A better way would be to sell the access points "pre-secured" with an unique password for each one, but that will increase the cost of the devices. Don't even need to do that much. It could be secure with some simple password like 'password' for all of them. The basically makes the router "door" is closed but not locked with good "key". So if you really want it to be open, you remove that password, basically inviting anyone to use it. Now you know what is freely accessible and not. If you use the 'password' then you are trespassing, but if it's open, it's like a welcome sign on the front lawn.
Hell, my router passcode is 'cookie', now you have a key, but don't know where the door is. Even if you did know where it was, I'm not giving your permission to use it. So if you use it, even though I told you the passcode, legally you shouldn't be able to use it, because I didn't give you permission and I have barrier preventing you from using it.
What else is new? RIAA wants to get rid of webcasters. First they failed at outlawing them. Now they want to tax them, where the RIAA sets the price and takes the money, so that webcasting doesn't become a good business model anymore. And let's not forget the screwing of the artists from this new found money.
I seriously don't listen to any music that I don't have already. I only get music from friends and only if they highly recommend it, and I still don't listen to most of that. 90% of my music listening is from the music I bought years ago which is less than 50 CDs. I never listen to the radio: too many ads and annoying disc jockeys, and music I couldn't give a rat's ass about.
Don't think I never listen to music. I listen to it everyday, on my 40 minute commute to work, at work for 9 hours, in the car wherever I go. But I only listen to the same stuff I have been listening to for 10 years at least. Once in a while I'll pop in a CD that a friend lends or gives me, but I always switch back in about 1 week to my music.
Are you for real?
It has never been legally permissible to enter a building without the owners consent. There is no such thing as a "public building" - buildings are private property owned by individuals, companies or the government that in some cases deal with the public. You are not allowed to simply enter a building and start using the facilities provided. Are you serious? I can walk into a Starbucks (a business) use the bathroom (provided no signs stating otherwise or locks/persons to stop me, which most don't have) and leave. Is it legally wrong? No. Is it morally wrong? Yes, I should have bought something to provide revenue to the establishment to maintain the bathroom properly. This website is basically the same. It's a business, people came in and used the streams, there were no signs saying it wasn't allowed and no restrictions on getting to it.
I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but man I would totally LOVE THAT. If the sunset at like 9pm, it won't matter to me when I wake up for work or what it looks like outside. Most of the time I would like to sleep on the bus to work, but instead I sleep on the ride home. The reason is in the morning I get the freaking sun blazing into the bus (can't always sit on the dark side), and on the way home the sun is already down (until DST). I don't need the sun in the morning, nor while I'm at work. I would prefer it to come out during the afternoon, and blaze on into the evening until around 9pm. I do want some darkness in my evening, but that would be choice for me.
That way I can go sailing until 9pm (club only sails until sunset), and I would still have the dark morning hours for doing chores and tasks that don't require the sun. I would have modded you Interesting instead of FUNNY, but I really wanted to point out that I agree with this idea and why.
You should be marked up informative. I didn't know that about Canadian Law. It's really interesting cause if you saw "American Dad" on Sunday they had a bit where Roger (acting as a psychologist) is convincing the neighbor's wife (who's tied up) to commit suicide, and moments later she's hanging from a noose and still tied up. I mean really what kind of message is this show sending to people? I know it's wrong to counsel someone to commit suicide, but there are a lot of dumb people out there that wouldn't see past all the wrong things in the show.
Imagine you don't die, but you just suffer endless agony as you go through some good times and lots of bad times. Perhaps it would have been better to die, then at least you could have installed XP before it was gone (or some other OS).
Also www.alienware.com is still offering XP (home or pro) I just ordered myself a new machine with bells and whistles. I could have built it myself, but I'm a lazy bastard. I put XP Pro on it, and will eventually get Vista if it ever becomes stable. Basically I wait until my work place rolls it out and then if it works well there, then I will "upgrade".
I actually use GIMP when I want to fiddle with photos beyond simple cropping or tweaking. Gimp is awesome at doing what photoshop charges for. For the hobbyist like me, GIMP is worth it, PS is not.
