There's two types of attacks. One is a fake tower the other is just listening in/relay of signal to a real tower with out any funny business. The change T-mobile is making will help prevent the later but the downgrade attack will still work. As long as the device supports the insecure standards the fake towers will work for downgrade attacks (assuming they prevent you from connecting to a better tower).

The public hotspot has a different public ip address from the subscriber's public ip address.

I should have done a bit more looking around before I posted my other comment. If you want to drop a crazy amount of money you can get a Oracle tape drive. The T10000 T2 tapes hold 8.5TB uncompressed however it's unclear if you can buy one drive or how much one costs. http://www.oracle.com/us/produ... http://www.oracle.com/us/produ...

Unless it's something other then LTO 2.5TB is the best there is right now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

It was a upgrade to the botnet that switched it from normal networking to going over tor for command and control.

Credit card processing has fees attached to it. Many smaller shops tend to have a large flat transaction fee and some percent. if you charge $.50 on your credit card it might cost $.11 in fees meaning the merchant only gets $.39 for the $.50 worth of goods from a $.10 transaction fee + 3%. There are some processors out there that only charge a percent as far as I can tell like square.

I got it a gun with Micky Mouse(r) ears for iron sights!

Every time I have to deal with timezones I wish everyone was UTC I know for a lot of people including my self the next day would change part way through the day but it's so annoying to deal with as many time zones as we have today. While we are at it can we fix it so no month has less than 30 days or more then 31?

The issue is channels that are encrypted and require a cable card aka almost all but broadcast channels and that's changing(thanks fcc for not looking out for us). I have RCN and the only channels that they flag that I've run into so far are the premium movie channels. OP I think your options are switch to Comcast(I think they flag a tad more then they should be are not too bad) or give up on rolling your own dvr.

I can't find anything about this on google so it must not be true.

it looks to me like the article page on /. has 0 tables. I have made a lot of pages that don't have tables. However with that said there are times when a table is a lot eazer to put together then a bunch of divs.
