Looks like their back to square one. Nice to see they're not making much progress.
Interesting sentence construction of yours. It parses like "To square one, [it] looks like their [Microsoft's] back".
Learn English, moron.
Burn Karma, burn! Yes, I'm being extremely rude because I KNOW parent is a native speaker. Non-native speakers do not make such silly mistakes. Oh, btw, English is my second language...
After the injunction [to Vodafone] was granted, T-Mobile offered the unlocked phones for €999 ($1473), and these will now be withdrawn from sale [thanks to the overturn]."
You said:
You can (could) buy one for 999 without a contract. During the time the injunction was in place, T-Mobile also unlocked your phone (i.e. removed the SIM-Lock) for free if you bought one with a T-Mobile contract.
So, unless the summary is wrong (would be no surprise), it is incorrect to say they unlocked normal €500-contract phones for free; they only SOLD contract-less on a higher price. This is quite normal in Germany: you (mostly) always have the option of buying cell phones without contract at a higher price (I thought it was required by law -- I was clearly wrong). The big problem is that, according to the summary, they will NOT sell the contract-less €999 anymore.
off-topic: can anyone enlighten me why/. does not accept the Euro symbol unless you type the entity €?
I might (and wantto) be wrong, but all "non-interactive" bluetooth devices I've seen use the same factory-set password, namely "0000". Can anyone explain me why this isn't exploitable?
Why a link to his blog, when all he says is boilerplate comment about the original article. Yeah, I know it's a PDF, but anyway. I believe does not need techniques like Roland's Piquepaile to get hits.
hmm maybe I should watch my back now, considering I have bad-mouthed Bruce Schneier... brb, unplugging my box from the netwoGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAfldsfjadlkfw35r$@#%$ETW#TE%$T
I'd risk there is some effect on the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the water after a microwave-heating/cooling cycle. It should also be compared with boiling water the normal way and them cooling it.
Also don't hope to find anybody speaking another language, be it english, german, french or brazilian (despite the huge community working for Toyota).
mostly because there is no such thing as a "brazilian language":P
Just playing devil's advocate here, but... are screenshots valid proof? Not only the could have been doctored, but in this case it would not even require Photoshop-like tools. Just go to "offending" site, focus on the location bar, type the address and unfocus (do not press enter). Voilá, instant screenshot of DNS trickery.
seriously, why is this not in use? It would make harder to access a bluetooth device without authorization, as it would require physical access...
In my dream bluetooth world, devices would only "pair" when connected with some sort of hermaphrodite interface (and would work wirelessly thereafter). Much like my wifi router: its initial setup was only accessible by its ethernet interfaces. This is the only way to rule out spoofings, man-in-the-middle attacks.
I beg to differ. It does not increase society's wealth, as the total money remains the same. It just increases the seller's wealth. The victim is the buyer, who could not buy tickets at regular price because the seller hoarded it in advance. The seller is a USELESS middleman, a parasite of the trade. He is making money/profit out of zero effort (he doesn't maintain the venue, he doesn't produce the tickets, etc).
Bill Gates should deserve the same treatment (in terms of what is asked) as any other mortal. This "do you know who are you speaking to?" attitude just plainly sucks, and bowing to it is the mark of corrupt governments. If he couldn't produce have the necessary documents to prove his economic stability (maybe his accountant's excel is broken), then he'd have bigger problems. As it turns out, he DID have the said documents, so what we have here is a non-story.
There is no way of preventing someone from taking your harddrive, remount it and then accessing it circumventing whatever "user rights" mechanism the file system has. For example, in an ext3 filesystem, as long as your UID matches the UID of the file, you can access it.
The only way to be sure is encrypting the whole harddrive or encrypting your sensitive infomation. Period.
Thank you, I didn't understand the issue of the.com part at first:)
And actually, I just found out that Brazilian NIC grants/protects accented domains to equivalent non-accented domain holders, which sounds like a fair system to avoid name-rush. Also.br names were only extended to the portuguese accented characters, which does a good job avoiding homoglyph attacks. Nevertheless, I'm yet to see someone using or advertising accented domains.
oh, I'm curious... why the hell are you parking a "hemp" domain?
I am Brazilian and the language I speak (Portuguese, not Spanish) has lots of accented letters, namely á à ã â é ê í ó ô õ ú ü ç. We have no problem dropping the accents in most cases, it RARELY causes ambiguity. For example, consider a supermarket called "pão de açúcar". In the current system, they just registered www.paodeacucar.com.br, and this is good enough. Now, with this new system, how many permutations they will have to register and protect?
Seriously, this is useless. Is just a mechanism for registrars to grab more and more money. As for Chinese and alikes, isn't there some standardized way of romanizing their characters? Some RFC or standard say that the word for "hemp" is "ma1" or something easily typed in a western keyboard? As a matter of fact, how which sequence of keypresses chinese people use to enter this word using IMEI? It could also be used here.
disclaimer: I may be wrong regarding the Chinese, don't blame me if Chinese sounds like an alien language to me:P
I believe this sort of tool is useful for realtime monitoring of net resources utilization. It can assist you giving graphic clues when something goes out of the usual parameters, like DDoS, slashdotments (sp?), router failure, etc. Depending on information being monitored and how it is displayed, it could also be used for long-term decision like buying more hardware or switching software because the current setup is not handling the load.
One nice, but more local example is the "duck" activity monitor (a windowmaker classic): a duck floats by a mass of water. If the water gets to high, it means the memory usage is high; if it has too much bubbles, processor is being hit. No percentages nor text, just a simple graphic.
A place I used to work is now trying to develop something like this: visualizations where you can tell trouble is brewing in a glance. This is useful for them because their services involved a lot of maintenance of third-party networks but having someone dedicated to nanny all systems is "dumb" and error-prone. Their solution consists of multiple screens around the office showing how the systems they are responsible for are behaving.
It happens in my on the Comp Sci lists quite often in my University. My guess is most people read their mail in a "older mail to newer mail" order, and sometimes try to reply a e-mail that has already been replied to.
If only everyone used threaded clients like gmail, which allows you to read in the "older conversation to newer conversation" order and sort of encourages you to reply after reading everything in that thread... but then again, there is always some idiot changing the subject when trying to reply and messing the whole thread.
More on topic, the WTF in this situation is allowing people to send emails freely to what appears to be used originally as an announcement-like list. You should only allow unmoderated sending if you are really going for a discussion list.
well, you could have some sort of release mechanism holding the plane, so that it just releases the plane when all four rockets have ignited. For example, have someone with a trigger mechanism observe the ignition and release the plane as soon as all rockets are on.
Of course, you'd have to build a structure strong enough to support the force of multiple rockets, but that's beyond me. And you'd still have to consider one rocket ending sooner than others. Nothing is perfect.

Yeah, and for some reason that could never happen in other e-mail services. Never!!
If you want failproof privacy, roll your own encryption. Period.why, yes, they start just after carnival and ends when the 13th salary is paid (usually by December, 20th)
good God, this guy is fast! look what he done to the grammar on my previous post! I don't remembert typing it like that!

no no, you'll stop going away!
this is the best explanation on this matter I've seen so far. Bravo!
OMG, so all those people resonating are infringing copyright too!
Does it ever stop?

And I always thought IP meant INTERNET protocol...

Now we can build 25mm bridges to nowhere!! fp?
