It's easier because it is impossible to protect something that is encryped when you give/sell millions of decryption tools to the general public. One of the main tenets of security is that you can not trust the client. It's an across the board rule that applies wether we are trying to stop cheating at quake or trying to limit when a person can decrypt something with the tools we give them.
but $500 for a good coat is well worth the price
Obviously someone who has cold weather experience. I paid ~C$650 for my three layer (fleece and down liners; double layer gore-tex shell) winter jacket and at the same store one can easily spend double that. Good sampling of medium high end winter wear at Mountain Equipment Co-op
If this clothing looks like over kill you probably shouldn't be out in the wilderness in real winter.
Nikon's new cameras already do this. Nikon's D series lenses coupled with a 3D flash unit and D Series ready camera body use the distance to the focused subject to determine best flash output.
You want to use swap so that the disk seeks alot. Anyone who's doing this isn't too worried about the occasional crash. If it happens remove the disk and say "Gee that was fun while it lasted:)". Not everything done on computers is mission critical.
Yah that was the point. The Model A was a vast improvement over the T just like this proposed system would be a vast improvement over napster.
This is a keen glance at the future with enormous consequences -- unless copyright law is drastically extended, a clever hardware hack a decade from now could be the Model A to Napster's Model T.
It's an absorbtion system. They can run off of any heat source (LPG, electric element, even solar and bonfire charged). The Kerosene ones are really rare and can command a good buck from the right buyer. For more information (including plans on how to roll your own) see Homebuilt IcyBall
Yah, Kudos to Sony. I written them a few times to encourge them to keep up this method. Now if they could only get a clue about so many other things they do.
It never ceases to amaze me that just about anything you can think of is a fetish item for a large enough group of people that they not only have their own web sites; they also support a porn market for those items.
i can honestly say the only pain i feel is in my *fingers* (go figure).
Probably because you use one of those crappy membrane keyboards that OEM supply with new computers (bulk price $7). The pain is from your finger tips slamming into the key when the key bottoms out.
Try to find a buckling spring keyboard. The best ones were made by/for IBM and they run around US$130 and $5 in the used bargin bin. These keyboards are basicly IBM Electric typewriter keyboards in a computer keyboard housing and are vastly superior to any other conventional keyboard I've tried. Don't sweat the cost though because they do not wear out. I've been useing the same one for over five years and it was abused in an academic computing lab before that.
In NT, you need to be an Administrator to do that kinda stuff. Not a User.
This is true. However take a little poll of the NT users you know. Most are runnning with local administrator rights. "Why?" you ask. Because most programs do not function correctly otherwise. I have to secure NT machines in an academic enviroment and it blows me away how many major apps *cough* AutoDesk *cough* assume the user has not only local admin rights but is the only user of that machine. Everytime a new version of an application comes out I have to spend hours tweaking it to get it to run on a locked down multi user workstation.
Interesting, one of the things on my "Top ten reasons to hate IE" is the fact that if I have a couple dozen websites open there are 24+ IE icons on my task bar. MDI Much better for me. Maybe this should be a poll question.

emacs and vi being two. The problem with these editors is that real programmers consider "what you see is what you get' to be just as bad a concept in text editors as it is in women. No the real programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor - complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous- TECO, to be precise.
More likely is that the Nasa.com guys forgot to pay their bill. After all they let Whitehouse.com exist. It's my favourite site for those who think you can't get to porn on the net by accident.
Then I wouldn't go there the same as I don't do to nytimes. I guess I just have a low iritation acceptance quotient. A web site that irritates me is one that I don't visit. It's not like any of these places have the exclusive on wire stories.
Welcome to the web as it's supposed to be. The idea that sites should make a profit on the web is morally wrong IMHO. Maybe after the colapse of the commericialized Information Superhighway we can get back to peer to peer sharing of ideas and information. Call me elitist but personally I'm rooting for the collapse of AOL, MSN and thier ilk with the eventual hope that the September that never ended finally comes to an end.
Yah, Wasn't this originally on a gopher site? I remember having to download the pictures to disk and display them on a PC because the VAX terminal I was using couldn't display pictures and none of the PCs had net access.
Why don't we just go back to the web "stone ages" and use Mozilla 1.0? So much for the evolving web.
Doesn't sound bad to me. I'm practicaly there anyways. I use a filtering proxy to dispose of ads and I've turned off all scripting and animation. I don't accept most cookies. I override server supplied colours to make text black and windows light grey. I often turn off image loading. It amazes me how speedy and useful the web is without all the jazz. Every once aand a while I can't navigate a site properly which usually means I don't go there. Rarely is the content that important or exclusive to modivate me to surf unprotected.
The ADA is probably a slam dunk to win a case against american companies that block access if you don't load images. Blind people use screen readers for access and they rarely are setup to load images.
. When online advertising started getting really annoying and very difficult to just ignore, I got serious about blocking the ads.
This is exactly why I started using the Prox. Some site I visited everyday (I think it was ZdNet) started displaying an ad that had a animation of a mouse pointer. Made the content of the page unreadable because every 3 secs my eye was drawn to the moving mouse pointer. Three days later the Prox was installed and I haven't seen an ad since. User Friendly being the only exception. They've done something recently that stops everthing but the logo from display unless I bypass my proxy. Their ads aren't annoying so I haven't bothered to fix it yet.
sarcasm mode on That orginal mouse pointer ad sure was effective though. /sarcasm
Yes I do, Because theis is the internet after all not a super market. Companies are free to share whatever information they want in any way they want; however, I can take that information and do with it what I please. If they don't like it they can take their ball and go home. I personally prefered the net before the september that never ended. The Internet was cool. But the Online, Cyberspace, Information Super Web is not. And the less comercialisation the better.
I work for a school that teaches (among other things) AutoCAD and assorted other CAD programs. Our major problem is students will exchange email and IM during exams for which they obviously require computer access. We've created a special ID that can only run certian executables and instructors require the user to login as that user during exams. I know it wouldn't stop most people here; however it seems to keep the honest people honest.

Now that does sound cool. That's the problem with modern computers, not enough art.

That's 'cause there is so much weird stuff for DOS. One needed most of it to be even half way productive.
Yah, Besides which real men toggle the bootloader from the front panel. :)
