    They said that in the article: It gets sold to a carrier which is not querying the US version of the Stolen Phone database.

    We need something like DNS but then for IMEI numbers. .imei :-)

    PRESENTATION: BYOD in government, a high level talk
    Handy talk for CIOs and CSOs...

    Start the discussion 0 Comments
    May 23, 2013 --

    The following is a recorded presentation from AusCERT. It's by Al Blake, the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. In it he talks about BYOD, basically, from an Australian government perspective. It's not an overly technical talk, but it is a good overview of what a CIO like him has to consider when allowing staff to use their own devices in a heavily regulated environment.

    "Only 50 were ever produced, this being the second example known to exist."

    If there are 50 produced, then there are 50 known to exist.

    Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer a proper Makefile which only compiles the files required and which separates between the build and install phase.

    the researchers found that users who "like" "Thunderstorms," "The Colbert Report," "Science" or "Curly Fries" are all slightly more likely to have high IQ than those who don't.

    And it rated for people not living in heavily American culturally influenced and non native English speaking countries that they all had a lower IQ.

    Oh wow.
    Somebody who actually understands what unions are about. Too bad that the rest of the people here don't understand the whole of the concept about it.

    Put it between the two routers[*] which are having a problem and actually see what the packets are.

  12. Re:15 billion? on Apple Hits 15b App Store Downloads, But Loses "App Store" Name Skirmish · · Score: 1

    > That equates to an average of 75 downloads per iOS user. That's a lot.

    I just checked mine: I have downloaded a total of 225 apps on my iPhone 3GS, which I bought a year ago.

    Going through the list there are a lot of one-time usage apps on (voting and event related which I checked once or twice and then deleted, games which I played until finished and then removed, documentation/walkthrough for games). Right now I have about 100 apps installed.

    So 75 downloads is easily doable.

    My aunt on the other hand has only 15 apps installed. It still averages out :-)

    In the last two years I have been given a replacement credit-card from the NAB bank twice.

    This issue doesn't need to be that it reaches the pilot's eye(s), when the beam reaches the window and it "scatters" the beam giving it a bright area through which you can't see.
