They seriously need to fix their international pricing. For a 64GB model it's $913AUD to buy an iPhone 5s in the US, $1129AUD to buy one in Australia. What?

Generally you would be a fool to anyway. Chances are that anybody can make their own fake finger with gummy bears and a print found on the glossy case. Same has always been true though, through bootrom exploits and simple shoulder surfing.

Yes. http://www.hakim.ws/st585/KevinDevine/ The same applies to many brands, not just the one in this example.

There's people on Bitcointalk that will do you a USB Block for 0.10BTC and 0.05BTC shipping. Grab one or two and hash away. It's amazing just that such a small community can generate their own custom-made hardware.

Many routers sold use their own serial number as the WPA key though, and have a lot of the serial number in the default SSID. It's something I'm constantly telling my friends to fix.

It's an obscenely high risk game (I wouldn't even call it an investment). There's possibility for a complete loss , mediocre return, or a low possibility of high gains. Everybody selling the hardware is against their own inte

Next to none. Their USB powered devices are really just-for-fun, and their larger modular blade systems will make a return on your investment of a few dollars- maybe. The company also keeps rapidly dropping the prices on their products fast

Just like people in English speaking countries get things tattooed on them in Chinese, I can only imagine that the reverse is true. Things are apparently trendier if you make them sound foreign.

Same setup used to circumvent US encryption exportation laws. Tens of thousands of pages of code, printed and scanned from books.

It'd be nice to have the marker on a real pace though, rather than being plopped in a random spot.

I did actually use an interesting domain for a little while, but got completely fed up of it being rejected everywhere.

by nwh 13y ago
It does for all the irritated people that can't use their new domains on the tens of thousands of systems with rigid regex like this. Even if it's not breaking anything today, it's certain it will in the future.

Yes, it is, or at least close enough that you should be considering it. http://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/ier/hu62oef5uc... gTLD can also contain punnycode/unicode now, which additionall

Sorry, just broke your regex. hello@visit.melbourne. Yes, that's a valid TLD now.

I'm sure your anecdotal experience with a handful of drugs is representative of everybody else's experience. (It's not)

Amazing for a species which—baring the box jellyfish—have absolutely no brains.

Not really. For a passive attack the key would have to be stolen from a server rather then the CA, who never sees the private key, rather only the CSR (public key).

MITM isn't the issue, we assume for the most part that the NSA is a passive eavesdropper. Easier in that situation to sniff and decode with a stolen secret, rather than rewriting traffic on the fly.

by nwh 13y ago
That's the part that's always amused me. They claim they only spy on foreigners, which is well, me. Reassuring stuff.

It goes deeper than that. If I owned any server hardware, chances are it would be in a rack in a datacenter. What's to say somebody hasn't walked in, flipped a badge and taken my SSL private keys? In fact, that's quite probab

I've been using them for a similar period as xur17 . Have not had a single issue, bar some packet routing at AMS1 that just lead to latency for a few minutes. Their API is getting quite nice to tie into, though I've had to resort

Not at all. More hilariously maritime than actually irritating. A minor bug report though; if you toggle playback on and off quickly you can end up with double/triple notifications for events — http://i.imgur.com/mu6Jr2

Was quite relaxing to watch until a huge crowd of foghorns rocked my apartment. It does, admittedly, feed my desire for pretty realtime data.

Not really. It's just pegging the CPU of the nodes attempting to rendezvous. Noise can be filtered out.

They're a company that you're probably trusting most of your keys and data to. Trust in them must be absolute anyway.
