I am not sure if the Xbox was for the same reason, but the PS2 could not be exported to certain countries and could not be manufactured in China due to the exceptional 'dual use' potential of the console. I have heard that it could be used for many military uses from guidance systems to low-cost/high density simulators. Nice writeup here.
My Xbox is more than dual use now that I have it with FTP, shoutcast, and full media-center capabilities....
a similar-era ENIAC resides in a basement museum in the Engineering School at the University of Michigan
You beat me to it. I wanted bragging rights! Is it in a basement museum now? It used to be in the EECS bldg right in an inset in one of the halls. Well, I suppose the entire thing was not there, I imagine it would be too big.
I use FreshDirect in New York and it rocks. The produce is generally better than if I picked it out at the store. Things are fresher, and I can get a better selection of brands. Oh, and including delivery charge, ($3) it ranges 8 - 10% less than the ghetto-style grocery store at my corner! No lines, no cramped aisles, no moody checkout clerks, no overcharging...
The delivery times are really good and it is next-day service. I will never go back to regular shopping again. This is like when I got my Tivo; completely revolutionizes everyday tasks.
Our Chinese clients started complaining that they no longer had access to our US based FTP server and e-mail addresses just last week. Turns out, China blocked the DNS servers that our ISP uses! Great... yippee.
We are switching ISPs anyway, so I am not terribly concerned, I just think this is wildly hypocritical.
That is funny, we have never had a Spyware problem on our LAN in the last 8 months (since I got to this site) until just last week. I think it was Wednesday. Anyway, it takes one event on the PC which in turn installs about 14 pieces of spyware such as Bargain Buddy, Lycos SideSearch, Purity, ClockSync etc etc... ALL AT ONCE! Now, I have had 5 machines out of about 150 show up with it. NAV does not detect anthing but a generic Backdoor.Trojan in the temp internet files for the user and it quarantines it however that does not stop the problem. I have used HijackThis, CWShredder, and Spybot to clear the machines but it still involves about 20 minutes of manual removal files to clean the machine completely. I wonder if this is something new?
Oh, and for what it is worth, these issues exposed a problem in our SUS update service so the affected machines were not patched for about a month which explains the ability to 'infect'. I guess I am glad that it is just some messy Spamware that I can re-image a few machines instead of a beastly worm that gets the entire site in 5 minutes!
D'oh! I should have put spoiler on it. Of course, not like you can do anything remotely related to NBC without seeing it all over the place. Well, at least I did not tell you about the 21 virgins he got...
So that is how the jock with a criminology degree beat out the Harvard MBA for Trump's job last night. It is all so clear to me now.
That also explains how I do above average on IQ and placement tests yet I lack extended focus sometimes when given long-term tedious tasks. There was a quote in Wayne's World which emcompases a lot of my life in college:
I once thought I had mono for an entire year, It turned out I was just really bored.
Good call. The first thing I though about was HAARP. Something along those lines could easily do this but if that were the case, we would never know about it.
Now my question is this: Would tinfoil hats be exposed?!
My boss does not care because my boss is a she with non-pointy hair. She also likes Dilbert and knows that the 10 or 15 minutes per day I am on/. is outweighed by the many hours per week of overtime that I work which is non-paid and not comp-ed.
Furthermore, judges are pretty hard to influence with P.R., one way or the other. The actions of this idiot (and even Slashdot jokes) aren't going to affect the outcome of this case.
I see where you are coming from, however I do not care about the case. I care about PHB corporate america's perception of the Linux operating system and the OSS community as a whole.
In the end, I think we'll all look back on this as the time where Linux went from sort of a fringe software in the minds of a lot of people to a mainstream player, where corporations learned they shouldn't mess with the OSS community and when the idea of open-source really started to make people ask "Why *am* I paying for this software?"
The problem with this is sometimes a few bad apples make the OSS community look like a bunch of crazy lunatics. Take the nice worm that is going around now... CNN already has an article which pretty much blames the OSS community for the worm. In fact, a quote like this: "Virus experts suggested MyDoom's author was a fan of the Linux open source community..." can be damaging to getting Linux and OSS recognized in a good light.
It is too bad that this has to happen because PHBs do not read message boards or surf/. much, they read the Times and CNN.
