this being slashdot, I'd like to inform most readers the parent is referring to the mammaries of the human female, which a small number of you will encounter privately in person and not just via pr0n websites or viewing through a pair of binoculars.
just google for "nemesis service suite" - it's a windows app that will change all sorts of things about your phone including the product ID, which then means the Nokia Software Updater will allow you to install generic s/w which is usually the latest version. I have de-branded quite a few N95s and my own E65, and they're so much better for it. Note that this can also brick your phone, so be sure to check the product code BEFORE is compatible with the intended code AFTER.
I have compact flash wireless card which works just fine - I can surf over wifi.
There are compact flash GSM modems which do voice and data - I have the audiovox one which is tri-band, there's one from Enfora which is quad-band... the audiovox one has been shown to work fine, and I imagine the Enfora one is just as easy... they are basically serial devices usign extended Hayes commands.
so, given I rarely if ever need to see Chinese servers, is there a list which I can use to generate a firewall access list and block all outbound access to Chinese servers?
I am running the zaurus version which uses Poky linux as its base, and it looks quite cool. Admittedly, it is a bit of a hack, as it's not fully working, but it's much better than using a desk-bound virtual machine!
aren't some of these usb memory device's read-only switch just an indicator to the OS to not allow writing, so that it's possible for malware to override it?
I recall a recruitment agency whose job search put the SQL into webpage as links for next and previous. Do could change the URL to be "drop table X" instead, and it worked. Yes really. I'm still stunned by that.
I'm sad to say that even people who should know better are lazy with security. A guy a work is a good web designer, and before they hired me as sysadmin, shared the admin with a couple of colleagues, and *seemed* to know what he was doing. Well, not at all. His webapps connect to the database using his own personal login, with dictionary words as passwords, he doesn't set a root password, doesn't put anything into the mysql tables to restrict which hosts/users have access, and thus the system is wide open. His reasoning? Because the DB is behind a firewall it doesn't need any security.
we took away his logins to the DB... but snag is the time it will take to fix his code to ensure it uses a minimally priviledged login.
sigh. so, yes, this/. thread does not surprise me, and I'm sad, people have learned nothing:-(
actually, the lenders don't want to repossess the house, that's more work. just as with credit cards, they want you to pay the interest on the loan forever, so long as you pay and pay and pay, they're happy... the problem comes when the overhyped property market crashes and the asset which backs that loan is sufficiently devalued that their loan money is jeopardized, which makes them look bad, their shares suffer and their CEO doesn't get his big bonus.
indeed, most banks use X25 circuits for inter-site links, and these carrying credit card and other payment data in plain text
X25 is quite an old simple protocol and usually over slow-ish circuits (9600bps) so you could probably tap into it with something as basic as an original palm pilot!
suse10.2 - which has been out for eons - they're now on 10.3 - has had point and click encrypted partition creation... along with trivial creation of s/w raid (raid 0, 1 & 5)... so how come everyone else has taken so long to catch up.
the advanced disk partitioning/formatting tool on suse is a real winner - even my developers (non-linux experts by far) could manage it; I tried ubuntu server only 4 months ago and it truly sucked golf balls through capillary tubes in the disk prep tools.
I don't think hotmail has been on a windows platform for a long time, although they do stuff to hide server fingerprints to make things look like IIS for the sake of publicity. When MS first took over they found they needed lots more servers than the old platform because windows and IIS was comparitively much less efficient.
extortion racket... successfully sues someone...that money goes back to the artists?... any artist received a cheque? RIAA is the recording industry's association, not the artists' association... so, no, they don't damn about the artists so long as they produce some sort of sound that the record companies can turn into product sales.
google for "fractional reserve banking", read a few articles and then tell me that your savings and pensions are safe, or maybe you';d prefer to buy gold or other precious metal first?
whilst I am impressed by the fervour to crack the PSP's security to allow homebrew, wouldn't effort yield results quicker if you started with a more open platform.
wouldn't it be easier to get a Nokia N800 tablet which is "open" out of the box, has a higher res *touch* screen, twin SD card slots (no memory stick shite), and a standard linux development platform? Want games, how about a GP2X? Want a keyboard, how about a Zaurus?
well, hopefully the USA will continue to violate the WTO agreement(s) and thus allow Antigua to continue, or even better, the EU will win a similar right and make it my duty to ignore US copyright!
I wish Google did a similar thing for thunderbird - mail account settings and/or contacts, I am sick and tired of finding that someone's email address is stored on a different computer's address book.
.. because copies exists not only on the CD but also (1) in the digital bitstream being processed by the digital processing in my home cinema amp, (2) another in the sound pressure waves in the air, and (3) a further one in my brain as it listens.
Sometimes I even violate copyright by singing along to a song without having bought a performance license! Even worse, I might sing the song at a different time, thus time-shifting/reproducing it! If I hum it in a public place, that compounds the crime because then it's a public performance.
Since I want to avoid becoming a career copyright-violating criminal, I am moving to Antigua, land of the free, land of RIAA-copyright-free.
Sadly, I wish everything I wrote above was bollocks, but far fetched and silly as it might be, it seems the Recording Ass of America don't see it as such.
they don't have to actually provide the download, they can simply sell you a license:
Copy a friend's CD or DVD, make it legitimate buying a license from Antigua
Want to torrent a DVD and make it legit? Sign up with an Antiguan torrent server, pay the subs and get a legal copy
Antigua is very well connected, it *seems* like a backwater country but their technology is pretty good.
However, their biggest weakness is they are not self sufficient in anything - not even in water - so the US could put pressure on their neighbours to weaken Antigua through trade barriers.

in the UK, bytemark.co.uk get very good ratings for service. I am not a bytemark staff member, but I am a customer!

you can buy consumer hardware and run android on it today.. there's a good summary of what has been done at http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS4262102607.html

debian has the big advantage that you save lots of money not buying cutting edge hardware since it won't work on that :-P

er, that report was FOUR years ago.
gold is nice and dense, ideal for beating people to death, but you do need quite a lot of it for that!!!

yeah, that's rampant inflation for you... time was when a billion was worth a million million, it won't be long before it's only worth a million!
I note too there's been a catastrophic devaluation of binary - 11 in binary is now only worth 3 in decimal! (with apologies to Verity Stob).
