But how many of those 2.6% have MAC address filtering? No password, but if you try to connect it won't work. You're not encrypted, so your packets can still be sniffed. But if you just want to stop casual users logging on and stealing your bandwidth it's a perfectly acceptable solution.
because it's impossible to to spoof a MAC address isn't it.
Everyone knows that the Royal Family has close links to Torchwood. Perhaps this is a recruitment drive. (count me out, I'll be buggered if I work with Captain Jack)
Absolutely, when Pakistan nukes the west it will be imperative not only to retaliate but to have a massive retaliation, knocking out all population centres. That way the people in other Muslim countries who are not so sure of the evil book will try to restrain the others from doing the same.
No, the main reason why we haven't had a WWIII break out is that there are to MAD capable nuclear inventories in the world.
MAD works well against an enemy who is sane. The problem is if the Muslim terrorists get their hands on nukes (a possibility in Pakistan) then they see it as win-win; destroy the enemy and the whole country gets to go to heaven when they retaliate.
Until I am PROVEN GUILTY of not being one. I don't have to "opt in" for what should be my no-questions-asked constitutional rights.
I would be quite happy if they included all non-Muslims as trusted travellers, we would be just as safe as before they switched their murderous intentions to the West. Of course the PC brigade would never condone extra precautions for the people we know are a greater threat.
Does anybody truly believe this guy believes in a spaghetti god or any supernatural reason to wear a spaghetti strainer on his head?.
He may not, but sometime somewhere someone will. There is a slippery slope from playing at a religion to believing it. You find yourself saying "may the noodly appendage bless me" when nobody is there. Then you start to feel that perhaps if you don't ask for the FSMs blessing things won't go well - nothing supernatural but its some psychological preparation.
Then you start to have ridiculous thoughts that perhaps there is some supernatural being, who has chosen to make himself known to you as the FSM. My friend told me this anyway, and said that at this point he stopped it all just in case he ended up not knowing that the thoughts are ridiculous.
I, like an increasing number of Scots, hope that Scotland leaves the union. I pretty sure the UK government will do all it can using dirty tricks in the divorce process.
One benefit for us English is that we will be able to send our kids to Scottish Universities and pay the same fees as anyone in the rest of Europe .
Oh no! Someone rang your doorbell?! Or asked you to pause ten seconds before a meal??
I actually enjoy the discussions I have had with people coming to my door. The people calling usually don't, they are usually surprisingly unprepared for a real debate. I have actually had Mormons miss out my house when going down my road.
If you want to be anonymous use a fictitious name. OK I am sure governments and police could track you but for 99.999% of users this is sufficient. The others should look at going via tor.
Well retaliation by force does appear to be part of the US strategies to combat hacking. The problem is that it is not always clear who is responsible. for example when Iran was hacked by the stuxnet worm there was speculation that it could have originated in the USA, Germany, Israel, the UK and I even read one suggestion that it was an Australian group.
Even though the USA thinks that a military response is valid I doubt if it would act in a similar situation, and I think it would have condemned any attacks by Iran when they did not know for certain who attacket them in the first place.
Also it is increasingly likely that if the US military or infrastructure is likely to be from a "non national" group, possibly even acting from within the USA. This makes a military response very difficulty.
I think you have hit the nail on the head. Its exactly the same in the UK. If I were a young computer security whizkid I think that a job with GCHQ (rough equivalent to NSA) or MI5 (rough equivalent to CIA) would be prestigious and attractive. But the army... not very prestigious and there's always the possibility that if you upset your CO you end up on the front line in Afghanistan. Now I admire the people who do fight on the front line it would not be my career choice, and I suspect not that of most computer nerds.
Hahaha suck it USAians. Here in Australia the GOVERNMENT has solved this problem and taken it upon itself to replace every single copper pair with gigabit capable fibre into most dwellings and businesses.

Not to me , i was born in 1986.
If I had mod points I'd mod you down. Just for not being a grumpy old git like me.

Wikipedia says it's the French name for China. The Grammar Nazi in me was saddened to hear that.

Ban muslims from air travel, except special one-way flights taking them out of Western countries.

Anyone who defines their personality by the mockery of others is a complete and irredeemable asshole.
Well that covers 90% of tv commedians

3. And the public profile has what information ? your name and gender - as if it's not already publicly available?
GP might have difficulty determining the latter.
It's our fault our government spends more money on lawyers than on astronauts.
Well if it isn't your fault (collectively) then democracy has failed and the government is not acting in accordance with the will of the people.
If you nuke them. The cyber kind of stops.

A vegetable based oil was used (which had a laxative effect on the pilot!).
