In the novel Head Crash, by Bruce Bethke, the main character mentions how he password protects the shutdown feature of his portable computer, rather than the startup. The reason is something like 'a freshman prank during the week before the final papers were due, involving runing through the library shouting 'SHUTDOWN!'
Generally, you've been able to simply supply the install disc for the previous version as part of the install, rather than needing it to be actually installed.
Also, I find that you basically need to offer a high 'flat rate' shipping cost, that will cover sending to the opposite coast, as buyers are too lazy to request an actual shipping quote.
You forgot 3), AKA 'the way it's supposed to be done.' Bid the maximum amount you're willing to pay. Walk away. Watch your email for the 'you've won' or 'you've lost' email.
For the first, you would watch every episode of Star Trek, and make notes. For the second, you would record the statistics for each unit, and start drawing conclusions.
Sure, but the standard for drinking water (at lower elevations) is to boil for five minutes, so one would assume that placing your sponge in boiling water for five minutes would get rid of most of the nasties.
According to this CNN article, elections cannot legally be suspended by the President. If I'm reading it correctly, it states that Congress could, however, change the election laws to do so.
Don't forget that PS1 video was encoded in motion jpeg. One could probably crunch down the images quite handily with a modern codec. In fact, I seem to recall that one of the PS1 Resident Evil games was ported to an N64 cart with all of the video intact.
Actually, yes. There have been cases of a teen taking pictures of themselves naked, and sending them to a boy/girl friend, and getting charged with trafficking in child pornography.
I don't know about you guys, but when I walk into Futureshop (Canadian electronics store), I am not at all impressed by any of the flat screen TV sets.
You can't trust any electronics store displays of screens, in brightly lit rooms, set to 'torch mode' contrast and sharpness, and hell, they probably don't even have the aspect ratio on the DVD player set correctly, to tell you how good a screen is.
Go to a dedicated HT shop, where they have viewing rooms, and take a look.
'Killed' implies directed action. "Woman Killed in Wii-Related Competition" sounds like one of the other contestants offed her to avoid losing or something.
"Woman Dies in Wii-Related Competition" implies that her death was directly related to the competition itself. "Woman Dies During Wii-Related Competition" implies that she was a spectator or something, and that her death wasn't related to the competition itself.
At least, that's how I'd use those various phrases.
Sun giving away Solaris, either by opening part of the source or by giving away free media and licenses, is a major shift for them. "Desperation" might be too strong a word, but Sun is certainly going through some collective soul searching.
The Solaris 2.6 CDs that I got, free of charge, sometime around, oh, 1999, 2000, under exactly the same concept, disagree that this is new, or a "major shift." Or the Solaris 7 CDs, for that matter.
Nah, they've been doing this for years and years and years. I have a copy of Solaris 2.6 kicking around somewhere, same deal; shipped for absolutely free, by request.
No different than any other tech company giving free for personal use or student copies of software.
I've also seen some backscatter mail from poorly configured virus scanners that don't know that viruses spoof the from: or reply-to: address.
Ah yes, stupid virus scanners, at both the mailserver and the user level, that send back a bounce. Especially the extra stupid ones that include the original message in a bounce, which sends the virus laden message to an innocent third party...who's antivirus then bounces the virus laden message right back....
PersonA gets virus. Virus on PersonA's machine connects to PersonA's ISP SMTP server, and sends out ten thousand messages as personb@example.com.
PersonA's ISP server dutifully accepts these messages, and tries to send them. Each and every one, in this example, is to an invalid recipient. So each and every message goes like this:
ISP Mail server: telnet recipient.mail.server 25
HELO it.is.me!
MAIL FROM: personb@example.com
RCPT TO: invalidaddress@mail.server
550 unknown address
'Oh, noes!' thinks the ISP mail server. 'This poor message can't get sent! I better let the sender know! Lets see, the sender would seem to be....personb@example.com! I will send them a delivery status notification, also known as a bounce message, immediately!'
And personb gets 10,000 'undeliverable message' messages.
To carry on the Rock Star motif, they need only make a wireless adaptor that the PS2 Guitar Hero guitar can plug into, which clips onto your belt or onto the guitar strap, for use with the 360.
You forgot the most important fact: the action/criteria that one manager will absolutely not hire you without, a different one absolutely will not hire you with.
The classic example is a 'hobbies/interests' section on a resume. Ask ten hiring managers, you'll get ten answers.

I agree. We'll have to nuke his house from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

If so, then floppy disks will continue to be sold at music stores.
But if the computer industry no longer uses them, don't be surprised when computer stores stop carrying them.
Well, because part of their job is to pussyfood around BS red tape. It goes by many names, but the most popular one is 'due process'.

I always liked the theory that SPAM, in terms of unsolicted bulk email, stands for Self-Propelled Advertising Material.

You know, doing the work.

That's what I thought, too. But then I thought, 'make your highest AND your lowest priority servers dummies.'

Furthermore, one will never require 640k of RAM, right?
Actually, yes. There have been cases of a teen taking pictures of themselves naked, and sending them to a boy/girl friend, and getting charged with trafficking in child pornography.
But current players won't be forwards compatible.
