It's been pointed out recently to me (at least here in Alberta, Canada), that university enrollment drops when the economy's strong, and picks up when the economy slows. There's at least a couple factors here. One, when the economy's not doing great, a university campus is a relatively secure place to be while you wait out a temporary drought. Secondly, while the economy's doing good, it's generally easy to get a well-paying job, which presents a stronger competition vs the academic route.
On that note, the economy's looking pretty rosy up here right now, so we're definitely looking for potential students at the University of Alberta's Computing Science department!
At some point, it's gotta get decrypted, with some kind of key. The contents will have to be in memory at some point. Hell, the key's gonna be in memory. If you've got total kernel-level access to the system, you can do whatever you want with memory, including just reading these things right out from under the app's that use them.
Now I don't know alot about vista, or this trick, so I couldn't say if it gives you that level of access, although it sounds like it.
This would hold true if Ford cd players and FM radios were intentionally mis-designed with flaws that forced music producers to create non-standard CDs and radio transmissions if they wanted their content playable by Ford customers, and in the process, ensured that these non-standard formats made sure that content made for Ford vehicles was exceptionally awkward to use in non-Ford vehicles, so much so that a large portion of the music industry, and in fact, governments and other institutions, simply decieded "Sorry, you have to be using a Ford vehicle to access this content."
Strip MS of its copyright in the EU. Let people copy XP Pro & Office, hacked to work without keys & registration, as much as they like, with no legal ramifications, until an alternative platform is practical.
I'll point out here, because I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere:
There's a major problem with the replacement warrantee clause of the "Product Service Plan" at BestBuy (in Canada at least, I assume it's the same in the US. Also applies to Futureshop)
If you buy the 5 year plan, and your computer breaks after 1 year, and they replace it, the other 4 years are gone. A single replacement voids the entire plan. Blaugh.
That's it, to a T. This is about the underlying philosophy of the Ultimate Question, which, despite numerous and violent assertions to the contrary from slashdoters is not "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?". The ultimate question is: Why is there stuff instead of no stuff? Why is there a universe? Why are there laws of physics, of math, of logic? Why are the fundamental axioms which describe how the universe works, which can't be broken down any further?
This ultimate question of the universe and the ID debate face the same fundamental problem: They're by definition asking a question whose answer cannot be found within itself. Science itself is that philosophy that states that conclusions must come from evidence, and that theories must be tested. It's a wonderful philosophy, with a very rich set of consequences, and a fantastic proven track record of success. Every application of it has proven that it is trustworthy and useful. This is why it's very important, from a strictly pragmatic standpoint, that the teaching of the workings of science not get muddied with non-scientific ideas.
The philosophy of science is fundamentally seperate from other philosophies like ID and religion. While there may be value in examining one in the context of the other, one cannot be called a subset of the other. Trying to call science-contrary philosophies like ID and religion, even if completely valid and true (as I as a Christian happen to believe), a part of the science curriculum, is foolhardy.
Now on the other hand, if you want to encourage discussion of religion, creationism, science, and other philosophies in a school, I have no problem with that. Just make it the introductory philosophy class, and put kids in a environment where they feel free to talk, discuss, debate, and argue opposing , contrary, controversial, or even offensive ideas. Just be prepared for a hard sell:)
No fancy drivers required under linux. X.org just sees extra buttons and axis, and your window manager can reply to other events. It's only because windows has a limited window manager configuration that you need extra "drivers", which are really just a background app that watches for standard USB button events.
Sounds like a job for micropayments. I wouldn't neccesarilly want to pay a yearly subscription fee.
But for the odd occasion I feel like I have something to say, I'd put in my 5s n't-seem-to-like-here> to have other people listen.
Especially if such a system weeded out mass spammers and trolls.
Actually, it's a disproof of a universal statement by exception to the rule. Totally valid.
It's like saying "It's impossible to make money by singining", then disproving that by saying that Madonna makes money singing.
Uh, except that technically Linus isn't allowed to make his own source control system anymore.
The bitkeeper license, last I checked, explicitly stated that users of Bitkeeper could not work on competing source control systems. Git, Linus' new project for supporting linux development, is a competitor, and therefore he's violated the license after the fact.
As far as I can tell, Larry McVoy could go after Linus on a contract violation suit now. (Not that I think he will, that would be mondo bad publicity. *maybe* if he got bought out by somebody else, or if his company goes under and gets sold to someone willing to do anything to extract their dollar's worth.)
It's in orbit currently. It would take alot of energy to actually get it to escape the earth's gravity. Much more to get it to any speed where it won't be overtaken quickly by other space probes that are *meant* to go out there.
LordBodak (561365): They seem to have the "can't re-sign it" part figured out, but the "can't sand off" seems to be a bit flawed. I was quite disappointed when I discovered it had worn off.
gehrehmee (16338): they can't just sand off your signature and re-sign it.
Most cards have a security surface of some kind. Theoretically, if somebody steals your card, they can't just sand off your signature and re-sign it.
The companies actually do go out of their way to make signature verification a pretty safe & secure process, or at least as secure as any handwriting comparison can be.
If you really want X.org in debian:

Move the paragraph from step 1 to the end of the preferences file. (not sure if this is actually neccesary)
Run:

Hope it all works well. Did I mention I don't take responsibility for any breakage this causes?:)
When all is said and done, these steps tell apt where to get ubuntu packages from, then tell it not to install any them, then tells them to make an exception for the Xorg packages, treating them just like they were regular debian packages.
You'll also have the option of installing any software in ubuntu that's not in debian yet, and all of the potential breakage that implies.
Who called it a "nail in the coffin"? I said that LucasArts needs to keep making games. Grim Fandango was *fantastic*, and if they can keep making games like it they'll be doing great.
It's not about pranks.It's not a question of what the reviewer should and shouldn't do.
It's a question of what he could do, and therefore what someone with malicious intent could do. Expecting people's actions to just natually blend into the common good is great and all, but it's simply not going to happen. There's a reason for police there's a reason for locks on doors, there's a reason for computer security, and there's a reason I don't leave my lunch out when my cat is in the room. Somebody's going to take advantage, and I'm going to get screwed.
Can't you just tell your domain hoster to add your other ISP's SMTP servers to your DK relayer record?
1) random recipient X sees email from your domain A sent via ISP B.
2) X checks A's DK entry, finds B in the 'good list', and marks the email valid.

"Gag the Internet" I had no idea Mormons were so kinky.
Indeed he does, and it's one of the shortest and for my money most amusing cameo's he's done.
I would propose "lead curtain".

Damn stop lights telling ME what to do. And those crosswalks? We should be free to walk as the crow flies!
At least the train crossing goes "Ding Ding Ding Ding" and goes up and down. Puts on a good show.

Find yourself a copy of Grim Fandango, and see exactly why LucasArts still needs to be making adventure games.
