Just thought though- not impossible. They could break my strong password on the router (which has it's own webserver at xxx.xxx.xxx.1 on the subnet) and then they'd be able to put themselves in the DMZ. But that still wouldn't give them access to the 2nd router or the network.
Would be kind of hard- there's a hardware firewall between my LAN and my W-LAN, and the majority of computers that actually store real information is on the LAN. My personal use for the WLAN is entirely browsing in various forms- so port 80 filtering is adequate. And nobody's going to be sending spam if everything other than port 80 is filtered out (nobody's going to be running file shareing either- or for that matter, games).
Gamers complain when their latency exceeds 50 ms- if this system was what I thought it was (a WiFi server making the rounds by bicycle to villages that have no Internet access, instead of a single computer with a Satelite Connection) what would they say about the latency exceeding one week (or whatever it took for the server to come back and fullfill their requests)?
Has anybody running an open wifi connection *ever* had either of these happen? I've been running semi-open wifi (port 80 open, rest of the ports filtered on a Linksys DHCP router) for two years now- of course, I've yet to get up that dish so that I can access it from the park (ran out of time soon after getting the dish) but you can access it from the other side of my fence on the sidewalk just fine. And I've NEVER had a problem.
A true left winger- and there aren't many of those in the United States- has no need for copyright controls because under a left wing logical system human survival isn't left to chance like it is under capitalism. The guy creating, creates merely for the joy of creating, and cannot not create because his brain isn't wired to live without creating. Therefore he must create, and will do so regardless of monetary reward. Thus, yes, the only ones with a vested interest in copyright controls are indeed the true right wingers- those attempting to live without creating, by ownership of the copyrights and patents and investments of previous generations. Those people have a BIG vested interest in copyright controls- unable to create themselves, they owe their very lives to the work done by previous generations.
I hack marxism to try to get it to work, and one of my rules for hacking marxism is "Those who do not produce, should not eat." Raising kids or crops is producing. Inventing new items is producing. Working in a factory is producing. Banking is NOT producing, nor is investing- that's on the parasite side of things.
How does this help? Are you thinking you can use P2P software and nanofactories or something to smuggle physical objects? That would be cool-and it's something you could almost use today's nanofactories for (assuming you had a good supply of the elements that are the building blocks of the chemical you are synthesizing).
Gee, I thought it was *exactly* the sort that gets the 9th in trouble- it's one that messes up the controls that the right wing conspiracy have put in place to keep the population down. Fair use is a *hippie commie* sort of thing, not the sort of thing any right-minded court would let loose, therfore it will be overturned.
"or sites like it". As in p0rn sites. Doesn't matter the specific site- everybody does it at some point, some out of curiosity, some out of perverseness, some out of just plain cussedness, but everybody does it and there's no need to protect it as private.
I can always find a use for 16MB of flash memory- one way or the other. Heck- 256 bits of flash memory is just perfect for holding a universally unique identifier.
Everybody visits tubgirl (and other sites like it) at some point, there ain't no shame in it. Therefore- no, I don't care what the corporate overlords know about me- maybe it will help them to figure out that not everybody is the same and a few of us are plotting against them.
Do you really think that the rich would allow money not spent on science to go to the poor? There's a real and profitable reason to keep people poor- and a real and profitable reason to gather money up into incredibly large bank accounts under a single person instead of sharing with everybody. Note, I didn't say they were good reasons- but as long as those reasons are allowed to exist, there is NO chance of money being saved from ending projects like this going to the poor. None at all.
Better yet- in a different form of processing, for hardware hackers everywhere they just came out with the $20 1.5" computer monitor- a few of these babies, a mirror and some lenses, and you can probably build yourself a sub-$100 projector....
Get the right blue LED and you've got a pretty well workable flashlight (I've got one hanging on my jacket, just enough light to be able to get the key in the door).
I disagree- all I need is a 4g broadcasting camera that will broadcast for 3 minutes on a 1g watch battery, and I will have a probe I can control with my Ipaq!
True enough- but we're not exactly limited to *human visual* color coding frequencies either as long as the fiber is transparent to the frequencies in use, NOR are we limited to thinking in serial, for a set of colors could be bonded together into a single channel.
RGB alone gives several million distinct colors, what more do you want, egg in your beer? All you need to do is refine the tuning on the sending and recieving sides.
How many do you need? How many can you get on an electrical Ethernet Switch right now? I've seen 32 port switches- that's only 32 channels needed. The original thought experiment was only a 2 channel switch to begin with- deciding between 2 cities on a backbone.
More complex routing requires IP inspection, but simple routing does not.

This seems more like a satelite connection to me- where's the WiFi in this article?

If it wasn't for Casini? After all, who had imagined moons this size before?
I can see the flash memory and the screen being very usefull.

Not unless Martians are now Big Nosed Penguins (see the first three strips in the newly revived version of Bloom County: OPUS!)

Pay now, or this unit will self destruct. You have 10 seconds. 9. 8...

Labour Party always have the majority
I think, given Bill Gates' famous support of liberal causes, you have your answer right there.
Never- ever- piss off a hacker. The people behind this are probably all techies whith plenty of time on their hands due to Bush's Job-loss recovery.
Instead of relying on technology all the time, maybe we could get back to actually living for working instead of working for a living.
