While that may *currently* be the largest common plug found in a US household, the feed from the grid will most likely be 150A or 200A. In my house, there's a 30A "dryer" plug, but also a 60A hardwired line to the kitchen -- an electric stove and/or oven really eats power. (water heater is gas, and also heats the house, or there'd be more high amp drops.)
If it's a fusion device that isn't producing radiation, its mass should not be changing. (or more precisely, the mass will change proportional to the energy being created. i.e. microscopic.)
This is complete BS. Sure, if you want to take a $19 Tiger Direct OEM surplus belkin right out of the box, plug it in and walk away, yes, it will suck. (pretty much for any use) But 5 minutes with the setup wizard -- after all, someone has to setup the wifi -- and all that is fixable. Anyone even hinting at needing "industrial" hardware (aka. "enterprise", aka. damned expensive) to host a public hotspot doesn't know jack about running a hotspot -- or is a Cisco/Juniper/etc. vendor. There are hundreds of thousands of shops all over the planet using netgear, linksys, belkin, buffaloe, etc. consumer "crap" for their guest wifi networks; and they work perfectly fine... until a torrenting asshole hops on the network, which is what this guy is trying to fix.
With HIV, a person can be asymptomatic for nearly a decade while spreading the virus. While ebola is assumed to be spread only by contact with infected body fluids from a symptomatic patient, with an incubation period of about 2 weeks.
How long after he left the apartment did the deputy enter? What did he touch, inhale, or eat while in there? Did he have any contact with the patient prior to that?
Right, the "journal"... a f'ing binary log version of syslog. The issue isn't one of enabled or not, but that the systemd init system (and journald is part of it) CONTANS A FUCKING WEB SERVER! What better evidence of bloat do you need?
And why did RedHat "choose" systemd? Because they had very little choice... udev has been eaten by it, and GNOME requires it. Why is everyone else joining them? Because RH is so huge, everyone is now tooling their init support for systemd and dropping the old sysvinit shell scripts, so you become one with this crap or build your own little universe where you have to maintain init scripts for *EVERYTHING* and a mountain of growing systemd removal patches.
(And then in a few years LP will grow bored of systemd and find something else to ruin, leaving yet another steaming pile for others to clean up, rewrite, or hopefully just f'ing abandon.)
Unfortunately, yes they do. Unless you want to switch to BSD, or roll your own distribution -- which now involves resurrecting old init shell scripts, or writing new one, and maintaining them going forward -- you are very likely to be forced to use systemd by the distro or 3rd party apps that deeply integrate systemd.
It isn't a matter of "subshell" -- which gets a copy of the parent process's memory from fork() -- but how functions are exported for use by future shells. For example, your shell (bash) runs less or vi (or python or php...), and from there a shell is started. That's not a subshell, it's a new process; it wasn't created by fork() so it doesn't have a copy of the original bash memory. The logical question is why anyone would need that functionality? In general, no one does, but it does offer some optimization for complex shell environments (read: the idiotic bash_completion BS. That's why bash takes an eon and a half to load.) Yes, my first response was "turn that crap off; nobody uses it anyway."
The "namespace" patch does absolutely NOTHING to address this bug, or security in general. So I now have to name my variable BASH_FUNC_foo() (or some variant.) If inputs aren't validated, the system is still vulnerable.
And everything beyond 2003 has been a bloated pig.
and my definition of not bloated... NT 4.0 Server. Runs perfectly on my (now beyond ancient) dual pentium 200, with 64M (yes, MEG) RAM. Completely booted in under a minute, and there's dozens of services it runs. Through a few tricks, it can be run without a GUI at all. (or "did" as it hasn't been used in a decade.)
UNLICENSED not unregulated. And I'd think this falls squarely under racketeering as the entire point is to force them to buy (at a premium) network access from them.
I find it odd, since every Mariott property I've stayed in over the last decade has provided free wifi. (hell, some even had *wired* networking.)
Because people want to have to lug their enormous carry-on bags through one of those damned things. Or a gaggle of children. If you think an airport is a slow pain in the ass now, just wait until entry and exit are via single file, one at a time, man-traps.
There's a reason they have an 800+ credit score... they pay their debts. If missed payments become a chronic issue, then they won't have such a stellar score anymore. But they still won't have one of these gadgets in their car. (they'd have to fully default and execute a new loan contract to have it penciled in.)
