As a previous poster said, close the doors (like the fire system did back in the '80s in my school). It shouldn't be too hard to tie the detectors into the fire alarm system, just basic electronics.
Texting is unlimited if you have it included in your phone plan. Many providers will otherwise double-dip on each SMS (charge both the sender and receiver)
Neither do cartoons. When I was young, two of my favorite cartoons had a whole bunch of people dying (Grendizer and Harlock's french versions), My first FPS was DooM, I played Quake2 and Unreal/UT for countless nights, and still have a thing for a nice deathmatch from time to time.
It doesn't mean I'll go on a rampage and kill people with a chainsaw. People who have problems making the difference between reality and fantasy could also snap by reading a book or any other trigger.
Call me old school, but for most of those videos, pictures would do the job (or a better one)
Looking for a how-to for something? Gimme pictures, you can't print a video (for one). I don;t need nor want to watch a video (often with horrible music) when 5 pictures and 10 lines of text does exactly the same thing.
As many people said, that's not a good security practice. People buying those are ordinary users, not tech-savvy like the/. crowd. So the manufacturer's job is to make sure the first time the device is hooked up it has some kind of minimal security (force the user to change the password for instance)
SO the device should not enable anything else than the ability to login to set it up. Routers had a similar problem couple years ago. They were wide-open (to cut down on customer support costs). It took a while for them to be relativity secure out-of-the-box (except for WPS). Those cameras are not secured by default so it's cheaper for the manufacturer.
So I buy one to let's say monitor my kid, install it, it uses upnp to open a port on my upnp enabled router and Bingo it works. What incentive do I have to go into the config menus? (anyone will be able to access it using the default password as a side effect.)
By default the default password should work only once, to allow you to change it to something secure. But that means more people would have to call tech support, therefore increasing manufacturer's costs...
Yes, in fact I do have a file server here, but an optical drive is useful when you want to watch a DVD without ripping it first. Since a Mac mini is x86, it can run Windows Media Center, MythTV, XBMC, or any other software.
People buying MacBook Airs aren't buying them for heavy crunching, but for portability and battery life, where ARM makes sense. I could see OS X ported to ARM (if they don't already have a port) and software being released as fat/universal binaries, kinda like 68k/ppc under Classic or ppc/x86 under OS X.
They crippled it when they removed the optical drive IMO. It made for a really nice and discreet media center. No, adding an external drive won't do it as it kinda defeats the media center idea...
Xbox, Xbox360, Zune, Surface, all were sold below cost to penetrate (or try to) the market.
Yes they're making money on Windows and Office, but if it weren't for
a) the fact Windows comes with PCs (and they strongarmed OEMs to pay for licenses and/or stop installing other OSes (IBM and OS/2 come to mind), the fact that they hid APIs from competitors, and other tactics,
b) the fact businesses are stuck with Office for compatibility reasons
They probably wouldn't be in business (or at least not that big)
"No, those were bugs, or things the software wasn't designed to worry about. What produced the malware and spam market? MS' laxity in *everything* system security related, maybe?"
It's probably not related to the fact that MS had around 95% market share, that every ISP was configuring IE (since Netscape cost money), and most people didn't bother to pay for the trial AV installed on their store-bought discount computer.
OSX started getting targeted by malware when it gained market share (and now profitable for malware writers). Don't worry, if Linux ever nears 10% market share it *WILL* be targeted too...
Slashdot Mirror
My school had Apple ][ computers (don't remember if they were 2e or 2+), school manager had a 3.
Guess what I learned programming on? (that and my C64)

So sue them for 12 billion dollars like they do for music downloaders. (or is it just for big corporations?)
They're in violating of the DMCA
Wait, they're ISPs so it doesn't apply

Isn't it like what Compaq did with IBM's BIOS?

-Engineers: But it's not secure
-Management: But money...
Probably the way it goes

Depends where the transmitters are. Here If I remove my outside antenna and just use a paper clip in the TV I will still get all the locals.

SDHC cards are not in the same ballpark where speed is a concern
Sure, if you're not using a SSD

With Canadian carrier prices, it's about the same after 2 years...

What do you expect? as long as Harper is in power our rights will slowly go away. Now excuse me, someone's knocking at the door...
I doubt they'll do it for free. It's uncompetitive and the FCC should step in (but won't)
"Why would FTDI have to ensure their driver doesn't break chips that aren't theirs?"
There''s a difference between not testing and breaking stuff.
And you can also run Windows on it (via Bootcamp, Parallels, or both), so you also have access to all Win applications if you want.
