Mike, if you just had 5 or 6 guys like Goolnik, you would not need any other topics to fill the blog. Just a weekly update/recurse on the RTBF from each.
The wrt54 was THE main target router, where dd-WRT could stretch its legs to its full functionality. The wrt54 was huge in its day, and had the most volume of sales, plus it was hackable!
It is still a favorite for this reason, but of course, better hardware has supplanted it.
Now, many OEMs like Asus basically use DD-WRT as their firmware, just a branded version.
I'm usually on board with the 1st amendment editorial position here, but not in this case.
If he had posted an article titled: "How to use bitcoin to avoid gov't snooping", I'd agree that his speech is protected. ISIS may use that information, but he'd have plenty of plausible deniablity, like a gun maker, that the tool is not to blame for its use.
But he specifically linked his instructions to ISIS, making it tactical for a specific purpose. He overtly indicated funding for ISIS as the objective of his lesson.
Intent matters, and he made his intent clear, and a matter of record.
I have no idea what the appropriate sentence is, but it's somewhere between nothing and whatever they give you for treason. If he's not a US citizen, then deportation.
You know, the same punishment we gave to Reagan and Oliver North for funding the Contras.
I suggest we extrapolate on Senator Johnson's strategy, and make a form of "security tunnel" that passengers pass through.
The tunnel would start with a body scanner, then a metal detector, then Jared Fogle would pat you down, then the fun "victory tunnel" from my kid's soccer team would cheer you up for the final section, disgraced University of Oklahoma fraternity SAE would give you ritualized spankings while yelling racist or other slurs at you!
I can't PROVE to you that this would catch more terrorists, but I FEEL like we'd be safer. Should we implement my plan? I’m not saying we shouldn’t, at a minimum we should try my plan. Why not go through the security tunnel? You’ve just gotta use common sense.”
If we visit the test site, will it reveal the results correctly if:
- one is currently using a carrier-provided femtocell that backhauls on the customer's DSL or cable? - one is currently using a wifi connection? - one is using HTTPS?
I'm concerned that if people run the test, at home, they may get a negative result over their wifi, but if they left home, they'd be spy fodder.
This is shortsighted for the operators. In an age of Over The Top competition, new competition from wifi only phones, etc, carriers can ill-affort to generate a pool of latent hate from the customers.
"Taxi companies own (or lease) their vehicles; they don't make their drivers provide them."
No. They do something even worse. They own them, and control the medallions which are priced out of reach of the drivers. Then they RENT the taxi cabs to the drivers in 12 hour chunks for about $100 to $110 per day.
Don't forget that (if they were not prohibited) taxi drivers could just use their own car, or rent a car from Alamo for less, or lease a car for way less.
The drivers are economically forced to work 12 hour shifts, in order to earn back enough fares to pay off the high fixed cost of that cab rental. Any cabbie who works just 6 hours will earn just enough to pay the cab rental fee, and keep NOTHING!
So, your claim of "they don't make their drivers provide [cars]" should have been phrased as "they force their drivers to rent cars their cars at inflated rates."
You may be right, if you're referring to trains and buses.
I hope that by "infrastructure" you don't mean the existing taxi system. There is no "regulation or requirement" for taxis to work on any given day, either. And many of us have found ourselves in times and places where one could not be hailed or called.
By "jacked rates" do you mean the way cities add an "Airport pickup tax" to some taxi pickups, for no fair reason? Or the way they add "occupancy taxes" to my hotel bill that wasn't part of the quoted rate nor part of AirBnB?
I'm not entirely anti-regulation or anti-tax, but with taxis, we've definitely got a case of the current system not working well, and the innovation working much better.
I don't know the model the Steven Johnson at the Times used, but it's very possible he missed out on a big part of the revenues by artists, specifically, merchandise.
"And yet collectively, the figures seem to suggest that music, the creative field that has been most threatened by technological change, has become more profitable in the post-Napster era"
Is he just counting "music sales"?
It is very likely that other revenues, like merch sales, are often categorized as something other than "making money from music". In fact, the Masnicator has been saying for years that music has a marginal cost of zero, thus a correct marginal revenue of zero and price of zero, therefore musicians should endeavor to make money of associated scarce products. It just so happens that it works, but still much of that revenue would NOT get categorized as music revenue, despite the fact that it still ends up in the pocketbooks of musicians -- and probably a bigger cut than if it had to be filtered through the toolbooth called RIAA.
(Oops, did I type toolbooth instead of tollbooth? Well, I'm not correcting it, since it's not incorrect.)
Have you heard of the new printers from Epson? It seems that the market may be working. Since enough customers are now in on the scam, one OEM is launching a printer that promises to screw you less!
The Epson Eco Tank printers will sell at a higher initial price, which one hopes is profitable for Epson, and in return (ostensibly) will have much more affordable ink.
Epson claims the ink tanks will hold 20 times the quantity the normal cartridges hold, and will be cheaply refillable by just pouring in more ink from a bottle.
Basically, it is a printer that eschews the "razor and blade" business model that we see in the above story by Tim, in favor of a more straightforward business model.
But, let's see if reality matches marketing. The printers are set to sell in September.

A tax IS a revenue for the gov't treasury. That's sorta why they call the agency that taxes us:
The Internal REVENUE Service.
Maybe you missed that. Totally understandable. It's just some obscure gov't office.

Be sure to turn off wifi when testing.
Also, probably a good idea to try it both on and away from a femtocell if you use one.
