I have Comcast and change my WAN-facing MAC all the time (usually when I want a new IP address to avoid having a long-term profile built up by Google et al) with no ill effect. And the wireless MAC of a router wouldn't affect Comcast at all. Mine's DE:AD:BE:EF:D0:0D.
You joke about the TPM thing, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that surfaces as a serious proposal, even if as just a safe harbor against being accused of cooking the books.
Good times. Stuff like (made up) ET3, while performing autoerotic asphyxiation in an EAB, fell unconscious and landed on a deckplate. SNM suffered concussion and temporary paralysis.
It just works, like 3G on the iPhone? They're selling "design" not "just works" to BMW set wannabes that think they're special because they paid double for a computer.
They're not going to give people a means to see what they've used without a fight. The last thing they want is a bunch more people using 249.9 GB per month, which is why in the past the cap was secret (and dynamic, I suspect). My highest usage in recent months was a little over 30 GB (thanks, DD-WRT) and I know I intend to kick it up a notch.
I think Apple just really doesn't want Joe Average to realize there's nothing special about Mac hardware--they use commodity PC components that Dell sells for $400 on sale, shine them up with some design, and sell them for $1,000. I normally hate car analogies, but it's not that dissimilar to what Toyota does with Lexus and Honda with Acura except that Apple doesn't actually produce the lower trim-lined brand.
To expose a scumbag real estate agency? Maybe it screwed him over, too. Good for him for providing a public service making people aware of the apparent malfeasance of Canton Commercial.
If it's public record, it should be freely available to anyone without jumping through hoops. The powerful liked the old system in which, while technically public records, the records were only available to people who were either lawyers or had the luxury of being able to visit the courthouse during the hours the little people are typically working. Now if we want to have a conversation about what is public record, that's fine--but all of the past is toothpaste that isn't going back into the tube anyway.
If you'd have been my kid, you'd have been going to a new college the very next semester absent a full scholarship at the institution that pulled that crap.
Who's going to be surprised when every "agreement" (you know, those things that let you know you've "agreed" to binding arbitration through an arbitrator of the company's choice and that says they'll only share your non-public personal data as "permitted by law"--the ones that can change "from time to time" as they see fit) includes a clause in which as a condition of being allowed to do business with the benevolent company that we "agree" to accept such calls from them, their subsidiaries, their affiliates, and anyone else to whom they sell our telephone numbers?
Yup, lots of things they told us about the U.S.S.R. as evidence of their totalitarian lack of freedom seem to be common place here in the U.S.A.: de facto internal passports for air and rail travel, obligation to produce papers on demand, cultivation of informants, mass surveillance, and (as you pointed out) restrictions on photography.
If the fact that his first pet's name was Mittens is potentially the key to a bunch of other sets of credentials is understood by the perp, then yes. These are metapasswords that are commonly used across scads of websites and would be very useful information for someone wishing to use a usurped identity.
I suggest we all write our congressmen to demand this unpatriotic Lomonosov-Lavoisier law be repealed, then! I don't think our capitalist system should be denied its SUVs based on some silly conservation law.

Thanks, that's quite interesting!

Lexus ES = rebadged Camry with extra trim; Acura TSX = rebadged Accord with extra trim. Mac = rebadged generic PC with extra trim.

Glad to hear you're not taking that lying down!

Which would make him an intelligent man even if not sensitive :).
Owww! Good one.
That is seriously nice. Your wife is obviously a lucky woman.

That's not technically true. There is a spending limit; they just don't tell you what it is until you hit it.
