Roads are expensive, and somebody has to pay for them. Don't want to pay taxes? Fine with me, but don't use common resources that require other people to pay money to build and maintain.
OK, OK, technically you're right. But just because you receive something doesn't mean you should necessarily pay for it. You're receiving this conversation with me. Please send me a check.
It's not even legal to offer an mp3 for download to a user who has bought the original CD. Common sense and copyright law don't necessarily go hand in hand.
Hold on. You have to slow down. You're losing it. You have to take a breath. Listen to yourself. You're connecting a computer bug I had with a computer bug you might have had and some religious hogwash. You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.
Sure, others can find the same vulnerabilities, but I find it highly unlikely they find it at the very same time.
This person has found the vulnerability at the same time over and over. As Ben Franklin said, "In order for three people to keep a secret, two must be dead."
So it seems that full disclosure is the only option, short of homicide, anyway.
I wouldn't buy a warranty for a computer. Of course, I wouldn't buy a computer from Best Buy.
I know how to diagnose and fix a computer. Most of the parts that will go bad are cheap, and a year later when they actually go bad they'll be even cheaper. By buying a warranty, I'm paying for the diagnosis and installation, as well as the parts. It makes no sense.
If you no nothing about computers on the other hand, and you don't know anyone else who does. Well then you're probably the kind of person who will buy a computer from Best Buy.
Generally three reasons. Because it's legally required (car insurance), because they can't get a mortgage without one (homeowners insurance), or because they're suckered into it (life insurance).
Health insurance is usually required by an employer, but for those with significant medical bills it sometimes is worth it, as you get the bulk rates.
A better question would be why do people sell insurance?
The idea I was refering to is to maintain a firewall between the wireless network and the rest of the LAPD's internal network so even if someone unauthorized person were to drive by and obrain access to their wireless network through some means, they still wouldn't have access ot the rest of the LAPD's network.
I see. I'd recommend even more than that. The wireless network shouldn't be connected to LAPD's internal network at all.
Anyone who ever buys oil. Anyone in Turkey. Anyone with a loved one in the United States 3rd Infantry. Anyone in the United States. Anyone in the Middle East. Anyone in France. Just about anyone.
I mean, they (seem to me to) have a virtual monopoly on the business router market
I find it a bit of a stretch to compare a monopoly on the business router market to one on the consumer operating system market.
There is (obviously) the huge difference in size. But there's also a huge difference in barriers to entry. Cisco is the leader in routers largely because of their reputation, and not (for the most part) because of proprietary protocols and APIs.

The same device that sends the data could easily receive its location data back.
Unless that data is only decoded in the event of an emergency call, which seems likely to me.
I was wondering the same thing. Then I read this. It's probably cheaper to make phones that merely relay GPS data, rather than decode it.
Unless you are doing something wrong, why does it matter that people can track you?
Because there are lots of things that aren't wrong, but are illegal.
The important thing is that each cell can communicate with its neighbors, and has some role to play in a larger system.
Then why isn't an ant farm, or the city of New York, a single organism?
Does this mean the fungus will be put on the endangered species list?

I do pay taxes though. Just not income taxes.
I don't drive on federal highways...

Neither roads nor schools are paid for by income taxes.

In New Hampshire you don't need to buy car insurance
It's too bad it's so damn cold, or I'd live there.
Employers don't usually require health insurance and prefer if they don't have to be bothered since it costs them time and money.
I guess my experience is different from most. I didn't always have to get health insurance, but I did always have to pay for it.
You don't need life insurance, it's just a good idea.
Life insurance is very rarely a good idea. Even less now that the death tax is getting phased out.

They also haven't said what network protocol, or what mode 802.11b will be in, or what software they will use to do it... do you want all that too?
Absolutely. I want to know exactly what technological solutions my police department is spending my tax money on.
If they set up the system properly, they could use ad hoc mode and a dynamic routing algorithm to even further extend the range.
Sounds good in theory, but in practice a few years down the road, people can hack an open system like that.
Better close it, cause we all know how well that security through obscurity works.
There's nothing wrong with an "open system," as long as you layer adequete security protections on top of it.
I suppose they're going to follow everyone else's lead and place a firewall between wireless and wired networks, providing VPN access.
VPN access to what? The article says nothing about the internet.
My rhetorical question wasn't supposed to actually be asked!

The good news is that those who bought a Linksys access point now have a Cisco access point for 1/2 of the price ;)
The bad news is that those who buy Cisco access points in the future will have a Linksys access point for twice the price ;)
More like Mr. Non Sequitur.
That (maybe) covers child porn. But child porn isn't the only thing you can transfer illegally over the internet.
