Cracking WEP takes about a minute, given a reasonable amount of traffic (and this is read-only). Once in, you grab a MAC that you've seen get traffic and impersonate it (more or less). MACs aren't at all secret, so WEP is basically open.

No! Agile is about iteration and isn't really suited to stringing a bunch of prototypes together. I can drive a nail with my fist, but that isn't a good idea.

Nice, now I know not to take you seriously.

Low value, high supply.

Okay, 41% chasing neckbeards on 4chan. Is ID theft and CC fraud a cyber crime?

No, we'd prefer they not spend nearly half their time going after it.

Exactly how many kiddie pornographers do you think there are in this country? Also, 41 percent?! Don't we have actual murders to solve?

Could be worse - look up feynman's rant on the state of physics education in Brazil. Basically, at the time, nobody was learning physics, just memorizing facts

I'll probably get shit on for this, but if the average science grad is anything like the average CS grad, all they know is formulas anyway. The ones actually doing science don't stay in India.

Seeing as how the guys who make all the really bad decisions (mgmt) aren't unionized, you can't really blame them, can you?

No, no, those are book critics.

I told you, you stick them in the walls and don't tell anyone. Sure, that doesn't stop the hassle of installing them, but you won't get the wingnuts wandering in because they won't know they're there.

You can absolutely make the cell smaller, and the thing that att is selling to people for home use is about the size of a book. What this means is that you can make small GSM cells without obvious infrastructure - stick them in the walls for all they care.

The unlocked Iphones have been fairly consistently priced at $850-$900. given a 24 month commitment and an $80 cell phone bill, that's $1920 + $200 for the subsidised price - assuming that att pays retail (they don't), you get about $1220 over 24 months = $50/mo for service + profit. nice business to be in.

I'd say they are all marketing terms, sort of like MS and their DNS from days of yore. That said, hosted scalable VPS instances are damn useful, provided you actually understand them

Comcast offers a 'managed DVR' thing, which you might have been referring to.
