Historic low? What happened to the history where MSIE has a 0% share (no browser) or 3%, 12%, 16%, 22%, 32%.
There was a time when there was no MSIE, so to say there's a historic low is complete inaccurate. Unless of course the person choosing the headline wasn't around during those days.
I was working a wireless project at a venue and the talent wanted wireless in the dressing room. Dressing rooms weren't in the spec. We added it temporarily as we were still doing installs.
I ended up on stage during the sound check helping the keyboard tech get access to the net over our wireless network so he could do his email and stuff. I also ended up at the apron of the stage for the duration of the show and had an all access pass for the evening.
Thing is, I still don't know whether he spells it MeatLoaf or Meat Loaf.
Still, it was an awesome show and I had a great time.
Off the top of my head, I'd suggest that near that data center would be near a place called Hayeks, perhaps the town hall down the block, and just off your town's Main Street, which, by chance, isn't called Main Street.;) However, if you miss your turn coming down the post office, you'll run into the data center.
Encrypt it with your existing GPG/PGP keys, then move it to the drive. Most of the encrypted drives these days aren't that great. You'd also not have to worry about any proprietary software with you for the decryption.
Keeping your private GPG key would be useful - perhaps another drive? Perhaps on paper?
I like the idea of the USB drive for paperwork though, good addition to the EOTWAWKI (end of the world as we know it) scenario.
I bet if someone took this to court...my arguement would win. Not because your arguement is off, but because common sense is not a defense. Its the default config of the router.
That's because no lawyer with a clue on how this actually works has argued the point. And precedent is being (has been?) set by the ignorant.
Not unusual....
I agree, your argument is more likely to win, because any judge, lawyer or jury will simply roll their eyes into the back of the heads when the geek gets up to explain the process, because $USERs don't want to know how it works, just that it works.
Because that WISP is a commercial entity, what you say is true.
As Joe Hobbyist, I can make pretty much whatever damned antennas I want, so long as I follow some half decent engineering principals and don't deliberately exceed limits for that band. Section 15.23 re: Homebuilt devices.
And I know many WISPs that are operating completely illegally. Not only have they assembled radios with antennas not certified, but they don't even have the calculations to show that they did any work to say "Sure, it's not certified, but we calculated this out and it's under the limit." Not that the FCC would care if they got a complaint. "Uncertified gear? We'll just take that..... " "We'll let you know when we're done with our testing. You can petition the court to have this evidence returned. It'll take a couple years... "
Yes, you are correct that in most cases, your computer would be set for DHCP when you open up and look for a new wireless network. It sees a SSID, associates and asks "Can I get in (get an IP?) "
The AP that's BROADCASTING it's beacon (not that it HAS to!) says "Sure, have an IP... "
You get your IP, you're permitted in (as opposed to refused) and then you go about your merry way.
There are multiple instances along the way where you could have been refused entry.
As if people can't tell, I support your position of being given permission by being given an IP. There was a conversation there.... and nobody said no.
To move the door analogy into the mix, it would be like having a doorman standing by the open door. You ask the doorman "Can I have a room?" He says "Sure, take room 42, it's open." and you walk in and go up to the fourth floor. The doorman could have stopped you. He could have told someone you were there. He could have carded you. He could have asked what your business was. But no, he told you "Use room 42, it's not taken" and let you in. Sure, you perambulated in on your own, but he certainly made no move to stop you.
There was also a university that said "You can't" and the ruling said that the FCC didn't have the right to restrict the college from doing so because the housing units in question were owned by the college/uni itself.
This follows on the heels of the Maine's legislature voting to move to the Atlantic time zone. Of course, Maine was planning to just move to Atlantic zone but not use daylight time anymore. The suggestion to increase daylight time for the rest of the US make the impact of Maine decision another two months smaller. Kind of makes it pointless, IMHO.
There was no fscking article. There was only a slashdotted website, dying in burning ruin. So, there's really nothing to be read other than "Look, they're doing stuff that was done years ago... " They're teenagers? Um, so? What'd be amazing is if teenagers these days weren't using computer control for everything, now THAT would be more amazing. "3 Luddite teenagers did nothing in their basement with a computer... "
No, I'm still unimpressed.
Originality is more impressive.
How about computer controlled model busses plunging off of a model ravine - on webcam. With fire and fun like that. now THAT would be more original...
Sign me up for 'reliability' before 'predictability'. Not only because it's easier to spell, but for my servers that are out there, I'm not planning on that many changes.
IMHO, the stability afforded me by 'stable' is worth the occasional inconvenience of being a little behind in versions. (Or a lot behind).
Many many many people disagree with this. That is why there are other distros.
People were expecting it to come out sooner,
Why?
Who, in the Debian release process, said it would be out at a certain time? The continued party line to the question of 'when is the update going to be released' has been 'when it is ready', not 'in about X months... '. Only when it came to 'imminent release' did anyone start supplying dates.
That said, Branden was elected, I think, in no small part due to his stated commitment to more frequent releases. It is his prerogative to push for that. I certainly would welcome more frequent releases, but not at the expense of stability.
There are plenty of distros to choose from. I stick with Debian because the stability it offers. Since I have had uptimes on machines that exceed the span of release dates, I really don't mind so much. But I admit that I appear to be in the minority on that sentiment.
Debian lost a lot of its reputation with the delays for the current stable release.
How's that possible? Debian's reputation revolves around the slow release cycle. Ask anyone about Debian and they'll likely include 'slow release on stable' as part of their comments, whether they like Debian or not.
So... you're suggesting that this fellow approached the people who had the wireless network (knocked on the door, sent them an email, ???) and requested the use of it, but got no response? Is that why he snapped the laptop shut when he was spotted sitting there using it?
His laptop knocked on the door. The guys AP said "Hello, here, have an IP address.... "
The client was welcomed by the DHCP server, allowing it to enter the network.

You're not? Didn't you get the memo?
Well, I suppose you're right. We should be working on more fundimental [sic] problems like spelling.

But I could be wrong.

One article on Maine's time zone thing
If I'm 'bashing' them, it's in comments on slashdot. If they're reading all the comments on slashdot as part of their self learning....

GO WORK ON YOUR TRAINSET AND STOP READING SLASHDOT COMMENTS!!!!!!!
And if you're taking slashdot comments so seriously
"GO BUILD A WEBCAM ENABLED BUS PLUNGE MODEL AND STOP TAKING SLASHDOT COMMENTS SO SERIOUSLY"

Isn't it the University of Waterloo that did this, like, what, 10 years ago? Perhaps not ten, but AT LEAST 5, more like 7 or 8 years ago.

Awww... fsck it. It's a dupe. on the same page.
Not like the editors need to read their own site.
Two whole weeks ?! Wow, what an immense amount of sweat equity. And the planning was included in the two weeks? Wow, um, I'm underwhelmed.
I guess it shows how much planning went into it.
The general legality of dumpster diving is that if there is no local law or ordinance prohibiting it, it's legal.
:)
IANAL
YMMV
But I did find all the personnel records from a company I used to work for in a dumpster.
Surely now is the time to solicit donations for the project to get a new server or two? All this slashdot traffic and all...
What's that sonny? You gotta speak up for us 4-digit fogeys... "SPEAK INTO THE TUBE SONNY!" ;)
