I intend to. Like I said we have already managed to get everyone involved with the coup voted out. So the local elections are doing well but the state elections required for something to be done with orginsations like the fop will take some doing. That would require the rest of the state to recognize there is a problem & considering the current state of medicare expansion in Oklahoma that may take a while...
Some of our elected officials changed some laws to remove our elected police chiefs power and appointed someone else in his place.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has since decided that it was all ok and legal. So thats screwed too. Just because it happens to be legal doesn't make it right.
Even though the chief of police is elected he is not able to fire problem officers due to the strength of the FOP police union.
So even though we have voted out everyone involved in the above incident problems persist..
My comment was directed at the AC going on about people supporting their elected officials. When some elected officials can revoke other elected officials power without going through the proper channels something is terribly wrong.
Would it be ok with you if congress got upset with how the president of the United States was handling things and modified the constitution so they could appoint someone of their choosing to handle his duties instead starting a recall?
I had one working right thanks to earlz a year ago but after that one burned out the new one has the new firmware and I've been unable to find a copy of the old firmware online anywhere. If you happen to run across it please post a link.
Yep AT&T fixed the security vulnerability but couldn't be arsed to set the no cache flag on the redirect page.
I can buy a modem from At&t and when that one burns out I will have to buy or rent another one just like it because while att has no rule that I can't use another companies modem they use a proprietary authentication method for their adsl2+
So I am stuck with a single choice for a modem the NVG510. No other options are available that I am aware of other than switching isp's
Would that be covered by warranty? Afaik the standard failure mode RTC (aka return to china where the drone takes off at top speed in the direction of china) is not covered.
Prosecuted? Somebody's probably going to get an award for thinking ahead. They had their kit backdoored before the government even made it a requirement! Whats good for the goose is good for the gander and all that.
Thats good it sounds like most of it wouldn't degrade much in storage. Anyone who has ever delt with trailer house tires should know what I was talking about still looks brand new but breaks as soon as you try to use it.
Sorry I thought they were suggesting to encrypt the plane's transponder broadcast in such case they would need to give the key to everyone at atc and everyone with a plane to keep the system functional. Otherwise your back to the equivalent of switching those systems off because if the people who actually need that information can't read it because its encrypted it might as well just be shut off.
There should definitely be some type of authentication/verification and I am sure they will get around to adding it eventually like the iphone and copy paste functionality. Should have been there from the start.
Yes a cell phone has both better security and quality than the am radios in use today however you're really not supposed to use one in flight...And it really doesn't help much on the tracking aspect.
Well iirc flightaware still shows approximate locations for flights without ADS-B. ADS-B just allows for more accurate tracking I seem to recall a pretty good story about some planespotters noticing some seekrit cia flights back in 2000 before the advent of ADS-B
Also planes are rather large and can typically be seen from the ground unlike computers which only have to mask digital signatures. Planes are are registered and have great big letters painted on the side of them that uniquely identify the plane. Computers don't...Yet.
But the biggest problem is that the system was designed from the ground up for safety not privacy the reason being so the fire trucks can beat you to the scene of the crash.
Yes some of the data is probably unnecessary for safety like the plane's call sign you could probably get by with a randomised plane id without compromising on safety but location and speed are pretty important for not crashing.
Something that does still irk me is that I happen to have a LG tv made in 2012 model 55LM6700 msrp $2,299.99 and it has no netflix profiles support. Yet my 2006 model RVL-001 msrp $249.99 nintendo Wii does WTH?
The phone I use on a daily basis is a 2 year, 4 month, 29 day old stupid phone and verizon last pushed a software update to it just 2 weeks ago
