Criminal or not, I do believe that the evidence is insufficient and that it wasn't exactly recovered in a legal way. If anyone got arrested over this (Other than the hacker), I'd be extremely surprised and disappointed.
Although it would be very nice if they could use the evidence, they can't.
Whatever the driver is exposing to the network, the card itself can't usually have its MAC address written over(i.e. once power is cycled, that card's returning to original shipped condition). I'm positive there are exceptions to this, but they're probably rare.
Just so you know. There are loads of 3Com-cards that you can permanently change the mac address of. I have one with an address of 42:42:42:42:42:42, another one with 00:DE:AD:BE:EF:00.
You can change that together with the rest of the card settings with a program running in dos-mode (3c5x9cfg.exe, get it from 3com.com). It's saved in eeprom or something like that. Very nice cards:)
However, you can tell the OS to report a different MAC. That's what "changing your MAC" means, it doesn't actually change the MAC on the card, but it changes what the OS reports.
Strange thing that. I have a load of 3Com 3C509-cards (Lovely cards) that I can change the MAC-address of permanently. And I know they're not the only ones.
450 and 900 MHz was used (And still is to *some* extent) in northern Europe. There still are some NMT-phones in use in Norway, but I believe the 900-network will be closed sometime 2003 (The 450-band network was closed a few years ago).
There are a lot of differences between countries in Europe. Ireland sucks when it comes to internet infrastructure (There's barely broadband available) and the phone system sucks (I'm on a multiplexed line, so I get 16.200bps dialup). And there is no such thing as 'uncapped' or 'flat rate'.
Compare that to Norway where flat-rate, uncapped broadband has been widely available quite a few years, with a VDSL test-project the last year. Or Sweden, where "Bredbandsbolaget" (Dunno if I wrote that correctly) can deliver 10mbps-lines to normal people.
A few telecom companies are confused about internet. The Norwegian "Telenor" started building a *good* infrastructure back in the '70s. Ireland OTOH seems to have a hodgepodge of systems that won't quite work, or works slowly.
There are compelling reasons to use assembler in various situations.
Granted, you wouldn't write a word processing suite in assembler, but for graphic routines, graphics libraries, maths and 3D processing and similar tasks that use much processing power.
Take a look at programs like dnetc @ distributed.net. I wonder why it's not programmed in Visual Basic, but actually in assembler (The core, atleast). I'd like to see dnetc and seti@home programmed in a high-level language, and still be efficient.
There is a nice map (pdf though) with quite a few of the cameras here.
I seem to remember a project to find the path through the city with the least cameras... Wasn't that NYC? I'm pretty sure it was at slashdot, but I can't find it.
Actually, it's Økokrim (The first letter is a O with a slash through it, usually written like Ø ; in html). They are a unit dedicated to fighting amongst other Computer crime, environmental crime and Economic crime. This might have something to do with the generic police having no clue whatsoever about PC's:)
Now, if you've ever been to Norwegian universities, you'll know that they offer their students 100mbps full duplex internet access. That's easily 6+Mbyte per second:)
Considering the amount of bandwidth generated by my two scsi-disks (Which I easily get 80MB/sec from) for outgoing ftp while watching two towers trailer fullscreen streamed from apple.com, I'm running low on free bandwidth on the PCI-bus.
(Btw, I no longer have sig11, thanks!:) (p200 without MMX, no-hlt)
Here in europe (Well, atleast in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France) we have the Gigaset 4170 ISDN (Or the 3070 ISDN) which you can connect to your PC with a USB cable and edit the phonebook, set up ring allocation, surf, etc:)
It's extremely handy, especially when you're too lazy to type in all the phone-numbers and names by hand on a tiny handset, and rather feel like synchronizing it with outlook instead!
You wouldn't need to/sterilize/ a PDA to use it in an examination room. It's not like the dear doc is going to check his mail and play quake while doing a heart transplant:) (Or for the sake of it, he's not gonna poke the patients innards with the PDA either)
My doctor has always had a desktop PC in the examination room, and I doubt that *that* is any easier to sterilize. It didn't stop him though, and I do believe it was there with no apparent danger to my life.
It can use 802.11b, GSM 900/1800, GPRS, Bluetooth, HSCSD and HomeRF. It's got a 8.4" TFT touchscreen (800x600 with 65535 colors), has serial, IrDA, smartcard and pccard interfaces.
It's not the effect of the bomb that they are proud of. It's not the state of the land that they're proud of.
What they are proud of is the patriotic effort that was made, the sacrifices. It's part of keeping track of the history of that particular state. Noone wants to be history-less, even though the history might not be all about greatness and cheerfulness. Remember, history is a way to avoid making the same mistake over and over and over (ad nauseam) again.
The plate should contain what people actually associate with the bomb. Nobody
would think of a nuclear device if you created a rushing fire-storm, both flash and radiation burns, sickness, and cancer' (which would be nearly impossible to depict on a licence plate anyways).
You might not have been infiltrated by radiation, but you have been infiltrated by ignorance, which I personally think is worse.
As a side-note. I'm not from Nevada. I'm not even from the states. I don't think highly of the nuclear devices. I don't even think highly of the states (There goes my karma). But one thing I care about, is that people are allowed to express themselves freely, without ignorant idiots preaching their "truth", which is clearly superior to others'.
Ok... for all those who have read this article, please take the time to read it again. Take note of the "Epsilon Omega City, 2025 AD. Photographer: Jörgen Städje" at the beginning, and please also note the damn title of the page: "Jorgen Stadje, nonsens page: The case of the exploding CD-ROM"
I'm not complaining about the kernel development itself. I'm complaining about this actually making a 'headline' on slashdot. It's a development kernel, and they are not exactly rare. IMHO it's a waste of space (That could be used to post my stories about my non-existing wireless cat, or something like that).
Point being, if kernel development goes back to the speed it had on the 2.1 or 2.3 trees, slashdot will be virtually flooded by kernel announcements. I can see the point if the kernel has a ground-breaking new feature that everyone and his dog has been waiting for, or a fix for some life-threatening filesystem-corrupting bug. But when it's "tweaks" and support for some or other hardware, I find it irrelevant, and redundant. There are other sources more accurate than slashdot if you really feel like staying on that bleeding edge.
Major improvements include readahead cache tweaks and support for hot-swap PCI on certain IBM machines.
Now *that* is important. When the biggest improvements are tweaks and support for hardware on 'certain' machines. Jeez...

Newer Siemens DECT phones use standard AA NiMH-batteries. (Newer, as in Siemens Gigaset 4000)
1337 old-timer indeed :-D
/. for so long without registering :-\
Now only if I hadn't read
If you're behind a proxy, don't even bother downloading Phoenix. It doesn't have *any* proxy settings whatsoever.
Think I'll stick with Opera still.
Very fast data compared with GPRS (CDMAx1=144Kb/s theoretical vs GPRS=40.2Kb/s)
GPRS Class 8 is 57,6kbps.
GPRS Class 32 is 172,2kbps, which is a bit higher than CDMAx1.
or if you're lucky, HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) at 42.0Kb/s (mostly in Europe).
Again, HSCSD is a bit faster than that. You can achieve up to 56kbps without major problems.

It's simple! Just use a semi-intelligent program to generate random opcodes, and see which ones compile, and which ones actually run!
Joke aside, what about checking Intel's pages? I seem to remember there were quite a few documents there on assembly programming...
Does anyone know if the product in this sudden free advertisement can use linuxbios? In that case, I can actually use a couple of them :P
