Do you develop on GitHub? You can keep using GitHub but automatically sync your GitHub releases to SourceForge quickly and easily with this tool so your projects have a backup location, and get your project in front of SourceForge's nearly 20 million monthly users. It takes less than a minute. Get new users downloading your project releases today!
Don't even need to sell open source, just either statically compile or ship the libraries with your proprietary binary and use those! It's not rocket science.
Oh right, a cultural construct. Bonus points if you force the question on Spanish-speaking users, in which cultures there is no name changing and the person's last name includes what would be considered the mother's "maiden name". Very secure.
In theory what was once 1 IP you get is now a/64 block. IPv6 privacy extensions (enabled by default on Windows at least, available everywhere) make your computer generate a new IP every time you use it (still within the block), so it's sort of the same. They can prove it was in your house but not which equipment (unless it's still using the same address...)
At least Windows 7 (not sure if Vista) has IPv6 privacy extensions on by default. Sadly, my Galaxy S II not only does NOT have them on by default, but they didn't even compile it into their kernel. On my Linux box I turned it on with a config file. But still, brute force is still unfeasable, it's good for avoiding tracking between networks I suppose.
Collecting SSIDs and correlating to locations is completely legal.
What happened was that the cars were also (accidentally?) collecting unencrypted wifi data at the same time (and in my opinion, while this was a mistake, what expectation of privacy should you have when you don't spend the 5 seconds it takes to tick 'WPA'?)
There's no way to update the DS, as the wi-fi stack is built into each game cartridge. Chances are you wouldn't be using a DS online enough to want to lower your security though...
Actually, to be more correct, there's no such thing as a DS modchip.
There are however, cards that take microSD and appear to the DS as a genuine DS cart.
(At most, in the first years of these carts appearing, the DS firmware was modified to treat certain GBA carts as DS carts, but there were never any modchips or soldering involved.)
ObsessiveMathsFreak writes: "Howard Tayler, the webcomic artist of Schlock Mercenary fame, is calling on people not to donate money during the latest Wikimedia Foundation fund-raiser, in protest at the "notability purges" taking place throughout Wikipedia, where articles are being removed en-masse by what many see as overzealous admins. The webcomic community in particular has long felt slighted by the application of Wikipedia's contentious Notability policy. Wikinews reporters have recently begun investigating this issue, but are the admins listening? Is Deletionism becoming a dominant ethos on Wikipedia? Are the right people holding the reigns?"
The Byelorrusian Spamtrap writes: "Wired Magazine's made its position clear on the state of play in America's cellular industry, delivering a long, satisfying screed on why all of us should stop complaining and do something about it. Legislation is under consideration in congress to heavily regulate carriers, and it wants you to support it: contact your critter today!"
Khuffie writes: "In perhaps one of the coolest revelations about Super Smash Bros. Brawl so far, you will be able to create custom levels. Levels can be stored on SD card as well as shared with others via Wi-Fi. Levels can also be submitted to Nintendo, who will choose one level daily to send out to all Smash Bros. owners! The current plan is to have this level disappear after the one day."
