Exactly this. I liked proper expansions where you got a good proportion of a whole game's extra content. I hate DLC where you are encouraged to buy large numbers of small items, because it's a 'death by a thousand cuts'

To many, many gamers, as soon as the word EA comes up, it already means "prepare for disappointment, DRM, and disastrous launches".

The cheap (flawed, but better than nothing) way is to have the SSID be something like "Businessname Public (Password: iev8eiM9)" or similar, or just have it on a blackboard inside, which has the bonus of stopping people outside us

What you're talking about works for unencrypted networks, but you can just grab that data off the air anyway. It won't work for WPA2. >spoof ssl Only if either they blindly accept invalid certs, or you somehow already installed

Wrong. It probes without announcing any networks, and compares the list it gets to the list you have saved. If it finds a match, it then probes specifically for that network without announcing any others it knows. The main drawback is tha

Has it been a year already? This always comes in a cycle. The solution is to use Pry-fi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.p... . It also has a nice feature where it randomly cycles your M

If he died at home, it's unlikely to be as it is, unfortunately, still illegal in Britain. Switzerland is the key location where most British people go for assisted suicide.

I think they're elegant. The cable points downwards rather than just outwards like most others (US/EU). They have a nice finished edge that's easy to grip rather than a moulded piece of angled plastic.

BitTorrent (the client) is based on uTorrent's codebase as they are owned by the same company. Both can install malware if you're not careful.

1U server or HP microserver. Good connection (not typical US cable) with a static IP. I'd probably use CentOS 6 (avoiding systemd) with full disk encryption, and either a RAID10 of some good-performing normal disks, or RAID1 of SSDs. I

>who runs their own email server? :) Anyone who cares about privacy? :) Qmail is too old to be usable these days, but Postfix does at least use its security model. It isn't perfect, but arguably the best mail server around for that

You wouldn't. It's a way for mobile networks and google/apple/MS to muscle in on the payment market, and for both them and shops to increase the amount of personal data they steal.

I'd like it too, but there are still innumerable things that also need root. I've never had a single problem from root and would never own a phone without root, for any reason. Without root, a phone just sucks too much. Pry-fi (ra

Well, that's why. The security on those is a joke. Yay security by obscurity.

Nice scare quotes. Sorry to break it to you, but it's a well known and accepted term which does not invalidate an argument by its use.

I can't see how this would go well. Chrome OS has been a big flop, and pushing that onto phones is just going to pile more disadvantages on top of that. The everything-as-a-website concept is fatally flawed anyway, as while it is often
