No single government can control it?
I don't know if the 51% attack is really a problem, but what's to stop the us government from mining bit coin! The NSA has plenty of super computing power don't they?;)
Bitcoin is auto taxing too. Miners collect fees from blocks they solve.
Nah, these things have been happening for years. I first encountered something similar about 2.5 years ago when messages from me where being delivered to a contact of one of my Skype contacts.
A lot of them are non-profit Society's with barely enough margins to pay their operating costs. We're talking volunteer boards here. This is particularly true in rural areas where there's no business case to justify big ISPs putting in infrastructure.
Another thing - C-30 defines a telecommunication service provider as *everyone* including individuals who are not principally using it for their own household use. Who's going to reimburse Joe Average for their costs to comply with this legislation if they decide to provide the public with free Internet, ala: linksys?
It also says that no one else met the requirements. If ICANN is in the same boat as everyone else, either everyone isn't on the same page as the NTIA or the NTIA is on the wrong page as everyone else. Sensationalistic headline - perhaps there's some cause for concern about a less transparent organization (like the ITU) replacing ICANN but I don't see how this means ICANN has somehow failed to meet up to "community standards" given that the rest of the global community "failed" too.
Not that I've read the RFP or responses..
Not that it matters - since ICBC has the responsibility of ensuring we have safe drivers, both through their issuance of BC Drivers Licenses and vehicle Insurance.
What really gets me is the lack of transparency and due diligence in informing the public of how they are sharing our information and what technology they are using on our public infrastructures. I would have though the legislation and regulations that govern how public bodies store, utilize and share personal information would require ICBC to inform drivers that ICBC would be providing 'identifying information' to third party agencies/organizations. I don't remember seeing such a statement the last time I renewed my insurance.
I'm not surprised the RCMP took a while to cough up any documentation. They have their compartmentalized units and unique policies from division to division.
As an aside - how about the traffic cameras that have popped up everywhere. Pretty much every major intersection has a wireless or fibre connected camera for live monitoring. Who knows what's attached to that.
For contrast:
B.C. consumers can't sign away class-action right: Canada's highest court ruled Friday that British Columbia consumers can pursue class action lawsuits even after signing contracts that appear to waive that right.
Winlink is just a message transport that can run over packet radio, tcp/ip, etc. It speaks B2F which has been around for a long time and is more open than D-STAR's proprietary codec but more importantly, is not a l2/l3 transport...
just as I've thought:
1) It was intentional.
2) It is his "public" profile.
"zuck"'s wall (supposedly his non public profile page) is open stating the same thing (at least it was last night when I posted).
Yet it wasn't open after el Reg posted an article about this.
Regardless of facebook's shiny new "privacy tools", platform problems that cause privacy settings not to apply to some "friends" will breach a persons privacy anyway. Be it friend lists not applying correctly or wall updates tagged with the wrong fbuid, facebook seems like a platform just waiting to leak.
Mark Zuckerberg For those wondering, I set most of my content on my personal Facebook page to be open so people could see it. I set some of my content to be more private, but I didn't see a need to limit visibility of pics with my friends, family or my teddy bear:)
Or the computer store you bought your copy of Winblows from would happily hand you an Internet Access Kit loaded up with Trumpet, Eudora, Gopher and Spyglass/NCSA on floppy.
Man, those were the days...
I dunno, but I wish I had the funds to setup a rotor. Manually aiming an Arrow II is pretty mundane.
There's a fair bit of flack over the article and I hope it doesn't dissuade any of the project team from hacking on more projects or getting involved with the hobbyist scene. As much as I find it odd they're being paid tribute for doing something many folks, over a wide range of ages, have done before - I'm sure most of us can appreciate how it felt for them to have accomplished this and don't want to put their ISS virginity back in the box.

Why not? Region coded crypto keys...

The correct website for CIPS is cips.ca, not cips.com as linked in the article.

Yes, Adobe Acrobat 1.0 for DOS. iirc
Or, you know... they could go off and pirate some spectrum, like the spectrum xplornet or hughes uses. :)
The wavy band inscribed with zeros and ones represents a flow of information, digital communication and modern media.
I dunno. BIS via Wifi uses an https connection to rim's servers.

Because as most users of the internet he wasnt accurate about the unit.
Is that an African or European Internet?
Yup, I believe it's zuck as well. Same statement, different walls.

Sounds like FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x!

It's pretty awesome to work your first space box!