While I like the searchable start menu and find it a very welcome addition, it is the only welcome addition that I have found. Does anyone know of software for XP that will duplicate this functionality? Google Desktop is your answer. I love it. I never hit start anymore. There is a setting where if you hit Ctrl twice a search bar will popup and I just type the first few letters of the program I want to start (shortcut name or filename).
Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that is dangerous. And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you... or maybe you shouldn't bring me every little piece of trash you happen to pick up.
Why would a person willing to blow themselves up have any kind of anxiety? They probably walk right in with a grin on knowing that they could blow up all that security and people waiting to get through causing chaos at that airport. They have nothing more to live for than to blow up people.
The people with anxiety are those who have something to live for and are doing something they shouldn't: drug smugglers, warrants, etc.
Wait... couldn't you just add something to the random number? Or perhaps shift the digits over? or just do anything to the number generated and then *poof* no backdoor? Or am I not understanding this?
I know in Perl's rand function you can seed it with whatever you like. I'll admit I'm not a cracker.
I beg to differ. Most of my work is in Perl and I work with one other person. Most times we are working on our own programs which work together eventually. We have different coding styles (helps us know who wrote what) and we often have to look at and adjust each others code. We usually bust on each other for mistakes and laugh at some of the comments we put in. Glad clients never see our code:)
There is also other forms of communication with face-to-face. Body language and even some lip reading happens most of the time, especially in noisy environments.
I agree. Almost everyone I know loves the iPhone for basically these things: maps/directions, email/text, phone, camera. It has web and music and other things, but must people don't love it for that.
Most people I know only use these things 90% of the time with their phone: phone, text. The other features are barely used if ever. Some people don't even know how to use the other features.
Text and phone are the most important features and "must have"s. All the other features are just "nice to have"s. I use a real camera as a camera, and a music player for music. Email would be great on my phone, but entering text is clunky, so I mostly use it for reading email only. Maps/directions is really cool, but I wouldn't want to pay extra for it. Most people feel this way in the end. Cool features are nice, but I don't want to pay extra since I'm not gonna use it most of the time.
People are not flocking to smartphones, because they haven't be designed right yet. That's the only thing I think Dvorak got right. Gphone might change all that, basically if they just charge for the features you want, then they got a sale with me if I can play less for not having a camera and music, and a little more for better email and maps.
I agree completely. I don't think my parents raised me correctly, I learned most of my lessons on the streets. When I went to college I met people who basically had parents monitoring them 24/7 (through technology or other) and then they went berzerk with freedom and basically didn't have any inhibitions to drinking, sex, and drugs. This didn't happen with me and I guess I didn't fit in for the first few years since I didn't have this urge to do the things parents would normally disallow, since I was always able to do these things anyway.
Basically I think you are right on with how you define discipline. If you don't teach them consequences then how will they refrain from doing it again? How will they learn to apply this other unknown situations to measure the consequences of actions never taken before?
Consequently, the school where I saw people flip out and go crazy with freedom was at an Ivy League school. Perhaps 1 out of 10 of those people I knew dropped out (or were kicked out) before graduating.
Ringo was great for this. They also sent an email like every 3-6 months asking if everything is still up-to-date. I really wish people would use this more often, but it doesn't happen. I would love one central place to find phone/email/postal address etc. But there are too many sites.
I would say it's RSI, you can rehab it yourself if the pain isn't too bad. I'm not a doctor, but I had a similar experience as you. I never went to a doctor, what I did was first fix my posture and KB/M setup on my desk at home and work. I got the Smart Glove, but anything that gets rid of the stress on your hand at odd angles will work (wristpad, etc). Then I avoided KB/M use until the pain went away for a few days. Then I started to work out the wrists with small weights, like dumbbells. I started doing small exercises and then I started doing Tae Kwon Do, but any workout is better than none. Basically I worked out more often and the pain subsided and went away completely for good. Now my pain only comes back if I use KB/M at a bad angle/posture for more than an hour and that pain goes away as soon as I stop.
Prototype for a long time??? Do you remember the boomerang controller? They haven't change anything. They really need to change it to make it more ergonomic or cooler or something, but their controller is the only one that is still last gen looking.

If it's not free (as in beer), it's not for me.

Looks like something Sony would do, pay off a company to make knock-off of competitor product that is worthless.
