    What, you think it magicks the electricity into motion? What do you think turns the propeller?

    2 to 3 knots? That's not much leeway. Catch a breeze from the rear and you're dirt.

    That's a plane, not an engine. You probably meant to link here, instead.

    You are assuming that the carbon dioxide (what causes the painful suffocation) is being removed. If you cut power to those systems, that won't happen any more - and the CO2 levels will increase and painful deaths will be the result.

    That said I never understood why they take power from life support. That can't be using any significant amount of power.

    You must be thinking of the 'desktop' vmware offerings.

  7. Re:How well does it run on VMs? on Bug Busters! OpenBSD 5.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Those VM tools allow the management system to do things like tell the guest operating system to reboot or shutdown cleanly, and provide an interface for the host to read back what the guest believes is free memory etc.

    While not mandatory, they can be damn useful.

    Since he said "run" I would think he knew that. One doesn't "run" a network socket.

    OK, then i'll argue this way: you require specialist equipment to broadcast this internet. If you have it, you need to understand at least the super basics of how it works.

    If suppliers are not ensuring you do, they are not exercising the due care that they should (yes, i know they are not required to. that's part of the problem)

    No, it's more like walking down the sidewalk and noting how you and your boyfriend really are loud sex partners.

    Lets be proper about this.

    Nobody picked it up off the street, they merely looked at it, and made a record in their journal.

    I don't think you understand how radio works. It's like sound.

    The people they were snooping on weren't intentionally running an open WiFi and had an expectation of privacy.

    Your point about just blocking the IP does stand though. There's no good way around that aside from proxying out from the "tampered" network.

    That won't stop DNS functionality, from looking at this. You can use a proxy (or use SSL) to get around the cleanfeed - you just need to know where you are connecting first (and DNS does that job). Note that cleanfeed works by intercepting your request and examining the URL - well, that can only be done by reading an HTTP packet. Can't do that through SSL, or even by using an open proxy (since the "suspect" IP would not be used, and so wouldn't trigger this whole process).

    So: the lessons are! 1: Use your own resolver, if you can't trust a public one. 2: use SSL you damn idiots, stop letting data fly around cleartext! (this last one is a yell at the people hosting the sites, not you poor users)
