Unfortunately neither solution are worthwhile options for someone who is considering buying the same monetary quantity of hard disks as he would have VHS cassettes. VHS casettes can be had for one cent a minute in bulk. Hard disks are 1GB to the dollar, which gets you 100-400 seconds per dollar, or 1-4 seconds per cent; not close to 60 seconds per cent.

that's not why he said it was like win2k. It was the part about NOT using the command line.
And it's not like linux is based on a command interpreter either. It's "based" on/sbin/init which can do whatever it damn well pleases. You can choose to not start/sbin/mgetty on your VTs.
Not the ratio. That is, it doesn't matter if half my emails get sent into a big black hole. I only care about the.01% of them that reply to my website saying they're interested in getting more infromation, who are interested in getting out of debt free fast.
So the solution isn't to verify, but to keep adding more and more potential addersses until the number of hits goes up.
It's easy to send, and let them positively verify. Every once in a while you might audit your list, which usually means just throw out the old ones that didn't give you a positive reply.
BTW, it is easy to set up your own mail server, and use bandwidth limiting so that you don't trip your ISPs upstream alarm. Naughty people sell $100 packages for Windows that do exactly that.
Finally, spammers aren't intelligent enough to realize when they aren't making any progress because they are wasting their own bandwidth needlessly. Because once they stop doing it, some other poor disillusioned sap dreaming of "Putting his computer to work and making $40,000 a year" will pick up the email list right where the last one left off. But if there was a penalty for being WRONG, wouldn't that next person think twice about his strategy?
We do work entirely for the government, especially for DARPA, the IRS and the FAA. A fair number of our projects involve, in whole or in part, software of an open source nature. Some of the stuff I have played with in the past, and even helped bug-fix or improve:
lame (think sonar), MySQL, samba (smbtar fixes, largefile fixes in client), octave and linux-wlan-ng.
Moreover, our infrastructure teams use OSS extensively. They have a corporate printing system built from LPRng, samba, openldap, and apache. Tons of perl glue. We have some wicked cool scripts for unix desktop users that automagically pick the closest printer to the user as the default.
It got better with left-click for system-wide menu, middle-click for user-configured menu, and right-click for common desktop control panel things.
It would be nice if more *nix apps/toolkits were like the GIMP and extended that metaphor into the application itself, so right clicking on the app (or a widget) brings up properties, middle click is a user-configurable toolbar (maybe empty), and left click is a bunch of common actions, or the "standard" way to invoke a widget.
You know, what PGP and GPG champion but don't provide.
I think my point is FEATUREWISE it doesn't provide anything software can't in terms of copyright protection. It does provide refutability but it has to be supported in software (which can be hacked, i.e. ignore the hardware's suggestions). To circumvent, first change the software. Then flash your TCPA with the new checksums for the hacked OS/DRM layer. Reboot, and voila, it trusts whatever you say.
It can be used to boot a secure OS, yes. But it won't prevent you from doing it if you want to (especially since you get to define which OS is valid; this is an advertised feature) It also provides a way to do things like verification hashes or cert checking outside the CPU. You can stick a private certificate in it and sign/encrypt stuff all the live long day without worry that your system gets rooted and your private key or ipsec.secerts compromised. The hacker would have to come into the server room and remove the chip, at which point they have a slim chance of opening it up and getting the key out (...its not hardened). But if they can do that, then you're screwed anyway. (See the previous article on AT&T and tumbler lock vulnerabilities) Thats basically what it does. Also, a builtin RNG in case you don't have an i810 chipset.
1) IBM doesn't care about DRM. In fact, this chip is completely unsuitable for DRM (and the white paper author was kind enough to explain why... protects you from SOFTWARE attacks, not hardware.)
2) The specs are open. There is a gratis GPLd demonstration driver/API for linux.
3) (My impression) is that it helps solve certain security chicken and egg problemswhen you want to do things like mount an encrypted hard disk, but not want to store the decryption key in memory.
4) Primary advertised use: for signing and verifying your OWN code, i.e. to protect yourself from root kits.
As Administrator: Start->Control Panel->System Then select the advanced tab, and click the "settings" button under performance. Then select the advanced tab in the new dialog, and click "change" at the bottom under Virtual memory.
Select the radio button for no swap file. Reboot, if asked.
Wahoo.

