Why not just have large coil magnets around the exterior doors of the secure areas? Any magnetic media that crosses the boundary gets erased. Cryptonomicron-like. If the laptop needs to be removed from the building, then pass it through the security window where the proper checkout logs are filled out.
Yes, it also has a paging mechanism. This feature allows the addition of up to 2 meg of memory to a TI-85 calculator which uses the Z80 processor if I'm not mistaken.
They probably agreed to pay the $100 Mil, because it's cheaper than hiring the legal staff to fight off DC's future legislation. It's easier just to pay 'em off than to fight it out in court.
There are already several white-listing methods. Cyber patrol has the commercial version, or if you prefer OSS, squidGuard has a good mechanism for white-listing.
I think that program starts this year, if I'm not mistaken.
It starts with incoming freshmen for the 2001-2002 school year. Also, you are correct in that the policy just requires A computer, not a laptop. I still wonder why this is needed. MSU has plenty of computer labs (both PC/Windows and Sun/UNIX). Some of these labs are even open 24 hours a day. Probably just a way for the Computer Store to make money.

Can you say "NAZI"? I think so. Forced military service service is no different than forced slave labor. It's a poll tax. It's fascist. It's a lot of bad things.
So by following your theory, no one experienced a "real" music experience until CDs were invented? Hardly! If anything, the properites of other recording mediums give music its character. Some music just has to have that 8-track-click to sound right.
Not to mention the fact that the VAST majority of Americans do not have access to an Internet capable computer. These may be commonplace in our (geek) houses; however, we must remember that computers are still a luxury, not a right.
No kidding. The reason I leave my desk is so that no one can page me, no one can e-mail me, my phone won't ring, my messanger won't go off, and nothing beeps. The last thing I want to is to be accessable everywhere I go. Technology is cool, but not when it invades the simple things in life.
It's not enforceable at the home-user level, but when my employer upgrades the 200 P5-100 machines in the office to PIII-800's and doesn't buy 200 new copies of Windows95......
I've developed VRML frontend to the X-10 control software heyu. By navigating my virtual room and clicking on appliances, I can turn them on and off without leaving the comfort of my chair.
No kidding, that's one of the worst porn sites I've ever seen. Especially one that's supposed to be designed for geeks! The picture pages are titled "Untitled Document" of all things. We know what that means! Moreover, there's no variety; it's the same chick and the same guy and quite frankly neither one is very interesting. That site needs to be pulled just because it sucks not because it's offensive or degrading to MIT's image.
You're forgetting that software has additional costs. First of all, development is the cheapest part of software. After that, the initial sale price of that software needs to (1) pay maintenence programmers to fix bugs, (2) pay for advertisement and promotion of the software to actually sell 180,000 copies, (3) A team of 24 hour on call tech support people for YEARS to answer questions from users, and (4) the devaluation of the initial price against the current market. The $40 you spent on software 2 years ago still needs to pay for maintenece programmers today at today's wage. That makes the $40 more like $34.
I don't agree with closed software development models; however, these are the actual costs that software producers incur.
I've worked as a public school sys-admin and I completely agree with filtering public schools. There is plenty of shit on the Internet that does NOT enhance the education environment, and thus has no place in the school!
This is the napster to kernel drivers, the Xerox machine to books. Remember, it's not Napster's problem that users violate copyright with the service. Nor is it Xerox's probolem that people photocopy copyrighted works on machines. We can have it one way or the other. If it's not Napster's fault, and if it's not Xerox's fault. Then Sun cannot possibly be held accountable for what people do with their software.
Remember, it is the responisibility of the user to ensure that no copyrighted source code is converted to binary drivers.
True, you may have larger aggregate bandwidth; however, any individual connection can only download/upload at the modem rate. Special exceptions can be made when you own the servers on the other ends of modems, but in a normal circumstance, it's not possible. In which case the whole system is kinda pointless, and everyone would be better off with their own modems.

Yeah...

etc....
I'm sure that will be an excellent system.
Yep. There was a Super Nintendo version of Battletoads. It definately kicked ass like the original.

There are no such things as "Gold Electrons." Electrons are electrons; it doesn't matter what element they came from.

I download more than that in a day!

I can see wearable PCs being more of a hazard than cell phones if used irresponsibly.
I think you mean when used irresponsibly.

You can do it in Slackware and Debian too.

Yes, we do have a ZERO-TOLERANCE law, and we're damn proud of it!
No Way! I have always loved SunSite. It's probably the best site on the net for this sort of thing.
