Touche! I was frustrated (this due to the fact that Time Warner fucked me around for a month and still haven't heard back from them to when they will come out and install my cable) so I quickly went through the setup so yes, I may have missed a few minor details. My point was that it was better than defaults for most routers. I too use WPA. Given the fact that BackTrack helped my crack (err. obtain) some WEP keys in my hood to steal (err. borrow) some wireless before I was able to get an internet connection setup, helped buy me some time will I was WOI (with out internet)
I second that notion. I just got my 2Wire router from AT&T, and I was surprised that is was already setup with WEP. (That's why all my neighbors have WEP enabled... DUH they can be that net savvy, at least not all of them), but like the Coward above stated this article is not about wireless. It did have default password, but it also has no user, just a password. And could you guess I think it was either "admin" or "password". The only good thing is that it wasn't a 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 gateway it put it at the end of the spectrum 192.168.1.254. Which doesn't make it any safer, but the javascript would just have to be setup to try all possible router combinations.
My question, if they can distribute a auto-generated WEP key (which is printed on the router case) why not issue and print an auto-generated password as well printed the same way? IMHO that would solve alot of this hijacking going in this fashion.
Your assuming they don't hit them ALL. But you are right in the aspect that it's sort of a crap shoot when it comes to this kind of tech. I expect you have a better answer to stopping these kinds of missile attacks correct? (An invisible force field??) I mean seriously they could spend a shitload of money ***TRYING*** to come up with a solution to a REAL potential problem, OR save a shitload of money and just wait and see if the missles actually hit their targets if and when it happens. It's like wearing a condom as opposed to not wearing one, your odds are just better. Sex is not free (risks / costs), just like freedom.
Agreed. And apparently also light properties have not changed in 1 billion years either, which is amazing to me considering almost everything as we know it exists in some sort of cycle of change/evolution. What's even more particular to me is the fact that we can see 1 billion years ago from some far off star, now as most may see this as some kind of insight to what this star was like so long ago, I for one could only hope to see these far off places in the current time we are in. Unfortunately I don't see this happening, at least with the current technology, guess we can wait 1 billion years to see.
I pretty much agree with you, 10 people seeing something would not make me believe them nor be grounds for spending a bunch of money investigating (perhaps 10 different video clips of the same phenomenon could get me wondering though assuming they weren't doctored). But the above is a bold statement. **IF** there are UFOs, being able to fly millions of light years with technology so advanced, I am 100% sure they could avoid RADAR. I would take it even a step further, maybe they aren't even millions of light years away, perhaps they are in our same galaxy and already avoiding our RADAR on a much larger scale (ie. telescopes/scanners of all kinds)
Perhaps let M$ keep the really simple syndication and have the open source community create a true rich syndication for the masses that will surpass the short comings of RSS. It's known that M$ just takes other peoples creations, patents them, and turns them into something just short of widespread hate right? Is this the final blow to Netscape that M$ is taking a stab at? After all, they did created the first derivative of the RSS, formerly known as RDF.
Yeah it's called spoofing. MACs are easy, as this was one of the things the guy in the article was doing. I myself did the same thing back in college for WiFi in certain buildings. I simple packet sniffing can yield some great things. IP spoofing is likely to be done, but good luck on getting a response from your target, at least with out some other tricky means.
I would have to most certainly agree with you. MGM has more money and more power, but why would they not go about it in the normal way people try to capture domains. Offer a shitload of money to get it back. My suspicion tells me solely for publicity. Why else would they try and arbitrate some lawsuit against someone that would most likely just take the money and purchase another domain for his business. I for one think they should have no say in the matter. Trademark on the movie or not. lets see the timeline here
- 1983 Wargames the movie releases - 1998 wargames.com purchased - 2006 lawsuit filed
Just doesn't add up to me, I can't remember the exact year domains names could be purchased, maybe someone can append to this, but seems to me they had plenty of time to purchase the domain before this guy they are going after. I hope they lose to set some sort or presidence.
In our office we are stuck running SQL 2000 on our desktops (ouch I know). SQL Express, accepts client connections, IT'S A SERVER in every sense of the meaning scaled down or not. Mind you I understand what TFA is getting at. Lets state the real point now, one would have thought this would have been tested on Vista already even prior to Express release. I would imagine it was another one of the M$ could give a shit less, produce products now, fix issues later situations typical in the M$ world.
I think we are all guilty of that one. If you are a developer, there is a good chance you are running one of many server applications for development or testing. How many small companies buy an extra machine just to run the servers they need for dev and testing? Maybe a few but certainly not all. My company I work for is relatively small, but there is certainly enough in our budget to get 1,2 or even more machines for what ever testing we need. Instead, every single developer has a development copy of SQL server installed (I cringe admitting that but it's the truth). Being a M$ shop (yet another cringe, but hey it pays the bills) is not really any different than some *nix development shop. Whether it be MySQL or Apache you have running, technically you are running a server software and running on your desktop, hence my point. People will install servers locally for many reasons, other than testing and development there could be a slue of reasons why, I just can't think of any at the moment, but we all know it's true.
Refining the actual metals (precious or not) aside, I was already under the impressions that destruction or US currency (which melting and refining would be classified under) is already illegal. So what is new here? Just the fact that the metals have reached some threshold? Someone please provide a real answer. Now that they are publicly announcing this, I would think there will be more people attempting it, fine/penalties or not.
Insightful, perhaps not. Estimation or not, by no means are meters = yards... PERIOD that was my point. Nice spin though. If you "estimate" meters and yards on a larger scale, your estimation deviates substantially. Measurements are based on something set by humans, outside the scope of what we know, they mean nothing more.
It really all depends on what types of crust your epicenter and surrounding areas are, along with depth of the epicenter. Crust content surrounding an epicenter can also increase or decrease wave displacement, direction, and force. Giving a maximum distance for initial or secondary waves, can only be estimated based on the recorded seismic history of a given area and the surrounding crust, any estimate are in fact only that. Living in Southern Cali myself, I can tell you, I have felt quakes for 60+ miles, of course they felt like someone walking with lead feet in the house and no damage what so ever, but the fact that it was felt is a good example that they can travel farther.
I didn't read the details of the attack so I don't know if this would solve the problem, but another way is time sensitive key/pin/card authentication in cards like found here
Although this does seem interesting, the first thought that crossed my mind was.... "Great now some Jihadi is going to have the ability to fly and crash a jet without having to be a martyr", of course this won't happen today or tomorrow, but if it can be done it's possible it could happen, especially when these loonies are set in their dilutional mental states.
I believe the law you are referring (Electronic Eavesdropping Law) to only applies to private communications. I can't see the article in question (slashdotted), but if this was a private school there may be some truth to what you say, but in public schools are public places and there is no law against recording in public places.

Or use Firefox or browser with spell check built in to post??? 2.0 spell check flags the misspelling for me.
Speaking of hacking ... I wouldn't mind taking a crack at her box.
"Obviously it wasn't spotted on RADAR"

"can transmit data at a range of up to 100 meters (yards)"
Which on is it?
100 meters = 109.36133 yd
It might not be much at only 100 of them, but there is a difference.

In lue of the good ol' days. What is your city and bank branch? I can just rob you the old fashioned way.

The day will soon come. It already has happened cell phones. Enter disposable laptops. To bad disposable != eco friendly.
