For those of you who don't know how NDS works (and probably don't care), I'll spill some of my useless knowledge on you.
So, let's say you set the clock back on a Novell server. Most NDS transactions are timestamped, to allow auditing, and other such nice things. The problem is, let's say you set your time back now - it's 4/17/03, 12:40pm, and you set it back to 4/17/00, 12:40pm.
NDS isn't exactly *stupid* - it has transactions leading up to 4/17/03, and time very rarely goes backwards like that. So the server is forced to issue "synthetic time", so every transaction takes place a very short ammount of time after 4/17/03, 12:40:0000, then 12:40:00.01, 12:40:00.02, and so on. This will *never fix itself*...
Well, until 4/17/03, 12:40:xx.xx pm, when things catch up. Then everything will be fine.
Never fear! You can fix this. After you roll your clocks back, just run dsrepair with the -a switch (which allows you to do the stupid things - but for the really stupid things, you can use the switches -xk2 -xk3), and pick advanced options -> Global Schema Operations. Log in, and select "Declare a new Epoch."
Then you're just really telling the Novell server, yes, strange as it may seem, time *did* go backwards. And it deals with it.
So... in theory, all I need is an "open" relay, use firewall rules to prevent it from actually sending mail out, and then... I can harvest a list of millions of e-mail addresses that's as good as what the spamming pros use, since it's their list?
Holy crow.
Now, if only I hated humanity enough to actually put this plan into action...
Well, I'm sure that if you're unethical enough to sell a computer with an overclocked processor and not tell your customer, you might not think twice about flashing the motherboard bios with a bios image that wouldn't pop that message up.
Fixes that will actually be hard to get around have to be done in hardware.
I may just be shooting in the dark here, but I think it's likely that they don't charge $9.99 for broadband because it costs at least that much to provide it.
I'm not saying they're not overcharging, but they can't exactly pick any arbitrary price point and make up for it completely with 'volume'.
I had checked the reasearch. It's useless. Goodbye.
Seriously, that was amazing. Wow, all that 'restaurant' background, and being a 'chemist'. What a load of bullshit you are. You spout off pretending that you know what you're talking about, ignore every fact and link I put in my posts, and then *finally* maybe click on the link, and that's what you have to say. What a total waste of time you turned out to be.
Do not answer if you cannot keep a civil tongue in your head.
Why not? Since the research you're asking me to provide is in the links I *already provided*... I don't know. Doesn't that make you a dumbass? It's called scrolling up. Try it. I mean, I provide you with links and research on coffee temperature, and legal analysis of the case, and I'm supposed to take your memory over that?
BTW 160 Deg. F is not several orders of magnitude cooler than 180 Deg. F.
Don't worry, it's only reading comprehension. One day, you'll get it. 160 degree water takes 20 seconds or more to do the same ammount of damage as 180 degree water can do in three seconds or less. Now, look up orders of magnitude, and apply.
God, I sure hope you're lying about being a chemist. Or maybe you don't actually work on anything that can hurt people.
Not to mention that 180 degrees is not a standard *anywhere*, since every independant test has shown McDonalds coffee to be about 20 degrees warmer than everything else.
I do research. Your fabricated bullshit doesn't work here. Go play with someone else who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Guys claiming that they thought up a X-box like console in 1991.
I'm sure that by that you mean, "Thought up a console", since that site could not have gone more out of it's way to stress that it wasn't anything like an X-box.
Hey, maybe you can't be bothered to read the sites either?
All these replies are just wonderful, really. However, every factual resource disagrees with you.
Kindly read here, here, here, and... oh lord, I could go on, but why?
Yes, you're all way too manly to be afraid of boiling hot water. Yes, yes, indeed, you must have very large testicles, or something, I'm not sure why you need to think you're so macho. 180-190 degrees is *HOT*. And sure, the coffee you get from McDonalds has just been made, passed through grounds! Or, maybe it's been stored in a huge vat for several hours, and you're kidding yourself. And yes, coffee should be *hot* or else you don't like it! Yes, but not that hot, even if you don't admit it. And I'm sure they drink it when they get in to work, even though McDonalds' own research indicates the vast majority *try* to drink it right away, while driving.
Besides. Of course you people are perfect. You've never spilled a drink in your life! You're fully comfortable having to hold a fucking *beverage* container as if it held nuclear waste. Severe burns that will require surgery? In *UNDER TWO SECONDS*? Yeah, sure. Clearly, this is appropriate.
All your points have the following in common:
1) Enhanced machismo. Clearly you're making up for something. 2) Finding humor, reveling in your own ignorance. You don't care about the actual facts, it just makes you happy to think, "Ha, ha. She's so dumb, she got burned by coffee!" Sure, just neglect the fact that she's 80, *wasn't* driving, and was holding a liquid in a fragile, disposable cup, capable of doing a full skin burn in under two seconds. 3) Express strong opinions, without really having a deep understanding of what your talking about.
I know, 3 really shouldn't surprise me, considering what website this is. Oh well. You know what? Think whatever you want, since trying to change the minds of the willfully ignorant is one of the most difficult things you can do. McDonalds now serves coffee at 160, which is still way too hot to drink, but is several orders of magnitude too cool to cause severe damage, just like *every other fast food chain* has always done. Good.
I don't know how hot you take your coffee, but it's not 180+ degrees F, which is how hot McDonalds used to store their coffee. There's no good reason to have coffee that hot. They were wrong, they got sued, and they changed.
If you spill hot coffee on yourself, yes, you get burned. If you spilt *THAT* hot coffee on yourself, you'll have 3rd degree burns and skin grafts like she did. As a company, you have to be pretty frigging dumb to sell something that can cause serious injury on contact with human skin, and have it be meant for immediate ingestion.
