between the sections of my couch, about a foot, and it totally destroyed the screen. Waiting on a insurance replacement so that I can possibly change my lease with Sprint.
Nobody sells a proper case (the only things I can find were holsters), and all the screen protectors have miserable reviews because they lift at the edges.
The super smooth back needs a little bit of grip to prevent it sliding, and I'll probably laser cut a Talon grip sheet into something useful if Sprint won't let me change.
iOS and Android devices support EAP-TLS, then wire any devices that you can such as the game systems (less certs to manage anyway), and do exactly what you describe for anything that can only do WEP if it's required. The extra AP should probably be in a different VLAN so that it only has access to what it needs, and doesn't allow a hole to something else in the network. Although, this is similar to puting a simple padlock on the bank vault door because the manager can't remember the combination.
If security is convienent for you, then it's easy for the hackers. In order to make it difficult for the hackers, the lowest security level has to be raised, and it will become inconvienent for you. That's the trade-off.
This neighbor sounds like he has it out for this guy, and escalated it into a turf war. It's probably only going to end by this guy giving up and wiring everything, or creating a fortress. Since he's asking on slashdot, he's probably looking to do the latter.
I agree with all of these, especially the enterprise auth. I'd use 802.1x with EAP-TLS and implement certificates that you can revoke if they're cracked. A lot of work to set up a PKI, but might be worth it.
With as much of a jerk this guy is, you should make sure to implement additional security such as IPSec or a DMZ that is only accessable via a VPN on any file storage systems that you have to prevent them from accessing or destroying personal data. More work, but probably more worth it if you have important data.
None of this will stop the deauth packets, but implementing 802.11w (2009) should help with that. Linux should be able to support it, Windows will require Win 8, and I don't know how many mobile devices implement it.
My understanding is that it requires changing (possibly creating or accepting?) a calendar event from the iOS device. Normal email flow is unaffected. I haven't tried yet as I don't think there's a way to undo it, and I don't want to have to disassociate my iPhone at this point.
Looking at my logs, I have a couple of users that are creating log events in the IIS logs every second or so. At this point it's a minor impact on our overall logging, and hasn't inflated to the point that I want to block my users. I've had a drive fill up in the past and created a scheduled tasks to remove logs older than 15 days.
I've sent my users emails to see if they are experiencing any battery or syncing issues with their devices so far, but haven't heard back from them yet.
There was *no way* that a Michelin tire was going to be the cause of somebody going off the track this year. After all the bad press from last year, they were there handing out passes to a "make-up party" and presenting checks to the boys and girls club.
Speed said that they brought "conservative" and "competative" tires, but urged everyone to use the conservative ones.
Too bad only 3 more cars finsihed this year than last =/
School districts choose their textbooks based on how the content matches the curriculum. Who is going to provide all the content that they teach the students? Is it a pre-defined (censored) list of websites, or some in-house Intranet solution that needs to be populated? Maybe some third-party provider that helps bankroll the laptops, with their own agenda (i.e. Darwinism vs. Creationism)?
Traditional textbook providers aren't very keen on providing their content online. This would require a major paradigm shift by all the providers to a full online in order to allow districts the choices that they currently have.
Along with all the other administrative headaches involved (Anti-virus, security, passwords, hardware, general helpdesk issues), this is going to add to the $850 per laptop.
No way. Adults may accidentally mess up a machine, but HS students are malicious.
I work in a school district, and have seen everything from keycaps on the keyboard rearanged (Instead of QWERTY -> F*CK YOU),mouseballs taken (superglue -- sux to clean...), to processors stolen..
One model of slimline we had a laptop style CD ROM. You know the little warning (read: invitation) saying "do not touch lens..." Only about 10% of those drives are still alive after 4 years.
For software issues - re-image... Fastest way to get it up and running, since no one will admit what they did (even if it was accidental)
All laser pointers that I've seen are visible. An Infra-Red one would be pretty pointless;-)
Your eye is just more sensative to green at a given wattage, and is able to detect any light reflected off dust/moisture particles in the air.

Negative feedback is used in transistor amplifiers to eliminate even harmonics (2X 4X 6X) that your ear hears as distortion. The downside is that it also eliminates odd harmonics (1X 3X 5X) that pianos and acoustic guitars produce naturally. Tube amplifiers don't generate the even harmonics, so they have no need for the negative feedback.
The early 70's Marketing pushed the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) measurment as a indication of superior design of the trasistor amplifiers. A good tube amp may have as much as 5% THD compared to a 0.001% transistor amp, but any true audiophile would rather the tube.
Of course, if all you listen to is rock, the distortion is already in the recording, and you probably won't be able to tell the difference other than the transistor will be able to produce more Watts/$. I had to have this pointed out to me while working at a Hi-Fi shop (all I listened to was rock at the time)
Those machines (and the C-64 also) were primarily game playing machines that had specialized buffers and hardware sprites for building scrolling games. Doing such on the PC was quite a hack for the time.
How do you "stumble" across the flight simator in Excel? I've never had the need to do those things on a spreadsheet. The programmers had to tell someone in order to find it.
1. Use a filter - next week you'll have a elipse shaped dull spot on your kid's birthday party. 2. Don't expect to see too much. The sun is very far away, and will appear smaller than you think on the screen.
You'd be better off filming the result from a pinhole camera or a pair binoculars focused onto paper.

That isn't a problem with the BitCoin protocol, but Instawallet's website.

Apparently if you update a calendar item on your iOS device, it tries to update Exchange and fails.
It then retries continuously, chewing through battery life and log files: http://wmpoweruser.com/exchange-server-acting-up-blame-those-ios-6-1-users-then-ban-them/.
Just get cheaper GPS units and make a note of when it stops sending data.
Somehow, I think Wolowitz is responsible....
IPv5 was originally designed as a streaming protocol, but they abandoned it now that everything is encapsulated in HTTP.
With Google pushing this so hard, why didn't they change the logo? They should have had one for the IPv6 crowd different from the IPv4....
You should also be able to do some naked eye observations such as:
Observe the track of the Moon across the sky over a month.
Watch the rotation of the starts over a night (or several hours)
Watch an upcomming meteor shower. The next one is the Lyrids on April 21: http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/
