I believe most BBC DVD's are available in NTSC, Region 1, as the US has long been a great consumer of BBC properties, largely though PBS and some of the earlier cable programmers, like A&E.
However, if the device in the watch is something more on the order of an RFID tag, then it only transmits it's information when appropriately irradiated. We used them to track pallets in a warehouse. The key chip transmits nothing when outside the range of the reader.
Certainly nothing is perfectly secure. But shrinking the window of vulnerability and increasing the cost of breaking in are good goals.
Carol and Alice could forget all the subterfuge and beat up Bob, stealing his wristwatch while he's unconscious
Of course, severed fingers and plucked eyeballs can certainly cause a security problem with biometric devices.
The files are ALWAYS encrypted on the hard drive. A small cache of data in RAM is unencrypted, only when the watch, or other dongle is in proximity. When the devices are separated, the laptop goes into a sort of hibernation, with the contents of that RAM cache encrypted.
When the laptop comes back into relation with the watch, the encryption chip wakes up the l;aptop, decypts the RAM cache, and life goes on.
The communication between the watch and the laptop is, itself, encrypted. The key pair could be established in the hardware of both chips, and would be destroyed upon attempts to physically access the chip.
Fine. Just how many recordings are available on your fancy cassette tapes? Recordings you have made do not count. The fact is, even fancy tape wears out, and as much as old-school audiophiles whinge about the quality of digital audio, I seriously doubt they can really hear the difference. I'd like to see the results of true, Turing-Test style blind comparisons between cassette and CD. I'm not talking about heavily compressed 96bit mp3's. I'm talking about CD, or DVD audio quality.
As in, the FCC requires digital tuners in TV's. And so the Hollywood Cabal shoehorns in DRM into those tuners, which Sony will have NO problem doing. They are already lobbying for embedded DRM, and Microsoft and Intel are helping with Palladium.
This is true, but ramps and especially, curb cuts are often an annoyance and even dangerous to the blind. If you do not use a helper dog, and most blind people do not have one, your only recourse is the cane, and curb cuts are very difficult to detect. Chirping croswalks are fine, where they exist, but many intersections, even in fairly busy areas do not have signals.
Your reasoning makes no sense, since the Dreamcast has been discontinued by Sega, and is an orphan platform.
The real significance is the almost universal glee to be had around here when someone manages to hack one kind of computing device into something which it was never originally designed for.
This goes far beyond defense of Copyright. This goes to the destruction of the Fair Use doctrine, and ultimately the end of free speech, at least for individuals. I am a firm believer in Copyright law, and every MP3 I have is either ripped from my own CD's, or downloaded songs where I own the vinyl, but I am too lazy to rip and clean my own copy.
In many cases the thugs far out-gun the police. Witness that bank robbery in LA a few years ago. The cops had to borrow hunting rifles from a gun store to finally bring those bastards down.
Well said. Whether you are for or against a particular cause, the true mark of Civil Disobedience is making a public stand, and accepting the consequences. Dr. King broke the law, and went to jail for it. Some animal rights activists have done the same, as have some pro-lifers.
I haven't seen such nobility of spirit in the acts of dDoS'ers. If they are truly protesting, then they should stand up and take their lumps, to make the point. Nobody ever said it would be easy to be a person of principle.
... to explain his views? I'm not trying to pick a fight. It's just been my experience that most Libertarians are interested n the freedom to smoke weed than any thing else. The biggest difference between a libertarian and an anarchist is that libertarians still want the police to arrest the guy who stole their car stereo.
I wish I could look it up. I'm on contract away from home. I think I remember 2 german episodes, but I might be wrong. The set I have includes a special hosted by Steve Martin, and includes clips from the Hollywood Bowl, etc.

At least, in the early versions of perl, Larry did more C programming than anything else.
No, it's just redundant. ;-)

I just spewed coffee all over myself. I did manage to miss my iBook, but that's the only thing that's still clean.

See that wasn't that hard to understand was it.

Those are the severed hands of a Microsoft Programmer.

I always wondered where the Zik-Zak Corporation came from. Now I know. At the heart of Zik-Zak, there is a little Sony.

I don't want to sound judgemental, or anything, but Come On!? Does he have to be that , um, stereotypical?
Any network admin worth the title is already war-driving his own facilities, sniffing for stuff like this.

I don't thnik such a creature exists. I hope you weren't thinking of Katz? ;-)
The set I have is 2 DVD's in a box.

Add touchscreen, or data glove tech, and you don't need a mouse either.

A 'Boot' is also the clamp that Parking Meter officers put on your tire to keep the car from moving.
I have them in the 2 disk best of set I got for Christmas.
