Your SSL connection isn't any safer from snooping - not sure about MitM attacks, but if you're just listening in, do you really need to be a MitM? Care to explain to me how to reliably intercept SSL communication wholesale without a very sophisticated man in the middle attack?
I think I will convince my friend to set up an open WAP in his house, which is about 20 meters from a Starbucks. Then, he can press charges against any iPhone users who walk by. Perhaps, even civil suits! A $30/month connection could make us millionaires! I mean, they were OBVIOUSLY stealing my wi-fi!
Trespassing? There is no physical entry onto somebody else's property happening here. Radio signals are being transmitted. If we are to consider transmitting signals through a couple walls trespassing, then the Wi-fi router's owner is equally guilty.
If 90% of all brick-and-mortar shops treated me like that, I'd avoid walking into them at all costs. Fortunately, most shop owners are at least tolerable.
On the other hand, many people experience a very high level of elitism when attempting to do anything *nix related.
I googled this myself out of curiosity, but could find none.
I was surprised to see, however, that they seem relatively legitimate. They have 8,000 of their own weather monitors, and even the National Weather Service has signed on to use some of Weatherbug's weather tracking data in some fashion.
By putting him on (un)paid leave for a reasonable amount of time, and offering a full severance package if they had to let him go and he turned out innocent.
But if every single person has a PhD, then obviously it doesn't require any special capabilities. The PhD may represent something, but in reality it becomes another useless piece of paper.
For all you cool talk about 'YOUR' time and how you decide to spend 'YOUR' time, screw you! The taxpayers or the parents are paying for your time and they decide how YOU spend that time. When you stop to think that many teachers work twice as many hours as they are paid for, you might change your tone.
Honestly, I've seen many parents who TRY and get their child a multiletter diagnosis, because it leads to (legally required) special treatment in school.
You would be amazed at how hard it is for teachers in some school districts to fail a kid with AD(H)D or others similar "disabilities".
As soon as I clicked submit, I realized I misspoke on the last line. It's not about filtering out idiots, it's about filtering out people who can't play well with others.
I've come to the conclusion that part of the point of college is to prove that you can put up with pointless BS, and that you can work on a team with people you don't like or respect towards a goal in which you see no value. I've found this to be relatively accurate. I have a few years of military experience, but no college degree. I've been hired twice into "degree required" positions because of a combination of my military service record and experience with job-related skills.
I think the basis for this flawed thinking is the false assumption by many people that "if you try/work hard enough, you can achieve anything."
This is false hope, bundled up in a nice bite-size quip. Not everyone can do everything. Some people are better than others at certain things, and even that isn't equal. Statistically, you will find people who seem to be a prodigy at damn near everything, and people who are very nearly useless.
Life isn't fair. We shouldn't try and sugarcoat that any more than absolutely necessary.
You can improve on A* achievement, by moving on to the next higher level of learning.
Unfortunately, the U.S. public school system is designed to keep children locked up until they are 18. Very few school districts even allow for skipping grades or early graduation.

Am I missing something? What significance does the number 17 hold?

Wow, those a real eye-openers. Especially the first link.
Top500 has the actual list. Would have been nice to have this in TFA or TFS.
I'm kinda close. 172.32.16.1
And no, that's not a public address.
Yes, the tier above me is composed of mostly idiots.
How is this a troll?

Except he stated that his ISP has no clue what the problem is, either.

Did you bother to RTFA?
Didn't think so. It's scary what you can do to someone's cell phone.

I strongly disagree. What should be placed above academic achievement in an academic institution?

You remind me of a certain blogger
Have a source for this? I've been looking for data regarding statements like these, it would be very helpful in a few arguments I keep repeating.
If everyone has an "A", then an "A" is no longer as meaningful.
Just like if everyone had a PhD, then PhDs would be meaningless.
As soon as I clicked submit, I realized I misspoke on the last line. It's not about filtering out idiots, it's about filtering out people who can't play well with others.
It's all about filtering out the idiots.
So, an academic institution should value a pleasant personality on the same level as academic achievement?
