solevita writes "[0]Harald Welte, who's been [1]interviewed previously by
Slashdot, has written on his blog about [2]operating an Open Source GSM
network at the recent [3]HAR2009 conference. Photographs and a
description and of the setup, run under license of the Dutch regulatory
authority, are provided; essentially the setup consisted of a pair of
BTS' (Base Transceiver Stations) running at 100mW transmit power each and
tied to a tree. In turn these provided access to the Base Station
Controller (BSC), in this case a Linux server in a tent running
[4]OpenBSC. The system authenticated users with a token sent via SMS; in
total 391 users subscribed to the service and were able to use their
phones as if they were on any other network. Independent researchers are
increasingly examining GSM networks and equipment, Welte's work proves
that GSM is in the realm of the hackers now and that this realm of mobile
networking could be set for a few surprises in the future."

misrepresenting the law in presentations to jurors.'Throughout the course
of trial Microsoft's trial counsel persisted in arguing that it was
somehow improper for a non-practicing patent owner to sue for money

Microsoft lawyer compared plaintiff i4i, Inc. to banks that sought
bailout money from the federal government under the Troubled Asset Relief

circuitry. "Such circuits will require a laser-light source, but current
lasers can't be made small enough to integrate them into electronic

light, to create the tiny spasers."

mentioned at least one success story with the IT dashboard at
USASpending.gov, but can it continue? I have to admit, a second thing
that impressed me about Chopra was that, even with such a success, he
didn't focus on it. The fact that he got together such a site in such a
short period of time is impressive enough, and while he mentioned it in
his talks, most of them were much more focused not on what he'd already
done, but on what he was going to do ��� and the plans all seemed quite

subscribers' downloads and blocking their uploads,' declared then FCC
Chair Kevin Martin. 'It was doing so 24/7, regardless of the amount of
congestion on the network or how small the file might be. Even worse,
Comcast was hiding that fact by making [affected] users think there was a

focus of the indictment, Albert "Segvec" Gonzalez, is currently awaiting
trial for masterminding the [2]TJX break-in, which until Heartland
counted as the largest credit-card theft ever. The indictment cites SQL
injection attacks as the entry vector. Two unnamed Russia-based
conspirators were also indicted. Securosis has analysis of the
[3]security implications of the breach ("These appear to be preventable
attacks using common security controls. It's possible some advanced
techniques were used, but I doubt it") and the [4]attackers' methodology.

halt sales of Word and handed down $290M in [1]fines, the software giant
has moved to stop the ban. On Friday Microsoft [2]filed an emergency
motion to stop the judgment and waive the bond requirement, according to
court filings. The actual document was filed under seal, so the full
contents of the request have not yet been made public."
