Re: Break?

Thank you vtcoger. That was an excellent read. In 1994 GN (Great Nordic) published "From dots and dashes to tele and datacommunications" to celebrate their 125th anniversary. It compliments the link you provided.

Was I the only one who read it as 'Certified Scam Masters'?

Re: Mayday! I have flight stability and weapons arming problems!

Need to eject. My glide time is 10 minutes less than the required time for reboot!!

Re: how much?

Sounds like they are just looking to find a way to charge off the expenses. Thought that the government had to provide a salary to the staff plus operating costs for the bird ;-)

Re: OK, some professional tips

5) Never connect a UPS supply to an upstream UPS. Each UPS requires its own dedicated circuit.

Might have received a lesser punishment if a medieval was inflicted.

Re: Bah!

Always good to have some magic dust to use in the Magic Kingdom!

They need to have a public face losing incident more often.

Re: Aside from "victims need only install an attacker's app"

Hmmm. How do you turn an idevice completely off?

Re: There are still Blackberry users?

More battery life - disable LTE under network mode. Crap LTE coverage - poor battery utilization.

Re: Say what?

Hey Mondo,

I'm 60+. I am building out client data centers and the like and charging top dollar to have fun! What I have found is that there are still positions for those that understand the 'plumbing' that makes said data centers work. If the basic plumbing is screwed there is one very long term pile of pain for the client.

As you noted there is still a requirement for those that know and understand racking, stacking and cabling that is required to ensure successful DC operations. I know that I spend a significant amount of time at client sites helping youngsters understand the low tech that is necessary to keep the high tech palaces operational.

It seems obvious. But not necessarily to management or juniors.

Enjoy your time.

No Chip & PIN for Lowe's

>Lowe's got hacked a few weeks ago. Could not understand why there may have been a a issue with Canadian stores. Went shopping there on the weekend. Found that I needed to swipe and sign on my credit card transaction. No Chip & PIN in their Canadian locations! Left the goods at the cashier.

Time to start hanging the CEO's and CIO's up by their bits using piano wire. No trial. No mea culpa. Straight to the bar.

Maybe a 4th!!

Edit your config to disable 4G and run 3G. Gain a whole bunch of battery life back along with consistent cell coverage.

Re: Easy option

CSEC does not supply free wi-fi access in either airports, across Canada or in the US!

Which company permitted CSEC access to it's 'free' Canada wide wi-fi network?

Did they get access via an NSA proxy corp in the US? Might explain the ability to track in the US.

@Modulation Overlap

The GPS receiver manufacturers took the cheap route for the most part when they designed their receivers. They never expected the spill over from ground based stations and designed the receivers with very a wide bandpass. Additional filtering would add a few bucks to the cost of a receiver. Don't add the filters and you end up with a crap device in the presence of extraneous signals.

Hmmm. On reflection that may explain various Landrovers with sat phones unexpectly ending up in a river ;-)
