Exactly. They already pay numerous companies to do this. (Smartnet warehouses and couriers. Only in RTP or SJC are you likely to ever get anything direct from Cisco -- and the one time Cisco-proper replaced something of mine, it's because the RTP lab had the only one left [cat2926])
If you're going to go to the used market -- esp. for stuff the vendor (Cisco) will no longer support, there are plenty of non-cisco options as well. Bottom-line, YOU are more familiar with Cisco tech, so that's what you're using. But yes, it will be easy for anyone to come along after you that knows Cisco as well. (the same is true of Juniper, Brocade, Fortinet, etc.)
Enjoy your flight(s) to and from Mexico, Malaysia, etc. Very little of Cisco's gear is made in the USA.
But yes, a "retail" market for these things would make it virtually impossible to target anyone. Having to intercept every shipment to Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, etc. would be a major pain in the ass, and their tampering would become very apparent. (by retail, I mean a place where you take it off the shelf yourself. Any mail order, and it's back to the NSA being able to get it before it reaches you.)
That had to be a long time ago. Today, even 'tho the key fits and turns, the electronic security codes won't match. (assuming there is a traditional key.)
That said, my '84 Ford and my sister's '90 Ford had the same ignition key, but different door keys. That's before such electronic security, and when there was a "door" key.
We aren't talking about a theory; we're talking about applying an existing, well defined system to the US. Everyone with any sense (i.e. money to protect) fights tickets in court. The poor can't afford lawyers any more than the ticket(s), so they're already screwed. Those with means, will usually get out of any ticket -- and this cost a good bit of tax payer money (the cop was paid to write that ticket, do all the associated paperwork, and got overtime for sitting in court all day) while netting nothing but "court costs".
Just for comparison, let's take a "12day fine". For someone with 10k income, that's a $328 fine. For someone with 100k income, that's $3280. For the former, who very likely is living at the edge of their means, that's a fine they're unable to pay. For the later, unless they have the money management skill of a doorknob (which is far too common), that fine is merely a pain in the ass -- which their lawyer will get them out of. All such a system will do is drive up lawyer fees!
From the Real World(tm) reality of speeding tickets. They are 99% revenue -- check the revenue for your local LEOs. When I see Wake Co. sheriff deputies under the Globe Rd. bridge at RDU, I *know* they're there for money. (I've known too many deputies and sheriffs, and none of them have a single kind word about speeding tickets... paperwork nightmare -- document every pissy detail because it's going to come up in court months later, and a waste of time in court because everyone fights the damned things. [the overtime pay for being in court is nice, 'tho])
Revenue is the entire point of most traffic tickets. Look at the stats for speeding tickets, or stop light cameras, and it's as bright as a road flare. When someone does something dangerous, or actually does harm, no ticket is ever written -- when I was rear-ended, destroying my car, the idiot soccer mom that did it received no ticket at all. When you rear-end someone sitting at a stop light in rush hour traffic on a five lane highway less than a mile from the trailer park you call home -- i.e. a road you drive every day -- you deserve to go to jail, have your license revoked, and your vehicle taken and destroyed. You've proven you cannot be trusted with a vehicle.
As for the "day scale" for tickets, it won't have much effect on the "rich". The fines will not be the deterrent you might think. And they'll have even less effect on the poor, as this will make their tickets even less. All this will do is skew speed traps towards more expensive cars in an attempt to cash in on the income bias. (which also won't work as I know a great many "not so rich" people driving what were very expensive cars... until you run the VIN -- flood damaged, wrecked/totaled, drug/tax seizure, etc.)
The "cost to make" and the "cost to buy" are not in sync. That extra $3 in RAM will add far more than $3 to the retail price. Manufacturers take every measure possible to shave every penny off the production costs. (one cent over a million units is non-trivial. even more so given the razor thin profit margin.)
DVRs don't have DIMMs in them. They have chips soldered to the board. While the chips are fairly cheap, they aren't free, and manufacturers will charge 10-100x the BOM costs when it reaches retail. Case in point, the $3 difference between a 16G and 32G flash chip in your iDevice (or android toy) results in more than 10x at retail.
I hope you don't either, since you appear to have no clue what makes up "realtime". (hint: it's about the finite predictability of the system, *not* having multiple systems in lock-step synchronization with each other.)
Kerberos specifically allows for a certain amount of clock skew. (seconds, not hours.)
(And yes, I started out in realtime systems. Back when efficient code mattered -- running on a 1MHz CPU with limited RAM/ROM, every instruction matters.)