You are funny... Missouri is technically south of many states, but it is not 'south' by definition. It is more Midwest (if that is even applicable anymore).
Anyway, St. Louis can be known for some pretty nasty weather. The worst part is the weather changes. Right now it is 2PM and about 26F. In a few days, it will be in the mid-50's around this time of day. It is tough to get used to the cold when it goes from 70 to 30 to 55 to 20 to 60 to 0 in a given winter month.
Your comment really makes no sense... I could see Florida or SoCal but Missouri is very cold sometimes, it is like these gloves being developed in Ohio or Pennsylvania. (Look at the jet stream and temps on a map of the US, you will find that it dips far south in the middle of the country.)
In Lee Corso fashion... "Not so fast!" Let's read on about 13-405, 13-406, and 13-411:
13-404. Justification; self-defense
A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, a person is justified in threatening or using physical force against another when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force.
B. The threat or use of physical force against another is not justified:
1) In response to verbal provocation alone; or
2) To resist an arrest that the person knows or should know is being made by a peace officer or by a person acting in a peace officer's presence and at his direction, whether the arrest is lawful or unlawful, unless the physical force used by the peace officer exceeds that allowed by law; or
3) If the person provoked the other's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force, unless:
a) The person withdraws from the encounter or clearly communicates to the other his intent to do so reasonably believing he cannot safely withdraw from the encounter; and
b) The other nevertheless continues or attempts to use unlawful physical force against the person.
13-405. Justification; use of deadly physical force
A person is justified in threatening or using deadly physical force against another:
1. If such person would be justified in threatening or using physical force against the other under 13-404, and
2. When and to the degree a reasonable person would believe that deadly physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly physical force.
13-406. Justification; defense of a third person
A person is justified in threatening or using physical force or deadly physical force against another to protect a third person if:
1. Under the circumstances as a reasonable person would believe them to be, such person would be justified under 13-404 or 13-405 in threatening or using physical force or deadly physical force to protect himself against the unlawful physical force or deadly physical force a reasonable person would believe is threatening the third person he seeks to protect; and
2. A reasonable person would believe that such person's intervention is immediately necessary to protect the third person.
13-411. Justification; use of force in crime prevention
A. A person is justified in threatening or using both physical force and deadly physical force against another if and to the extent the person reasonably believes that physical force or deadly physical force is immediately necessary to prevent the other's commission of arson of an occupied structure under 13-1704, burglary in the second or first degree under 13-1507 or 13-1508, kidnapping under 13-1304, manslaughter under 13-1103, second or first degree murder under 13-1104 or 13-1105, sexual conduct with a minor under 13-1405, sexual assault under 13-1406, child molestation under 13-1410, armed robbery under 13-1904, or aggravated assault under 13-1204, subsection A, paragraphs 1 and 2.
B. There is no duty to retreat before threatening or using deadly physical force justified by subsection A of this section.
C. A person is presumed to be acting reasonably for the purposes of this section if he is acting to prevent the commission of any of the offenses listed in subsection A of this section.
I put relevant pieces in bold. It looks like most of the use of deadly force falls under self defense. The only part that seems relevant is the reference to "burglary in the second or first degree under 13-1507 or 13-1508" of which are not available in that webpage so I am not sure of the 'shooting the guy stealing your car out of your driveway' scenario is covered.
You must approach the shoplifter outside of the store. Although not technically necessary, following this step eliminates all possibility that the shoplifter still intends to pay for the stolen product. A few courts have held that detaining someone for shoplifting inside a retail store does not establish the criminal intent of theft. However, in several states shoplifters can be detained once they have concealed the merchandise. When approaching a shoplifter outside of the store always have a least one trained employee as a witness. There is safety in numbers and most shoplifters will cooperate if they believe fighting or running is futile. When you approach a shoplifter outside it is important to identify yourself clearly and your authority for stopping them. Plain-clothes loss prevention agents carry badges or official looking ID cards so the shoplifter has no doubt who they are. Most shoplifter apprehensions should be accomplished with no force or if necessary, minimal force like touching or guiding. Professional loss prevention agents sometimes will use handcuffs to take someone into custody, if they are first trained how and when to legally apply them properly.
