You could have a more powerful RFID tag that has some computation ability. This would allow you to generate a new code for every communication, preventing your replay attack.
If the list of request-responses was a true one time pad, then they might actually have some fairly good security from a radio attack, but the number of queries to the rfid tag would be finite.
If they use any kind of cipher, then it is very much open to attack.
Your language is dodgy here - like you don't want to get pinned down on the actual usage statistics (Which I would guess are very largely weighted in favor of porn and copyrighted materials).
Yes, I didn't bother to look up statistics. However, you have to be careful of your language there too, since I would assert that almost all material going over any p2p is copyrighted. Some of it might have a license that allows redistribution, though.
Any time two parties deal with each other contractually (e.g. You and the cable company), the terms of the agreement can be spelled out in any fashion, whatsoever. So - if the contract specifies it may interfere with your traffic, then they are exercising their power expressed within the contract.
The terms can't be spelled out in any fashion, they have to be contractible.
What if the contract of every ISP that was available in a certain house all said that the only website that could be accessed was Disney.com, and no protocols other than HTTP were to be allowed? As long as the service isn't advertised as "internet access", it is probably contractible.
My ideal solution would be to have the cables going into a house be a regulated utility, with the ISP then providing connection from a central location to the internet or whatever. Then you could actually have competition among ISPs. As it is right now, there is no real competition, with someone maybe having an option between cable, DSL, satellite, and a modem.
Why would ANY 64-bit distro default to 32-bit browsers? Wouldn't that defeat the point of even having a 64-bit distro, and require fragile compatibility libraries?
Um, then are you saying that every single drive in every single Dell laptop has the exact same image?
I would assume there would be an image for every drive size for every combination of laptop hardware they sell.
It isn't like they get imaged hard drives from the manufacturer, they have to image them somewhere, and right before they put it into a CTO laptop seems like a good time, since they could then include any updates, regardless of the OS.
They already have like 8 colors of some laptops, so having two different versions (Ubuntu/Windows) doesn't seem very hard to do at all.
I studied Japanese in college (CU), up through classic Japanese (4th year, 2 years ago), but at this point I have forgotten a lot of it, and kanji is my nemesis (more so than the average Japanese student).
For some reason I hadn't though of taking Japanese full time, even though I applied to a few Eikaiwas and JET a couple of years ago. My idea was to have a job to pay for my time there while I studied some Japanese on the side, but I agree that studying full time is much better for learning. I didn't even get interviewed with JET even though two of my letters of recommendation were from an English professor and the head of the Japanese department at CU.
I am going to apply to Yamasa, and then after that I don't know what (at this point).
If I get accepted to Yamasa, then quite literally your post would have changed my life in a drastic way.
It would either be "El Niño" or "La Niña", to match genders.
You were trying to refer to "La Niña", or a sustained sea surface temperature anomalies of magnitude greater than -0.5C across the central tropical Pacific Ocean.
More people should exercise their second amendment right to have a firearm, and defend themselves against armed intruders into their houses.
If police enter without knocking and showing a valid warrant, they are just like any other armed person breaking into a house. (If you think shouting "Police!" is enough, then every armed intruder is going to be shouting that, and then kill you when you surrender.)
If you are in a sealed container, with no way to measure outside the container, being in G-Force-One when it is in the free fall part of its flight is indistinguishable from being on the ISS, as far as gravity goes.
Next step: Actually punishing companies that break laws, in such a way they can't just dissolve the front and start with a new name and the same people.
If your "communications" could be data instead of voice, then I have an example of exactly how small a network could be, with existing wireless sensor nodes. That one is on a USB for a "base station", and is normally powered by 2 AAs, with the whole computer being the size of the back of the AA battery pack. The range on the radios there are about 100 meters.
If the AA batteries aren't needed, like if the plane is going to provide power, that is a very small and lightweight network.
Even some of the restaurants have them, "WARNING: Chemicals Known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects, or other reproductive harm may be present in food or beverages sold here or served here"
When was the last time a TSA officer killed someone and got paid leave while they had an "internal investigation" and found the officer not guilty?
When was the last time that a TSA officer beat someone up in handcuffs and didn't get any consequences?
When was the last time TSA smashed someones door down and shot all of the dogs in the house, again without repercussions?
Hell, when was the last time a police officer got sent to jail?
(Not saying that TSA is bad, just saying that Police Officers are indeed a thug caste, who are all immune from prosecution on just about every law, and are assumed to be in the right when their word differs from anyone else)
I really, really wish this post would be worth of a "-1 Troll" moderation, but all you can say is "give more citations".

Sprint has just such a credit limit, and it comes with the plan by default.
My phone bill can only be $600 before I have to pay it, or it gets cut off. That plan is $30/month normally.

So, you are in favor of ISPs forging traffic to prevent people from using bandwidth they paid for?
p2p, like Bittorrent are frequently used to transfer large files legally.
Firefox on Ubuntu 64-bit is 64-bit.
Why would ANY 64-bit distro default to 32-bit browsers? Wouldn't that defeat the point of even having a 64-bit distro, and require fragile compatibility libraries?
They are forging reset packets because it is easy. They detect a p2p connection, and fire off a reset, and then ignore it.
Slowing or delaying p2p is one thing, but actively forging packets, for any reason, should be punished severely.
Forging reset packets does not equal "throttling", even if it does reduce the load on the network.

Teledildonics seem to be an instantiation of what he is talking about.
My laptop running Ubuntu is also a PC.
I bet that isn't supported by their DRM.
Wow, thank you for posting that.

And more legal.
If she steals his money in the first case, he might be able to sue to get it back.
In the second case, if he sues, he might end up losing more....

Wow, 3gB/month is equivelant to 1.2 kBps.
You could get more transfer in a month using a modem...

That is some bad trolling there.

Maybe not for your family.
So you are saying I could leave the world by going up or down?
Hmm, I think there are religions based on that...
If you use paper, SD card, USB memory stick, hard drive, or whatnot it would have to survive being welded into the box, as well as opening the box.

My theory on that is:
when there is no repercussions for failure, and even in failure the workers still get paid, why bother to succeed?
Just like the new banking failures, where there isn't any risk to the workers, there isn't anyone trying to hard to make things right.
Or maybe I am just pessimistic.
Even some of the restaurants have them, "WARNING: Chemicals Known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects, or other reproductive harm may be present in food or beverages sold here or served here"
I guess I will have to stop eating LEDs, at least while in California.
