The Germans bombed Perl Harbour?
Is that where are the Perl devs live? And when was this?
Winners do quit. All of them. That's the one certainty we have in life. One day we quit.
Build an internal Wiki. You won't be free from questions since you can 't cover everything in a one day training session. I'd make that two half days with a month or so in between.
It just takes a little while on any CDMA network to sniff a valid ESN and clone that. Of course, you 'd want to sniff in one part of the country and use the ESN in another part. As long as the ESN's don't show up on the same cell, there's no problem. If they show on the same cell, one of them gets kicked off...
No it won't. When a cell phone is bricked, it becomes useless. You confuse operator block with anti-theft block. The first can be undone, the second one can't.
In Europe, the system of bricking a stolen phone has been abandoned many years ago.
The reason is not commercial, it's purely technical. To trace a stolen phone, the IMEI number is used. But since the IMEI can be easily changed, you risk bricking someone else's phone. That happened years ago to some 6.000 phones which had the same IMEI, cloned from a Danish phone. When the Danish phone got stolen, the Danish operator bricked it, resulting in 6.000 Spanish phones no longer operating. And since you can't undo it, they had to be replaced. The one responsible for cloning 6.000 phones with identical IMEI numbers was a Dutch phone trader.
Anyways, there is no problem with cell phone theft over here, except people declaring their lost or broken phone stolen, just to get insurance to pay for it...
The article is wrong about power too. First it states "SuperSpeed USB is optimized for power efficiency. It uses only 1.5 amps of power for charging devices, or about one-third of the power of its predecessor Hi-Speed USB (v2.0).", and in the following paragraph just the opposite ""We also deliver more power for faster charging". USB3 is 1.5 amps, or THREE TiMES the 0.5 amps of USB2. Real shoddy journalism. Or is that paid for propaganda?
Why don't you just delete diginotar and comodo certs yourself?
I mean, it's a trust relationship. If you, the user, no longer trust a notar, just delete it's certificate and find out which of your SSL connections no longer works or defaults to an unsecured connection.
You can find and delete certificates in the prefs of some browsers. On OSX, it's the Keychain Util, of course.
Comodo also lied about it. They painted a sophisticated attack from Iran. Now we know that the "hacker" was a Turkish script kiddy who's still bragging about it...
That's the scary part: the intruder wasn't even any good. He's just an absolute beginner who follows "How To?" hacking vids on YouTube.
And what happened to the lying Comodo CEO? Right, he's chosen as CEO of the year by RSA's InfoSecurity's 2011 Global Excellence Awards...
If you want to know how bad the problem is, how little is being done by the CA's and a possible, available solution if you use Firefox, have a look at Moxy Marlinspike's vids on YouTube...
The rights of the American people are eroding at an alarming rate. It's not new, it has happened before, so we have to conclude that history doesn't really teach us anything.
I remember some of those industrial robots being replaced by cheap R/C toys with consumer level cams taped onto them. Those died too, but were a lot cheaper to replace.

Nope, it's not because it's about technical stuff. I run a number of sites about things as general as food and see exactly the same thing. Plus, I also see people arriving on pages with the wrong search terms. It's impossible to check if the visitors are on the right page and Bing just reports an erroneous search, or if the visitors were looking for something else. And when you check some of the incoming links from Bing, the site doesn't even appear on the list a couple of days later. Stuff like that happens to Google too, but only very seldom.

Only one dl link (Ibibilio) still works...
Seems to be abandoned, bur it's still interesting, as it provides a boor floppy with network support, wich opens a zillion other possibilities.
The comments here have shown me one thing: it's all in the mind of the buyer.
Cars like this don't turn over on a roundabout, neither will they be blown away by the wind. But they won't sell, cause customers (at least in the US) seem to have a different mindset. Most of the commenters seem to want a heavy, typical American concept which consumes a lot, of course.
Now maybe it's a hoax, maybe not. But they'd better look at Euro, Asian and African markets for a concept like this. Over here, we've had a number of electric vehicles on the road since 20 yrs. or so. Most of them based on existing small cars. Most of these projects were fairly succes full given their niche market, because people don't mind driving a really small car.
Tata (India) will be present in the US market real soon. First with a small car with a classic engine, later on with an air powered car. They have the size, money and production facilities to make this work. Others are coming too. But will they be able to change US' customers mindset?

I've got a 10 year old G4, 400 MHz, 768 MB RAM, 20 GB HD, running OSX 10.4.11, with IDE, USB, Firewire and SCSI. It's got a weird bunch of disk drives attached: CD/DVD, DVD-RAM, Syquest, Bernouilli, MO, Zip. Both tapes have died a couple of years ago and since I rarely used those anyway, I haven't replaced them. It has no floppy, tho;-)
I use it for data transfer and recovery whenever one of my clients comes up with old stuff from their archives. All the hardware is old. The Syquests are approximately 12 years old. But the recovery software is the latest version.

We already have that. In some places, you can be fined for loud music from your car...

TPB hasn't been "down" today more than any other day. I run a monitor on it and it shows some "down" time every day. "Down" just means awfully slow...

That 'll get you nowhere, considering Amsterdam isn't in Danmark...

A hydra doesn't die. It just keeps replicating itself. It also doesn't age, or very, very slowly. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(genus)
