Be careful, trackballs are NOTORIOUS for inducing "trigger thumb". By grandmother had a trackball for 10+ years and really messed up her right thumb. After seeing a doctor (who told her about trackballs), she got a regular mouse. about month later her trigger thumb was completely gone and has never come back.
Ok, I see your point, but I still think it's flawed. If you just hand money over to corporations so they don't fail, those corporations are going to use that money the same way they used the money the earned...badly. If, however, we pay the employees (who are layed off), the companies will realize the fucked up, and change their business plans. The coporations will lose some money (short term), the layed off employees will get some money till they find new jobs and the corporations will finally learn that daddy-USA is not going to bail them out every time they screw up.
Assuming (hoping) that these are *nix machines, and he has SSH access into them, the retail outlet shouldn't have to do anything. Just write a script that knows the location of the encryption key and have it decrypt and store the files. rTorrent has all the available functionality to run scripts after completing a torrent even after moving said completed torrent to another location (separate hard drive, etc).
Overlooking the fact that mailing potentially secret confidential files with the postal service is a bad idea, why use USB sticks?
If you were to use the postal service (which I highly discourage), why not use DVD's. They are over 4GB, WAY cheaper and you don't have to worry about them getting erased.
Also, you could set up the server to have a "Read-Only" DVD drive, so no-one could use the new hardware to DOWNLOAD files OFF the server.
Have you seen the bullshit that is going on in our political system right now?!? You think the Bush election was messed up, we elected a Prime Minister over a month ago and now the losing government parties are trying to decide who will become Prime Minister... Personally, I'm not sure which office, let alone which department to send my complaints to. At this rate, the parliament buildings will be moved to Saskatchewan because they can't fit all the elected and imposed Prime Ministers into Ottawa.
I'm sorry, why do people keep mentioning some of the worst canadian talent whenever people mention Canada? Have they not heard of all the actual talent that comes out of here?
There is a local radiostation (CFOX) that does a yearly talent search type content (Fox Seeds Bands) and turns out some AMAZING talent. These include Murray Atkinson, Biff Naked and others.
Although I guess I could always look at American talent by bringing up Britney Spears, the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys...
Have you looked at the Nokia N-Series (N700/N800)? Most of their phones run linux out of the box, with root access only a "apt-get install chroot" away.
I have the N810 (ok, not actually a phone, but same line) and it runs maemo (debian derivative) by default. I have full root access, can SSH into it remotely, do rDesktop, add custom repositories, install deb files, etc. Basically it's a linux computer that fits in your pocket!
Sorry about going a little offtarget here, but out of all the computers I have had to fix, I haven't found a virus I couldn't get rid of yet!
In fact the only thing I have ever failed to get rid of is NORTON!!! I uninstalled it from a machine quite a few years ago, 6 months later I installed Tribes. Tribes required an update to connect to 90% of the servers. While installing said update I got "File c:\....\Symantec\Norton...\somefile.dll" is missing. The only way I could fix it was to create an empty text file (with notepad) called "somefile.dll".
I would rather remove 300 trojans, viruses and worms from an unprotected horse porn machine than try to uninstall a legitimate copy of Norton Antivirus.
If it's multiple choice, take out an add that holds the answers to the test at given intervals (every 4th, 9th and 11th letter which is below E), etc.
I heard a story about a bunch of students who went into an exam with new color beaded bracelets. A white bead at the 6th intervals (for clarity), then 4 colors to tell A/B/C/D. They simply rotated the bracelets to get the answers. The only reason they got caught was some idiot bragged about it.
Eg: Red, Blue, Green, Orange, White, Blue, Red, Green, Green becomes A, B, C, D, B, A, C, C

You, my friend, have WAY to much time on your hands...
Whoooosh...

Umm, I'm running 8.10 and it was on.
I did a fresh install of ubuntu, but restored my old home folder. I would think the settings would be system wide, not stored in the home folder...
If they always supported open source, then why do all their laptops have ATI graphics cards, Broadcom Wireless cards and Intel sound systems?
That would imply 1 = 0! Pure nonsense!
Yeah, everyone knows you can't change the value of an instance variable!.
Well, so much for my Canadian-hosted Asian foods website...

Actually no. The closest thing I to a weapon that I own would be my collection of pocket knives which I use for my camping expeditions.
Some religions also practice Rape, Sacrifice and the Marrying-off of pre-pubescent children. I guess we should legalize those as well...
I'm in favor of legalizing anything that's not physically addictive and destructive for the majority of the population.
There, fixed that for you. I mean, can you imagine trying to take away peoples'
Now I'm not positive about marajuana, but as for Coke, Heroine and Meth; a single use is usually all it takes to become an addict.
If you ask any cop, he will tell you that there is no such thing as a casual coke/heroine/meth user, only addicts. Once you do it, you don't stop.
Now there are RARE cases of people who only do it a few times, but they are RARE. Please don't confuse recreational drugs with brain-rewriting poison.
As a taxpayer I do not want to have to pay for:

That's ok, just get someone else to do it. You are safe because you didn't jailbreak it and they are safe because they didn't agree to anything!
Damn You! Damn You To Hell!!!
Aimbots would imply that they know exactly where their intended target is. I would consider it more like god mode with noclip and a BFG!
Too bad Windows only has a Recyling bin...

...have most schools corrected course and are now being necessarily cruel to their Computer Science students?
Buddy, we have 6 assignments, 2 quizes and an industry project presentation this due week.
You tell me!
