Mine were black an white, no color illustrations, and had "illegal" indicated all over them. Apparently they were sold at cost on the foreign markets as a part of international scholastic outreach.

Here's the cover of my Digital logic book, and the warning on the back. I found my semiconductor physics book this way too.

For those that are wondering, I didn't realize they were international editions until I got them, and at that point I didn't feel like there was anything I could do about it to stop the "illegal" import of them. I don't really understand how the eventual wherabouts of a copy of a non-classified book can be controlled by copyright law.

Dear Beautiful Mackenzie Morgan (an Actual Girl):

I'd like to sneak up behind you and start fondling you violently and then as you struggle to try to escape I'll take a scientifically-proven magic petrification ray from my bag and zap you with it, and it would first disintegrate all your clothing, leaving you gloriously naked, then it would start the process of transforming your body into marble, inducing in you a massive magically-induced which would be captured eternally as your body is turned into solid stone from the feet up to the head gradually, freezing your final moan of ecstasy as you become a beautiful, cold lifeless statue, but with your mind still alive inside the statue, aware of everything that happens to you. I would put you in display in art museums so that everyone could admire your spectacular naked & petrified teen body, then I would put you on a pedestal in my apartment and admire you constantly, and climb up on the pedestal and make love to your stony form, getting my penis raw & red from the friction, and covering your beautiful hard marble skin with my spooge, my beloved naked-and-petrified queen.

(NOTE: This is just a fantasy; I would not actually do this.)

I could tell you how I know, but then I'd have to kill you.

The updating via Firefox claim is utter tripe. I've tried visiting both the normal Windows Update and Microsoft Update (and Office Update) sites via Firefox and I get redirected to an error page each and every time. The only way the site "works" is when I use IETab or otherwise mask my browser header info.

For an example:

Without IETab enabled:

(Sorry it looks kind of crappy, squashed the screencap into a small jpg with Infranview)

As you can see, Microsoft claiming you can use Firefox for WindowsUpdate is not entirely true.

First of all, your link to the forums goes to a thread about achievement points on the Xbox version of the game. This thread is much more relevant; it's about the rootkit.

Second of all, I, like many other people, was looking forward to Bioshock's release. I, like I hope many other people will do, refuse to buy it now.

Whether people thing of this as FUD or not, the simple matter of the fact is that:

• Bioshock installs software that allows the administrative privilege system of your computer to be subverted. They claim that it's a benefit and they have only good intentions. Maybe, but we all know what the road to hell is paved with. Just because 2K doesn't use their installed software for evil purposes doesn't mean that another hacker's software can't use it to take over a system using privileges that it shouldn't have. When Sony's rootkit distributed on CDs got out into the wild, it didn't take long for other more dangerous software to take advantage of the security hole it created.
• The aforementioned software hides itself from detection and cannot be removed via normal means. This is a massive breach of trust for a software company to a user.

2K Games has A FAQ about SecuROM that is, at best, contradictory in several places. They say:

A "rootkit" can be described as software or a set of software tools intended to conceal running processes, files or system data from the operating system and which can open ports to allow remote access to the system...

SecuROM DOES NOT USE any root kit technology in its implementation. [Their emphasis, not mine.]

However, Sysinternals' RootkitRevealer software begs to differ. Who am I going to trust, a game company that is practicing Defective by Design tactics, or Mark Russinovich, a software engineer who's proven time and again that he is the guru of this stuff, the guy who discovered the infamous Sony rootkit, the guy who knew Windows better than even the Windows people knew Windows, so well that Microsoft bought his company and hired him? I'll gladly cast my lot with Mark any day, even if he does work for Microsoft now.

2K Games also says in its FAQ:

SecuROM does not fingerprint the hardware [of the computer running Bioshock].

They then go on to say:

The only data collected is the serial being used for activation, the IP address used for activation, an identifier for the software being activated, and the hash of the machine ID...

You won't have to reactivate unless you change several pieces of hardware and this will count as one of your 5 allowed computers, if reactivation is required.

Um... If SecuROM doesn't fingerprint my hardware, what is the "machine ID" that a hash is taken of and sent to their servers? And how the hell is it possible that changing several pieces of hardware might result in a required reactivation? The simple answer is, of course, that SecuROM does fingerprint your hardware, and 2K Games lied to our faces in the hopes that computer users who aren't as savvy as us won't get bogged down with the technical details and just read the part where they say that it doesn't fingerprint the hardware.

This is totally inexcusable, and I won't have anything to do with this company. Will the game be cool? Maybe, but nothing is cool enough to install this crap on my computer for. As far as I'm concerned, 2K Games has destroyed its credibility, and they can go to hell for it.

