Almost certainly, yes. Put the key in off the license sticker on your PC, not the one that Windows has been installed with from the OEM (which will be the same key for all the PCs they sell).
The US model of the iPhone 5s/5c doesn't support band 7, which is technically used in the UK by EE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
I live in the UK and to be honest I wouldn't bother at all with 4G. It's only available in some city centres and practically speaking (i.e. for using on a phone) it's not really better than H+.
As noted in this report, Technological Protection Measures (TPMs) (i.e. CSS) are still protected:
"Consistent with the approach taken in relation to other exceptions, no reference
to TPMs is made within draft Section 28B. Effective TPMs which prevent copying
of copyright materials will however continue to be protected, separately to
copyright protection, under Section 296ZA CDPA, and circumvention of such
measures will continue to be prohibited."
I think you may have misinterpreted how the device works.
Certainly with the FIPS device I use, there are 6 factory programmed 256 bit encryption keys stored in the device. All the pin code does is unlock the factory code that is currently in use in the encryption hardware. The encryption keys are not derived in any way from the pin code.
If you get the pin wrong 10 times then one of the encryption keys is erased and you move onto the next one. Once 6 have been erased, the device is permanently useless. This all happens well before any attempt to access the data via sata or any other means.
I've been using one of these at work for a while, which looks to be pretty much the same thing as the article, except the storage is smaller. The article reads like the new drive is revolutionary!
Why do people think this is anything other than a publicity stunt to generate internet-chatter and pimp their name about a bit?
The details of the challenge are almost certainly irrelevant - anyone can apply for GCHQ jobs directly with them, without having to complete a challenge.
The more their name is banded around forums and sites like slashdot the better, as they'll get more people applying for their jobs, which can only be good for them.
You have to show your passport anyway, so obviously from that point on they know exactly who you are anyway. No-one seems to be up in arms about that, so what's the problem with facial recognition scanners?
I wouldn't be in any doubt that the Chinese would decide that it's illegal. You can't really just call it "Connecting to your home computer from China" when the only reason you're doing that is to circumvent their filter. It'd be a pretty feeble defence!
Is asking a question on how to circumvent the Chinese filtering system really appropriate? It's highly illegal, and you've been pretty blatent about what you want to do and that you don't care.
I'm surprised the question made it to the front page.
They don't check anything. I'm constantly requesting copies of birth certificates (genealogy) and I've never been asked anything. Just find the person whose certificate you're after, look them up in the BMD indexes and bingo bango, one officially approved birth certificate arrives in the post a week or so later.
My point was more that the cloned chips are using ripped off code with no guarantee that it's not been hacked about and will work properly. 9 times out of 10 the cloned chips will probably work fine. I'm just making people aware that the cheap ones do contain code that's been ripped off from another manufacturer and sold on for profit.
People can make up their own mind then as to what they want to do.
I've looked into this a fair amount and one thing I will say is beware of fake ELM ICs.
The ELM327 IC is what the vast majority of these scanners will be based on. The ones at www.scantool.net will use genuine ELM ICs, but the ones like this one and this one will almost certainly use non-genuine ELM ICs.
The ELM327 chip is just a PIC with some custom firmware on it. A few years ago someone managed to get the firmware off one of these PICs and since then the fake ones have really taken off. Whereas the genuine ELMs have frequent updates, the fake ones obviously don't.
I've had an @googlemail.co.uk address for a long while, and if you sent mail to youraddress@gmail.com instead of youraddress@googlemail.co.uk you always ended up receiving the mail fine.
The only difference for UK people wishing to 'convert' their email address to @gmail.com is what's displayed on the gmail.com site when you log in.
Rumpus: When you say “click on somebody’s profile,” you mean you save our viewing history?
Employee: That’s right. How do you think we know who your best friends are? But that’s public knowledge; we’ve explicitly stated that we record that. If you look in your type-ahead search, and you press “A,” or just one letter, a list of your best friends shows up. It’s no longer organized alphabetically, but by the person you interact with most, your “best friends,” or at least those whom we have concluded you are best friends with.
This is rubbish, isn't it?
I've just typed "a" into the search box and it comes up with an alphabetical list of contacts. The first one happens to be someone whos profile I don't think I've ever clicked on.

Not really...
I have something similar and as you would expect, the encryption key is wiped after 10 PIN attempts, rendering the data useless.

Can we please have one discussion regarding Google without somebody chiming in with the "Don't Be Evil" thing?

A linux build is available here. It's an firefox addon file (xpi). I have it up and running on Ubuntu fine. You'll need libpcap installed obviously.
You need to make sure you run firesheep-backend --fix-permissions as root manually before it'll work. You'll find this in Firefox's plugins directory.
All info taken from here.
Standard passenger airports in the UK have used birds of prey for this purpose for decades...
I'm sure the same is probably true for airports all over the world.

Yes, it's an offence to be unable to produce it, but you have 7 days to do so at a police station of your choice. See the Road Traffic Act.
Yeah mine does the same.

Not necessarily. There are a number of protocol that may be used, CAN is just one of them. See here for a list.

Hill starts are a large part of a UK driving test. If you roll back at all you'll fail. That's what the handbrake is for.
You'll agree that it does somewhat reduce the impact of the sensational headline though.
Fair enough - no hint that the highlighted friends are based on profile views though.
Plus TFA is still fundamentally inaccurate, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the search box. Wonder where that info came from?
The default password only worked from the Facebook office on the Facebook ISP.