That's a REALLY nice thing to say about all the Germans that were alive when Adolf took over. He was just the representation of the societal Id. Everyone in Germany was just like him, right?
Well, you know, I'm not sure how to break this to you. Actually, why don't you just get off your duff, and read some books like Hitler's Willing Executioners? I'm sure you've been watching the television, and come to believe that everyone just wants to be just like us - all the commercials, and the sitcoms want you to believe that. But hey, is that a flag that mob of (insert nationality you listed here) is burning?
Gee, it sounds to me like they really might not want us to 'save' them from their government.
Well, sure they did. What happens if you don't eat?
I can hear the liberal-socialist ranting now! But if I don't choose to go to McDonalds, they couldn't have my money! Blah, blah!
Yeah, sure, but your money for food has to go *somewhere*. And then they get your dollar.
Like it or not, someone's got to defend the country, or you might as well go give your shiny home entertainment center to the Canadians. It's nearly as important as being able to eat, but not quite. And don't fool yourself about world peace. The only thing that will ever stop you from being attacked in the real world is the fact that, if you are attacked, extremely *bad* things will happen to your attacker.
So they spent seven million to get hundreds of thousands of nearly army age kids to go, "Whoo! Go Army!"? Do you know what kind of return on investment that is? I'd be sorely disappointed in them if they *hadn't* done it, once they came up with the idea.
As long as you're getting into flame wars with everyone else, can I challenge your.sig?
My little iMac can encode MPEG4 video in realtime. Show me an x86 that can do that. Or, shut up about x86 performance.
My natural response is: you must be on some sort of drugs. My factual response goes as follows -
Here's a page of benchmarks under OSX of MPEG4 Encoding. Looks like 15 frames/sec is a good time. What do you consider real time?
In the meantime, here's a set of benchmarks from Toms Hardware Guide. It shows speeds of up to 48 frames per second. So, if by realtime you meant film, (24ish frames) or NTSC (30ish), er... this would be much faster than real time. Heck, a p4 1.4 can nearly keep up with film in real time.
So... what the hell?
Oh yes, I have to stay on topic. You're right about corporations not existing to serve the public good. They exist to make money. That's the whole point of a company.
As far as "Congress shall make no law...", it doesn't seem like you've got the spirit of the ammendment - it simply *can't* be legal for all forms of speech to be protected. If it was, corporations could advertise falsely, lie about product spec, and do all sorts of other nasty things, and then say, 'but hey, it's speech!'
If you insist on interpreting the constitution that literally, perhaps you should write up a new ammendment that can be taken as dogma. But until you do, and it's ratified, we just have to stick with the way we've been doing things.
No, that's still cracking. Breaking security is cracking, period. Skilled coding, and especially using or improving things so that they can do more than before, is hacking.
For example (and this is a paraphrased quote, since I can't remember who said it, and can't seem to manage to look it up) a good example of a hack is using that lamp on the wall over there to get me a beer.
I think that while the WTC was designed to survive an airplane strike, their calculations were incorrect, though I don't really fault them for that.
If a 707 had impacted the towers with a full fuel load at its top speed, the tower would probably have fallen, though it certainly would have stayed up longer. The computations done on the tower design were only for the impact force of the airplane. The tower was assumed to be safe because of the fireproofing of the steel beams. However, the impact of the plane blew off vast ammounts of the fireproofing...
The 707 would still have done extensive damage to the steel fireproofing, and the building may very well have gone down, even though the impact force may have been much less.
Actually, oh retarded one, only debtor was misspelled, and only by one letter.
Uh, no.
Sure, we are the _largest_ deptor country in the world, sure we are spending billions of deficite dollars on the military...
Deficite? Oddly enough, try popping 'deficite' into google. It will smartly come back with: Did you mean: deficit? Even better, the first link it recommends is a link for an Attention Deficite Disorder page! Check it out, okay? =p
After all, your the one who cannot make a complete sentence.
I'm sure you meant "you're". I doubt I'd be bothering to mock you if you weren't trying to talk like such a hotshot, though.

Well, if 30 minutes of exposure to second hand smoke can raise your risk of a heart attack, I can only imagine that six cigarettes a day would do it.

I sort of agree with you, I really do... but have they started jacking up the cost of web browsers?
DIRECTLY from the site you pointed out:
USDA beef quality grades are Prime, Choice, Select, Standard, Commercial, Utility, Cutter and Canner.
Maturity is an estimation of the physiological age of the carcass. There are five degrees of maturity--A, B, C, D and E.
Holy shit, you showed me.
Actually, uh... the letters are ratings of maturity of the beef. It's not a USDA grade. Why can't you (or other people) understand this?
Believe me, if I could be more "concending", I would be.
Yeah, Restoration Farms. They're the same as the USDA. And besides that, you're even reading the chart totally wrong.
I hope you're a troll, for your sake. Otherwise, you've got the ignorance market cornered. I bet you're real happy, though. =)
Personally, I find it odd that it would be stamped that, since beef is graded as follows:
Prime, Choice, Select, Standard, Commercial, Utility, Cutter, and Canner.
Eggs and Poultry are graded with letters, but hey. Poultry only goes to C, of course.
You even provide a definition of Grade D beef! That's so nice of you! Really impressive, too, since it doesn't exist.
Educate yourself.
And stop pretending, and spreading your bullshit, okay?
Not to mention the salaries of the people paid to keep that network secure and alive. Why don't people understand that *nothing* is free?
I may just be shooting in the dark here, but I think it's likely that they don't charge $9.99 for broadband because it costs at least that much to provide it.
I'm not saying they're not overcharging, but they can't exactly pick any arbitrary price point and make up for it completely with 'volume'.
Yeah, you know what would be even *more* advanced? Word being able to tell that the fucking file was *EMPTY* and not have it take up 17k.