Agreed.

ESPN is a shining example of why bundled packages don't work. ESPN is one of the most expensive channels for cable and sat companies to offer. This is, in part, due to the huge costs associated with the acquisition of broadcasting rights for various sporting events by ESPN.

It is compounded by ESPN's growth model, which is to spawn more specialized sporting channels that they then shuffle semi-major sporting events to. This was done with ESPN-2 and is now being done with ESPN-U. (see here) So if I want more of the specialized channels *I* want, I end up paying more for ESPN channels I could care less about.

The icing on the cake is this - about seven years ago, I paid over $600 for an ATSC/DVB-S receiver in order to pick up HD stations. The sat provider that I went with offered several HD channels for free. Several more channels were added to the HD package over the years, but the cost remained the same. This continued until ESPN-HD arrived. Suddenly, I was asked to pay a small fee to continue to watch all of these channels.

I subscribed to it for a while, but why? Most of the programming on ESPN-HD was simply upconvered NTSC analog programming. So I dumped it. Kept my sat service for a few more months then dumped it completely. Now all I get are local channels, TBS, WGN and Discovery that come free with my cable company's digital cable package.

Both my cable co and my former sat company bombard me with offers for HD PVRs and several months of free service. Why? All of it except for one or two channels is nothing but junk to me. The only way for me to pick and choose is to get a C-band sat, which my HOA would never approve.

So in the end, this cartoon from the CSMonitor sums it all up...

Here, fixed it for you.

As a former d20 writer who might be coming out of retirement, I've been looking for any news I can find about 4e. It seems that they are planning to release the old settings as standalone books at the rate of one per year. You may just see Dark Sun and Planescape again.

The problem is, ask anybody on the street what symbol they associate with Johnson and Johnson, and 95% will say, "Beats the hell outta me."

These things resemble the military robots from the movie Short Circuit.

It's amazing how many ideas from movies get put into production.

(Please excuse the huge screenshot... I took it mostly to brag about my humongous amounts of desktop space)

This is the way my fonts are set up right now. Bitstream Vera Sans 8pt with AA and subpixel hinting at 96dpi. I've never seen a single OSX or Windows screenshot with fonts this nice (provided you use an RGB pixel LCD monitor, of course).

The terminal font is Terminus 9pt, btw. I like it even more than the standard X Fixed font. Irssi is extremely easy on the eyes and it's slightly thinner than Fixed so you'll be able to fit a few more columns in each term ;-)

I still use Helvetica for file names in Konqueror. I don't know why, it just feels right somehow.

I'm getting a slight graphical error of what I would assume is a CSS error. I tried it out in Firefox but not Opera - only shows up in Opera. What happens is that the coloured bar doesn't completely wrap around when viewing in a non-fullscreen mode.

Since I keep my taskbar at the side and off auto-hide, it's a constant error. Also happens if I decide to view the page in windowed mode: screenshot. There are also other wrapping issues in Opera =\

You'd have a source of carbon right from the CO2 in the air around production

Heh, now just combine this with nanobot and neural network technology and you'd have a self improving system, maybe even expanding at Moore's law's speed. You can increase the progress by breathing on it or doing sports in the vicinity. I wonder how many blows it will take until it becomes self-aware ;)

I think they'd just need a chlorophyl machine to do that.

I find the idea of organic circuits interesting, but chlorophyll or photosynthesizing nanobots will only work with sunlight so that would destroy the whole computer-case manufacturing industry as well as case modding and we'd have to program the AI of the board to maintain a group of "military" nanobots to detect and subdue other organisms that interfere with the optimal collection of sunlight. I think it's cheaper and more practical (and more peaceful) just to use the power from the outlet (and put a few solar panels on the roof) instead.

Wikiality bites.

So says Stephen Colbert.

Britannica should also check its facts about elephant populations. I heard it has tripled.

I am a new comcast customer actually, and I havn't had many problems. I'm on their 20/mo 6mo for 6mbps plan in the pittsburgh area, and aside from every other week the modem needing reset (I went to walmart and bought a surfboard, did self install) I am happy with the service.

How many people would accept free chocolate from a random person on the street, even if he did not ask for their password?

As a possibly amusing postscript, I just heard that my 9500, which has been given to Nokia Service Centre no less than eight months ago for the Infamous Hinge Crack problem, was finally replaced by a refurbished model after seven or eight trips to and from the main Nokia Repair Centre in the UK.

