The problem I remember having with that game was that you couldn't spend more than 1/12 of your budget per month, even if that big expenditure would quickly return a nice profit.
What about the features that deal with applying black bars over text (can we build a PDF reader that completely ignores such data and see all the text that whoever did the obscuring thought was no longer readable?)
Those are simply rectangles dropped over the text, either printed by the word processor or added manually with a PDF editor. I'm pretty sure there isn't a specific "redacted" feature in PDF.
Yes, you need a tuner, but if you purchased a large set in the past year, or any set after about this coming March or so, your TV will either have a digital tuner or no tuner at all, not even analog. If you have an older "HD-Ready" set, you will have to look for a set-top box tuner.
If you have satellite, you may have or be able to get a box with an over-the-air digital tuner, but otherwise they are not easy to find at stores. The big box stores would rather sell satellite TV and get a spiff for doing so, so they don't stock many stand-alone tuners, if any at all. If you don't have satellite, be careful because a tuner box may not receive any over-the-air channels at all if you don't have an active subscription.
Presuming that the password is trivial or insecure (play with me here), does the default (or common) setting on OS X allow a telnet session to be established over the wifi link?
First of all, an "admin" account on OS X is merely an attribute of any account. Either it's a member of the admin group or it isn't. The first user created is automatically an admin. All that really allows you is the privilege to authenticate for super-user access, but then you have to re-enter your login password to do so. Most importantly, root and all the other standard unix usernames have logins disabled. If you know what you are doing, you can set a password to allow root logins, but if you know that much, then you are probably smart enough to know better.
And it isn't even possible to enable telnet on OS X unless you really know what you are doing. I could probably figure it out if I cared, but it's not worth the effort. Only SSH can be enabled via the GUI.
So now how exactly are you going to insert a trojan? Really, the only way in is to hammer SSH with a bunch of user/pass guesses and get lucky, and I have seen exactly that happening in logs, though they are obviously attacking Linux systems, as root is one of the accounts guessed. Someone has to both have an obvious username and an easily guessed password, at which point they were asking for it anyhow. This is why allowing root logins (vs using sudo) is a bad thing: the bad guys already know half of what they need to get in.
If you live in or near a major city, you might be able to pick up over-the-air HDTV with just a set of rabbit ears.
However, there is one important thing that you need to know, especially if you live close to the transmitter towers: you will probably need to rotate your antenna to pick up all the available stations. But if you just want the Super Bowl, find a list of what channels your local stations broadcast their digital signal on, and work on just getting that one station.
Digital TV with an antenna is nothing like analog TV with an antenna. You either get a perfect picture, or you get nothing. Or you could be right on the edge and it blinks in and out. The main enemy of a good signal is multipath interference, more commonly known as "ghosting" on analog TV.
Yes, you may have to go set up a rooftop antenna, and you m ay need to re-align it if the wind rotates it. So try rabbit ears or an in-attic antenna first. And right now most HDTV is on UHF, so make sure you get a good UHF antenna. VHF 7-13 seems to come in wonderfully with no problems, and VHF 2-6 is looking like it may get abandoned because it sucks for digital.
And beware of using amplifiers. Amplifiers, especially with an already strong signal, can make your reception worse. If you must use one, keep it as close to the antenna as possible, and make sure it's actually getting power.
That's because Sony got where they are today from the Saturn incident. Also, the 3DO failed so spectacularly that hardly anyone outside of a few gamer geeks remembers that it ever existed. If the PS3 goes the way of the 3DO, Sony is really screwed.
I do refer to the PS3 as the PS3DO from time to time, but it's not as fun as comparing them to Saturn-era Sega.
Actually you do. Well, all but one of them, for whatever reason, probably the "disabled for yield" SPU even though IBM hasn't had yield problems for months now. I recall that what you don't get access to is the GPU, or the PS3 game hard drive partition, and there are surely a few more things as well.
But you do get to play with the Cell, for what that's worth. I'd rather stick with a multi-core general-purpose CPU myself.
...within the next year or so, and it's that damn blue laser. If the supplies get much more plentiful and the price on those go down, then the price on the PS3 can go down, too.
A re-design to remove the PS2 chipset would also result in a price drop, but that's probably not going to happen for at least a year.
So how long did it take Sega to lower the Saturn from its initial price? If Sony takes longer than that, I think they're screwed.
When I failed to get a Wii this Sunday (I esentially bet on the wrong horse), I found someone who was interested in a PS3 without games. He worked for IBM and wanted something that would let him play around with the Cell processor.
I think the problem is that he represents a very small part of the market, whereas Nintendo is bringing in new gamers with Wii Sports. Now if they could just make enough of them, maybe I could have one too.
I've got a similar story. When a good local ISP got bought up by a crappy CLEC who ran it into the ground, I switched over to the ILEC's DSL offering. However, they never closed my e-mail account, so I kept reading from it. After a while they switched their authentication so that I had to log in as "user@domain.net" instead of just my user name, but it still accepted my password.
Naturally, all I got was spam on that account. But then the CLEC dropped the old domain name, which got snatched up by an ISP in New Zealand. So now there were no MX or A records pointing to that mail server any more under the old domain name. The only way to send mail there was with a "%" hack ("user%domain.net@newdomain.com"). Yet the spam still kept coming in. It must have been at least two years more before it finally wouldn't let me log in any more, and there was still a ton of spam coming in daily.
It does make me wonder if the New Zealand ISP got a lower than normal amount of spam during that time.

