Ok, so these guys "cracked" the system by finding the name of a person,
got a fake id, went there, took a picture and walked in.
sidenote:
all them kids in the clubs must be great crackers.. I see them "cracked" and "bypassed physical security" all the time.. oh wait.. this is slashdot.. no one goes to clubs here..
then they disect the card that were given to them to find out that they have RFID chips but no one seems to know what it does... Wait.. how's this different than any other place that asks for your information.. like Police and Lawyers Love E-ZPass?
Although based in North Carolina, Virginia is asserting jurisdiction over
Jaynes because he sent messages through computers located in the state.
Roughly 50 percent of the world's Internet traffic passes through Virginia,
home to big Internet companies like Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE:TWX - news) American
Online unit and MCI (Other OTC:WCOEQ - news).
I like this new so called 'state' law.
Prosecutor: Your spam is illegal. You'll be prosecuted in all 50 states and
more on different state crimes since your email traveled through all 50 states.
Hmm.. on second thought.. this might not be such a good thing for people
who actually send emails.
Prosecutor: Your email allows us to prosecute u at least 50 times minimum.
The laws make it a criminal offence to send e-mails or text messages unless the recipient has agreed in advance to accept them.
IANAL the article is not clear on whether they're going to prosecute
the companies or the spammers working for a company?
If they are going to prosecute the companies then i would imagine
someone's going to do a fake spam to frame their competitor.
with the current way of distributing spam via viruses and zombies this seems
like a great law to use to annoy your competitor.
Kermit is an extensible file transfer protocol first developed at Columbia
University in New York City in 1981 for transferring text and binary files
without errors between diverse types of computers over potentially hostile communication
links, and it is a suite of communications software programs from the
Kermit Project at Columbia University. The Kermit protocol
and software are named after Kermit the Frog, star of the television series,
The Muppet Show; the name Kermit is used by permission of Henson Associates,
Inc.
Over the years, the Kermit Project has grown into a worldwide cooperative
nonprofit software development effort, headquartered at and coordinated from
Columbia University. The Kermit Project is dedicated
to production of cross-platform, long-lasting, standards-conformant, interoperable
communications software, and is actively engaged in the standards
process.
Since its inception in 1981, the Kermit protocol has developed into
a sophisticated and powerful transport-independent tool for file transfer and
management, incorporating, among other things:
KERMIT PROTOCOL
The feature that distinguishes Kermit protocol from most others is its
wide range of settings to allow adaptation to any kind of connection between
any two kinds of computers. Most other protocols are designed to work only
on certain kinds or qualities of connections, and/or between certain kinds of
computers, and therefore work poorly (or not at all) elsewhere and
offer few if any methods to adapt to unplanned-for situations. Kermit, on the
other hand, allows you to achieve successful file transfer and the highest
possible performance on any given connection.
Unlike FTP or X-, Y-, and ZMODEM (the other protocols with which Kermit is most
often compared) Kermit protocol does not assume or require:
a connection that is transparent to control characters;
an 8-bit connection;
a clean connection;
big buffers all along the communication path;
physical-link-layer flow control.
(although Kermit does not require any of these conditions, it can take
advantage of them when they are available).
A feature article on Kermit protocol by Tim Kientzle
in the February 1996 issue of
Dr. Dobb's Journal noted that "Kermit's
windowing approach is faster than protocols such as XModem and YModem
. . . What many people don't realize is that under less-than-ideal conditions,
Kermit's windowing approach is significantly faster than ZModem, a protocol
with a well-deserved reputation for fast transfers over good-quality lines."
Thus Kermit transfers work "out of the box" almost every time.
Looks like the banks realize their "investment in SCO is passive, made to hedge an economic exposure resulting from client transactions."
"The court gave SCO 30 days to provide IBM with information and source code to prove its allegations. SCO, the ruling stated, must give IBM "all source code and other material in Linux... to which [SCO] has rights; and the nature of plaintiff's rights."
Take a dump or get off the pot!
There are programs out there specifically designed to identify the codec.
Not to make a plug but I use a program called G Spot. It tells you what codec is need and where on your system is the codec supposed to be.
YMMV if you're a on non windows system.
Try to not mod me down for using windows.
Any camera will be fine. It's just a lightproof box. There's 3 things that are important in taking a picture. In fact.. these 3 things make the picture. Aperture/Shutter/and Time. All a camera does is regulate those things to get what you want. Then the lens can "see" the world. So if you want a "good" picture learn the basics then get some good lens to collect some light.

I would have thought that the power lines themselves would generate much more interference than the data lines.
not much comparison when you start comparing your security to windows security.

But each spam sent can be tried a different crime ..
