When I began getting interested in wifi and wardriving most of the books I read indicated that usually about 70% of wifi routers were unsecured.
I found typically 40-60% of wifi signals reachable from the road were unencrypted.
Why would I need to connect with mathematics to understand it? That's like saying well we're not sure if botany exists because no one connects with plants...
When we breed do we not start out at one cell then double and double and double? Isn't that a "connection" with mathematics?
The math is there and was there and always will be there. The fact that we understand it doesn't give it being, but rather proves that we are truly special animals in that we can comprehend that which is there.
A rabbit doesn't understand exponents, but is able to breed using them...
Considering the lack of right to free speech and the massive distribution of CCTV in the UK it is not surprising at all that most of them would roll over based solely on a letter from their ISP.
Sad but true.
a first semester CS student with rudimentary knowledge of networking could pick apart the prosecution's arguments.
All you'd have to do is set up a server on one side of the room and two workstations behind a router on the other. Sit someone down behind each computer and have them access a web page on the server. The web page would show the IPs of both workstations as the same IP - hence IP does not identify a unique computer. Then have different people sit down at the exact same computers and read the IP info again. Of course it wouldn't have changed thus proving that an IP can't be linked directly to an individual either.
Basically 5 min of setup would destroy the RIAA's entire case.
Wow this is awesome! Yet another great idea by the political party that brought you: Two endless wars, Failed Katrina Recovery (Great Job Brownie!), a bridge to nowhere, and Torture just to name a few.
Is the new motto for cable news. Considering they are being DESTROYED by the faster and more accurate reporting of various blogs no wonder they are trying to get free content from average people.
but seriously why not start a company that writes worms that eat other worms, etc.? I'd do it but I'm afraid my knowledge of the windows kernel and process hooking isn't up to snuff
what other reason would someone other than Real want to purchase the information except to do no good?
****
What about security teams like metasploit and the like?
There are perfectly reasonable people who are interested in this exploit possibly for the sole purpose of protecting their business or personal computers. Your jump to the conclusion of "anyone wanting this except Real just wants it for criminal uses" is ridiculous to say the least.
I figured that was the case, however I think it would be possible if the IE user was given not a blank page, but a link to directly download the mozilla browser. I think the average user would be willing to upgrade then and there to a new browser in order to: a)see that new video they are trying to watch on youtube or b) get that super deal they are trying to get or c)find the info they are looking for.
For instance my buddy works for the geek squad and says he sees the same people coming in day after day with the same spyware. When asked about why they keep getting the spyware the users reply well I really wanted to watch that video / download that pr0n so i just clicked OK (and got a virus / trojan) I feel that most users would just do it and get it over with, but I do see your point.
until people just stop writing pages to work with internet explorer? I for one would love to see all pages written to be standards compliant ONLY. If IE users try to view my pages they get a nice blank page notifying them that they need to upgrade to mozilla if they want to view this page at all. Imagine a web in which the page coders force MS to play their game instead of the other way around.
Am i just being idealistic to believe that web developers can and should take it upon themselves to influence the market in this way?
As a web developer and an internet junkie if the browser I am using can't view pages I would switch to one that could in a heartbeat. Sure online stores, etc would see backlash from users who may go to a different spot to make their purchase, but in the long term wouldn't it be worth it?
buy dvd recorders they're just called DVD-RWs and we put them in our computers instead of under the tv.
I mean we were presented a choice between set top boxes (~$400) or a DVD-RW (~$60)
Does that mean we're smarter than other countries that do buy these overpriced disk drives?
The only things it monitors is biometrics such as heart rate, etc?
Well then why not add a camera. I mean how will they tell the difference between
raised heart rate and breathing from work exertion compared to that of furious masturbation?
I wouldn't be surprised if they start canning employees for "working" a little too hard wink wink nudge nudge.
Also sounds a little soviet to me....
In soviet russia computer monitor you!
I'd love to get a hold of state secrets then get drunk and run through the streets warning everyone about their imminent demise. Paul Revere was the MAN!
I live in Wisconsin. You ever try to use a CF bulb in 30 degreees or below? The light output is substantially reduced. I hate CF bulbs. They dim when it is cold, they cost 3$ a bulb, they DO contain mercury so if you break one and your kid gets in it they ARE in trouble. I also like the fact that incandescent bulbs make heat. Sure it is a fire hazard at times, but often times it is useful. WTF is my kid going to do w/ her easy bake oven when she can't find a bulb for it that makes heat?
My thoughts exactly I really thought there were laws to prevent employers from discovering non conviction arrests or mere accusations. In fact in states where public access of criminal records is available online they have specific disclaimers on the sites specifically stating that employers may NOT discriminate on the basis of the information found within non-conviction entries.
Basically you have the right to not be discriminated against by your employer for simply being charged with a crime much less merely being arrested.
in the US. Wasn't the RIAA claiming that ISPs "make available" their copyrighted materials via search results? (If i remember correctly that was slapped down in US court or countered via actual legislation) This basically settles the opinion IMO that the RIAA's views on copyright infringement is akin to that of the Chinese government. SCARY!
Now included with your Yahoo search results in China: 10 years hard labor!
sounds like they might have bought into as much of the ps3 hype as the rest of us did and just didn't make enough. Maybe it was an attempt at "shrewd" marketing
IMO everyone loves the wii because for the first time video games made people move and interact with the other players instead of just pressing a button...now dad's really pitching to you...Hell even mom can swing a golf club.
Will the wii bring families closer together? Does it count as quality time?
Well you're right and you're wrong. Some facts about this bill.
1. The bill put forward by Harry Reid as the main bill is the one presented by the republicans and dick cheney...sooo its the bad bill that gives immunity to the telcos and bushco (BAD BILL) 2. The Democrats to defeat the bad bill put forward by Reid must be filibustered BY the democrats OR they need 60 votes to defeat the telecom amendment to that bill.
With an objectivity that gives new meaning to the phrase sub specie aeternitatis, the authors present the aliens' view as a perfectly reasonable act of pre-emptive defense.