Little story: when we were shopping for Christmas decorations I was appaled at the sorry state and poor quality of the goods available at various home improvement stores. Most of the joints online were just "Christmas" suppliers that 2 months ago were "Halloween" suppliers. It's hard to get at the companies who supply THEM,and if we could talk to them we could have probably gotten exactly what we needed instead of compromising, buying crap from Target.
There should be a forum where goods like that are rented, traded, and so is labor by contracters and designers. There should representation for residential and commercial products. For large jobs, people could make bids on packages by local contractors.
I don't think these kind of things are handled exclusively by one "market", and are often offshoots of hospitality, catering, appliance and home furnishing businesses.
These kind of things need to be brough together in some fashion so people can see all the options they have for doing elaborate rennovations or decorating for events.
is that it's remarkable how (after making basic assumptions) the very ideas of a stable vampire/human equilibrium are sound, and they are consistent with the "normal" Buffy universe. Many television shows and movies are mathematically improbable in even the most basic sense (like the ecosystem in the Matrix, for example). More importantly, we can assume that this was not intentional on the writer's part, I'm sure they wouldn't even grasp the "classic problem"; they probably didn't study engineering or mathematics in school. What the author of the study doesn't state, but I will, is the implication of his exercise in intellectual masturbation taken with the previous assumption. Why would it work out, what made these writers different than other writers? I think it's a plot driven element, and a reflection of the real causes of social attitudes. I'm willing to venture a guess that they (the writers) kept the number of vampires and incidents in the series low so that it would seem more likely people wouldn't realize that there were real vampires around in the fictional Buffy scenario. From this, we determine vampires could exist in stable equilibrium if this was the case. If the prey on the show knew about the predators in a larger sense, the equations wouldn't be so simple any longer, and the stable equilibrium would be lost. What we consider "under the radar" and thus unnoticed is a perfect niche for small, select groups of predators to operate within, in REAL life. So in conclusion, the writers are clearly not buffoons, and your neighboor IS a vampire. QED.
I mean, I didn't know here was a spirograph plugin for Photoshop. But "bad", I mean, you have to be really good to draw lines like that close together with a tablet, or even a mouse.
Oh wait, you're not replying to the article are you.::clicks on link to bakla.net:: OMG!!!!
I can understand the mindset behind wanting the extra stuff. For example, you can blame it when your connection goes out. Then you can spend an hour installing and uninstalling it, while at the same time the techs have rebooted the head-end router and your connection magically comes back. The confused user pats himself on the back thinking his twiddling fixed it.
It makes you feel like you're getting more, because you're jealous of all those coddled AOL users. Most people don't know what to do with an open-ended net connection. If they didn't have a gaudy portal/start page with links, they'd probably never use it at all!

There was a time back during the dotcom bubble that you could get StrongARM boards with 200MHz CPUs and PC-like interfaces (PCI, PCMCIA) so you could put it in a small case. There was that netwinder product that was a tablet-like device. Like an uber-palm pilot. We tried to buy one but they went under before they could ship.
Too bad. They sipped power (500-1000 mA at 5V, nothing compared to laptops). This is exactly what you described. With a touch screen to boot!
OTH, the ARM processors lacked an FPU, so there's no free lunch I guess.:-P.13 micron 486... wow. I had this idea some time ago after being disillusioned by the difficult-to-comprehend insanity that was the pentium pro arch. But after further study I realized that a suitably clocked P6-line CPU could probably outperform the 486 on the same code and run cooler. The P6 has a larger die area and fancier logic. For probably cheaper too:-)
I'm imaging a new market on the horizon for low-powered PCs. Laptops that can run for 6 hours+ without heavy batteries, and the sub-micro ATX form factor systems. The latter are an interesting case, useful for roll-your-own multimedia appliances and servers that you can leave on but won't chomp on your power budget. I have a PC I keep on constantly in a corner and use for my firewall, mailserver etc. I used an underclocked celeron to keep the heat down and to keep the power usage to a minimum. But it could do so much more if it wasn't so lightweight. The LP Pentium III would easily outpace what I currently have.
So, it would be cool to see these chips and motherboard commoditzed for just this use. For a bit of extra money up front you can get double your money back in power savings (vs a high-power CPU). There aren't many sub 11W IA processors that can get the job done.