In almost every jurisdiction if you follow these six steps, you should have no problem with proving criminal intent to shoplift and be able to establish probable cause to detain a shoplifter.
I guess the question is exactly how can a store detain you, especially if the items shoplifted are at a value low enough for the crime to be a misdemeanor?
That is where Security Expert comes into play: In almost all jurisdictions in the United States, merchants are legally empowered to detain shoplifting suspects for investigation and possible arrest and prosecution in the criminal justice system. This power is called "merchant's privilege."
There are more details about Merchant's privilege in the aformentioned link.
Agreed. Wouldn't it be nice if a bunch of us Slashdotters got together and re-worked the code to be 'nicer' and cleaner?
In fact, that type of work would really make the open source community look like good guys instead of whiners*. This is a chance to show the world that we care about the code, not just about us versus M$FT. We can clean up their stuff too.
* Face it, the media has fun making fun of the Open Source community and the general non-tech public (and PHBs) see the Open Source Community as a bunch of long-haired whiny psychos.
In my case I joined a company less than a year ago. Of course I did an audit to figure out how things were configured, but hell if I know whether this exchange 5.5 server got hit by Code Red. Naturally, I made sure guest accounts were locked anyway, but I guess the argument is that not every admin knows the entire history of thier servers and not every admin has the resources to come into a company as a new hire and take the time to go through each and every server and basically check the security and config (even though they should). That is becoming a big problem because even good IT Admins can SUCK at documentation and logging.
Sure.. the Hitler thing is so easy to bring up. First off, the US was not exactly all that interested in fighting in that war... I believe we were trying to be somewhat neutral (although offering some unofficial support to some european countries.) You miss the point however because the posted you replied to was talking about current American foreign relations. The United States has gone from a reserved confident country that will stike only when striked upon to a country that will knock down any country that does not agree with "the American" way.
(Some would call that a sign of weakness)
I do not think many people argue with stopping genocide in progress, or defending from known terrorists... however when we attack a country for no good reason except for frustration and grudges and then write the rules as we go, well... some people tend to look at that as rather bully-ish. I think the United States has gone from a country that people respected to a country that looks paranoid and desperate. Of course the US is powerful... but the US also lacks the respect due to failed policy and poor long-term foreign relations.
You obviously do not rely on Windows Update for a corporate network, do you?
I have had at least two servers hosed (read: Re-install) due to auto update and have had several other servers and workstations cease performing properly. The reason is that MSFT patches are rarely tested well, so the way to patch is to patch after testing in your environment. Once you test and validate that the patch does not break anything, then you can deploy it. That takes time. Of course, if you stay on top of things and have a set procedure for testing patches, you can usually get the patches validated and deployed rather quickly but it is still a pain for many.
On Tuesday, I got two new servers in. Both came pre-loaded with Win2K3 Server. Naturally, I decided to update them before putting them in production... I hit MS Update, left all of the default Critical patches and let it install them. On bootup, BSOD; reboot, BSOD; reboot, BSOD etc etc....
Everyone that has to work a ton on Win boxes knows that you hold SHIFT to skip CD autorun. You can hold SHIFT when opening a Word or Excel doc to not run macros in that doc and you can hold SHIFT during logoff of an autologon kiosk to bring up a logon prompt. Anyway, it is not like this guy revealed any big secret or anything. The company uses lame techniques to implement a 'snake oil' solution to piracy and acts shocked when someone points out the total lameness of the 'copy protection'.
somehow in the past 50 years, the almighty corporation has become more important than scientific advancement/academia
I think it is because all of the students in college that could not go into science/engineering ended up going on to get JDs and MBAs. They naturally derive an ego (we all do actually) that dictates that the graduate program that they are from is far more important in the world. So in this case, we have a nice blend of MBAs and JDs pushing the legal system away from scientific academia and toward corporate interests.
Either that or I just got up way too early today...

Upgrade! Don't you love how you are forced to use the latest-and-greatest? 98 is retired, get XP or 2k
Or Microsoft themselves violate the DMCA in KB Article 142639 where they tell you how to disable autorun in the registry:
i ces\CdRom\Autorun,
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Serv
REG_DWORD == 0x0"
Everyone that has to work a ton on Win boxes knows that you hold SHIFT to skip CD autorun.

Very true... but remember: .old is always old.
