    Some might have their voting rights revoked for felonies (to stop them from supporting the legalization of their crime, which was a serious problem in the distant past)

  9. What you could do is send a page to your neighbour's printer explaining that it's not secured and that anyone can send anything to it.

    If the neighbour has children, he would not want someone sending pornography on the printer. Or imagine the wife finding the prints before the husband.

    Or if someone hates the family, they could send fake drug/crime/etc-related paperwork/notes to the printer and then call the SWAT team to their house.

    The dangers of an open WiFi printer are real.

  10. Of course, with Bitcoins anyone can follow the price and buy/sell at the right times. You can even bypass the exchange to fiat currency and exchange your gains for a more stable coin, like EarthCoin.

    Hackers and conspirators in more than a dozen countries generated hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit proceeds on pump-and-dump stock schemes and particularly lucrative online gambling, prosecutors said.

    Are they also responsible for the sudden surge and fall of the Bitcoin value in the last week or so? It went up to USD$475 before falling down to USD$325.

    But you will watch the shows and movies you want to watch, so even within that inaccurate profile there's going to be a percentage of good data. Which is probably more than enough to still track you and try to sell things that matter to you, so you're not stopping anything.

  15. Did you really disable all the networking features? Would it still be possible for it to connect to a network via WiFi? What if the company is doing exactly that but isn't even listing that feature in the configuration settings? How would you know if it's connecting to a neighbour's open WiFi? You can't monitor what happens on your neighbour's WiFi.

  16. What's the difference between a TV and a computer monitor? They both have HDMI inputs and most people will be using external set-top boxes anyway. The real problem is finding a regular 1080p computer monitor bigger than 23~27".

    Well, there is the new problem of programmers compiling their software with an infected, not-downloaded-from-Apple version of XCode. I'm not quite sure if Apple can catch 100% of those that get sent to the App Store, but that's one major security risk IMHO. And I say that as an OS X user.

    Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop menu in menu bar

    You only need to do that once to enable the new menu. After that, if a website gives you "Flash is required to view the video", try the following:

    Develop > User Agent > Safari iOS X.X - iPad

    If the website does support iOS/iPad, it'll be sending your browser HTML5 code linked to a standard H.264 video file that will play without any problem.

    I've recruited over 40 players so far, so I'm sad to confirm polls that say spam works. And these are from Slashdot readers, who also hate spam. But it's also the same Slashdot readers that know about bitcoins, so I guess bitcoins beat spam.
