Physical access to your machine trumps whatever you could do. As mentioned hardware attachments or firmware changes could be used. Mounting the drive in a different computer to install software is also easy (why not replace the kernel? and any hashes for the kernel you have stored).
My guess is that Halo 2 attempts to do some action impossible with a normal xbox but works fine if it was modded, this has the benifit of no matter which method is used to unlock the xbox it will be discovered. It will at least raise the bar for unlocking xbox's from now on.
Often the used nuclear material is worse than the mined material so it makes it unsuitable to place it back in the mine. However with some caution and added facilities it would make a good place. I however would not like the waste brought back to kakadu national park.

Please explain how having the mugshots and fingerprints of everyone who enters the US would help prevent terrorism? I'm sure it would not have helped stop September 11, oh but it would help catch them, wait they are dead. Well we could just scan for people who are "ethnic" and then make sure they don't do anything or consider them as accomplices.
Put bluntly Yes you were to quick to judge. The best part of the game is that it can be so different to regular FPS. How many FPS give you the option of not killing anyone? And I mean not being able to kill anyone. Combined with a great story which you would have missed with only a bit of game play.
I used this technique with keyboards (Yes some keyboards have EULAs) I was buying a fairly expensive keyboard with some "features" that may get in the way. I was indeed correct so I returned the keyboard saying I did not agree to the EULA and got a different keyboard. (All the time I used the keyboard I did not install thier software and so I really never agreed to the EULA)
I have one of these (part of my research) and it uses the US pager system. This is why the devices are so expensive since there is no monthly fee the device ust include the cost of sending all of those pages upfront.

Remember it is not just a hassle for the creator of the email address. It is also a pain in the ass for everyone else. I for one hope I never have to send an email to someone doing that type of masking. How many of us non americans know what the capital of new york state is? I for one will not be looking it up unless I really need to email you.
Don't tell us what we can have, and still expect us to open our wallets. We won't.
I am afraid to say that history has proven you wrong on that count. The current society we live in your worth is determained by the amount of money you have. How can we show how much money we have? By buying luxuries. Being a luxury we don't need it so all we really care about is that it costs a lot and we can parade it in front of others. How many people do you know that need a SUV? A HDTV reciever? Those new Assasins? (Assasins are shoes from the simpsons)
Firstly as others have pointed out AUstralia is about as big as the US. But additionally since this road race is not really a race but a rally no cars can break any road rules so no speeding where speedlimits exist and there is other traffic besides the contestants.
I can see it now: The dutch car stuck behind some slow family on a vacation in a caravan taking up the middle of the road.
I remeber the outrage that by taking out one telephone exchange you could sever the east and west coasts of Australia during the olypics. And IIRC taking out another 4 centres would disconnect Australia from the world.
I'm pretty sure that the country can do whatever they want regarding "Air space" policy. A case in point is France where some of the WiFi spectrum is off limits due to it already being used by the military. Most countries have this gap in the ranges because it is not a very good transmition band due to it being the resonant frequency of water. So they usually just skip it and classify the next higher band for use. The only reason it is free is because no one wanted to buy it. Now people do so it is only logical some countries will begin charging for the use of that space. For logistical reasons they will charge the company that sells the devices and probably will not charge the end user.
Australian Uni's charge citizens only 6000 a year for a medical degree, less for others. If you pay upfront then it costs 25% less per year. Considering our universities are considered very good worldwide it is not like you are going to a crappy university. Talking to exchange students, in both directions, they find our work much harder than American universities work. BUT you say... I don't want to be an Australian. OK it just costs you more to atend the university approx 15k per year and you have to pay it upfront. I have a friend who is doing this she moved and is living in Australia and it is much cheaper than going to an American university and they feel they are getting a better education.
Every thing is cheaper in Australia, rent ($340 per week CBD of largest city), milk $1 per litre, Big mac are Big, etc.
Best of all you get to learn the metric system:P
BTW all cost are in Australian dollars ~= 63 US cents (at current exchange, usually about 50c).
This reminds me of what happened in Australia. We have a system called TER (tertiary entrance rank) which is effectivly a mark out of 100 that is a bell curve with an median of 50. It has the same importance as SATs. We used the system for many years but then results started getting published in newspapers. Each year there were complaints about the education system not performing well enough, since there were always half of the students getting under 50. Surely in a good system this would improve. Now we have a UAI (university admmision index) which each year is artificially inflated further. A UAI of 70 last year would get ~72 this year. How long can that continue?
The simplest and most enjoyable way is to simply increse the chances of line of sight.

How about game makers or other highly CPU intensive program makers use it as a cartridge slot. Sure it needs to be moved so that it is in a good position. Remember the old computers that could play megadrive games. Do this but the cartridge is actually some sort of dedicated hardware for use by the application. Make them hot swapable and it would be great. Hmm need some more graphics power plug in my graphics cartridge. Need to do some DSP plug in a different cartridge. We really need a versitle port for something like this.
A free market you say well I must of missed the new story where the US decided to lift tarrifs and stop subsidising its own products. The US is a protected economy If it were free then alot of these companys would have been bankrupt a lot earlier.
Firstly if "I got jailed for being a member of an Al-Qaida spin-off cell" do you think that I would have access to a machine to post on slashdot in a top security prison or not?
Secondly if laws are abused too early then there will be an uprising against it. But if it is part of our way of life for a few years then slowly more encroaching laws are introduced and the lod ones start becomming abused.
Who cares whether or not they are holding "Americans" without trial the simple fact that they are doing it at all shows that the government is hypocritical. It sickens me to think that its bad beacause its happening to an American. Americans need to understand that the rest of the world are just as important.

Well obviously it does not work well in external doorways. Duh.
