My bank fitted all ATM's with translucent green card slots, and a "idle" picture that shows "Do NOT insert card if slot does not match photo". Good luck on hiding your skimmer in something translucent.
You could just 3d print a cash machine and put a small lcd monitor in it and say sorry but your card has been kept please phone this number. Lots of cash machines aren't in banks anymore.
In some of the areas where there were riots and looting. Not in others. And the rioters seem to come from across the social spectrum (the teenage daughter of a millionaire has been arrested, although she has pleaded not guilty)..
Is that champagne looting rather than socialism then, wrt millionaire daughters
Except that this is, by its very nature, a tracking app, otherwise there wouldn't be much point in it.
Of course is a tracking application.
Except that it is meant to track the signal strength to location and nothing else - if so, what do you think the company can do with it other than a coverage map?
Now, IF I could make sure that indeed is tracking only signal/location, I might decide that this is worth participating. One can only hope that a good map of coverage is going to help on medium term... after all I donated (CPU x years) to search for extraterrestrial life (low probability and inconsequential for me), why not keeping my phone powered and the app running for a few weeks?
Good point. I was with the posters on its what they do with the collected data until you pointed out that they should not be tracking anything else. +1(well done - the new category) if I had mod points:)
As a director you can make a genuine nice place to work. Give education opportunities, make a nice organic learning culture, and treat people with respect. Hire those who will support this structure. You spend "visible" dollars on training and gain "invisible" dollars on productivity rates, retention, and expertise. The worker will become more efficient over time. You will slowly spend more visible dollars on cost of living / regular raises and promotions but efficiency will increase until it plateaus. If they earn, they earn. Else, into the woodchopper you go.
I think the problem with this comes with these pesky people called shareholders. The director is not really in charge. The quickest way to make returns for shareholders is by the bean counters cutting back(so no training courses or rises and a few redundancies). The shareholders want a return now and then on to the next company. Shareholders have the least interest in the long term outcome of the company and probably the most sway.
If I found one of these attached to my car I think I'd simply throw it in a box and mail it somewhere. Perhaps to an FBI office on the other side of the country. Let the FBI blindly trace the path it takes through the USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.
Either that or I'd let a dog run around the neighborhood with it.
If I found one of these on my car - I would put it on hackaday for a bit of reverse engineering fun.
Here in Finland we have mooses with GPS, but they usually don't have bluetooth connections. They communicate via EDGE/3G and some mooses still like to use obsolete technology like SMS.
Second, please give me more information about this "grenade like device that will snuff out a fully engulfed house", because I'm sure our chief would like to buy a case or three of them to try out. It would make things a lot easier if all we had to do was lob a grenade into a house instead of humping a bunch of hose.
To get back on subject, this technology doesn't appear to do anything to cool the heated gases down, put out smoldering embers, get rid of smoke or prevent reignition (or backdraft/flashover). Putting the flame out is great, but without adequate ventilation and some means to cool the surroundings, you're not doing too much for the people inside. Everything else will still have to be done the old way.
If there was a 'port facebook' to diaspora function then it might happen.
I dont really know why facebook took off in the first place as there were others around at the time. A mate was on faceparty all the time and I wasnt bothered at the time.
Now I mainly use it to keep up with people abroad and family and people I dont get to see. Hence the critical mass thing.
I always think never say never as yahoo disappeared as a search engine virtually overnight in my mind. I dont even know why I switched to google.
You wouldn't even have to have the teacher do the verification if you just put a cheap IR camera in the classroom that counted warm bodies and alerted when the swipe tally and warm body tally didn't match.
It could mean that the teacher or pupils had "offed" another pupil. I believe offed is the correct nomenclature for killing someone when someone is pretending to be a mafiosa.
Is this like you go into the grocery store and eat a few twinkies and the manager bum rushes you and makes you pay? Or, is this like picking up a discarded paper on the ferry and the guy at the news stand demanding you pay him for it?
The ferry analogy is similar to the kindle and amazon drm:)
In Britain we have minimum wage laws as well, which means that interns have to either be paid the mimimum wage or be paid nothing at all. Incidentally, we do have interns in this country. They are sometimes called Work Experience Boys / Girls.
We also have apprentices which can get paid under minimum wage. I know of one on £2.50 an hour.
I love this "twizzling" with regards to ciphers it makes me smile. It should be a registered word in the cracker's arsenal. There is an interesting idea a register of known industry standard words for each area.
The dude (Ebert, or whatever his real name is) is just playing king-on-a-hill. A hundred years ago, movies weren't considered art. At all. Neither was photography.
The crap he shills has gotten recognition as 'art' and he's just protecting it's turf.
I would mod this up if I had any points. In years to come sentiment and nostalgia, possibly even fragments of the soundtrack of a good experience in a game will inspire an emotion.
I doubt anyone would have put a zx spectrum on their wall when they were new but I am sure somehwere somebody has one in plexiglass (or is that just another of my fantasies).

But will it boot at all from removable disks?
Chances are, if they "secured" hard disk boot in such a way, they made booting from removable media impossible as well...
but will it blend - sorry I had to do that..
I don't know where you live, but here all ATM's are in walls, so unless you print a whole building...
In the UK cash machines are all over the place. In corner stores for example. Stand alone kiosk type things. google kiosk cash machine.

Because the only way to combat stuff like this is through vigilance, and you cannot be vigilant .
I read that as combating through violence - i thought fair enough :)

It's not really even about messaging.
correct - it's about massaging . http://www.kootol.com/Images/US_Pat_11995343_Figure_52.jpg

Not all of use use Scott packs... ours are MSA.

A quick google and I wonder if it's these stat X grenades. Every house should have some. http://www.jhcfirestopbuyamericanmaterials.com/stat-xgrenade.html">

A wrong image perhaps...but now I've got something to replace reciting baseball scores with when I next have to uh cross the finish line second.
or maybe third or fourth if you are joing in with the royals.
made me think of some bondage with THE ;) royal family - Prince Charles and Camilla and handcuffs is just a wrong image.

Proficiency in Latin was still an entry requirement back then.
Well, why not? Don't you people learn Latin in high-schcool any more? When I was a boy, it was compulsory.
But that was so long ago, I no longer know what the Latin is for "get off my lawn". :-)
after googling it and reading to the end of a whole thread this is what some peeps came up with"Abite hortibus meis iuvenci scelerati"
How many typewritten pages or Libraries of Congresses is that?
This is funny not interesting - I should know as I was about to post it :)
Madagascar 4 the wild beast of the lake - a homecoming story.
I'm not sure if radiation makes people delusional.
But let's assume that it does - do you have an explanation for why they have the same delusion?

You gotta know what a crumpet is, to understand Cricket!
I well know what "crumpet" is and what "a crumpet" is, I even know how to play cricket. I still dont "understand cricket".
Its a bit unfair to call it a knockoff of the controller seeing as there is no controller :) but I would prob agree with your general sentiment.
The dude (Ebert, or whatever his real name is) is just playing king-on-a-hill. A hundred years ago, movies weren't considered art. At all. Neither was photography.
