They don't want to take a return? They can duke it out with Visa/Mastercard/Amex as I'll just call by credit card company and reverse the charge on the grounds that they wouldn't accept a return. I normally hate to pull that card especially on small mom and pop stores but I'll make an exception for corporate douche bags.
The thing is, While Lightsquared has a legitimate clame to use that spectrum and the FCC said "sure go ahead and use it for that, test it, etc". Some engineer at Lightsquared *should* have known this would be an issue. Instead Lightsquared has pretended to be ignorant and stuck deals for funding, etc going forward. Just because they got "permission" to use the spectrum doesn't absolve them of some due diligence to be aware that they were doing something that was likely to cause major waves.
They did indeed get a shitty deal, but the information was available to them at the time to see it coming.
Suddenly we should ban certain content? How is google supposed to know what is protected speech and what is illegal? Why should they ban anything other than outright illegal content which they don't need policy to remove?
Blackberries specifically have additional features that can trigger a wipe if the device fails to check in within a specified amount of time. While this could at least be delayed by pulling the battery, you better not power it up later in a shielded lab or it will nuke itself first thing. To deal with that potential, they would have to treat all devices as potentially having that feature and would need to leave them powered off and deal with reading the date directly out of the device memory.
Blackberries (if configured to do so) encrypt the device memory with a key protected by the users pin. A wipe of the device first nukes the key and then actually does a secure erase of the flash memory also (takes ~90 min).
Since its sensitive to UV, I guess you better be careful taking it outside or leaving it near a window. (Yes, I know most glass blocks a lot of UV, but still).
While 4100 lumens is certainly a lot of light... Its certainly not 100 times brighter than the previous brightest flashlights. I have 100 lumen flashlights from surefire kicking around all over, and a quick visit to their site found this on the front page:
http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/prrfnbr/419/sesent/00
(thats a 500 lumen flashlight)
Anyway, all that to say, this is way over-hyped.
I was the syadmin at a private college for a few years, but I occasionally wore the network admin hat as well. >50% of DMCA notices we received were outright invalid. They referred to ip address that we owned which weren't even in use, "internal ip addresses" that didn't exist, etc. The majority of my time spent dealing with DMCA notices wasn't spent tracking down offenders, it was spent verifying that a given address wasn't in use, and then responding to that effect.
The number of reflections that an HF signal would undergo in a decade of bouncing around anything the size of the earth, is simply astronomical. The efficiency of reflection would have to be similarly astronomical.
Let alone enough of the signal staying intact to still hear several seconds of it (enough to identify it as Vietnam chatter).
I agree. I wasn't saying that the kid in the library 'earned' jolts from a taser. I was reiterating that everyone who is criticizing the officers is saying how unfair it is that he was being ordered to get up and get out of the library immediately after being tased, that he couldn't possibly have gotten up after such cruel torture. My point was simply that he could have. Instead he continued to resist. Not resisting punishment mind you, but resisting the officers DOING THEY'RE JOBS. He wouldn't leave the library, fine. No big deal. Write him a citation, give him a chance to have his day in court. But he still has to leave the library. If he still won't (and he didn't), the officers had to take him into custody, and remove him from the library. He wasn't PUNISHED for mouthing off. Force was used to take him into custody, so he could be cited, arrested, whatever. THEN he gets to have his day in court to decide if he is guilty and of what.
He resisted, physically, the lawful force of a police officer carrying out his duties. That is why he got tased. Most officers are trained to wait and be patient, de-escalate the situation if possible. If not, when escalation of force is required, to act swiftly and overwhelmingly to subdue the subject, and then release that force as soon as cuffs are on, etc. Most people who get tased, get it and stop. What else would you have the officer do faced with someone physically resisting? Get in there and slug it out with the guy? Have to worry about the guy grabbing his gun and using it?
You obviously have not been tased. I realize that you think you can imagine what it might be like to be tased, but you're wrong. I have been tased. So has everyone else in my dept that carries one. When the juice turns off, there is NO lasting effect. It WAS painful, now it isn't. There is no lasting motor disruption.
I would definitely rather be tased than forced into submission with a night stick or a baton. It takes a lot more restraint and precision to prevent serious injury with a baton.
Parent is right on. Grow up and do what the policeman tells you (as long as its reasonable, like leave the library). If you disagree, the worst thing you can possibly do is mouth off and resist. Certainly don't continue after it has earned you one, two, three, or more taser jolts.

The other day my company ordered a ~$2500 1u server from dell. We realized we were going to need more capacity and told our rep we wanted to return it and order a more expensive 2u. I sure didn't think he'd be excited about taking the server back, but I was a bit surprised when his reponse was "If you can find a use for that server, we'll pay you $500 to keep it".
They must have a hell of a lot of head room and logistics of taking a return must cost them quite a bit.
I've seen a couple of demos of the airespace (now cisco) tech. Their high end access point actually has an 8 antenna phased array antenna that is very accurate directionally. They even sell little 802.11 tags about the size of a box of matches that can be tracked using their system.
Also, they APs can effectivly keep anyone else from connecting to any rogue AP by continuously sending disconnect packets to all of its clients, as well as determining whether its on your network and such.
Theres a company called Ruckus that does this also. Saw them a year ago or so at an education conference. Very cool service that also includes feature movies. You colocate their hardware on your campus, and they come swap out hard drives every couple of weeks.
Good interface and good content. Also witht the ability for students to burn/keep/buy music as an option.
You can use putty (free windows ssh client) to create a SOCKS4 proxy that appears to come from any machine you can ssh to. Google for putty and click the first hit.
To set up the proxy: under the tunnels settings, create a "dynamic" tunnel on port 8080 or some port of your preference. Then after the ssh session is up, point your browser at a SOCKS4 proxy on localhost, port 8080 (or whatever you used).
It can also be helpful to enable keepalive packets to keep your firewall from closing the idle ssh session.
Just get a friend to give you shell access, or maybe your institution has a shared machine you can ssh to for the proxy to come from.

I have one of these, its not sharp enough to cut a person, nor hard enough to hold any cutting edge. You might be able to make a shallow stab wound if bone isn't in the way. It does look like a real knife from a few feet away though.
Mine came with a little metal ring through the hndle since "it was illegal to ship weapons to CA that wont set off metal detectors." I cut off the ring with wire cutters in 2 seconds...

Be careful, if you call a toll free number, they get your number no matter what. If you called them, that might be considered a "buisiness relationship" which MIGHT make it easier/legal for them to telemarket you or sell your number to someone else.

I vote that we make the parent the default first post for all future /. articles.

The reason to not open it is so the intended recipient doesn't know the pin has been intercepted.
I thought this was obvious....
