Read the report, please. Sez jet fuel only a factor in setting rest of building contents and plane cargo ablaze, and alone would not have caused structural failure. Addtionally sez approximately 1/3 of the fuel payload caught fire. Fire control systems not intended to extinguish fires, only to keep building cool enough to remain standing until fire consumes available fuel. Like I said, you might want to try reading the actual report.
Why not honor the cat for who (s)he is. The trophy is brought home out of love and respect for you. Yes, they're icky...Instead of getting angry at my cat, I smile and think "Oh, isn't that sweet?". You might want to give that a try, probably will take you a lot less time than hacking together your proposed lockout device.
IANAL but It's Labor Code. Waiving it does not make the employers act legal. Listen to me now and believe me later. If an employee could waive their rights under the Labor Code, every labor agreement would waive worker's comp, sexual harassment, bathroom breaks, etc. I think you get the picture. We have the Labor Code specifically so an employer cannot make what the legislature has deemed to be unreasonable requests of its employees.
I believe any intellectual properties gained via such an agreement, are the fruits of a poison tree. (my lawyer boy best friend would kick me in the ass if he heard me saying that =) The real barrier is who's got the deeper pockets.
It may by means of technicality, qualify as a hack. Calling this a "clever" hack is quite pathetic. Punching code in via the front panel on an Altair 8800, and then listening to the music created by the RF radiation on an AM radio, qualifies as a "clever" hack, IMO. I mean, some chins need to hit the floor to qualify a hack as clever...I'm not impressed one bit...And I'll still carry my m505 along with my iPod.:-O
And one of the editors over there posted something to the effect of he wasn't worried about what apple.slashdot.org meant for macslash. Never underestimate the/. effect.
If you're talking about adding 256MB to the 128MB, that should improve things a lot, at least with OS X. The system is definitely paging out with 128MB. I suggest 384MB or 512MB, because 256MB is a little slim, even when using the nifty window compression for OS X, IIRC, you get about 50MB free with window compression turned on w/256MB. @512MB, my TiBook hardly ever pages out.
New G4's have Ultra ATA-100, at least according to the guys at my local "Genius Bar". I know the specs on apple.com simply say "Ultra-ATA", that's why I asked. Planning on getting me one of those 933 pups here in a month or so... And for all the "Apple is slow" guys out here, my 667 TiBook running OS X totally runs circles around my old P-III/600 running either Linux or Win2K, and it's a lot easier to look at too.
In California, I'd say releasing the sterile (by irradiation) Med Fly was preferable to spraying the entire human populations with Malathion. And apparently much more successful.
No it's just that the NIH wave is now reaching slashdot. If *I* didn't think of it, it must be a hoax. Either that or some really good dope. Anyone reading/. for a while has seen the Espresso PC, which is actually much smaller than a DIN slot.
I know this sounds a bit too subversive. I'm not sure M$ intends to help Lindows promote its products. I can say without a doubt that suing them will go a long way to put Lindows in the public eye. And M$ spinmeisters aren't _that_ stupid. It will be hard for M$ to show any damages before the product ships, so Lindows gets a bunch of free publicity and then changes its name. I doubt they'll even have to pickup M$ legal bills, because it is only a perceived threat until the product ships. My call is it's more Embrace, Extend and Extinguish. This time, the extension comes later to XP. The extinguish when XP apps no longer run on Lindows.
What we've all been waiting for...a gigazistor! Enjoy it while you can. No doubt, sooner or later, the LinguisticallyCorrectNazis from Academia will change the name to gibizistor.

Cracking terrorist systems is not a fair analogy. Mr. Schwartz did the cyber-equivalent of forcibly entering a locked room in his employer's building with a sign on the door that says "Authorized Peronnel Only", just so he could get his email quicker.
I do believe the court overreacted in the penalty phase of the trial. IMO, it should have been more like a B&E conviction. Mr. Schwartz' cooperation and apparent minimal moral terpitude (he admitted he knew it was wrong) should have earned him some mercy from the court.
The lesson here for the rest of us: "You have the right to remain silent". Once you're in an interrogation, the cops are hardly ever your friends. Those cops screwed him just like Sipowicz does his "skellz" every day.
Oh great, that should be real easy for your average XP-using dum dum. When will they just release security fixes straight to Windows Update? I guess they still don't get it.

A. None. They just declare darkness to be the new standard.

You'll never get an "Unrecoverable Application Error" in Windows 95.

Oops sorry, I mean thanks to the Beakster for the tip.
No problem. Thanks for pointing me where to find the "real" info about Macs.

Thanks for the 411. I will go beat the genius with the cluestick. I had this funny feeling when I wrote that post... Thanks again.

Or a license that permits you to use development tools released under the cancerous GPL.
What really happened is the slashdot folk noticed 150+ posts on some of the Macslash threads a couple of weeks ago.
This is the RAMBUS debacle all over again. Move along.