I went to pick up said refurbished model at the service centre. The staff there (who are very good, by the way; the one great thing to come out of this whole mess is that I've found the definitive excellent mobile repair shop) unwrapped the replacement, opened the phone - and you probably wouldn't believe this if I told you, so here's photographic evidence (compare with stock photo).

Notice something missing? A certain lack of QWERTY? :-P

Bear in mind that Nokia are aware I've been waiting since November for this repair to be completed. They have accepted that the repair should be done under warranty, and that the phone's warranty is current. They have even released a bulletin stating that this sort of repair should be covered by warranty, because this problem occurs so frequently. They are aware that trading standards have been contacted on this issue. And yet they still send back this diamond-plated 'fuck you'.

As far as I am concerned, Apple will find it difficult not to eclipse the competition in terms of customer service :-)

All you had to do was turn up the gamma!

I happen to think it's the only philosophy with any hope of not allowing thugs and scammers to prosper. Everything else seems to put the thugs and scammers in charge.

Also remember that the non-aggression principle isn't pacifism, I believe in dealing with aggressors quickly, decisively, and (if necessary) brutally.

Everyday I go prepared to defend my life if necessary. In the long run, fighting predatory criminals is much less risky than kowtowing to them. The only way you can expect to be treated as a free man is to act like one.

This?

EvE is a well established game. In EvE, characters advance by in game time, thus the older a character is, the more powerful it is. So how is it surprising that developers grow close ties with the older, established players? Those are the ones who have been around since the start. On the eve-o forums, one of the high-ups in the best alliance in the game, Band of Brothers, is repeatedly stating that the developers are friends with BoB members.

Here's an example: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u162/grover2828 /510.jpg

This is simply to be expected in a game where developers play the game along with players, and further, where the company recruits its GMs from the playerbase.

It's not worth it to modify the hardware. It might be easier to put the thing in a fancy wooden case of some sort to hide the base.

If you do it right, you can make it look like a jewelery box, with, um, a screen sticking out of the back. Ok, the idea needs work.

That's exactly how I did it. I bought a wooden shadow box and finished it. I still had to heavily modify the laptop to get the screen to flip all the way around, and also fit securely in the box. I also had to write a number of scripts to support the wireless connectivity, handle the automatic startup, manage the photos, and deal with sudden unexpected shutdown. All in all, the project took the better part of a month of my free time to complete. It was certainly fun to do, but it's definitely not easy. Even less so if you have no scripting skills or any experience taking hardware apart. Oh, and the end result was like 10 pounds, not including the A/C adapter.

I used to work for an electronics recycling company, trueCycle.

Not the most scrupulous incorporation in the high desert, but we processed a LOT.

A good day would have us processing 10 tons (20,000 pounds) of various electronics, most of it selling to final-stage processors for $0.10 to somewhere $1.00 per pound, depending on which gaylord (motherboards, transformers, glass, CPUs, HDDs, etc) and of course the fluctuations in the volatile commodities market.

The biggest cash cow, of course, was leaded CRT glass - thanks to SB20 and SB50, our processing of CRT glass was subsidised and we received a flat rate of $0.48 per pound on just that, smashed or not smashed. This was lucrative due to the commonality of monitors and the density of the glass, as well as the fact that at any given time we had 10 guys with clawhammers and pneumatic screwdrivers absolutely tearing everything up that I let them get their hands on.

I worked as Quality Assurance, assessing pallets as they came in and rescuing the good stuff, as well as miscellaneous server and network administration work. You know, the usual stuff when your department knows more about computers than the entire rest of the company, which happened to be too cheap for a dedicated IT staff and commensurate payroll. While I did indeed fix up more than a few computers for eBay and local buyers, the 90% discount and the general poor condition of incoming electronics as well as poor working conditions, chronic understaffing, and a tragic lack of space made resurrecting computers a very small portion of the revenue stream.

Selling components was a lot more successful, and I always argued for doing this with my coworkers and supervisors. We would sell hundreds of thoroughly-tested HDDs, video cards, RAM sticks, and CPUs of all types at a time. It amazed me at the time (2005-2006) to see how many people were still interested in 10GB drives, 64MB PC100 sticks, and GeForce2 MX cards.

My favourite part of the job, however, was finding and rescuing antique/vintage computing equipment. The contract with Dreamworks was also pretty exciting, although 99% of it ended up as unrecognisable scrap. I found myself face to face with an SGI Iris 4D and an even larger system in bad shape that I could not identify, as well as several battered workstations (one labeled "FOONLY" in obvious homage).

Great Scott!!

It matches the original Transformers movie as well. I dunno about you, but for me, the only thing Spike did worth noting was yell "Oh shit!". Not something I'd want to be remembered forever for.
