Make sure it requires authentication. Set up your filters. Then set your proxy settings to use that server.

I mean, if the WiFi was "good", free, and there were multiple APs with plenty of antennas and bandwidth... would you use it? Especially at a convention?
Even if it's encrypted, people are just going to sniff out your traffic, because they know the key too. The benefit cellular hotspots confer is that only YOU know the WPA2 key.
It's not like women currently in the profession are going to get paid more in this situation. Increasing the talent pool drives wages down. If you do this via H-1B or attempting to reduce barriers to women, you get the same results.
The OP wanted to know why everybody is making a giant fuss about it. It's not because companies suddenly developed a moral compass, but rather they figured out how to dovetail a "win-win" by adopting the cause. They get good PR, diversity increases, talent pool increases... but most importantly: costs go down.
There's no way to fight against this sort of wage suppression other than unionization, so if sexists want to use this as an argument, they'll just look like... sexists?
I can give you the most politically incorrect reason that companies are falling over themselves to push this.
It's the same reason they fall over themselves for H-1B and other immigration reform.
They want cheaper labor because tech skills are rare. If there are equal numbers of women that are smart enough to program, but being held back by invisible barriers, it's in their financial interest to remove those, because that will create a larger supply pool and push down wages.
Bla bla bla other factors about how it's a good idea anyway, but we all know what really drives capitalism.
What exactly is a vertical monopoly going to do against Honda? Note that Honda is free to create one as well, in this situation...
IP Multicast sounds great until you hit the cell tower. Aren't all those signals encrypted per-phone?
More technical detail as to what is going on.
The feature is called Target Display Mode and it is not available in the 5K iMac. It may return when it gains Skylake CPUs with Thunderbolt 3.0, because there is no DisplayPort currently capable of sending 5K data.
HFC MAC wrong? Refuse to connect.
Voter intimidation is easier when you don't have to get them to register for an absentee ballot ahead of time.
Last time I checked the ACM was pro software patents, but I can't verify that is the case now because as others have said, their website is awful.
Don't worry, once they've used you as a beachhead into requiring the devices for all car insurance, I'm sure there would be no unintended consequences of setting a precedent for allowing your insurance company to monitor all sorts of things that are going on about your car.
No, I agree with that statement. I just don't agree that separating the app procurement from the OS makes it any less about the OS/platform/whatever, because the OS dictates how you get them.
in regards to iOS, the store and the OS are inseparable
in regards to Android, the OS allowing side-loading is the avenue that allows malware to enter
technically, it might matter as to if you say it's an OS issue or a "platform" issue, but practically, the nature of the OSes make the difference on this issue moot
fortune: cpu time/usefulness ratio too high -- core dumped.
