As someone who actually DID wear one of these during gym class (our whole class did for about 2 weeks), I can personally say that there is nothing wrong with them, they are a GREAT teaching tool and it helps you learn just HOW hard you need to run to actually achieve a proper work-out heart rate.
I don't understand why the school is making parents pay for the strap (I'm assuming the school supplies the actual reader). We simply washed the strap off in the sink after using it and it was just fine.
As for privacy concerns, SERIOUSLY? These things simply record your heartrate and display it on the watch (wireless). At the end of class, you hit a few buttons and it tells you how much time you spent above your target heartrate and a few other VERY simply, yet usefull stats. Then you hit "reset" and it's gone.
Actually, yes it is. We live near Vancouver and lots of American companies like to shoot America-based movies/tv shows here. The biggest long-running one here is Smallville, though they have been pretty good at finding the mapple leaves in that one...
Who said the USA has the best health insurance in the world? Believe it or not, the rest of the world actually makes fun of it. Now CANADA on the other hand...
There is a HUGE difference between detecting copyright violations (for which no filter is in place) and detecting outgoing mass-mailing and DOS attacks.
Any network admin worth the lunch they bring in every day can find a seriously malware infected machine in about 10 minutes.
Hell, residential cable here in the Southwest is 28Mbit and even that is considered pathetically slow to the 100Mbit I have at work which is about par with residential Internet in South Korea or Japan.
Last I checked, the RIAA does not own the CD I bought. That CD is now *mine* and they do NOT own it. All they own are the rights to written lyrics/music sheets used to create the performance (performances can not be copyrighted by the way) that was recorded and then copied onto the CD that I bought.
Where I live lots of movie companies use our schools for movies. The students like to hide little national flags EVERYWHERE in the school when they know a shoot is coming. The students then all rent the movie and try to find all the flags that post-production misses. Believe me, they miss A LOT of them. They have been hidden inside clocks, window corners, door edges, and all sort of places.

The card that 4GB on it (pidgeon) and took 1 Hour. The DSL line transfered 4% of that (163.84MB) in 2 hours (double the time) before I'm assuming they gave up and cancelled the upload.
Don't Microsoft (EULA), Apple (MacOS hardware restrictions), the RIAA (private copying) and the MPAA (Bluray/DVD Encoding) already have their own private version of copyright law?
Actually, it is against the law for artists (or their representatives) to pay radio/tv stations to play their music. It is called "Payola" and was a HUGE problem a while back. Believe it or not, radio/tv stations pay to play the stuff, just like the rest of us.
Artists/producers can pay for advertising about a new album, but not to play the actual music.
I'm half tempted to sign up, then give everyone ubuntu disks and use the 7 disk as a coaster. Then pray that Steve does pick my house. I would LOVE to see his face.

I was refering to ISP sys-admins monitoring machines owned by Households. A little harder to keep those protected...
He was talking about a windows box...

tech support: Are you using irc/running your own mail server?
alice: I don't know what irc is!
3 hours later...
bob: alice, what happened to our internet? I couldn't connect to our server from work today.
alice: server?

If the malware writers decreased their bandwidth and stopped sending mass mailouts, I don't think there would be a NEED to detect them!
Are you arguing symatics (the \ not being part of the drive name) or did I just get whooshed?

I HATE YOU!

And when your air freshener just "happens" to completely block the camera...?

That all depends on what software you have installed on your server. Unless you meant server *software* doesn't.
It's called central park. Or more specifically, the tree above your car.

A turtle that dies of exaustion in front a stop sign is technically "correct", but it doesn't mean the sign had anything to do with it.

It's like the new "in" thing, everyone wants one.

NO, absolutely NOT. Copying for personal use has always been a right. The tax allows us to let a friend copy one of our cd's for THEIR use.
Exactly. All usb/serial devices appear as /dev/ttyUSBX where X is from 0 to n.
/dev/ttyUSB0
So if you have 1 adapter, it would be
Just make sure the adapter is plugged in BEFORE you boot it up, or the machine won't see it when it tries to create the console tunnel.

Note to self: bolt all chairs to the floor.
To be fair, the windows users didn't pay the hardware premium at the beginning.
Better to only have 5% show up and leave healthy than have 99% show up and ALL leave with a dissease!
You could even turn off the lights and feel the familiar warmth of the soft blue glow coming from all the monitors.
