I disagree... Freeze the funds in dispute, sure, but don't freeze the entire account unless it is absolutely mandatory to proceed with the investigation
My understanding is that most machines will only wake up if they receive a WOL packet, not just any packet with their MAC.
However, even if it's just general traffic addressed to the given MAC, with the amount of network traffic flowing around your average Windows network it wouldn't surprise me if it's simply the master browser checking to see if your machine is still active to update the browser lists.
That's just a guess, but it sounds reasonable, at least in your typical Windows network.
I took that to mean that if the computer is connected to a non-switching hub, where every packet is passed to every port, then the wake-on-LAN will unavoidably get activated by packets meant for other machines
That is not correct.
WOL will only trigger based on a specific MAC address. However, the various network traffic will prevent the machine from going into sleep in the first place, unless the user happens to smack the sleep button before they leave.
TELUS, however, does not monitor bandwidth at all at this time.
While that may change in the future, my servers are pushing about 110gig/month at this time, and Shaw makes no allowance for anyone who plans on going over the limits.
Not with effective encryption. If the data is properly encrypted and signed, with a central ISP handling the decryption before releasing the packets out to the internet in general, it could probably be accomplished reasonably securely.
In Calgary, the buttons are functional. The traffic control lights still change for cars automatically, but in many intersections you won't get a walk light unless you press the button.
Downtown, however, there are no buttons, the walk lights flash with the traffic.
No no, the light turns green parallel to the traffic. You walk beside the cars, only cars turning cross a pedestrians' path. Additionally, these cars won't get a turning signal in this stage.

Unless I'm mistaken, you can have two hypotheses which both fit the evidence. In the absence of further evidence, you have two valid theories (although ultimately at least one must be incorrect, or at a minimum incomplete)

The solution is simple. Remove their phones from the theatre, you'll probably find that they take a swing or two at you then go running after their precious.
Just wildcard it. Use robots.txt to say that/secretstuff/* should not be indexed, that still won't help the l33t hax0r determine that it's/secretstuff/toodumbtouseapassword/bush-secret-nuk e-codes.lnk.exe.pif.scr which is the hidden file to destroy the world.
Sure, as long as there is proof of WHO clicked the "I Agree" button.
If there are no witnesses, or if I can do so from the privacy of my own home (offsite/remote worker), then how can they prove it was me, or one of the 11 year olds running around the house?

On the advice of my lawyer, I paid the agency and sued Paypal in Small Claims Court. They claim I can't do that
IANAL, but personally, my response to "can't do that" would be "I just did"
Talk about assholes that unilateraly change

Let me guess, you opted out of the ToS changes option, so you didn't know in advance that this policy change was going to take effect, right?

Actually Shaw is becoming more friendly to the use of servers. SOHO and up ($64.95/month) allow servers.

The same is true in Canada and (as I understand it) the US.
Go ahead and try it in NYC though, you'll only do it once, from then on whoever pushes your wheelchair for you will wait until the light changes.
