ATT charges people for more sideline crap than u can imagine. Most of the fees come with an explanation that would baffle Einstein.ask for a breakdown of their Fcc /911 ad nauseum fees.... you'll never see it in writing. They put out u verse when they knew it wouldn't work. They also told their managers to not let anyone go back to DSL under any circumstance if they cancelled u verse. Att has always been a crime syndicate and always will be. Smartest thing as mentioned is treat ATT like a pit bull w AIDS.....

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/08/06/computer-controlled-rifle-black-hat-trackingpoint/31239637/ Computer security researchers Runa Sandvik and her husband Michael Auger hacked a TrackingPoint TP750 precision-guided rifle. They were able to cause it to miss its target, disable its computer and turn its scope off entirely. They presented their findings Thursday at the Black Hat computer security conference in Las Vegas. USA TODAY Hacking cars, power plants and rifles at Black Hat The rifles are made by TrackingPoint, a Texas-based company founded by hunters and engineers. Sandvik and Auger came up with several ways to make the computer-assisted rifle miss its target. One involved wirelessly telling the gun that the wind conditions or the ammunition were different from what they actually were, which in turn caused the firing solution to be significantly off. "Using the mobile app, you can say the bullet weighs a lot more than it does, or that it's a super windy day," said Sandvik. They also found it was possible to take control of the rifle's software, permanently changing its targeting variables or making the spotting scope inoperable. TrackingPoint's firearms feature software-enabled shooting scopes and aiming mechanisms that dramatically extend the effective range of the average shooter. There's also a Shot View app that streams video of what the shooter is seeing to a nearby phone. "Being able to see them line up the shot and see what they're doing, it was actually very interesting," Auger said. The researchers emphasized the gun cannot be fired remotely via Wi-Fi or the Internet — the trigger must be pulled manually. Since making their discovery, Sandvik and Auger have been in contact with TrackingPoint. "They've been great to work with," Auger said. In a statement on its website, TrackingPoint said it's investigating the issue and will provide customers with a software update for their weapons "if necessary." The company noted that its guns can only be compromised if the hacker is close to the gun physically. Shooters can continue to use Wi-Fi "if you are confident no hackers are within 100 feet." Both Sandvik and Auger work in computer security, but this research was more a lark and done on their own time. "The reason we started doing this in the first place is because Runa is from Norway, and has a very romanticized image of the United States. So I decided we needed to go to a gun show — there's nothing more American than a gun show," said Auger. They went to one near Washington, D.C., where they live, and went into a TrackingPoint booth. Sandvik started looking through its literature, which stated the firearms' software could be accessed from the customer's phone via Wi-Fi. As computer security professionals, that piqued their interest. "She looked at me and said, 'Can we buy one and hack it?'" Although it had a hefty $16,000 price tag, they purchased the gun and spent the next year taking it and its software apart so they could understand it. Despite their findings, Auger isn't particular worried about the dangers their hack of the TrackingPoint rifle uncovered. First off, there are very few of these guns in current use. "They've sold fewer than 1,000," said Auger. In addition, Sandvik noted that for their hack to work, the gun's Wi-Fi feature had to be turned on "and almost nobody uses the Wi-Fi feature."

Agreed, seeing att do anything productive is weird. Usually they just figure out creative new ways to screw folks out of hard earned money..... Bout 5 years ago I saw 2 lineman sitting under a ez up in lawn chairs watching tv behind their big Kodiak bucket truck in a rural area. Went past a few days later same guys cept they had a hibachi grill going same setup..... Go figure

Y'all are using the wrong system. Mine tells me when misty or Sabrina are on stage at "The catch", and when Deja Vu is having a 2 for one special. Also sends an alert when 556 brass ammo price drops below 275.00 per 1000....

I believe most of the best trainers don't have a slew of videos hanging around the Internet to build a fan base on most of the good trainers have something short straight and to the point on their websites if that or simple and clean and to the point. they're not hard to find. Student critiques seems to be the best source to have or rely on to determine if the training is worthy of the dollar spent or not. Based on this thread and previous input I would put my money with cruel hand Luke any day of the week before anybody else on the Internet. We never hear from Yeager or zero students giving anyone a thumbs up or down just sayin...

Will it be called "Nash Angeles" or "San Franville"??
Dustbuster replied to WindHawk's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
seems like nashvegas has only catered to those who own bars on broadway or will put up an overpriced poor quality hi rise where a country music something was. am so tired of having to take detours everyday because some out of state builder had the street blocked. this used to be a great place to live, now its about dealing w the problems some of the hipster invaders brought with them from the holes they escaped from. went to a meeting over traffic in mid tn. over a million has been spent trying to solve the traffic problem. not one genius at that meeting could see that dav county has over 10 choke points where 5 lanes got to 2 or 1 lane. no one got it until a diagram was drawn on a whiteboard. someone asked how do you get rid of these "choke points"? make the road wider was the simple answer. a member said well we cant do that. my response was really? over 12 hi rise bldngs went up where ever u could cram them by running land owners into the ground, adding lanes to existing roads shouldn't be that much of a challenge, lojac or bell construction will take your money to do it..... rant mode off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, its either this or smoke signals! -
