Yeah sorry that is exactly how "rolling code" DOESN'T work.

The "rolling code" is used as PART of the encryption algorithm to validate the keyfob. The base and the fob both keep track of the "rolling code" and increment it with each keypress. It's also used to resync the base with the keyfob just in case you have kids who like to press buttons when you're out of base station range. (this is how car locking and garage doors, and maybe many other systems work)

The base station still has to have stored the keyfob unique ID and the shared secret key. That all gets dumped into the encryption algorithm.

What is accepted as a technical article these days astounds me.

No it's like hacking a door lock by getting the key, making a copy and opening the door. People get paid for articles like that??

How is this even a job? This fuck gets paid to blather about things he has no knowledge of and 'somehow' is some kinda 'expert' for giving us, 'the common folk' the gift of his blatherings??

We need to 'off' these bastards before they breed.

Developers? Developers? Developers? Did somebody say Developers? http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/steve-ballmer-monkey-dance Dance monkey, dance!

actually the Mammoths were driving the SUVs. Can you imagine the gas mileage of a Mammoth family going on summer vacation in their SUV??? Pathetic.

Try to live in a rural area in Canada, you get one choice. Xplornet (Exploitnet as it's known). No cap but the 3Mbps (not a typo) is typically half that and sometimes much much worse for the very fair price of $75/month.

Good thing the CRTC is looking out for us, eh?

My grey hair turns grey, sees itself in the mirror, gets disgusted and leaps off my head in an apparent suicide.

It is not a science at all. It is a religion and rotten to the core.

FTFY

????? Is someone from Slashdot running Amazon now??

To add a bit to my reasoning - I had a contractor from Wipro working on site. One day there was a news report that a series of bus shelters were bombed around the area where their offices are. I suggested that he call home to make sure friends and co-workers were alright. After 1/2 hour on the phone he told me "Oh it's ok they were only small bombs" I really don't consider a place stable where people are used to the idea that small bombs are ok.