I had to read TFA twice just to be sure that it was actually about the trademark in the US, not Europe.
This is definitely turning out to be a crazy situation. I agree with TFA that this is probably why Apple didn't sign the contract with Cisco after all.
Well, it looks like Apple didn't turn in the contract after all.
So now they have to come up with a new name. I suggest that they keep in line with their new Intel naming and call it the "PhoneBook". They can even make a version with an aluminum case and a built-in keyboard and call it the "PhoneBook Pro".
Or they could call it the NewtonPhone, but I don't think that's going to happen as long as Steve's body temperature is above 35 degrees C.
If it hasn't been destroyed yet, then when has it been destroyed? If I were to fly toward it in a spaceship at light speed, the event would appear to happen 500 years earlier.
The simple fact is, it has already happened. It's just that the knowledge of the event hasn't reached us yet, other than the signs that it has will already be destroyed. (Gotta love those time-travel verb tenses.)

So is that a "free as in beer" launch or a "free as in speech" launch that there is no such thing as?
Or maybe "free as in fall"?
Those are simply rectangles dropped over the text, either printed by the word processor or added manually with a PDF editor. I'm pretty sure there isn't a specific "redacted" feature in PDF.
The maybe you should try Mac OS X. There's been a "save as PDF" button right there in the print dialog since 10.0.

I use ALTIMIT OS. Yeah, I know the market share is small, but we'll never get pwn3d. Windows is so full of holes they ought to outlaw it.

The word "free" in "free speech" doesn't mean "non-paid". It means free as in, uh, speech. Paid speech is still free speech.
Exactly. It was a law restricting freedom of speech, just as McCF also wrongly does.
I guess the hard part is that liberals don't consider it "press" unless they agree with it.
Now I can look for those Sega Genesis games in one convienent place!
I was expecting the "over 30" section to have the intelligent games, not the violent ones. Sheesh, what a let-down.
And get off of my yard, you punk kids!
It's the V-Twin engine used in Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Er, I mean notatrap!
One big problem is that people can just make them up, then you get the "greifers" who put bogus joke tags all over the place.
(remember, the opposite of "itsatrap" is "!itsatrap", not "notatrap"!)
Expect a letter from Apple's lawyers over your unauthorized use of their trademarks "iSuggest" and "iIn".
