Just out of curiosity, how do you know it is totally inert? Did you subscribe for a month and see if they could unlock it? What if the part of the system that unlock remotely, and possibly remotely kills the car, is a different part then the push blue button, talk to operator part.
Oh...wait...even simplier....I setup a strong password in my bios that will be required at power-on...exactly how was it you were going to hack that again?
That one is easy. Take the hard drive out, and mount it in another PC. Didn't "hack" your system but I have all your data none-the-less.
That very well could be the philosophy behind this, however the rest of the linux community need only point out that linux is very broad terms and that if this proves that Suse linux can't cut it, then there is a distro out there that could....
That is an absurd argument. Muskets back then were as deadly as guns today, medical advances have made it so. How many people survive a gunshot today versus back when the Constitution was written? And the stupid "AK-47" or [Insert favorite automatic sounding name here] argument is BS because Any kind of Automatic firearm has been COMPLETELY ILLEGAL for a very long time!
Not saying you are wrong, as I don't know you and cannot possably tell you your wrong, but I travel for work all the time. This year alone, I have only spent about 4 weeks at home. I was traveling once about 4 months after 9/11. I went to Omaha NE, and did some work, and while I was there, I accidentily left my ID in the rental car. So I went through the extra security for not having an ID.
After that I haven't had any extra security except for flights that come up suddenly and get booked a day or two before the flight.
On a different note, another scientist friend of mine just told me his six-year-old daughter burst into tears when she found out Pluto isn't to be considered a planet anymore.:-(
If MECOs are proven to exist and thus prove that Black Holes do not exist, then Kip would have to give back the year of Pentohouse that Stephen has already bought for him. And Kip would have to buy four years of Private Eye for Stephen.
Stephen Hawking bet Kip that Black Holes do NOT exist as an insurance policy.
I agree. Like at my bank, I can set it up so that I can transfer money from my account to yours online, however before I can actually do that, I have to fill out a form saying so much that I want to link my account to yours, and then sign it and take it into the bank.
So it will take a few days before a new account can get any money from my account. Seems like an ok deal to me...
And it seems to work, like when I was going through my divorce, the ex wanted to be able to transfer money from my account to her new personal one, and even though whe was on the account as well, I had to sign the form....
How about this idea. You have your security token or what ever. You log into the bank website. Before any action on your account can take place, you have to call from a telephone into the banks 800 number, enter your account number there, and the bank computer tells you what action is trying to be performed, and you acknowledge it.
Making sure of course that users know the 800 number prior to using the online banking, and don't put the 800 number on the website where the MITM will be able to change it to his own 800 number.
I see this as a pretty large pain in the ass, however most good security is a pain in the ass.
On 3-1/2" disks, you could take a low-density 720K disk, and make a hole on the other side (drilled, not punched, because you're going through hard plastic), and the computer would then recognize it as a double-density, 1.44MB, floppy.
Actually punched worked too... I remember using a hole punch. Took a few disks of practice, but once you found the sweet spot you got it pretty easily!
Basically it sets up a sound card drvier on your computer that all the programs that emit sound use to play back through, and you can record that sound into different formats like mp3 and ogg as it is played through your speakers...
Hmmm, I never had a SNES controller wear out. I have been playing a game and the character stops moving, I look down and the cable for the controller was going into one side of my dogs mouth and out the other. As soon as the dog opened it out a peice of cable falls out. Of course I just stripped the wires, and used electrical tape or duct tape to put it back together and continue playing.
It was the NES console that had problems. The old, blow in the game, put it in, push it left, push it right, take it out, put it back in, opver and over again untill you get it to work....
Yeah but the difference between a soloflex and a game console is that the soloflex company makes their money by selling soloflexes, so yeah they don't care if you ever use it. But every game console company that I have ever heard of doesn't make the majority of their money from the sale of the console. They make it of licensing the games, and if the kids don't play the console at all, no games get sold...
Hmmm, so the loss of a sale isn't theft? Therefore the loss of the profit of the sale isn't theft either. Therefore if I take money from you it isn't stealling????
Or is it that the taking of money from microsoft isn't stealing because they are a large corperation that nobody likes anyway?
This whole line of argument is useless. Wether it is games, or music or what ever. You cannot say that you aren't stealing, because you are. You are depriving the right holders money, and that is the same as stealing money from them.
As for the primary point you where making: how does a job in the military teach personal finance?
Because part of Basic Training is courses in Personal Finance
And "can provide security clearances which translate into govt jobs" is a total nonargument. If you need clearance and you didn't get any through the military, you get it when you need it (and are vetted at that time). Saying that getting it through the military translates into more jobs is insane.
Right, like Wolfgang said, you have no idea what you are talking about. Lets just propose that you and I are appling for the same job. Let's even say that you might be slightly more experienced then I, but the job in question requires a Top Secret Clearance ( or higher ) and I have one already and you don't. Now is the company going to hire you for the better experience and then spend $35,000.00+ to apply you for your clearance and 10 year back ground check, with the possability that you are unable to get it, in which they are out the money, and you are out the job, or are they going to hire me where they have no gamble at all. I would come with my clearance and they wouldn't have to spend a dime on it. And depending on when my last five year update was done, they might get a few years of service from me prior to having to pay to update my clearance.
That decision should be the easiest to make. You choose Apache+PHP+MySQL versus IIS+PHP+MySQL and then you can run the exact same PHP files on each setup so that there isn't an advantage to the side that know some shortcuts in any language...
You very well might be able to send eight messages for the same price as a minute of voice. However, how many characters can you read in a minute? I believe you could convey more then eight text messages worth of information in a minute. Also an advantage to voice is tone. Text messages you cannot convey information except by words, where as with voice you can use tone of voice to help convey information and thus leave some words unsaid.

Well first off we would have to get him into the military. The congressional medal of honor can only be awarded to military.

Just go with one of the readily available recorders out there like http://www.soundrecorder.net/Sound Recorder.
Basically it sets up a sound card drvier on your computer that all the programs that emit sound use to play back through, and you can record that sound into different formats like mp3 and ogg as it is played through your speakers...

. The war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq did absolutely nothing to ensure your freedom, or mine.
You are absolutly right. Those wars did nothing to ensure your or my freedom, however neither of us live in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Those wars did a whole hell of a lot to ensure the freedoms of the people living in those two countries....
Or maybe you think that people who live in either of those two countries deserve a chance at freedom?