The MAXX was $699 when it was first released. My Samsung Convoy 3 was $199 when it was released. They were released just 9 days apart. If I had paid $699 for a phone and it wasn't being kept as up to date as a $199 flip phone I think I would be pretty pissed too.
If I want a certain model/version/edition I tend to go with ebay as it's more WYSIWYG than amazon. Amazon has a really high tendency to use stock photos.
Plus some of the listings have been screwed up for years! Check these two out http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ... Buy nickel get brass
They have been like that since at least as far back as march 2014!
But the 2 day shipping and no rush credits are still great!
I haven't gotten anything from amazon or ebay that was counterfeit that wasn't advertised as such that I'm aware of anyway. You know good MFI spec lightning type cables go for about $1.60 each Apple still wants $19 for one. Let's see do I want 10 cables that will last about 3 months a piece or do I want to buy one cable that will last about 3 months? Same price, same country of origin and same crap quality.
Cool. I bought some rosewill drive enclosures a few years ago that are still working great. Although I didn't know they were a store brand at the time.
I don't buy much of anything on new-egg anymore. The site layout is just so messed up now I can't find anything anymore. It was better before they started letting people post classified ads as products for sell.
If it shows up in the list of results I expect to be able to buy it on Newegg not click through to Bullshitbrandxcompany to complete my purchase there.
You do realize they still use unencrypted AM radios to communicate right? And why bother encrypting when you would have to give everyone the key? They broadcast ADS-B for safety as even today over 100 years from the first flight planes are still pretty dangerous. If you don't give a shit about safety go ahead turn your transponders off. Why not shut off the TCAS too for good measure? Planes flew for years without any of that new fangled not crash tech and while they won't immediately fall out of the sky if you switched it off they would definitely crash into each other more often.
Its like those people that encrypt their wifi with WPA2-PSK AES and put the password in the wifi name: "WIFI KEY DEADBEEF"
If you have to give the same key to everyone why even bother? It provides no security. Because if you know the wifi key you can decrypt the traffic of everyone else using the AP. So then you have a false sense of security which is much worse than knowing the connection is not secure.
Kind of like how the TSA is supposed to make you feel safe without actually making you safe but worse.
Just fyi OpenSSL was vulnerable to heartbleed for over 2 years before it was discovered then it was fixed at the same time it was announced.
Otherwise yeah adobe reader is large security risk for Any windows computer...actually now that I think of it wasn't jailbreakme.com based on a PDF exploit?
So even just PDF in general seems to have security problems in implementation for some reason.
Cell service is already faster than the highest speed speed available on two of the three isp's in town. I am getting 20/8Mbps+ on verizon's lte. At&t tops out at 18/1Mbps and suddenlink tops out at 15/1.5Mbps.
Since wireless has such limited capacity you would think wired would have an easier time keeping up.
Anyone know where to find old versions of chrome? Or a way to disable chrome's auto update function so it doesn't later decide you forgot to re-enable it and update anyway?
Auto updates are nice until they decide when I want to update for me.

Where do you live that the police are elected?
I bet it uses state of the art undetectable ROT26 encryption.
Would that be covered by warranty? Afaik the standard failure mode RTC (aka return to china where the drone takes off at top speed in the direction of china) is not covered.
Especially if it happens to be a 4km error in altitude....Die Hard 2?

But I am still not over having to setup a facebook account to login to sites that cba to make their own login page.
Or the fact it takes 3 months for their support team to remove your email address from their system.
What the dash isn't molded plastic in a Delorean like it is in every mass produced vehicle today?
Something that does still irk me is that I happen to have a LG tv made in 2012 model 55LM6700 msrp $2,299.99 and it has no netflix profiles support. Yet my 2006 model RVL-001 msrp $249.99 nintendo Wii does WTH?
So all the plastic has already dry rotted before it even gets to the car lot.
Droid MAXX is only 2 years, 5 months, 7 days old

Since wireless has such limited capacity you would think wired would have an easier time keeping up.
What price (in USD please) do you think is fair for 25/5?
These are the prices where I live;
The fiber in town is $55 for 20/?
Out of town they offer wireless in some locations for $126 for 20/?
? because they don't list the upload speed of residential plans.
