This isn't it, but it could be done well and complete with Netflix. If the hard drives were the *same* price loaded with movies as empty, and you can "rent" movies by downloading a key. You end up with a similar user experience as with Netflix or cable "on-demand" movies. Sure, you have a small selection *but* you can "rent" movies almost instantly, even with dialup or cell-phone based internet.
The faster you can go, the farther you can live [from the city], the farther your income stretches, the happier you are.
Oh god, you seriously buy that? My inlaws commute almost two hours a day through traffic to get into Toronto and back. I wouldn't exactly call that a "happy" existence.
Yes, they do "fuck up good traffic flow" and in fact break the law in many places by driving in the left lane. However, they are not endangering lives like the aggressive and reckless drivers breaking other laws. It's important to keep that difference in context.
But street parking increases pedestrian injuries (blind crossings) as well as cyclist injuries (dooring). Choosing the best way to reduce speed is appropriate here.
I've never understood hardware encryption USB drives. They still require you to trust the computer they are connected too, and with software encryption on modern computers, USB throughput is the bottleneck and CPU load is minimal.
I seem to remember one "secure USB drive" that used encryption, but every device had the same key, the software just sent a proprietary signal to the device to decrypt and it obeyed.
The only sane society is one in which any adult citizen is capable of understanding or even justifying the entire set of laws pertaining to him or her.
If you release some toxic gas from your house in sufficient quantities to impact the health of your neighbors then, yes, you will likely face a losing court battle. In the case of EM and curry, I'm sure they would have a hard time proving in court that they are, in fact, being made ill by your proximity.
What the f*** man? It's an encyclopedia. It's supposed to document and categorize the current state of knowledge, not question and critique that knowledge. Thats for Science and Philosophy. You want to do that, read peer reviewed literature.
Btw. I'm in the process of asking a "tough question." I'm three years into a five year process of doing that and I would suggest you don't try that for every single topic you come across.
I always get the impression that such strong anti-Wikipedia commenters are the sort of people who, at least used to, take anything written in ink at face value. Few people develop critical thinking skills, and when criticism is brought out into the open, they become frustrated. I read peer-reviewed scientific papers published in established and respected journals on a regular basis and I rarely find a paper that I consider entirely well written and free of obvious error.
NX (nxmachine or FreeNX). Very fast, cross platform, uses SSH for encryption, has a Free version. I used to use it to connect to work from home over a laggy "light" DSL account.
When you buy from iTunes, Amazon, you (probably) have the expressed written consent (i.e., end user agreement) to copy to music to a music playing device device.
Sites like Magnatune give you a licence to copy to as many devices as you like (even other people's devices).
The tax doesn't cover file sharing. It only covers private copying of purchased music to a blank cd or, in this case, an mp3 player. This is no longer the only way, or likely the most common way, to fill up a mp3 player, so taxing them as such is just plain dumb.

Great, now everyone will believe they are supertaskers along with being "good drivers" and above average intelligence.
Good thing you cite motorists.org rather than some, you know, reputable source?

Not to him (usually).

The real test would be to publish the specs. If the security can't stand that test, then it's no good in the first place.

Too bad that society doesn't exist on earth.
Standard software encryption beats that guy.

Because mental illness can easily be beaten simply be proving to the victim that they are wrong...
I'm not allowed to blast my Stereo loud enough to bother my neighbors all night. Then again, humans *can actually* perceive sound.

In fact, I would love it if my Library had several consoles and a collection of games for lend from 10 or 20 years ago.
Not only that, they were first conceived 62 years ago!

Who cares whether *they* are credible? What matters is if their *sources* are credible -and that is in plain sight.
Willful ignorance, for all practical purposes, is the same as stupidity.
I hope you have posted that essay somewhere else as well. It would be a shame if all that work went into a /. post that few Canadians will read.

Zero increase in security + inconvenience. You don't happen to work at a bank or for the TSA do you?
