I think it's because he was the only one accessing TOR on a monitored network during the specific time.

Almost certainly.

I'm at reasonably large (~15000 students on-campus), and a friend using TOR to do ... something ... got caught not because he was the only one using TOR at the time, but because he was the only one using TOR, ever -- it was just too obvious.

Reminds me of this XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1105/

How did they know the something was done by someone using TOR on their network?

There's a list of IPs that TOR networks run on, so they could just cross reference that.

tor exit nodes are easy to identify, if they had the co-operation of site.com then they'd not see the location, but they'd see the exit node.

I can understand they can the attack was done through Tor, what I don't understand is how they understood the attack originated on their own network through Tor.

It came from a TOR ip.

Good old Signal Intelligence.

Wait, you have both a MacBook Air and a PowerBook and you're using the PowerBook?

But that aside, I think the ThinkPad is great. I might try that for my next purchase, if the specs are comparable by the time my current laptop becomes obsolete.

Jagged Alliance Online.

The game was advertised as it works on OSX, but it doesn't work on Mavericks, and still has issues in other cat versions. Read here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/218450/discussions/0/846955554...

It's a huge part in terms of being able to demoralize troops, and soften up some dug in targets.

Any ideas on what the issue is/was?

No idea, they don't seem to have made that public. But seeing as more and more outside US processors stop catering to US businesses and customers it's not hard to see why.

Edit: Funny thing is that they didn't even bother sending an email, found about it from one of the forums i follow...

The way they put it on their weblog, their partners in the US stopped. It does seem to have anything to do with "[...] more outside US processors stop catering to US businesses and customers [...]".

Never heard of Payza until now. That much will affect me.

The Payza name is a bit new, it's the former AlertPay.

> But seeing as more and more outside US processors stop catering to US businesses and customers it's not hard to see why.

Would you care to elucidate?

AFAICS:

1. There's a very high regulatory burden.

2. It's practically impossible to run a payment processor in the U.S. without getting funds frozen. PayPal is as successful as it is in part because they built a giant machine-learning monstrosity to automatically detect and deal with fraud (and it's full of false positives, but they consider that just a cost of doing business on the U.S. Internet).

I see, thank you.

There were reports that the funds in their U.S. providers account were seized by DHS a week or two ago.

Their U.S. provider was, according to them, Obopay/Ultralight, but Obopay/Ultralight said that Payza was lying about their relationship. I never could find a good explanation.

This link has a lot of info, but I have no idea what is accurate.

Thanks for that, enough to say i didn't receive the "email" they sent to their US customers, it may have got lost on the "interwebs".

I know that this person wasn't doing this, but would it be feasible to charge the car up at school, and then once at home use the car as a generator to save on his electricity bill?

Reminds me of http://www.corebizcentres.com/

It's clean, but I just don't find it very memorable, or unique.

I'm very happy with the service, and I would recommend it to anyone who's a bit more capable in configuring their needs.

Shuttle Launch Detected.

While this is very neat, the thing is most people who are productive on the computer, tend to never look at the keys they strike.

Mechanical keyboards are great because it imparts a tactile feel, this keyboard on the other hand displays something off from my vision.
