In the UK if you had a wireless access point which was used by a third party in this manner to download child porn, particularly if you had your own caching proxy for net access, you would automatically be looking at a two year prison sentence for "possession" of such material. You would have to convince the Crown Prosecution Service otherwise.
Incidentally under UK law as a BOFH, if I were asked as part of my job to investigate a machine the someone said had been used to browse porn and the system contained child porn and I imaged the drive, I would be looking at 10 years in prison for "copying child porn". It's insane - the current situation encourages admins to simply wipe hard drives and say nothing otherwise they risk prosecution. That's just plain wrong.
If one could afford transparent walls with glowing fish, I really don't think it would be an issue - I'm sure there are people who will specialise in the area for hire by one's butler.
Aw c'mon. That was one of the laziest Mac trolls I've ever seen. Are you sure you didn't want to mention something about a Pentium II sitting in your closet at home?
My Pentium II is next to me with Linux installed on it.
Heh - I first saw the "cat chases the laser pointer" thing whilst at a friends house - the cat literally went NUTS trying to "catch" the dot. It was one of the funniest things to see the cat pounce on it with both paws, convinced that it had "caught" it (of couse my friend turned OFF the pointer when the cat did this). The cat then slowly would lift up a paw to see what was underneath, but of course there was nothing. You could see the pure confusion on it's face.
Unfortunately it's dead now - probably died never knowing the secret of the "mystery dot".
Set them up in your garden so that they form a grid with sensors to detect when beams are broken. Write some software to generate a grid reference from this data so that any object breaking the beams can be tracked to it's sector - B6, E2 etc. Draw a diagram of the grid and print it out. Send copies to your friends.
Output the grid reference to a web page - it should now be relatively easy for your friends to track your exact position in the garden while talking on the phone
There is more to education than pure practicality, you know.
I agree entirely. What I disagree with are compulsory useless subjects where the only reason they are compulsory is because nobody would be interested otherwise. RE for example.
I have absolutely no problem with (and in fact would argue that it's a good thing) the fact that esoteric subjects are taught, however give people a choice.
Oh lovely, another intolerant asshat. Hi there, asshat.
Yeah, all that stuff they forced on us, like math, and english, and science. Fuck that shit. You apparently did.
Oh look - another coward.
Ask yourself this - if it's so useful why are kids FORCED to do it? Why do we not just go the whole hog and teach chalk and slate?
This chirpy brand of chatter is thought to have come over with early African settlers 2,500 years ago. Now, educators are working hard to save it from extinction by making schoolchildren study it up to age 14.
Wow I bet THAT's popular with the kids - I'm surprised spammers haven't started printing messages on ceiling tiles so that when children are told just how much time they are going to be wasting being forced to learn something pointless they have something to look at.
As we all know the subjects we all love and care deeply about are the ones we were forced to do as children such as RE (Religious Education) and PE (Physical Education). You know something is popular when the word "forced" is used.
Have you actually read RFC 821? If so, perhaps you could point out exactly where the functionality of the guest-level account is specified? Or are you just talking out of your arse?
It wouldn't be mentioned in that RFC as I believe that was written before any form of user authentication was part of SMTP. AUTH SMTP is described in RFC 2554 - SMTP Service Extension for Authentication
however it doesn't mention anything about a "guest" account specifically, just "accounts".
Modern SMTP mail systems are based on a number of RFC's - 2234, 1869, 1891, 2119, 2222, 2476, 2195, 821, 822
Unless you have failsafe tamper proof user interfaces that use biometrics to constantly authenticate the user (i.e. fingerprint and body temerature signature recognising keyboards and mice) along with RFID readers to detect the proximity of the user to the machine (based on the RFID chips implanted in the user's body, naturally) along with digitally signing the network traffic generated by the user of the machine with the biometric data of that user in a way that it could not be tampered with, along with video cameras constantly filming what the user is doing, then the trojan case will always be available...
"The UO-14 satellite has been declared officially dead. The Mission Control Centre at the Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) Center for Satellite Engineering Research reports that the venerable and popular bird "has reached the end of its mission after nearly 14 years in orbit."
I guess we know what the "14" was for then. Perhaps they should have used a bigger number...

...or perhaps she knows which clubs she should avoid dancing in so YOU don't get embarrassed!
The technology is not based on GPS but triangulates the position of the phone based on signal strength of masts.
Any phone can be tracked in this manner.
An enemy is anyone who doesnt have an implanted RFID tag silly!
Have you considered just getting them socks or chocolate?
Commission Apple to come up with a case for microwave ovens based on the TiBook casing.
Voila - instant Faraday Cage.

The thing is, its this sort of off the wall development that can spark great never-before-possible ideas.
For example they would make a way cool lighting system if you had transparent walls or tanks inserted into walls for bars or very expensive houses.
Durable?? I moved mine on my desk and the thing stopped working - that was a month ago and I'm STILL waiting for the repair!
Aw c'mon. That was one of the laziest Mac trolls I've ever seen. Are you sure you didn't want to mention something about a Pentium II sitting in your closet at home?
My Pentium II is next to me with Linux installed on it.
And FYI it's not a troll, just the truth.

But then the cat would know it was a trick - duh.

I think Bluetooth may be a little bit of a bad choice for remote control of a flying robot. Lets hope it can't fly more than 10m...

Crash it into the sun - works all the time on Star Trek.
No silly that would make sense and would involve copying.
More importantly, why is a badge being used? The average mobile phone could do most of this via bluetooth.
Unless you are firewalling your incoming mail server, yes they can.