You are correct that it's SNTP. However, it will work against any NTP server that wasn't configured by a paranoid mongoose. (read: don't point it at pool.ntp.org.)
That said, I run ntpd on my windows machines at work so they listen to the local multicast time server broadcasts. If they were part of a domain, that would take care of it.
For most people (i.e. your "alarm clock"), the propagation delay -- even of a few seconds -- is not important. There are a lot of devices out there implementing "SNTP" where none of that BS is done -- one request, one answer, time set, repeat in a few days.
And this is 99% of the problem: the time-geeks trying to keep every clock in the universe synchronized to the femtosecond. 99.99999% of people have no need for hyper-accurate clock synchronization. These software projects try to be everything to everybody, written by people with a psychotic fascination with precision time keeping. (security isn't necessarily anywhere in their wheelhouse.)
How is it lighter? Because it leaves behind the water usually present in any booze. (and the heavy glass bottle in which it's sold.) That said, who in their right mind wants to drink ("eat") 100% pure ethanol? (or nearly that, since it's bound to some sugar) Most of the enjoyment of alcohol is the flavors the alcohol can extract from things.
As for "camping", a plastic bottle of 100% ethanol, in liquid form, would be a smaller and lighter means of getting the same mass to the top of a mountain. (and it would be FAR more useful, to boot.)
Are you going to pay the $$$$$ for a DVR with 6+ GB of RAM, just for video cache? The original TiVo had 16MB in it. (for the CPU) Sure, the chips are cheap to a consumer wallet, but to a manufacturer $5 worth of chips is a Big F'ing Deal(tm). (remember, this is the industry that stores harddrive firmware on the plater to save the pennies per drive in eeprom costs.)
list of function pointers. That's how everything works already. In the kernel code, you see it explicitly. Elsewhere, the compiler and dynamic loader logic covers all that up.
But, yes, the kernel code can be a swirling mess. Many times the non-obvious complexity is due to compiler issues or a specific need to get the CPU/hardware to do something in a very specific manner. If there aren't a bunch of comments around it in the code, others won't know why something so "obviously stupid" was done. (I've had to fix the same issue in the sparc64 code three times because davem won't include my comments, and every few years forgets.)
Or just add a second user, then the Android Device Manager will forever forget the thing exists. After the near device destruction procedure to fix that crap, non-owner accounts have no access to device manager and as such cannot be erased from a device.
Have you used one without it? Most of the device is unusable. No Play Store === no apps. You'd have to install the apk's locally, or depend on "vendor" stores (samsung, verizon, amazon, etc.)
...to the shitty lack of a file manager to the shitty mountain of built-in [crap]...
So when did Apple start shipping a filesystem explorer? Oh, right, they don't -- you aren't supposed to look at the filesystem. And there are numerous crap-applications Apple installs and constantly updates that I (and others) simply don't care about. They cannot be removed (system app), nor can they be disabled/hidden; the best you can do is put them in a folder sort-of out of sight.
There are plenty of Android APPS that piss me off, too. Like I need every app I've ever installed to wake up and "check in" when ever I turn on my tablet. That's not Google's fault; that's all on the asshats that wrote the apps.
Wrong. Your First Amendment rights cannot be abridged by contract. If you were a black person on that bus at the time of the chanting, and you felt threatened, then you, and only you, have any right what-so-ever to call it "hate speech".
The university may have room to close their frat house, if it is, or is on, university property. The national chapter ("HQ") can revoke their charter. But otherwise, the university has no legal standing to take any punitive actions towards the people in the video. (the volume of stupid demonstrated by the video is plenty. remember, the internet forgets nothing.)
**DING** We have a winner. The university may pull out some clause no one has ever read (that isn't 100% legal to begin with) to justify their actions. How much money (and how many lawyer/judge friends) daddy has will dictate how this finally plays out.
(Yes, they have every legal right to be as racists as they wanna be. Likewise, others have the same right to hate them for it.)
Very few cars have a non-metal frame. What you're looking for is a car without accessible ferrous surfaces, or places to zip-tie things. (note: there's steel in a Morgan; it's not 100% wood.)
Plus, these aren't the type of people I would expect to be rolling around in expensive, exotic "super cars".
Right. Because it was such an amazingly efficient client. (hint: it was just as slow and bloated as many modern clients. And it ran a single torrent per instance.)

Newer SSL standards include a host hint in the client-hello. So, yes, virtual hosts do work with https. (and have for MANY years now.)

Except when Richie Rich hires far better lawyers than you can afford. And he can pay them for years.
