Comment Re:slim jim = stolen CDs. Hot wiring much harder (Score 1) 221

That is one thing I've always wanted the time and equipment to muck around with. Its all security through obscurity since at the end of the day it comes down to a single bit saying whether the car can start or not. Change that bit and all the rest of the security vanishes. Just like hotwiring a older car means the key as a security mechanism.

It might be difficult to get to that bit without half dismantling the car, but it would be interesting to tinker with nevertheless.

Comment Re:No. (Score 2) 291

I'm in Australia and I get 10mbit/s sync with ADSL2+ (there is a NBN fibre bolted to the side of my house, but no light in it).

From that:
- 4 VoIP lines
- 2 people working from home, copious calls/video calls.
- My 33TB NAS gets data from somewhere
all runs from it just fine.

I could use 100mbit or faster better than most, but realistically I start to struggle thinking about what I'd do after 20mbps or so, and any more than that is just doing silly crap with it.
