Actually, it looks like SP2 broke USB 2.0 on my T40. I've tried everything short of reverting back to SP1, and my USB2 devices still function at USB1.1 speed.
I have no idea why it's happening, but I do know that several other people have reported this problem.
A clueful cracker with console access can usually get access to data. If the laptop is stolen, so is the data
RTFM.
Do you know how password protection and data encryption works on laptops? No, you don't.
There are several layers of security involved. First, the BIOS and the HDD both have password authentication mechanism. The BIOS stores its passwords on a custom chip which scrambles its I/O. Resetting the BIOS master password is possible, but it requires a highly modified chip programmator and a skillful person.
The HDD stores its password on the platter and requires it before it will allow access to any data. To bypass this mechanism, you must engineer your own HDD controller chip which will skip the authentication and the PCB for it and transplant it in place of the one on the HDD. This is virtually impossible unless you have very good friends in the HDD manufacturer company.
Finally, after the HDD allows access, the software encrypts selected files using strong encryption and stores the keys on the secure (TCPA) chip. The secure chip requires a passphrase before it will allow access to the keystore. It is virtually impossible to bypass this and retrieve the keys from the secure chip without knowing the passphrase.
Therefore, to retrieve the data from the stolen laptop's HDD, you must first possess either extreme competence in electronics or extremely good illicit connections in the industry, and second, brute-force industrial-strength encryption on the files. Good luck.
Paint Shop Pro's functionality has been anything but basic for the past three releases. In fact, in some areas (like vector layers) it's been far superior to Photoshop for a long time.
This is definitely not the way to do it. If you need interpolation via changed lens configuration, why not shake a lens element in a controlled way? Shaking the whole camera body is just stupid, and I highly doubt the noise from that will be recoverable.
Also, you will most likely not be able to "capture a hundred images at current resolutions in the same amount of time it takes to capture a single image" in the near future. Modern sensors have massive noise as it is; they will not be able to capacitate a hundred times faster with acceptable noise without a technological breakthrough. Have you read the article? What they're doing is simply using huge lenses and putting a lot of CCD sensors (in a cryogenic, clean-room environment) next to each other. This is not achievable in regular cameras.

Hey smartass, not all HTTP traffic has to go over the web. Many HTTP servers and clients are perfectly mature enough to perform mission-critical tasks in non-embedded, human-interface applications over controlled networks.

Of the four methods you listed, only #3 does not require admin control over httpd and is automatic (which was kind of the point, DOH). I don't quite see how javascript is better than META REFRESH, especially since the latter is part of (D?)HTML while the former is an extension available in fewer browsers and turned off by some users.
I would guess the op amp is just for amplifying the RF signal to/from the antenna. Since I was unable to identify the main IC, it could be any device that inputs/outputs RF...
I'm not an IC specialist, but after a brief search and some reasoning I have an idea - it might be a stripped-down UHF/VHF transciever (the system board without an enclosure, speaker, channel selection knob, etc.) Possibly the person who used it did this specifically to disguise it from cops - any cop will recognize a transciever enclosure, but this will probably get little attention beyond bewilderment.
There's safety in numbers. Given the amount of open APs, the threat of serious abuse of my AP is far outweighed by the benefit of further promoting ubiquitous access - and cooperating with my neighbors for redundant access coverage.
Funny, I never noticed either of these qualities in 5 months of using latest builds (Firefox itself, on the other hand...)
I've never had a crash attributable to TBE. It's a bit slow with 60 tabs open, but that can be expected.
The bug reports are not accepted because it's a complex and tightly integrated extension. In my experience, it's far more stable than the Firefox codebase itself.
In fact, the building is beautiful right now. Anyone with a trained eye would rattle off a whole lot of reasons why
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Do not tell me in your categorical tone that if I don't appreciate a certain work of art (and of course architecture is art) I am somehow deficient. (Yeah, I know you weren't talking to me.)
I agree with the generic points you have made. But don't dig up examples of unconventional architecture - even if they are hailed as breakthroughs among architects - because I know enough to make my own opinions. I think the Bank of China HK tower and many other HK towers are among the most beautiful things ever built by man. I also think that more than half of the buildings you noted, including the Stata Center, are aesthetically pieces of shit, and will remain so in the future. I am entitled to this opinion, I have my grounds for it, and I don't state it categorically as absolute truth. You, on the other hand, engage in cultural (architectural?) elitism.
He's talking about dissipation of the hit. Not of the person's body.
Stab your bare arm with a needle. Now cover your arm with a metal plate and stab it with the needle. The hit has been dissipated, and thus won't damage you. In a motorcycle crash, this is a difference between being impaled on (for instance) a corner of a bench and just getting a big hit from it all over your abdomen.
I bought a Netgear GS-108 3 months ago at $150. Not to put Asante down, but this line of switches (Netgear's FS and GS) has unbeatable quality, even if the LEDs are very uninformatively used on this one.
Now to actually get a RAID setup that can load this thing to capacity...
Yeah, I know these things, I've got some minimal education about how airframes work:)
The original Mehve wing is longer and perhaps thicker than the model. Take a look.
Without a vertical tail, the winglets are the only vertical structures providing any kind of lateral stability, but the original doesn't have them. What we really need are aerodynamic tests of the closest replica of Miyazaki's actual model. Now that'd be fun.
And that's the way it should be. Nobody should have to be an expert in driving, computing, piloting, building, or any other common activity. The more simple, intuitive, and automated a technology is, the more superior it is.
Personally, I believe Howard Shore didn't do that well on the third soundtrack. The first one was good, the Two Towers one was great, but ROTK was far from an all-out finale. Few new themes were introduced, and old ones were not revisited as well as they could have been. I agree that perhaps the great battles of ROTK deserved undivided attention, but the music for both Pelennor and Black Gate was a disappointment compared to Helm's Deep. The only track that was as stunning as most of the Two Towers tracks, to me, was The Return of the King.
In my opinion, and unfortunately for Howard Shore, he has a great competitor this year. Hans Zimmer's Last Samurai soundtrack is his best and most monolithic work to date, and though it doesn't possess Shore's clout, I think it by far deserves the music Oscar over its competitors this year.
My cell phone BEGS for an IP address, as does my toaster, in fact, so I can mark my calendar for it to toast bread for me every weekday morning at 6:02 AM. My cell phone needs a real non-NATd address to run network applications, videoconference over IP, and accept VoIP calls; and I would like to address my toaster while my laptop is plugged in on a public wireless network, not just at home. Why do you consider yourself fit to decide whether people need something like an address space that you can't run out of?
IPv4 is a glass ceiling that needs to die. The longer it stays, the more ugly hacks it will require for the world to function.
Many people prefer to work in cafes. As in, write novels, papers, manuscripts, or read for research, for many hours. They may even credit your cafe in the finished work, but in any case they are valued frequent customers. So no, lack of AC outlets is no substitute for a real quota/abuse prevention or access control system on a WAP.
Actually, I believe the largest paved runway in the world is at Zhukovsky (east of Moscow). It's 120 m wide and 5.4 km long (something in excess of 16000 ft), and has no set weight limit. It was used for testing the Buran carrier craft which together with the orbiter had over 600 tons GTOW.

Runs with no hiccups on my P2-350 with 512M of PC100 RAM. Not blazingly fast, but no annoying slowdowns either.

A LOT of people do that.
Pretty much everyone I know does that. Knowingly.

You just never heard it because of the noise.
Proton failures (which would have lead to a Soyuz loss if it had been a Soyuz mission)
nitpick:
Soyuz flies on its own rocket (also called Soyuz). Proton lifts 3 or 5 times more than the Soyuz and is not man-rated.
