Is that the one where one of the things you can do is use a little tele-operated robotic arm thingy to disarm missiles in flight, or something similar, by removing a hatch, pulling something out, putting the hatch back on, and so on?
Who cares about encrypting libc or the x.org libraries? People want to encrypt their financial, medical, and other such data. eCryptfs makes it easy to encrypt only what users want to encrypt.
Probably the people who don't want hacked versions slipped onto their machines to log all of their keystrokes, or something equally nasty.
Encryption serves a whole lot of purposes other than keeping your data unreadable, such as guaranteeing integrety, besides the obvious point that there's no point installing a deadbolt on your door if the hinges just pop right off.
Acutally, you'll find that in Japan, possibly other Asian countries, I forget, 'four' has about the same status that the number '13' has over here, due to the fact that the Japanese word for 'four,' 'shi' also means 'death.'
Ever wonder why there was a Palm III, and a Palm V, but no Palm IV? Or why Sony, for that matter, has a D-2, D-3, and D-5 digital video format, but no D-4?
McRaineys Corporation determined that the cost to clone an organism was $150,000, thus not economically viable. They also discovered, however, that the average American eats $170,000 dollars worth of McRaineys food in a year. They started cloning people, and gave them a predisposition to eat McRainey's food....
Sure, there are always going to be execptions. And then there are going to be the vast majority who either a) don't forsee such things, or b) just want to save the money. From Beverly Hillbillies to Quantum Leap to Felicity, to Macross 7, it's a problem.
Lets say that you make a TV show. You want a song for the theme song. Somebody writes that song. You like it, and want to use it. So you sign a contract saying that you have exclusive rights to broadcast that song at the beginning of each show; no other show can use that song as a theme song.
However, this being the fifties or sixties, it doesn't occur to you to acquire rights to the song for other purposes, such as putting out soundtracks or home video versions of the show.
So, now, forty years later, you go back to the rights holder or the estate, and ask for the rights. The rights holder nibbles on his pinky finger and demands several MEEELION dollars. So, you're faced with the choice of putting it out without the original music, angering fans but making a few bucks and at least getting what you can out into the world, paying for the upgraded rights, which means you're losing money to put the thing out at all, or simply not releasing, angering fans.
Nowadays, putting all that stuff into a contract is just standard; it's assumed that you're going to want to put the show in syndication, put it out on DVD, whatever.
The movie could have ended nicely right there, because what SHOULD have happened was that since HF had his seatbelt on, and Bad Guy didn't... well, rev it up to 65 then slam on the breaks. See you on the pavement!
And then, in fifteen minutes, when the Bad Guy doesn't call in, the guys with his family assume that HF has managed to take the bad guy out, and kills the family.
Sorry, but where's the contradiction between 'for programs that create or view documents" and "These standard menus are really designed for document-based applications"? The blogger says not to use the file/edit/view paradigm in non-document based programs, while the first quote is talking about...document based programs.
Why would it scare you? What a 'critic' looks for in a given thing, and what the average joe looks for in a given thing are generally two completely separate and distinct sets of criteria.
Now honestly, show of hands: who has their console (not PC!) connected to a display device capable of 1080p? Who plans on buying a device capable of 1080p?
I've read On Killing, and I find most of his data to be quite fascinating, but the conclusions, I take exception to.
Putting a man in a fox hole, handing him a rifle, and yelling at him to shoot while man-shaped popups will train him to shoot and kill, yes.
Putting him in front of a computer, and putting a mouse in his hand? Well, if that worked, the army would be doing it, don't you think? Probably alot cheaper to train that way than the old fashinoned way....
Oh, and Grossman also points out, as I recall, that the psychological damage comes not from the act of killing people, but from the reaction of your own people. World War 2 vets generally wern't all that scarred, as such, because they were treated like the heroes they are. Vietnam vets, say, were screamed at and spat upon when they returned stateside. Thence the difference.
remember that Star Trek got shopped around a lot before it actually made it to air. I believe CBS's reaction was 'why buy yours when we can make our own?' and in came LoS.
The book in question, by the way, is probably 'Star Trek Memories.' Been a while since I read it, but it has some good gems. Like the frustration with trying to get the green Orion Slave Girl to look right; they'd film, get the prints back, review, and she's perfectly white. Lather, rinse, repeat. Finally, they go to the film processing guys and say 'look, can we use a filter or something? We just can't get this girl to come out green.' The startled response is something like 'You *wanted* her green? We just assumed you had a shitty cinematographer, and have been busting our humps to fix it!'
The book is a basic physics primer (it starts by explaining good old f=ma) that happens to use comic book examples as illustrations, instead of random spheres or trains leaving Boston and New York at different times.
As opposed to, say, "The Science of Superheroes" which takes a look at the superheroes and tries to fit them to science; talking about Fermi's Paradox about superman, or Aquatic Ape theory for Aquaman, or high energy physics for Hulk.
If your response to having internet out for a day is any stronger than 'oh well, too bad' then at the very least you should blow the money on a cable connection, a DSL connection, and something like the Linksys Dual WAN router to do auto fail over. Even then, you need to understand that neither of those connections have any form of SLA, uptime guarantee, usability guarantee, or the like.
Want a five nines connection with contractual penalties, payable to you, for each minute of downtime? They have them, but they're not $100/month. As in all things, you get what you pay for.
Now, if only one could get a decent sound card to do discrete 7.1 channel output with digital decoding (preferrably hardware decoding) for an affordable price, that whole media PC idea might actually gain some ground in the marketplace.
Something by M-Audio, such as the Revolution 7.1, might fit your bill.
And note that gold connectors are only worth it if you're plugging into gold sockets; having one of the two be gold is actually worse, as I recall, than just using whatever connectors tend to be made out of....
Now the people who think that Monster cable (especially optical cables) are better than any other cable....
NT 3 was a fully microkernal architecture; all drivers were run in userspace. This, of course, was back in the days of the 386 and 486, and was deemed too slow. So, for NT 4, drivers were moved back into kernel space.

Similarly, Humanity cannot be said to be 'damaging' the envrionment, so much as 'altering.'
Hmm, could be. I'd need to go back to check the specific numbers.
I want some Corpus Crispies!

But he wasn't a superhero or an action movie star or an Indiana Jones; he was a computer geek who's family had guns to their heads.
Plus, of course, the challenge of defeating the security system probably intrigued him...

Here, let me rephrase:

But would listening to a work, then writing out what you think is the tabulature, not be more akin to reverse engineering than to copying?

At that rate, he should be able to edit the file type association to invoke the program itself.
