I live in NY as well, NYC to be exact. With that said unless you use ZipCar, when you rent a car here there's no EZ-Pass included. So I would gather that some of those "dumb" people paying tolls are rental car customers as well.:)
With that steep price, I would only have to justify it as being 1-1.5 semesters worth of books. Hmm, I wonder how many textbooks are available for the kindle anyway...
Yes, but in today's economy who is buying 1000's of new machines?
Personally, the firm I work for held off it's normal 3yr rollout of new machines and plans to keep these laptops at least another 1-2yrs. Currently we have 1.83GHz T60's with 1GB RAM and 5400rpm SATA I HDD's. I wouldn't want to throw full disk encryption on those guys, our image is already "slow" enough.:)
A subtle balance between encrypting most essentials and leaving non-essentials unencrypted. For example, you may want to only encrypt parts of your hard disk as encrypting the whole disk will impact performance.
Also, watch how external USB keys are encrypted. if you deal with clients and offer loaner machines, their USB drives could become encrypted and useless when they return to their own office.
I'm all for encrypting, however hopefully the higher ups also consider the potential performance hits and liability issues.
Um no, the Constitution was amended (Twentieth Amendment) and changed accordingly:
"Section 1. The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin."
So technically, his term started at noon no matter if he took the oath yet or not.:)
Reply All should be used sparingly. Nothing annoys us IT folks more than Reply All for NFR. "So and So received a promotion. Congrats." and the rampant Reply All'ing ensues.
It's called Netiquette. Perhaps along with normal training (please PLEASE tell me they train their new hires), proper Netiquette should encompass a normal training routine.
I think you are confused. By stating "If Palm wants to do so, they're going to have to do everything the iPhone does and do it better." I believe danaris was referring to the fact that if you want to compete directly with a product, you should do what it does and do it better. In addition, I might add that a ___-killer should do something ___ does not do, and do it rather well.
Further, The only reason there's yet to be an Iphone killer is the same reason that there isn't a Nokia killer or a Motorola killer is an incorrect statment. That's like comparing Apples to Oranges (NPI). To say Nokia Killer or Motorola Killer, you would need to say Apple killer not iPhone. However this product is not meant to "kill" Apple as a whole, but a product they produce, the iPhone. If you said no one has made a Nokia N95 killer or a Motorola RAZR killer, then that would be a better comparison.
I set reminders in my calendar rather than waste paper. Sometimes I do it at work, which will sync to my Blackberry, sometimes to my Mac with syncs to my iPhone. I get reminded, no paper wasted.:)
Nope, that was an easy place to start.:)
Having just taken a masters level algorithms class and doing Substitution, Vigenere and Affine ciphers I'm surprised they'd put up something so easy.:)
We just used this book in my Theoretical Foundations of Secure Computing (ie Masters level Algorithms) class and that book confused the crap out of the whole class.:)
Interesting idea actually. If license plates could have a RFID chip in them similar to EZ-Pass units, perhaps law enforcement could also have some sort of reader that will pick up on tags in the area to further correlate the photo taken.
Further, perhaps EZ-Pass units wouldn't be needed any longer if they could simply be linked to to an account and read at the toll readers.
Well, the accuracy of the cameras is now no longer in question, however you can introduce some doubt as to whether it was actually your vehicle that was photographed. Interesting thought on whether this can be used as a viable defense.

The (photo | remove tag) option would be "missing" for you since your account is deleted. I guess it'd be easy to tell it was "you" from there. :)

Don't do it.

Sounds too much like Fap Linux. That could get messy...
Wow, they moved on from cloning RFID tags to cloning
tags!

Damn, I kept refreshing but I can't seem to get through to first post. Maybe if I keep posting I'll be WSDT's 106th poster. What do I win??

On your third cup I take it?
Yeah, but Mt Dew "causes sterility". :) In the case of most /.ers this may be a wanted side effect.
In regards to your sig, my welcome what?
as well as making people think that others are "out to get them"
/continues drinking his 44oz coffee...
It's not "thinking" they are out to get you if they ARE out to get you, you insensitive clod!!

Must be green slips then huh?

The 3G radio actually sucks enough juice that Apple gave us a toggle option to use EDGE instead. :)
