Airliners are tracked across country by emissions from illegal cell phone usage. The minute they make cell phones legal on airplanes, the thrill will be gone and there will be no way to track airliners because only the military has powerful radars.
What kind of crap is this? All aircraft in the US are tracked by the FAA. Pre 911 anyone could access the feed but now you need to provide a reason why you need it. see http://www.airnavsystems.com/ANLV/ .
As Paul Jakma (2677) points out, They can control the url that appears in your browser just as easily as I can. You try to go to google.com and I redirect you to my authentication server. I can call my auth server anything I want. As long as you don't have access to the internet till you go through me, I can say I am anybody. They can set up an access point and do the exact same thing.
Except he doesn't have the problem. It's the end user getting burned. Which is exactly why browsers scream about self-signed certs. My users problem is my problem. If someone is logged in with their username/password, they can't log in. I have a pissed off customer and a support call to deal with as well as a unknown user using my network without paying so I lose twice.
You miss an important point. I am running a NoCat authentication gateway which captures all inbound http trafic and directs it to a SSL login page. Lets say that I signed my own cert Snake Oil LTD so when a user tries to log on for the first time they have to accept my cert. They have the option of accepting it for this session only and so they do. The next time they try to log in, someone has set up a rouge AP and dirrects them to a login page just like mine. If they also signed their cert with Snake Oil LTD and say they are me, the user has no way of knowing that they are connecting to a different web server and enters their login/password which the rouge operator can then use to log into my network.

I have, that's what gives it the destintive dual-tone color. The lighter layers are from NYC and the darker layers are from here (Baltimore). You could even date it from a core sample.
Layer of flakey white stuff (salt from the winter of 02-03), Lots of dried resin and sap (spring of 03), A layer of NY dirt. (must of been early summer 03), A thick layer of Dark dirt co-mingled with fine sand (summer of 03), More salt but only a dusting (winter of 03-04), Another layer of NY dirt (spring 04), A fresh layer of sap (spring 04)... . Or perhaps you ment touching the back of the bus.

People really shouldn't be doing that anyway because it's very possible to scratch the finish on the car and do actual damage. Sure, it's not as bad as keying it, but it's still uncalled for.
I figured out the soultion to this a long time ago. Just don't wash your car. Ever. Not only can you not see the scratches or small dents, but after awhile it is much too dirty for anyone to want to touch it. Kind of like the soot on the back of a bus. You don't see anwone writing in that do you?
I'm tired of different PLUG per device. I have a large 12VDC power supply powering a couple switches, a soekris and a couple other things. I now seek out 12VDC things.
Many things that use less than 12V DC run just fine at 12V DC I mod quite a bit of bunk to POE and always overestimate voltage drop. My rule of thumb is 5 - 9V devices go to the 12V power supply.
On the surface it seems as if there is no profit motive. Note that the terms I use may be vague because I don't know what I am talking about You sell me x prefered whatevers for the market price that the shares are trading at. Say $10. I short X number of shares. If the price goes up I make nothing. If the price goes down I make nothing. So I am going to break even and I just gave you $10X to fund something that I was interested in. Say a lawsuit or something like that. If perhaps I was a competitor of the defendant, I could possibly gain quite a bit by funding your lawsuit while risking little or none of my capital. Stock people? Where are the holes? What risks do I have? Would it be legal? Sounds like a damb fine idea to me.
You never know. I have exactly this problem. I have a busness partner/customer that has four or five rotary phones in his house. He provides the capital, busness license and acounting and I run the network. This works out for me because I don't want to have to deal with the money side of things and he has a tall building in the right part of town which is 50 feet frome the CO. My DSL lines are a dream. My entire network runs out of his garage. He switched over to vonage so I plugged his entire house into the Vonage box. The connection sounded like crap untill I unpluged two of the phones in his house and hooked up a cordless phone for him which is plugged into AC power. Bandwith is not a problem, but he has a large building and I learned through trial and error that the only way to make all the phones work was to replace them with phones that had their own power. The garage is on a UPS which gives me enough time to go start the genirator when the power goes out but the cordless phones are on his power system and thus don't work whe we lose power. I have thought about providing VoIP to more of my wired customers and myself and this was one of the issues I was trying to work out. If I wire a local building with Cat5 I have four unused wires to each unit. I could take two of those wires and split them to a phone jack located in the same outlet as their ethernet jack. Next I work out a deal with a VoIP provider and give them the option of subscribing to phone service. How would I go about hookin up all those unused pairs and turn them into cash? I am a little toasted right now but I just thought of this right now and wanted to type it before I forgot about it. I already have quite a few customers wired with cat5 and would love to use the extra pairs for something.
If I hook the VoIP box up to my DSL router I have to give it one of my static IP addresses. Is there a way to give priority to VoIP packets that they have implimented or are they just giving priority to their own packets?
One word of caution.. don't hook up too many phones at once if you are doing this.... each phone you pick up (or that rings) (if the house is wired correctly) adds load to whatever is driving.. and if all that's driving is your little SIP box... you could fry it.
That's an interesting point. 1. How many is too many? 2. Wouldn't the devices just fail to ring or have a faint ring?
I wonder if you could rig some sort of dc injector as a work around?
I got a cat a few months ago that had worms and needed to get spayed. A freind of mine had a computer that was infested with Windows ME and loaded with spyware. I fixed his computer and he fixed my cat.
Comcast is protected by "Common Carrier" provisions -- "the law". You and I are not.
At what point am I considered a "Common Carrier"? When I have one other person on my T1? How about when I have ten people helping me pay for it? What If I have a T1 from Covad, a 6mb down ADSL line from Speakeasy, 40 regular users and the occational person who pays ten bucks for a week and logs on two or three times? Am I then a "Common Carrier"? I am contractualy responsible to Covad and Speakeasy, however, at least as far as my lawyer is concerned, as long as I don't monitor/control usage, I don't have any legal responsibility for what my users do. I don't even know who half of them are. As long as they pay with Paypal, NocatAuth lets them through. After that I don't care and I don't want to care. I keep logs for two weeks. After that all I can tell you is that username x has been online for h hours and transfered m Mbits of data.

I've had a shard of fiberglass in my leg for ten years (pole vaulting) and it hasn't come out yet. Sometimes after running two or three miles I can reach down and feel it but other then that I wouldn't even know it was still there.
Unless you were using an older version of Ad-aware, LSP-FIX would have fixed your tcp/ip stack. I used it on one of my friends computers and it worked perfectly.
