Pity the code is so long it's easier just to use your card.

There might be further reaching impacts that we don't know about yet.

Somewhat vitally, there's a certain amount of unease for a danger we can't sense and can't see. Nuclear power is scary for that reason, it doesn't matter if it's irrational or unfounded, the thought of being killed

Could QT be made to look as pretty? QT based apps are notoriously hard to work with on OSX, they never quite manage to fit in at all. That said I can't get this one to function at all, so it's a moot point as far as usability goes

Hate to see what happens when a bug causes the wrong motors to fire and the thing breaks all of your bones. Be awesome to use one though all the same.

iMessage is still terrible. Messages don't make it to their destination, images fail to send properly, messages are duplicated.

The service sort of implies otherwise. If it's a phone number they'll get texts and iMessages. If they're using the feature that forwards iMessages to an AppleID the SIM must be in an iPhone, and I hardly think they'd re

That's embarrassing, I know characters from books in the 1800s but not movies in the last decade.

Blue bubbles are for iMessage, green is for SMS. It also says "iMessage" at the top of the conversation.

Wonder how they're interfacing with iMessage. As far as I know the binaries are heavily obfuscated and have no public interfaces. I'm guessing the name is based on Jeeves?

Sweet. That's another website on which I'll be fighting Google Accounts.

I think the lack of wider scale meshnets is just that the people willing to set one up or join one are either geographically isolated or aren't aware of others in a similar position. You need a high density of willing participants for

They had the "IPO" in April. Just because the same is the same doesn't mean the target is the same (see Ripple being bought out and turned into a pump and dump).

Yes, as far as anybody seriously believes this is completely impossible. Their "solution" will likely be not one at all. There's several comments floating around that MaidSafe has saved all of the people who bought MasterCoin

Sounds pretty made up. It's over 200ms for me to see a reply from most servers just due to the latency coming in and out of the deep sea cables. I wager most nodes in a p2p system would have peers far above that. You can't get aro

If have to look it up, but I don't think the AP would get the plaintext password during the WPA2 key exchange.
52.
by nwh 12y ago
OSX and I assume iOS does do detection of this. If you connect to an AP that was WPA2 encrypted in the past, and has the same name but no encryption now, it gives you a big scary warning and bails out.

At least one other region has had them for a while (Singapore I think).

Yes. Same as the iPod can have composite video and two audio channels. Three ring / four section plugs.

Just to nitpick: it's using the seebeck effect not the peltier effect, they're the reverse of one another.

Replaced the end points, not the wiring itself. The wiring is 2000s vintage and not anywhere near as terrible as the huge old Australian baseboard plugs it was fastened in to. Replacing the wiring in the walls was a bit too much given that

I redid the wiring in the house as far as I could and cleaned up the MDF myself (screwing it back on the wall was a nice start). Problem is probably in the pit, but as you said it's not their interest to fix it as I don't have a T

Have you seen the state of Telstra copper? No way, I can't even break 0.8MB/s with ADSL2. The pit outside my house is filled to the brim with water when it rains, which drops the sync speed even further. The MDF of my building was
