I've been noticing similar effects with VZWATT for years. Glad to know its not just me. Also, sending from ATT, VZW friends usually get my texts, but sometimes successive texts in a row get delayed or not delivered until a new outgoing text is sent. Email from the phone is more reliable.
Opening files on a computer is hardly the same as kicking down a door. I'd say a better metaphor for it would be calling the fire department to put out a fire in your meth lab.
I would be surprised if this is the end of it. I'd reason to believe the university knows exactly which port had the IP in question at the designated time. The burden here, I'm assuming, is that UO is unwilling to go the extra length required to determine who was at that port at the time.
If the dorms are anything like mine were, one roommate is on each side of the room, and there's a good chance it not too hard to figure out. Proving this in court, to the extent to base your case on it, is probably not a good idea, since I know we reconfigured our dorm furniture at least a dozen times. Interestingly enough, the desks always stayed in the same basic position, due to the requirement of nearby network and power... Granted I had a router plugged into mine, with at least two PCs running off it at any given time (desktop, server, and the computer I was fixing at the time), so that could have been my defense were it at all necessary in 2000.
Personally I think the university is just following the RIAA's request to the letter, and giving them a big FU to the spirit. They probably could go the extra mile and figure out who the defendants should be, but they probably don't want to bite the hand that pays them.
Good question. Once I remembered seeing it before it took me 10 seconds to get a good link. For some strange reason, I didn't look for the/. article first.
Indeed. I don't like to think that we're above reprimand (I'm sure a lot of people do), however I just know we have too many lawyers NOT to find a way out of this.
"Back then" it was Oregon Trail. One of the few memories I have of third grade at one of the elementary schools (in the former Richmond Unified School District) right before they went bankrupt and we missed a month of school was playing Oregon Trail in the computer lab. Now, I don't recall if these computers were brand new at the time, but we did have to flip the disk over!
Fortunately, my parents saw the mess and moved to the other side of the county a year later, and it was a completely different world.
It looks slightly different with the flip design from most UMPCs I've seen, but its still the same concept right? Built in wifi, CF & PC Card expansion...
Did I miss something on the FlipStart that makes it revolutionary?
The tebibyte is closely related to the terabyte, which can either be an (inaccurate) synonym for tebibyte, or refer to 1012 bytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, depending on context.
That gives small time security experts a platform of anonymity to disclose vulnerabilities to anyone (not just 3com's customers) while retaining the possibility of a reward.

Hope they hold the conference in the right place, or nobody will be able to hear them!

They sued Cisco 3 years ago.
Indeed...
I had the first edition for a class a few years ago (the black book), and it stands out in my mind enough to remember it as informative.
Do you really want popups and spyware in your brain? I think not...
You know you're an addict when....
Strange... You are currently using 363 MB (11%) of your 3111 MB.
Since 09/04 or so.

I'm still baffled why the 360 Halo Edition does not come bundled with the game.
Phase 1: Build WiFi
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
Collisions are fine, as long as they happen randomly...
Its a good thing my Faraday suit has an optional PDA sleeve.

On a more serious note, I don't think marketing materials are covered under fair use, are they?
Isnt this pretty similar to the Ultra Mobile PC idea?

Oops. /. doesnt do <sup>...
240 bytes = 2^40 bytes
1012 bytes = 10^12 bytes
My bad.
From wikipedia:
(a contraction of tera binary byte) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated TiB.
1 tebibyte = 240 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 1,024 gibibytes
The tebibyte is closely related to the terabyte, which can either be an (inaccurate) synonym for tebibyte, or refer to 1012 bytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, depending on context.
Please rephrase your simile. This is
You could report it through a 3rd party like The Zero Day Initiative, a division of 3com's Tipping Point intrusion prevention service.
