If the mall is going to use my equipment for their benefit, I should be warned before entering the premises. I see no mention on TFA about the mall warning its customers about the tracking system , besides looking for the antennas on the walls but those can easily be concealed. Maybe someone can come up with a device that changes IMEIs on the fly creating one man stampedes/mobs
it depends on your situation. IF you have the time, money, skills and patience you could make it work with less compromises. Most of the time you get to a point where all you want is to finish as soon as possible and start getting some profit. For that to happen you need to make some compromises. Maybe you will end up with less profit as you add more "partners" but the load should be less and you wont go crazy or loose your hair trying to figure out how to get the money to finish
The question of who is responsible for this vulnerability is again likely to be the subject of heated debate. In the previous cross browser vulnerability, Internet Explorer was passing crafted URLs to Firefox. In that case, the IE team denied all responsibility, stating that, "It is the responsibility of the receiving (called) application to make sure it can safely process the incoming parameters." If this is the case, then it would be Microsoft rather than Mozilla who find themselves forced to make the next move in remedying the unsafe behaviour.
At least the firefox team is not crossing their arms and shifting the blame back to IE, they are actually doing something to help solve the problem.
Once in a blue moon our legislators actually do work and they came up with a solution to this issue. Instead of installing new equipment they just adjusted the price. It used to be $0.XX 9/10 per litter , now is $0.XX 7/10 per litter (thats XX cents plus some fraction of a cent). So they just reduced the price a few fractions of a cent to compensate.
Not much but at least is something.
IPCOP is a very secure and flexible firewall plus its open source. It runs on all kind of hardware like normal PCs , boards with CF cards , servers. A vanilla installation is full of features like VPN, QoS, IDS, web proxy and by using addons you can add stuff like detailed proxy reports, content filtering, traffic monitoring and a lot more.
You can find it at http://ipcop.org/
Their mailing list is pretty active and full of helpful people.
If you have a spare PC and some network cards give it a try.
Im writing this from the same model they reviewed except my cpu is a T7400 @ 2.16GHZ and I need to say Im impressed. This is my 3rd lasptop (1st-acer travelmate,2nd-compaq evo,3rd-compaq r3000) and is by far the best overall. If you have the money or can get your company to buy one for you, this is a good choice. If you think its too flashy you can get the M90 that its the same hardware but with a Quadro GPU instead of a GF, and its looks serious and enterprisy. I just turn OFF the leds on mine for normal use.
Performance wise, Core2 VT extensions seems to boost performace for VMWare as I have run VISTA and fedora6 at the same time on VMs and nothing lags. I usually have 15 - 20 windows open and response is instantaneous. Using the "Maximum Battery" power profile Im getting almost 3 hours on a 9 cell battery and performance is not that bad.
Dell bundled software is not that bad once you show whos boss. I didnt felt the need to reformat for this one although the default patitioning is a little too much with a service partition, media direct partition, windows partition, recovery partition.
It's like going to a party where you drink and dance by yourself in your living room, and connect to everyone else through headsets, video cameras and HD TVs. No matter how you look at it, the end result is a lame party.
finally a good analogy.
Nothing like playing Duke3d in the University Math computer center, those were real LAN parties. Its many times more fun to play multiplayer when you can physically/verbally assault your enemies..... plus the occasional "let me see where you are hiding" trip to the other teams monitors.
try the following after switching back using the KVM.
echo -n "reconnect" >/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio0/driver
you may need to adjust the path. This works on redhat/fedora
Next time don't buy belkin and dont go thinking windows works. Your KVM is sending garbage and windows don't even care. The cursor will just jump a couple times around and eventually works. I guess sometimes being ignorant/dumb is good.
Maybe that skepticism is there for a reason. Technology developed by the military, universities etc.. is usually focus on security, stability etc... Thats something thats not always true for consumer technology where short development cycles and high profitability drives the technology.
This feels like extortion. If you dont pay up you wont get any bussiness.
I know this shouldnt be but people are dumb and will believe anything. Just wait till we get the "turn-address-bar-green-exploit" and then the fun starts.
Lets just hope that it doesnt go the way of the PS2 and once they get done evading whatever taxes game consoles have over PCs and abandon support for linux. At least this time the hardware is interesting enough to keep people working/hacking the console.
Sometimes is hard for a group of "smart" people to agree on something,I rather have them experiment with a cluster of idiots (available in large quantities,they usually agree on anything as long as is stupid) and have the system do the oposite of what they choose.

+1 for best comment so far
funny how you can use what is generally a bad thing and use it for "good" purposes. Theres always something good to be learned even from the worst.

i remember reading it came from loot
"look loot", "wow loot", "woot", "w00t"
It was a crappy game but it could surely scare you every time Jason jumped in front of you while you were snooping around the cabins rooms.
A couple more features like this one and it will be worth to pay $500.

couldn't find any server compatible with the new version of the client. Anyone has a server running for this new version?

If you really want to see destruction using google earth you should stop by gewar.net
LONG LIVE AO!!!!!

So if we can spoof enough IP's we can get the USA to bomb any country of our choosing.... interesting.
Is there anything else left to DRM?
just wait till someone releases a tool to create the watermarks.
one tester for each developer?? bah, I have around 300 users^Wtesters.....

In my case a quick "I would search in google the problem" is the answer I'm looking for.

The only time it was invisible was when they took the camera out of focus rigth at the end.
