    3m might have a problem with that.

    I'm sure handjobs would not be sufficient.

    Note also that unused bandwidth on metered plans rolls over perpetually. I don't know of anyone else who does that.

    Lease length is irrelevant. My Earthlink DHCP lease is only 1 day, but my IP address hasn't changed since... well the earliest message on my phone from the updater is last April, and it's just an expiration-preventive update.

    That's what application data blocks would be for: http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#metadata_block_application . Nobody has written such an application yet, though.

    I don't even have to type the CD part. I just type windows\ and hit enter.

    Try this: http://www.jpsoft.com/ . Make sure to enable "fuzzy CD".

    Maybe, but it is when that's the only open seat left.

    SSN is for credit checks and taxation purposes. Nobody else should get it. Also, it should never be used as the ID/account number.

    Because it bothers you, I should take it out of my ear and jam it into my pocket, where the arm snaps off the first time I sit down?

    I think they're still in the box because he just used the downloaded copy he already had installed.

  15. Re:Facts? on Draconian DRM Revealed In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    No, no, no... Here's you car analogy. You buy a car, then steal an engine to put in it. It runs and works great, except the hood doesn't shut all the way. You go out and get a shallower head and bolt it on. The first time you crank the engine, the pistons interfere with the valves and smash the hell out of them, because you put the wrong head on, yet somehow it's the car's fault.

  16. Re:TrueCrypt on How To, When You Have To Encrypt Absolutely Everything? · · Score: 1

    TrueCrypt on Windows already has a dismount-on-screensaver-launch feature, as well as timed, logoff, and power-save-mode.

  17. Re:power saving? on Sony Shows Off Flexible OLED Screens At CES · · Score: 1

    Read the entire passage you quoted, not just the part you bolded. It says "per panel square inch," so we are in fact comparing apples to apples. Well, square inches to square inches, anyway.

  18. Re:Absolutely correct on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    You do realize that by changing "murdered" to "slandered" and changing the number you could apply your argument to the 1st amendment instead of the 2nd?

  19. Re:Lost buisness to the game companies. on Entertainment Software Association Following RIAA? · · Score: 1

    Yes, because renting a 360 and a copy of Fallout 3 is gong to tell him if the PC version will run on his PC.

    Why are all you people logging off and shutting down? Is it company policy? What's wrong with Hibernate?

  21. Re:You call that an old card? :) on Creative GPLs X-Fi Sound Card Driver Code · · Score: 1

    You missed one. I believe Creative's first sound card was the Game Blaster (FM synth only, no DAC). I had one in my Tandy 1000 about 18 years ago. I think the box is even laying around in my old bedroom, with some other junk in it.

  22. Re:Truecrypt does that and is better on Resisting the PGP Whole Disk Encryption Craze · · Score: 1

    "Large organizations" have asset tags. Use the tag number as the initial password and the filename. Keep the headers on an encrypted USB drive. Better yet, keep them on lots of encrypted USB drives.

    But you're right, you couldn't do anything remotely if the boot partition is encrypted. In that case, however, it doesn't matter what you used.

    If you need the other features of PGP Disk, by all means use it. Just remember that there's TrueCrypt, which is "good enough" for most purposes.

  23. Re:As the saying goes... on Duplicating Your Housekeys, From a Distance · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My car ('03 Sentra) has a lever inside the trunk by the lock. When flipped down, the electronic trunk release no longer functions, and you must use the key lock to open the trunk. Maybe yours does, too; have you looked?

  24. Re:Truecrypt does that and is better on Resisting the PGP Whole Disk Encryption Craze · · Score: 1

    IT puts a generic password and/or keyfile(s) on the volume/disk, then backs up the header. The user can then choose their own password, even change it daily if they want to. When IT need to get into the volume/disk, they restore the header, which restores the password/keyfile(s). You should be able to fit an entire road-warrior army's volume headers on a single flash drive.

  25. Re:It's not about the money on RIAA Wants Its $222,000 Verdict Back · · Score: 1

    WTF kind of bullshit is "If you can see the MAC address of the transmitting device you could see whether that device was wired or wireless" and "If I actually captured the wireless packet, its MAC address is larger than the MAC address of a -- on the wired side, along with the frame format is different?" I'm pretty sure MAC addresses are all 48 bits.

    And am i reading this right? The entirety of the evidence is a screenshot from MediaSentry, because there was nothing actually found on the HD?
