I hear this argument a lot. Let me ask you this: how much "training" did you get for XP?
Unless they jumped straight from 3.11 to XP, that is hardly a fair comparison. A better question would be how much training they received when going from 3.11 to 95.
Heh, interesting that you should consider it strange. Personally, given the at least fourother techniques (could be five, first link is 4 techniques and second link is a single technique, but I didn't check if the second link was just repeating one of the 4 from the first) that already exist for sniffing wired keyboards, my only thought upon reading this was "and once more, wireless keyboards prove that they are capable of being more secure than wired."
I mean, sure it's trivially easier to sniff the wireless signals than those coming from the wired, but how can you be sure that the wireless receiver is actually picking them up?
I (and others too it would seem) am fairly certain you're making a joke since the sky is already blue, but in the past "blue sky" could also refer to the notion that, were there to be a major radioactive contamination event from, say, atomic bomb testing, those without the means to detect the radiation would not realize they were in danger until it was too late, since you'd still have the gorgeous blue sky.
IIRC, it's how they came up with the name for the movie Blue Sky, and I believe it was also mentioned in the movie itself, but I do not recall.
While God is not infallible, humans are. Thus, any changes God would make would probably be because humanity has become better equipped to understand things since the last revision.
Once that door is open and the "ownership" and control is gone, well then it is open season and you can expect the basest sort of stuff to start appearing.
Perhaps not the best example, as the peeing stickers are completely out of character for Calvin, but has it really hurt Calvin and Hobbes to have such ripoffs?
You can watch public television for free and get ads, or you can pay money to watch even more channels than you can get OVA and get ads except on the premium channels where you really are paying for the content and not just the delivery of it.
Right click what? The 1970's era "C: Drive" in My Computer? I think not.
You think not why?
Try again caveman.
Sorry, the Geico guys are out at the moment, but if you'd like I can try it again.
*tries again*
Well, what do you know? It worked again!Just like it did on Thursday.:P
I also just checked my Win7 beta install, and it can do it too. Now.. what exactly was the point of your post?
And it would seem as if I've struck a nerve with one of the moderators. Now don't get me wrong, I love Linux (though I'm still quite the newb), but let's be honest with ourselves. Based upon croddy's post (since, as a newb, if there are easier ways to format a disk, I do not know about them, as I am a newb), it is ridiculously easier to format a disk in Windows than it is in Linux. And the easier it is, the more likely it is that a "normal" user will know how to do it.
I'm fairly certain that 4-6 hours after the first dose you don't still have 1000mg of the stuff in your system. So after 16 hours I doubt that you'd have 4000mg swimming around in your blood stream. That said, I do not know what a continual level of the stuff swimming around could do to you, but don't the directions normally also include a "not to exceed X pills in Y hours"?
I do agree that if the directions are bad then it's an unsafe product, but this doesn't sound like that kind of situation.
It sounded to me like that was exactly GP's point. GP was stating that box cutters won't work anymore because the reason that they worked in the first place (if we sit down and shut up we'll get out of this alive) is not necessarily true anymore.
Cars in this country (and I assume everywhere else) have a function to "dip" the headlights.
Are you referring to high/low beams?
Maybe it's just a regional difference, but around here I rarely see people using their high beams. That is, the typical headlights I would come across can't be "dipped" any more than they already are.
You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. If you purchase a box of candy marked "no individual re-sell", and then turn around and sell it individually, you are no longer the customer, you are the seller. In this case, you're not choosing to forfeit your own right to be informed, you're choosing to forfeit the right of everyone else to be informed about the product you are selling.
Of course, the point seems moot because it seems to me that there are plenty of bulk candy stores around here that don't have such nutritional information on the bins, which I dunno how they get around that (maybe they simply make the info available to anyone who asks for it?).
Would you invite someone who spends his time beating mannequins with a lead pipe pretending to "kill" them in the process ? [...] I would not invite someone who plays quake during all his free time in a map filled of models of persons he likes just to kill them. It has nothing to do with realism.
Of course it has nothing to do with realism, I thought the point of mods like those was simply because I really really really want to god damn kill that fucking purple dinosaur.
If it's a friend of mine who's doing this, and I know they know it's just fun and games, then of course I'll still invite them, since I know that just because someone wants to repeatedly kill [INSERT_LIVING_THING_HERE] over and over again in a virtual environment, that does not mean that they are mentally unstable and will do the same IRL.
I didn't mean to sound like I thought every site was malicious, but to me it sounded like you were trying to say that as long as you don't run ActiveX, don't execute unknown email attachments, and are sitting behind a router, then you are 100% safe from bad things happening to you.
That same Average Joe User is probably using Adobe's PDF/Flash viewers, not knowing or caring about any alternatives, so yeah, I'd say they still have a problem.
Now that's not to say that Adobe is the only third-party product that introduces vulnerabilities. iTunes/Quicktime, Silverlight, even the browser itself can introduce additional attack vectors that completely negate the "I don't run ActiveX, I don't execute unknown email attachments, and I'm sitting behind a router, therefore I'm perfectly safe" argument.
Unless, y'know, the object you're after moves, in which case with the running back and forth between your computer (to get the new coordinates) and where the object was when you checked the coordinates, you may never get your object back.
First off, I'd just like to say that I wasn't trying to claim that CO2 will be the death of us, only that I did not believe that that particular argument about why CO2 _won't_ be the death of us does not work.
Along the same lines as the above, just because the planet was at 4000 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere some 500 million years ago, that doesn't mean that humans could have survived in such an environment, even though other lifeforms did.
Again, while I believe that we are fully capable of influencing the environment through our actions, I do not believe we as of yet understand _how_ we are influencing the climate, nor (given the fact that climate will naturally change over time even without our influences) do we know how to keep the climate comfortable for humans.

Depending on how strong the magnet is that moves it....
When that ownership expires [...] then we can have Calvin peeing on stuff
Where've you been for the last 20 or so years? :P
(warning, as my search term was simply "calvin peeing", I suspect it is possible that someone else's search results may be NSFW)

Right-click -> Format -> click OK
So easy a caveman could do it.
