  1. This scares me a bit... on Barcelona Will Be a Big Test For HotSpot 2.0 Wi-Fi Connections · · Score: 1

    FTA: "...when their subscribers walked into the venue with their phones, the phones and access points started an automatic conversation. By the time a user pulled his smartphone from a pocket, the device already had been authenticated to the Wi-Fi network, with full roaming rights, and securely connected."

    I assume the attendees signed up for the event, (and probably some sort or User Agreement) to "allow" this demonstration to happen BUT.

    The idea of a being hijacked by one of these hotspots should give plenty of researchers some material to play with before this comes to the US. Hell, maybe we can just ask the NSA to flip it on for us...

    "The V-Chip gives them sight" ~S.O.A.D., Spiders. Am I the only one that didn't know that the "Office of the Director of National Intelligence" even existed? I guess I know what I'll be reading up on tonite...

  3. Re:wrong two words on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    LOL - Who said a human clicked the button? I am saying, if 2 PM was the agreed-upon (leaked) time, then it is pretty trivial to set up a routine to cron it out at the specified time. A: "Hey this is going down at 2:00 pm, be ready" B: "Just set up the script to trade at 2:00 pm, thanks" Simple.

  4. Re:wrong two words on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    How could you say a leak didn't occur, that ran something like "Blah blah blah, trade at 2 P.M. sharp". Or is that what you are implying?

    Just you wait 'til they find oil.

    ...or WMDs, then BOOM! We already have our first drone on standby in the area. No boots on the ground. 'Murica!

  7. Re:How is this any different? on Reddit Bans Subreddit Dedicated To Finding Navy Yard Shooters · · Score: 1

    Reddit is not people. I gotcha.

    You could have said that first.

    Seems kind of silly to me that *any* method of public dissemination, which could share the EXACT SAME INFORMATION, would be censored. I wish them luck.

  8. Re:How is this any different? on Reddit Bans Subreddit Dedicated To Finding Navy Yard Shooters · · Score: 1

    That was via Twitter... A social media site.

    FOX News, nor Twitter apply either... They are obviously making an open release to the public, for any pertinent information. Or did I misunderstand the Make and Model plus Licence Plate registration info? They are just telling us that THEY are looking, right?

    LOL - I got no beef witchoo, Anon. Just makin' discussion...

    I've been locked up. I hate those motherfuckers, but I also just stay the fuck out of their way. I will leave a point-by-point rebuttal to another user who cares, I got beers to drink.

    They can strip search me all they want, if they like lookin' at balls and assholes, and when the pigs ask, I got their papers. Simple. Stay real, always. Ever vigilant; to be aware is to be alive.

    Bwahaha - you can't be serious...

    This has to be a troll thread.

    We would not be here today if at ANY TIME in the past, we followed the policy you just stated. And there's no way to go back now. Just be happy for your freedoms.

    Peace, love and all that jazz to fellow humans, but leave the shit work to the politicians and spooks that love it. They keep us as comfortable as we are today. I hate some government policies, but after realizing you can't do a damned thing to change the system, just kick back, pop open a cold one and smoke it if you got it, This is America.

  18. One thing... on Google Glass Integration For Cars Is Coming: Neat Idea Or Crazy Town? · · Score: 1

    Even wearing headphones is prohibited in IL (and I expect many other states).

    How would this Glass distraction, in front of your eye at all times, help you be a better driver? As far as I'm concerned this is even worse that texting on the road. It would be a great solution if we were concerned that taking our eyes off the road is the problem. Changing focus and distraction seems to be the issue, and I'm not sure how being bombarded with the location-aware reality overlay that is Google Glass will contribute to a decline in automotive accidents.

  19. Re:Encryption: on Snowden and the Fate of the Internet As a Global Network · · Score: 1

    Why would they have to decrypt when they can just grab the data from the provider... Or better yet, just sniff that pass?

    Unlike the movies, people don't steal cars every 2 blocks to ensure they aren't followed. ...not an international criminal mastermind with 30 years training in stealing cars.

    Right. 30 years of training to bash/coathanger a window, and pop the ignition. More like 10 minutes. Only did it once, to my own vehicle. 10 minutes. I think *you* watch too many movies... Plus you wouldn't do it every 2 blocks. Just every time the Wireless Emergency Alert went off. LOL, that was the post I was responding to.
