It'll be completely locked down.. Google have stated no native apps, only web apps, and no local storage, only storage 'in the cloud'. To me that makes it not a useful system... I'm sure *someone* will like it but don't see the point myself.
5 seconds is more than enough to trigger an asthma attack. My wife nearly ended up in hospital after some idiot decided to blow his crud in her direction as she was walking into a building. I'm 100% for putting the penalties for nicotine possession up there with heroin.
It's a perfectly industry standard reason. The owner caused the fault by smoking and covering the internals by a thick layer of tar. Therefore it's not covered.
I've *seen* smokers' PCs. It's not something I want to repeat.
My wife (ex smoker, so more sensitive to it) can tell if I've been in the same room as a smoker whether they were smoking or not.. the smell gets absorbed in my coat.
DNS cache proxies are common on cuonsumer routers.
Of course almost universally these are set to block all requests from outside, so can't really be accused of causing a jump of open resolvers from 50% to 80% on their own.
Also any network running authoritative DNS will have an open DNS.. that's unavoidable - although you normally rate limit it with iptables to stop magnification attacks.
If you can get a driver into ring 0 what the kernel can or can't do doesn't mean squat. Run everything under a hypervisor, however, and you never get direct access to the hardware hence it limits what you can do (doesn't mean you can't do it.. just makes it significantly harder).
Probably more likely it's easier to test the theory on a kernel you can hack the source of quite easily than recompile Windows every time.. even if you have the souce license (which they may not have done even though they're funded by microsoft).
Of course that would mean that the dome was almost always covered with snow.. unless you're clearing it that would be (a) huge amounts of extra weight on the structure, and (b) no light.
After a while you wouldn't only have the problem with snow, but with dirt.
Plus if the jailtime for not handing over your keys is less than the jailtime for what they'd find if they had them then yup I wouldn't hand them over.
I looked at it - we only have the S1 in this country and it's so slow and obsololete (single tuner, the generally rubbish video capture and no HD) - even though ironically its EPG is still years ahead of the competition due to Tivo's patent lock - I thought it might be an interesting project. Problem is the CPU is about as fast as the average calculator (16Mhz MIPS IIRC) and the whole binary thing means you can't use anything other than the 2.1.24 kernel to it... so you can't update the userspace (since glibc is tied to the kernel version) and basically it's stuck being what it is.
I also hit the 'not paying tivo = theft' thing even though nobody in this country pays tivo any more - the remaining working tivos are pretty much all lifetime sub... and can be had for £50 from ebay anyway so you'd be stupid to get a sub.
It's threaded IRC, with search, but without any admin controls (once a person is there it's impossible to silence or kick them, and indeed impossible for them to leave [f/x: hums the tune to hotel california]).
It's fairly limited right now - I bet part of the reason that these RP events use multiple waves is because you have to - once you go over about 350 posts the wave slows down to the point of unusability and you have to start a new one.
Wave is so beta it's difficult to know what it will be when it's finished (at the moment stuff breaks regularly.. which is OK because it's most populated by geeks who are used to stuff breaking). What I would say is don't believe the hype otherwise you'll be disappointed.
The problem is nobody should *ever* fall for this, no matter how good the caller sounds.
Someone phones you. CLID can be faked. Can't trust that. Unless they have some way of authenticating themselves to you treat them as unknown. That phone call contains another number. Ignore it. Go to the website of your bank, find a published customer service number and ask them.
It's exactly the same as anyone with any sense has been doing for years.. telephone scams aren't new. Now if the bank's calling system is compromised.. that's a bigger problem, and one that the bank would have to answer for.
lol. It's not far off that. Last cheque I saw was about the same timeframe, and although I think the bank tellers would still know how to deal with them, no nobody takes them any more.. the shops (including mailorder) all announced they were stopping the practice a couple of years ago.

No. A stated feature of the OS is no native execution.

Linux kernel is GPL v2, as is much of the essential software. They can stay clear of GPLv3 easily and create a perfectly working distribution.

No it is.. £50 is a lot for what sounds for all the world like a wiimote ripoff.
£50 with a bundled game (where the game is £30-£40 anyway) makes more sense.

Rootkit as a name has nothing to do with the OS it's running on.. the Sony rootkits targetted Windows for example.
Anyway, Windows has a whole class of root users called the administrators group, not just one user.
It's a dome.. I would assume it wouldn't crush flat unless it failed catastrophically.
OTOH it would get rather dark inside.

In the UK it's the existence of a cathederal - so where I am right now there are two cities sandwiched right next to each other for example.
Given the general level of competence by the government simply using ipv6 will do that... no need for an anonymising network.
*All* governments want to spy on everything you do. You think the US is immune to this?
That's why it's so important the legal system is independent from government, so it can't do the things it wants to do.

That page is a bit of an epic fail really. Flash has nothing to worry about if you have to download Chrome to view the page.
They will get .fr (Russian Federation) that looks like 0p (0 with vertical bar).
That's gonna piss off the french.