#3 - "ignition interrupter" - that's what every device manufacturer says it does. I don't know how horribly it has to be mis-installed to get it to do something like kill the engine (or worse.)
#5 - it's not "repossession" as the purchaser still has possession of the vehicle. It's simply been rendered inoperable -- as per your contract -- as a not-so-subtle reminder to pay your bill. And the GPS in the gadget tells the repo man exactly where it is when you have legally defaulted. (instead of needing a dozen spotters running all over looking for it.)
But with the mortgage debacle, banks expended a lot of energy (read: money) evicting and repossessing homes that they ultimately couldn't sell -- for the very reason people were defaulting: everybody's penniless. The used car market is the complete opposite. Repo'd cars are easy to sell -- and in many cases are the very source of used cars. Plus, the down payment is usually 50% or more of the actual, documented, value of the car, so defaulting on a loan 5x the value of the car doesn't amount to much. (assuming they can locate the car, and it's not been destroyed.)
Just a guess... fully bling'd soccer mom mini-van, bought years ago when she was employed. But, yeah, she's getting ripped off by having such horrible credit, and likely financial irresponsibility that created that bad credit. When your car has a device that renders it non-startable when you miss a payment, you f'ing make that payment. In a perfect world, these sorts of devices would reduce, or even eliminate, the "risk premium" since it's making repo absolutely trivial -- the car won't start (without defeating the device), and they know exactly where it is.
They aren't talking about lo-jack'ing the car. Then entire point of these "hacks" is to stop the car from starting, not kill the engine going down the freeway, because that's life threatening, law suit inducing, fucking DANGEROUS.
I never said the relay and the solenoid where the same thing. Learn to read. The starter circuit can be interrupted at the relay, the solenoid, or both. The big wire on the starter goes back to the solenoid, and a smaller wire from there to the relay. The starter is pretty easy to find, so that's the logical place to start tracing the system back to where they break it. I wouldn't completely rule out someone putting a second solenoid in there, but it would be silly (and costly) do so.
This isn't an alarm system or anti-theft measure. Those are designed to do things that are a) hard to find, b) hard to remove, and c) take long enough to defeat that you're likely to get caught in the act.
That used to be true; modern automatics have locking torque converters that eliminate the power loss to the transmission once in gear. (it slips just like a clutch would when changing gears.) Also, a lot of autos are "CVT" these days, so there aren't any gears. The issue of not being able to get it into neutral is often the same bug that stuck the throttle -- the shifter is electronic and the computer is ignoring you. In those cases, the "power button" isn't likely to turn the car off, either.
(Which, btw, is why I bitched about the "race car prius" not having a kill switch -- which is mandated in the rules -- in-line to the ECU. I don't give a single s*** what Toyota says -- they're going to tell you to not modify the car at all -- I want a way to physically disconnect power.)
Cheap cars have zero "bling" so few people want them. There are plenty of old-but-reliable, cheap cars out there. However, few people forced into that market understand enough about cars to know what's reliable and what's a rolling pile of soon-to-be-scrap; and if anything happens to their 1000$ heap, a) they don't know how to fix it, or b) have the money to get it fixed.
If they're trying to sell the car, then it's their responsibility to make it as presentable as possible. A car that doesn't start/run is a pile of scrap metal. It might work, or it might not. If you try to sell *me* a car that doesn't start, I'm going to offer scrap price for it or walking away. I'm not rolling dice.
Most after-market antitheft devices are trivial to remove. Those built into the ECU are much harder to defeat. (in a modern VW/Audi/etc. the immobilizer is linked to every piece of electronics in the car. Including the electric window/lock modules.)

Nope. The firewall in that PoS "router" would still have to track all those thousands of connections, which is entirely the issue.

"We at the FBI prefer the term intercepted. Thank you."
And the FBI didn't steal it. One of their group (or an intermediary) was given the box and then didn't send it to whomever they promised they would.

Nice try. /tmp (and /var/tmp) are noexec tmpfs's on my webservers. Surprising how many wp and vb problems that stops.
Liar: person who runs out of gas and then blames the i-didn't-pay-my-bill ignition interrupter for the car dying.
Sorry. You obviously know every fucking thing there is to ever fucking know. I stand corrected, ye of 7 digits.

Because a new car will have a higher resell value when the bank repo's it.
Also, you need a better credit score and a better bank.
