  1. Where did they get the ICC IDS 's? on AT&T Leaks Emails Addresses of 114,000 iPad Users · · Score: 1

    From Daily Tech's description, it sounded like the attacker needed an ICC ID to query an ATT Server for an email address. "Apparently AT&T left a script on their public website, which when handed an ICC-ID would respond back with the email address of the subscriber. " Where did they get 114k ICC IDS 's?

  2. Pay for Quality or Quantity? on CRTC Approves Usage Based Billing In Canada · · Score: 1

    Lets say your provider charges by the Byte, but delivers 100Mbs full duplex bandwidth un-ratelimited.

    How would that compare to a service that was 8Mbs down by 1Mbps up with "unlimited" byte quantities?

    I'd buy the cheapest 100Mbps full duplex per byte service myself...

  8. What about MW4? on Ensemble Studios' Canceled Project Was Halo MMO · · Score: 1

    Halo is sweet, but what about piloting new mechs? It's been years since MS bought Mechwarrior. What's with the same old '04 Mechs that don't even run reliably on Vista. MW4 is 2,000 internet years old. That sucks.

    That's some good info uncadonna. Thanks for that. It's nice to see a factual rather than religious position on the matter. In my opinion there are still legitimate questions regarding the impact of increased solar output on global warming. Especially when it comes to passing laws that will have billions of dollars worth of impact.
