Shouldn't they claim that GNU is the unauthorized UNIX derivitive?
<LOGIC="SCO"> Also included on the list of things we own because UNIX implements them:
TCP/IP stacks
Character-based informational displays
User-driven input
Binary
Use of an ordered list of numbers to control a central processing unit
Time itself.
These items are all standards-based and implemented by UNIX, therefore SCO, holding the copyright to UNIX, inherently owns all the above listed. </LOGIC>
Honestly, if POSIX compatablility is enough to be sued for infringing on UNIX, whouldn't SCO be able to go after...oh that's right, Microsoft already paid them off twice. It's becomming pretty obvious who's pulling strings around here. I think the red flag would have gone up on the GNU project a long time ago where there any validity to such claims.
GNU's Not Unix! (fsck, trademark violation! Head for the caves, you terrorists!)
IIRC, a person I knew several years back when I was in college had told me about how he and some of his friends had used some laser pointers to turn traffic lights to green. I have personally never seen this done. Has anybody else heard of or seen red laser pointers being used for this purpose?
The only reason I coudl think of that this would work is that since the laser pointer makes light in the red portion of the spectrum it also possibly (probably?) creates light in the IR portion of the spectrum (which IIRC is just below visible light) and triggers the IR sensor.
It also could be one of the types of sensors which senses a strobing light, and the coherent light from the pointer registers as bright enough; combined with waving it back and forth and perhaps it's just enough to fool it into seeing a strobe?
Some of these system I'm told are operated by the strobe lights on newer ambulance light racks, as opposed to infra-red systems. Thus, flashing high-beams isn't as crazy as it sounds. However, any camera with a multi-flash bulb for "red-eye reduction" is as effective or more on thusly configured systems, although strikingly more obvious.
Also, make sure no one sees you do this with the camera; police might mistake the flashes for possible gunfire, and even if they don't, I'm sure they won't be very happy with you manipulating emergency service routes.

Perhaps it's not true at all schools, but it *should* be.
Now I agree with you.

That's crazy. Universities don't teach programming languages except as tools to teach more important concepts.
You've been out of school for a while, haven't you?
Ahh, that's what it was. Yes, hers actually came with an S-Video to RCA adapter...Why I was thiking of RCA when I the subject was VGA I don't know... I guess posting to slashdot when you first wake up is not a good idea!
This was the first thing that came to my mind as well, but perhaps a much more secure method would be to have recipts, basically pre-printed with candidates names, much like the punch-card methods used now, and have the machine punch the hole of the person you've voted for.
After all, even CD copy protection can be defeated with a Sharpie, and a bar code leaves a possibility for similar tampering. Inagine if the codes are designed so that the addition of one small line It is much, much harder, however, to repair a hole in a piece of paper.
I was using Windows terminology to make it easier to understand for the person using Windows. Windows iTunes features Windows-style window widgets, on the upper-right corner.
Thus, in the position where the "Maximize" button normally resides in Windows is located the "Zoom" button in iTunes, which for all intents and purposes provides roughtly the same function, albeit a different end-result philosophy.
Better to have the backup of your purchased music. Imagine if your Windows HD toasted... I'm not sure how it would be handled but I believe you'd have to pay for each song again.
IIRC, the Maximize/minimize buttons don't work the same as regular Windows UI buttons do. On the Mac, the "Maximize" button effectively toggles between mini-mode and full size mode. Try that.
Sync is not the only way to get music too/from an iPod. that being said, sync is SUPPOSED to wipe out your iPod and refill it with your iTunes music directory so they match. RTFM.
The memory thing sounds like some kind of bug, report it. I have 512MB RAM (A Mac, however) and it runs fine alongside web browsers and whatnot.

The new Windows is based on SuperFX chip technology. James McCloud must be spinning in his grave.

No, they'll just claim the Microsoft version is much better, for obvious reasons they can't really specify exactly.
Or "cuz Apple is teh g4y!!!1"

LOL, I think that might be the best thing I have ever read.

You've got to be trolling.
ANY positive book review is advertising for the book being reviewed! Duh!

Is that as bad as waiting for the service and the whole OS to come back up?
VeriSign?
So basically what you're saying is that when comparing Microsoft to Microsoft, Linux still wins? God, we rule.

I started the "Society for Amature Radio Scientists", but for some reason, no one wanted to join.
Look in the preferences, iTunes will rip to whatever format you desire.

...is well all know Apple is going to do it right, as opposed to the other services?
Does that make $100mil to SCO from Microsoft?
