Getting my code to work is hard enough without the uncertainty principle making it impossible to tell where my RAM is and how fast it's running at the same time:)
Yes. And DRM compatible speakers must have a DAC in them to transfer to analogue output, which means:
1. Anyone with a soldering iron can get the analogue output of the DAC and wire it into the audio input of a sound card. 2. Anyone with a bit of electronics knowledge and aforementioned soldering iron can tap into the digital input of the DAC and get a perfect copy.
Not really... algorithms are done - I used to believe as you did but have realised I just don't have to think about it.... the language does it - all languages nowadays have sort, vector/array, list, map/hash, etc. so all the basic stuff is built in. eg. I've got a reasonable idea what a balanced tree is but no idea how you'd write one... never needed to.
If you can take a 10 year old piece of junk and fix a complex bug in under an hour... people will pay for that. If you can manage a project to completion and to a deadline determined by commercial pressures (programmers rarely set deadlines in the real world) then people will pay for that. The rest is fluff.
I've had an image of XP SP2 from the MSDN CD installed on a machine, browsed to a couple of pages to find a driver and *without doing anything* got a trojan on the machine.
LCDs give my wife migranes, so we had to go back to CRT.
The doctor said it only affected women and has something to do with the number of colours an LCD renders being too high... sounds hokey to me (he's a doctor not an engineer!) but switching back to CRT helped her.
Never heard of her, myself... Still I've run out of Asimov/Clarke/Niven books to read (the authors being dead doesn't help!) so might give her a try provided it's real science fiction not 'dungeons and dragons with a bit of cheesy magic' which most of modern scifi is nowadays.
The S/MIME on OE doesn't work - it just displays a blank page with an error message & you have to click to read the message.
This *really* confuses newbies - I tried it for a couple of weeks and gave up after getting loads of messages back from OE users complaining that they couldn't read my message.
Terrorism has *always* existed. It's not any worse now than 10 years ago.... I used to have the odd afternoon off school due to bomb scares (99.9% of terrorism is the fear of it not the actual action. The closest I got was when the IRA decided to do a demolition job on the local city centre on a Saturday afternoon.. I was about half a mile away.. spent the afternoon quaffing beer on the exclusion perimiter and watching helicopters/police with guns surrounding the place).
There is a witchhunt - basically anyone who wants 'rights' risks being thrown in jail without and representation or right to a trial. This situation would never have been allowed a few years ago but under the 'terrorism' laws you can be arressted for anything they decide to dream up.
Yes if you tell your employer that the government has requested the network passwords/keys etc. then you get sent to jail.
If you don't of course, you're likely to get the sack and may never work as an admin again (since who would want to employ an admin who has given away all the network keys).
I had something similar from 'Mobile fun'. I bought a product years ago from them, and they automatically subscribed me to their list (I didn't ask, or click any links, but I guess they thought I was an easy target).
After clicking around 10 of their unsubscribe links I lost my temper and reported them to spamcop, with details (didn't ask for list, unsubscribe doesn't work... SPAM).
I got a hand written email within 24 hours saying that they were Microsoft partners (not sure why they needed to tell me that) and of course they didn't spam... and if I'd tell them my email address they'd unsubcribe me (DUH!!! You just SENT AN EMAIL TO IT!!!). I politely replied with the same email adresss... and they stopped.
4 weeks layer they started again. This time I send them to spamcop, razor *and* blocked their entire subnet at the router. That stopped them.

Ouch. £2300 for the cheapest plasma I can find.
:)
Compared with £75 for a CRT I know which route I'll take
Interestingly, LCDs give my wife migranes. Switching back to CRT (on the advice of the doctor, who'se seen the problem before) solved that.
:)
So not everyone finds them easier on the eyes
Over here ISPs talk to each other, so if you get banned for spamming in one you're going to find it real hard to get another one.
Do it twice and you might as well forget having an internet connection.
It helps that there aren't that many ISPs really - most of the ones that advertise are just resellers for one of the biggies.

If you think the firefox logo is sexually explicit I advise you to seek professional help.
The degree means nothing - they don't teach security, or even basic common sense.
He needs to get some real-world experience. Then he'd know to install firefox and make sure the Windows PC is locked down & behind a good firewall.
Urk I hope not...

My big issue with tmpfs was vi.... if I did vi on a reasonably large file the storage ran out real fast and it blew up. I didn't even attempt vmware.
Eventually I just took the easy way out and put it back on the disk.
FFS will people please stop saying this without qualifying it?
What hidden setting to you have to enable to make ctrl-K work? Not one person has mentioned this yet. Out of the box Ctrl-K does nothing.
CTRL-J brings up the downloads window
CTRL-K does nothing.
It's unlikely a watermark would survive the digital->analogue->digital transition... there's always a few errors in there.
Even if it did, there's plenty of software/hardware that doesn't give a shit an will play it anyway.

Now google for macrovision defeating hardware.
There's lots of it. I head a cheapo made in taiwan VCR that had it built into the motherboard FFS.
Macrovision does not work.

The DSO thing is a bug in spybot not an IE exploit.
It *always* says there are DSO exploits found and deletes them. Just ignore them.
You're lucky.

In under 10 minutes.
Users have no chance, really.

This article confuses me, TBH.
We already pay annually for domains... so they want to put the price up by $.75 a year?
Big deal. That's less than inflation.
I prefer to use Perl...
Inherent encryption, and no chance of anyone reading it later.

What's that german word for "enjoys the pain and suffering of others"?
