Retransmitting analog cell phone calls was made into a crime which is why Google is getting slapped over this. Multi-band radios used to be able to tune them in before analog became essentially obsolete. The difference, of course, is that WiFi APs *advertise* their presence on purpose rather than carry the presumption of privacy but we can't expect old people to understand technology.

Hey but you can learn about all the Pokemon and Transformers trivia you could ever want to know.

Rather than whine about being a guinea pig you could just not play their game. Every hour spent on Facebook is an hour of your life lost to more productive or enriching pursuits.

Apple won't be happy until they've reimplemented MS Bob but with a little more style.

Yes. That's what Community Access TV was originally developed for.

And the uranium? Just blowin in the wind.

This is a solution in search of a problem.

This is why whole drive encryption is bad. Even creating a "hidden volume" for plausible deniability is going to look suspicious if anyone bothers to ask who so much of the physical HD space is unused by a dummy OS with a curiously small amount of activity recorded in the system logs.

A safer solution is to randomize new drives with GNU shred (faster PRNG than /dev/*random) and store critical info in smaller encrypted containers that hide amongst the noise. Disable swap or use encrypted swap (with random keys) and disable browser disk caching to eliminate saving sensitive transient data to disk. Use an OS that won't record potentially incriminating info in a registry such as USB device serial numbers.

At that point it's much easier to deny the presence of encrypted data or, if forced to admit its presence, you can use the "I forgot" or "I can't regenerate the password" excuse which can't be done believably with a computer in regular use that has whole disk encryption.

Hacking? This man is obviously a terrist fer'ner. Get him to Gitmo in a rendition wagon ASAP.

Betting the farm on Parrot and then waiting *years* to start implementing the Perl 6 spec is what killed it. Besides, around these parts we wait for Netcraft to confirm. We haven't succeeded in killing off the *BSDs yet have we?

Please tell that to the older cowboy coder I have to deal with who refuses to use git more frequently than once a month and has a hissy fit if I check anything into the mainline branch that he's working on as it will mess up his "merges".

Like Barbie says: "Math is hard"

The answer is simple. Young men have figured out that the "everyone needs a degree" sales pitch is BS and are opting for other career options. That leaves an excess of women in the university system who are never planning to be the primary breadwinner after they get married and can afford to fritter away time getting a degree that will saddle them with a debt their mate can pay for.

It's an algorithm describable through symbolic math. It shouldn't be patentable.

Bike Friday has been using essentially the same configuration on their foldables for quite some time without notable issues.
