They have the data on HDD is a proprietary format so that it can't be shared or removed from the server. Not sure how secure it really is, but it is definitely a legal grey area, and Hollywood is watching. There are other systems like this from AMX, ReQuest, and others.
As Mr. Smith would say, "You here that? It is the sound of inevitabilty".
Yes, Sony has a car player with a HDD, and auto ripping capability. Model # Sony MEX-1HD

When you are on top of Mt Soledad at the cross, those attennas 1/4 mile to your west are KFMB-TV (ch8), KGTV-TV (ch10), KFMB-DTV (ch55), KGTV-DTV (ch25), KIOZ-FM, KIFM-FM, KYXY-FM, KFMB-FM, to name some of the big guys.
Collectively they have an effective radiated power of several MegaWatts.
Every time I visit there, I see people trying to open their car door with the remote, and then trying to call for help on their cell phone, which doesn't work either. I usually bring my slim jim.
A nice place to visit if you want to be entertained. Oh and the view is nice too.
Sorry to all you conspiracy theory nuts, this happens all the time. The fact that it made the news surely indicates a slow news day. 30 people in a town of millions called a towing company for a lockout, oooooo!
Many keyless entry systems operate around 430MHz. Anytime I transmit on 440MHz while sitting in a parking lot, I set off car alarms and laugh at the people press the crap out of the buttons on their keyless entry systems.
Military over the horizon radar is broadband and around 430-440MHz. Anytime the Navy has a big boat in the area, the 440 repeaters are buzzing with radar noise, and low-end keyless entry systems can fail. Granted that Las Vegas doesn't have a whole lot of Navy vessels nearby, but they do have miltary there.
On the other hand, it's more fun to blame it on Area 51
It's a stupid idea.
First, there is no big technical deal here. They took some off the shelf radio equipment and made a data connection. Whoppie! Hardly a first.
Hogging up 7MHz of bandwidth on an experimental basis can be done by children with Legos.
Second, the "technical achievement" here is dwarfed by the logistical and political one they face by trying to move all other users of this 7MHz of low band within 100s of miles. Not to mention how fragile this link will be, making it unusable for IP telephony, or Xbox Live.
Third, and most important, this is a misappropriation of technology. The only reason they are trying this is because the local carriers are too dam cheap to run a fiber out to the bush. The carrier's simply look at it the short term ROI rather than investing in an infrastructure. That is where the government is supposed to lead the way, and mandate a thing or two.
So instead, precious wireless bandwidth will be wasted on land locked applications.
In 20 years the cost for securing 7MHz of bandwidth, for something that truely requires wireless, will make a $1M investment in fiber look like peanuts, and they will be all scratching their heads wondering why they didn't make the investment earlier.
From a business perspective, monitoring is a service *you* should offer to your customers. Since it is your network, you have the ability to provide a much more effective and accurate monitoring service, and can set the resolution of the service according to your customers needs.
All the problems you describe are because they are operating from the outside.
What that monitoring service is effectively doing is stealing your bandwidth, and selling to your customers.
If you want to get your lawyers involved, send them a C&D since they are affecting your ability to conduct business. personally I would firewall then as the CTO has done, and offer the same service internally.
Maybe in the world of./'ers alot of people use PGP, but in the rest of the business world, they don't. From vendors with AOL acccount, to clients on the road reading mail through a web based mail reader, using PGP is a nice thought, but it remains in the relm of the computer nerd crowd.
I tried to get everyone I know using PGP several years ago, and could not get one single friend or family member to participate. Several humored me and tried, but it ended up being another piece of software I had to support for them.
if I typo the address?
I am concerned that if I were to send a message with an attachment that contains proprietary information, and I mung the email address (which happens alot with me), now that email and attachment will go to Verisign rather than bouncing? How will I know that my message never got there?
I run a company, and my emails may contain information that is legally bound under an NDA with various partners. I'm not sure anyone would apprieciate this information getting lose.
After all the BS I go through to make my company secure, firewalls, SSH only, big ugly passwords, etc., this seems like a huge hole in internet security.
