RIAA just proved how easy it is to manipulate the screenshots. It doesn't matter if they blurred or cropped the image, it should now be crystal clear even to most tech illiterate judge how easy it is to tamper the screenshots they are proposing to use as evidence.
You completely miss the point. They are not only enhancing the existing process but are also introducing new features (= GPS location tagging). So far police has been identifying the plates visually but they have not been logging the location of every vehicle they see.
Theoretically, every packet that you send needs an ARP entry, which means that every packet sent to something that isn't in your machine's ARP table would generate an ARP request.
In real life this is hardly ever needed. If the traffic is destined outside of the subnet, destination mac address will be that of the next-hop router (usually default gateway). In this case there isn't any need to send out ARP requests for those packets. Only packets to local subnet will have to have entry in ARP table.
In reality, it seems that your router tends to substitute its own MAC address for non-local ARP entries (since all non-local packets go through the router, you really don't have to know what the real MAC address is)
Cisco calls this functionality proxy arp. It is true that some of the cisco routers and L3 switches have proxy arp enabled by default.
As long as the client device have their default gateway and routing properly configured it shouldn't matter if the proxy arp is enabled or disabled. On the other hand, if they use proxy arp to find the next-hop router (or default gateway) the amount of ARP traffic is significantly higher. If this is the case, the question is why not to deliver the proper default gateway by using DHCP?
If you want to avoid SQL injection in PHP, one option is to use PDO and especially PDO->Prepare() and PDOStatement->Execute(). Again, not the silver bullet but easy and consistent way to handle weird user input.
Am I the only one that see's this as a way for Big Brother to have absolute, total power over your buying/spending abilities?
Where did you get the idea that they don't already have "total power over your buying/spending abilities?" Exactly how does this change anything?
I'll refuse to accept this bullshit concept, period. Cash is King.
Excellent! So don't use it credit or debit cards, only cash. And to be sure that big brother cannot track your buying/spending abilities use only coins as they don't have serial numbers.
You nailed the problem here, but probably not the way you intended.
The problem with "switch to Linux" movement is exactly that majority of the people think that switching is "download Ubuntu and be gone with it".
486 running Linux might have enough juice to run most of the application required by almost any business. Now tell me how many companies are actually doing that today? Now seriously tell me why not?
PoE is a clever way to power devices that are in hard to power places
It's also a clever way to save money as you only need to install one cable instead of two. For example consider a warehouse that needs a wireless network, why to install separate power cables for each access point when you can do PoE.
Check if your PBX supports Client (or Call) Matter Codes. It's an easy way to log 20sec calls (like resetting a password, re-enabling locked out user account) at end of the call. This way you can quickly log the call as follow-up, quick change or non-problem without consuming too much time. CMCs are not replacement for service calls. If the user has a problem that cannot be fixed during the call, a service call should be opened.
At end of the week you combine the CMC statistics from your PBX and processed trouble tickets. This way you also get number of the calls without CMCs, which you can compare to number of new service calls during same periods. If the numbers don't add up, you can start investigating the reason why no service call was logged nor CMC was used.
I'd say that it's stupid to ask the analysts open a service call in Remedy or HPSD for every password reset they do during the day - it takes more time to log the service call than to fix the problem.
If it's not possible to use CMCs ask them to keep count of the quick calls using pen and paper; list number of calls to reset password and so on. No matter which way you do, "logging" a quick call wont take more than 5 secs at end of the call.
First of all, we are in the new, improved world of broadband. Bandwidth is hardly an issue as graphics are loaded and stored once and usually on a connection that is capable of some 50 KB/s or more.
I think you are trying to say that bandwidth isn't an issue on client side. But please remember that more we get users that are capable of downloading at 50KB/s, more bandwidth is needed on server side.
Broadband connections don't eliminate congestion they just move it to server side.
So they've figured out how to bend light for optical camo. Neeto. Now how in the hell does this have anything to do with radar?
Both, radio waves used by radar and visible light, are different types of electromagnetic radiation. Wavelength used by radars is ~2-4cm while wavelength of visible light is ~400 - 700nm.
Could he then use the power of his position to make his bumping off of the hobo confidential and be immune from any prosecution on the act?
No, you cannot declare something classified to cover your illegal acts. Section 1.7 of Executive order 12958 prevents classification to conceal violations of law.
4. I just checked my Yahoo! Mail account (which I only use to give to stupid registration-required sites), and my inbox is full of spam. My GMail inbox has yet to receive a spam message.
Little bit OT, but go ahead and try mailinator.com. It's probably the best possible web mail service for such use.
Of course badly designed computer system isn't good for the job. It's exactly like comparing the badly desgined "pen-and-paper" system to stream-lined computer system.
Yes, but isn't that the point of open source? I'm sure this homework report has been written by someone before, and if they'd just open source it then this guy could reuse it and save his time for writing some other more useful report that hasn't been written yet.
The OS itself is becomming less, and less relevant.
No, OS is becoming what it's supposed to be - an arbitration layer between hardware and applications. OS itself shouldn't include GUI, or any other UI, for that matter.

Quaoar was discovered in 2002, it's diameter is over 1200km.
In 2003 scientists discovered Sedna, which has diameter between 1100 - 1800 km.
No, but it's a good start.
