Oops, my bad; nevermind. Ars was just a little late to update their website that they'd even be covering this event today it seems. (Still, why can't I view the live-stream?!)

Why isn't arstechnica.com live-blogging apple today? And yet when I access www.apple.com/live using my un-sanctioned non-Apple device at that public URL, all I can read at this moment is the official Apple Corp. live-blog.

That's freaking awesome!

That's how the Harvard kid got busted classically calling in a bomb threat on test day. The feds looked for outgoing Tor traffic from the Harvard LAN, which requires a MAC address BTW.

Whooshh Innovations

My understanding is because the tax-free 'HQ' , oops, I meant the Operations Center in question is located in Nevada of course, and that would obviously present a financial hardship on these common Washingtonians whose means to earn a living have been diminished.

The ELK Stack (ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana) are great tools for capturing logs from *anything*, indexing and massaging of the data captured, and then offering up visualization, searches, and dashboards (that refresh). Built with Angular.js so the speed happens.

We could be talkin' web server logs of the NY Times servers, centralized and displaying dashboards in real-time, or maybe 24/7 sensor data streaming from the ocean floor. The ELK Stack can do it.

First googled citation, and there's plenty more where this came from: http://thepracticalsysadmin.co...

This is a good article, as before I had no idea such sophisticated rogue towers were such a threat all over the US.

So when Goldsmith and his team drove by the government facility in July, he also took a standard Samsung Galaxy S4 and an iPhone to serve as a control group for his own device.

”As we drove by, the iPhone showed no difference whatsoever. The Samsung Galaxy S4, the call went from 4G to 3G and back to 4G. The CryptoPhone lit up like a Christmas tree.”

Though the standard Apple and Android phones showed nothing wrong, the baseband firewall on the Cryptophone set off alerts showing that the phone’s encryption had been turned off, and that the cell tower had no name – a telltale sign of a rogue base station. Standard towers, run by say, Verizon or T-Mobile, will have a name, whereas interceptors often do not.

Only replying to myself rhetorically, but who on Earth would want their children to ride bicycles if safety was such a grave concern? Is this the society we want to develop?

...from Witnesses, (page 3 of the Police PDF Report):

Andrew McCown was the driver of a vehicle that was traveling eastbound on Mulholland Highway approximately 60 feet behind Wood's patrol vehicle when the collision occurred. He indicated he did not see Olin until he "flew into the air" after being struck by the patrol vehicle. He did not see the patrol vehicle swerve or the brake lights activate until after a collision occurred. McCown is an emergency medical technician and stopped to render aid to Olin. Olin had no pulse and had a severe injury to his head.

Ashely McCown was the passenger in that vehicle. She stated that she also noticed Olin in the bicycle lane prior to the collision.

I like bicycles so much I don't have a driver's license. But who on Earth would risk their life riding a bike, (for whatever sensible reason), when professional idiots kill bicyclists riding peacefully and safely?

From a user POV, using a VISA card outside of the USA is far more secure then using a VISA card within the USA, in 2014; or at least within the EU. You're correct in that the ownership of The VISA Corporation is irrelevant.
