Rogue APs are generally defined as APs that you don't manage but have been connected to your wired network. Obviously this could be a significant security risk. I don't think they're sending deauth messages to every client/AP they see.

It looks like it allows you to mark any AP as "rogue" even if they're not detected as "on-wire" despite that not being the purpose of the feature.

I would define "rogue" as any AP intentionally using the SSID of my network to trick users into connecting to it instead of my own infrastructure.

How do you know if your backups are good? Better to test a restore when everything is still working fine rather than waiting until you really need it and then finding out that your backups are broken.

I assume you're meaning the message on the first slide? Hit the right arrow on your keyboard.

My interpretation of this was that it was more of a reminder to hotels and convention centres that they're not exempt from the existing regulation. If they're found to be in breach of existing regulations then they will be fined.

Ah, so it's not new regulation - but clarification on existing?

Right. A subtle point came up elsewhere in these comments noting that there's an exception for security. The fine point appears to be securing the wired LAN - if you plug in a rogue access point, you can rightly disable it. If someone's wi-fi access point is merely shouting on the airwaves, well, that's what the airwaves are there for and you've no right to block it.

Think of it as the positive side of the Tragedy of the Commons. Normally we complain about someone peeing in the swimming pool, but the FCC holds that such an analogy doesn't make sense for our airwaves.

I actually have no idea where the FCC stands on things like EM anechoic chambers (like Faraday cages). It may or may not be ok to set those up around buildings; likely it requires certification and - if not a lab - some way for 911 and police/fire/rescue to do their jobs unimpeded.

EDIT: Specifically about the newness of the law: turns out a lot of this references The Communications Act of 1934. It could be interesting to see how the philosophy of the radio communication acts are different from our modern interpretation of how to use the higher frequency radio spectrum.

I think so. Mariott made a request last year asking for permission to block "rogue" access points from inside their hotels. This is the response.

I have a 1TB SSD in my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina and System Information is reporting that it has a 4x link. Even with the additional overhead of having FileVault enabled I still see read/write performance in the region of 1000-1100 MB/s.

The 1TB disk in those is PCI-E.

iOS 8 has timelapse, implemented as a series of photos taken a few seconds apart and then stitched together. This appears to be a video stream that is then smoothed and then (optionally) sped up.

I have 2 invites left, if anyone wants one. Email is in my profile.

Edit: both gone

Thanks!

Hi

Just sent you a mail

Thanks !

Ghost and WordPress offer hosted blogs as well as source code. It's no longer necessary to worry about servers or FTP details just to get up and running. Creating a blog is now as easy as filling out a form on a website and clicking submit.

Your only other USP appears to be the ability to parse themes designed for a different engine. Is this going to be enough to distinguish Ospari from your competitors? Is it feasible for someone to write a WordPress plugin that achieves the same thing?

Ghost is great. Wordpress is not. Yes, currently our USP is parsing ghost themes. Ospari is faster than Wordpress and I would say even more secure than Wordpress. Not to mention the code quality ;-) and we have just released the first version.

While not quite the same as having FTP access Ghost do offer hosted blogs from only $5 per month. Anyone that can set up a WordPress.com blog should find Ghost just as easy.

Ok, but not everyone can pay Ghost hosting plan, since "$" is not the default and official currency in every country.

The Ghost Foundation is a UK organisation and I can assure you that USD is not the default currency here. If they're willing to make the effort to accept USD, I'm sure there are plenty of bloggers able to make the effort to pay using it.

Regardless, USD is the de facto standard for SAAS payments (whether this is good or bad is a discussion for another time). If you can't pay in USD then you'll find a substantial proportion of services unavailable to you.

If you're referring to the browser screenshot I think it's Opera (which is now based on Chromium) rather than Firefox. That will at least explain some of the similarities.
