  1. Tom Arnold WTF !! on Lost Credit Data Improperly Kept, Company Admits · · Score: 0

    Now it all makes sense......

    Quoted from article..
    "The standards themselves are very effectively written," said Tom Arnold, a partner at Payment Software Company, a consulting firm in San Francisco that advises and provides security assessments for merchants and processors. "The challenge in the industry can be when people don't fully comply or try to cut corners."

    Tom Arnold !! No wonder. He needs to find another Roseanne Barr quick before he's homeless !

  6. Cadillac cars with the Northstar 4.6 too ! on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 0

    The northstar system (all FWD Cadillacs 1993-now) have the MPG display and it is very accurate. The display gets it's information from the fuel injector pulse timing and fuel pressure off the PCM, so unless you car has a leak in the fuel line it is accurate.

    BTW: I have a 1997 Cadillac Deville with 110,000 miles on it and get anywhere from 520-570 miles on a full tank (20 gals) doing 70-90 mph. That's just about as good as an Accord v6 but MUCH more comfortable !

    I know of his place from a Cadillac Site I'm a regular on.

    A quote from the page
    Is the stored crash data really that valuable?
    Consider this case where data was downloaded from the airbag SDM / EDR module.

    Florida v. John Walker, 20th Judicial Circuit, Lee County,
    Case No. 00-002866CF RTC (2003).

    This was a criminal case with a two vehicle, head-on collision. The defendant was charged with two counts of Vehicular Homicide. At issue was the defendant's speed and in which lane the collision occurred. The airbag SDM / EDR provided evidence the defendant was not speeding at the time of the collision. The jury found the defendant not guilty. This was a trial court and not published.

  19. GPS /E911 Enabled Phones on Tracking People Via Cell Phone · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I just got the new Audiovox CDM9155-GPX Phone from Verizon,
    it has a single chip GPS reciever in it that can transmit your position when needed by the Cell Carrier
    for future E-911 compliance (you can turn it off in the options).
    I don't understand why they need to do anything but mandate new phones !

    what I would really like to see is someone come up with a way to use the GPS unit in the phone with a Palm/PocketPC through the data connector

    Don't be elitist. There are plenty of gamers out there that can't bloody afford the latest and greatest, much less upgrade every two years (6 months?). Some folks are actually interested in knowing what the best integrated video is, even if it doesn't compare to your Robocop 6000 SUX.

    The only thing that pisses me off about XP is there isn't a familiar "Lock Desktop" function anymore. It was easy to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and then Enter to lock NT/2000 (I know WinKey+L basically does the same thing), old habits die hard.

  25. Had the same problem w/ Dell Inspirion 7500 on Configuring X to Run on VAIO Desktop LCD Screens? · · Score: 1

    I use RH6.2 (RH7 w/Xfree4 was kinda buggy)

    Use the Red Hat Setup and choose xconfigure (IIRC) Let the system find the vid card (ATI Rage) and select the screen manually. Choose LCD screen 1028x786 (or whatever native resolution is) and finish up.

    Type startx, and you should have X running. If not try startx -Xbpp , where x= 8,16,24,32 for different bit depths.

    It can be a real pain in the ass but keep trying.

    Read the Laptop How-To's and Don't give up. If all else fails, get a copy of RH6.2 or SUSE 6.x which are more stable and has xfree 3.3.6 (I had problems w/xfree4.01 on the Dell (ATI Mobility/P)
