Somehow my reply went as reply to the article, not to your post, so here is the reply, sorry for the dupe:
No, according to the article it's possible to program a mobile through air (as example they say that some providers do that for maintenance). So police and government can work with the provider to accomplish this. Alternatively, you have Bluetooth, infrared, WLAN. So from how i see it, it is technically possible that people can track my position (that's old), hear what i hear (hands-free-mode, article in german magazine "Spiegel 29/07"), see my contacts, my calendar, my photos, and activate my camera (tfa). That's probably only possible for the government right now (and even that is far too much power over my privacy as i want them to have!) but i guess some company or hacker will figure how to do that with just a laptop or whatever in the future.

Sounds to me like what is happening now in Germany. In a recent article in a renomated german magazine, they describe how some policemen in one state already turn mobiles into a wiretap, even when the mobile appears to be off.
The case of the arrest of New-York mafiaguy John Ardito is probably in the same direction: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6140191.html.
If you can turn a mobile into a wiretap, and even fake that the mobile is turned off, you most probably can do much more like reading SMS, calendar, etc.
That's were our rights are going:(
Didn't know that. But how stupid is that to sue a company for a product, when you're operating the device yourself? Like hitting myself with a knife and sueing the manufacturer that they made a sharp knife.
I guess, they got confused. The guys showed their technology to a well-known hacker's conference in Berlin/Germany (22c3 = 22th Chaos Computer Club (conference)). That's it. Actually, the poster shouldn't only read the first word of the article.
I've learned if nothing else works vlc will just work fine. It's missing some usability but it has all the codecs built-in and it actually played everything i didn't get to work with others (on windows as well as linux).
The changes-document doesn't mention "Wireless Access Point" but mentions WPA.. And the common abbr. for an Access Point is AP not WAP (and as mentioned, WAP is already known too well for Wireless Application Protocol). It's just a typo, imho and i just wanted that noone becomes confused.. Any editor can verify and change this?
Uhm, i don't think that WAP (like html for mobiles) has something to do with wifi, most probably the article means this sentence: "In addition to architectural changes, it includes completed 802.11g, WPA [...]" WPA = security standard (stay back from WEP, guys!)
There are thousands of free cms avaiable, and many of them would match the few points you give. try http://typo3.com/ or better: look at http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ and compare them yourself. Plone, which was mentioned before, is worth a look too.
mh, i don't think i said that, and i guess you got my point.. It's just far more customer-friendly to use a few standards than a whole bunch of them, that basically do the same or share similar goals.
Personally I like open standards, but one thing standards should solve is the interoperability between devices/OS's. But how does this go with even more standards for graphics and sound? For me it is like fighting proprietary standards with flooding the market with even more standards. How is the market supposed to react? Should every graphic device be able to handle all the "nice" open standards(same for sound)? We know this will not happen, and imho it just leads to less interoperability, because device 1 will probably just handle Format X & Y whereas device 2 handles Y & Z.
One can see this with mp3-portables. One can play mp3 + wma, the other one just wma + aac, and so forth. But it's hard, if not impossible, to find a player with decent features and support for the formats you wish.
I learned that this is for "jump" and "kill". And quite obviously the other flip-flops have reasonable names too (like Reset and Set for the RS-Flip-Flop and not Richard-Stallman-Flipflop as you might think).
did it ever come to your mind that you could export it to.pdf? I'm only using Openoffice and everytime i have to hand in a report i export it to.pdf (and sometimes a.doc too). This way you can be sure your professor reads what you read;)
I must say openoffice.org fulfills all my needs and i'm very happy with it.

your java-results probably also contain "Javascript" (think of jobs for web 2.0, ajax, etc.).
Not to mention the tremendous amount of jobs for java-coffee-machine-engineers!

Like hitting myself with a knife and sueing the manufacturer that they made a sharp knife.
I think he should sue every band he listened to, too. Most probably it was their fault to record loud music.
That's so stupid, it's only possible in the U.S.

RSA secured can mean that it uses WEP.
Afaik (correct me if i'm wrong) WEP uses RC4 which was invented by some security guys at RSA.
wow, i get "overrated" for a post explaining something, and the original post gets "4, Informative" for a not-so-obvious joke or mis-statement...
Did noone of you notice this is a joke?
I learned that this is for "jump" and "kill".
And quite obviously the other flip-flops have reasonable names too (like Reset and Set for the RS-Flip-Flop and not Richard-Stallman-Flipflop as you might think).
mh, i use linux
Mh.. Microsoft..
Will linux-images be declared illegal then, too?

Germans which are interested in it may also buy the latest computermagazine c't where it is described in detail.
it wasnt meant that serious. ;)
I know that its not really broken yet, so noone has to panic
Wah, SHA1 Broken! SSL!! WAAA, PANIC!!!
:)
just for all you tinfoilhats out there
yay, i only have ut2003 so i didnt know this.
Probably the reason why i should buy ut2004?
