Re: Let's Play D3 Break Out! Round #16!
I'd suggest trying Glasshouse Breakout, if you can get it to work for everyone. The layout of that level makes for some fantastic "freedom runs" to free teammates.

Re: Encryption
My understanding is that the generated encryption key isn't created just as a function of the passcode. It's also a function of a hardcoded key in the phone's hardware that isn't directly retrievable. Without knowing the hardcoded key, you would have to search the entire keyspace of whatever encryp...

Re: you don't have to vote for them,
It's across the U.S., as far as I know. According to Wiki , the FCC requires U.S. cable companies to support CableCard 2.0. Cable companies challenged this, but it went into effect in 2007. As to whether or not it ended up encouraging competition and innovation, I'm not sure. There are a number of t...
