The answer is if you can get Linux installed you don't need this and MS could give a shit about UI issues (yes I think Windows is shite from a UI perspective and yes I think Linux with Openbox+BASH is teh win you won't change my mind so don't even bohter trying) so they won't spend the minimal dollars needed to make this happen. Now I haven't touched a Mac in any serious way since 1990 do they still have this?
Something like this. http://www.mirrors.wiretapped.net/security/cryptog raphy/filesystems/rubberhose/rubberhose-README.txt although the main site seems to have gone away.
RTFA in all the emails he gives full credit to the students.
James Longstreet and Tom Indelli, two students in my Fall 2004 UNIX Security Holes course, have discovered a remotely exploitable security hole in bsb2ppm, a program to convert BSB image files to PPM image files. I'm publishing this notice, but all the discovery credits should be assigned to Longstreet and Indelli.
You don't really. Most people do something similar to what I did. The husband of a person I work for is the head of the service dept. for a small auto dealership. Basically when the wanted somebody to build and install a firewall for them she recommended me. I now get a few hours a month out of them and a few more from other places he has told about me. Basically they are willing to put up with you only being weekends/evenings in exchange for paying less than they would for a real conslutant. It's not a lot of money but it pays the cable bill and buys me the odd toy now and then. So the answer is to do some of the other kind of networking locally.
The double envelope method *is* typical. Also how is it not a secret ballot? Also HTF does a secret ballot prevent vote buying? Note that vote buying is a *very* different thing from coercion.
Close but no cigar. When they get done with X they well return it all tricked out to the Xfree86 people. X gets tricked out and the Xfree86 people get tricked. Yes it is overhaulin.
You have to keep in mind that A New Hope was tacked on later when Lucas started this whole fucked up mess it was *not* there in 1977 and I should know cause I was.
No no as a matter of fact it does not. You can in fact do anything you damn well please with your car. The rules only apply to driving it on public roads. If you had 20 acres you could do anything you want with your car and drive it anywhere you wanted to on your land. You simply could not take it onto a public road. Notice the diffrence you can do whatever you want with that piece of property. The only rules are whether or not you can use it someplace where it could affect people who have not consented to be affected by it.
Copying games and playing them without owning a copy is *already* illegal and that law should be enforced. Copying a game that I own putting it on a shelf so the kids won't destroy it and playing the copy is legal and the means to do so should not be denied me.
Same goes for your house. You are perfectly free to turn it inro an antiques shop any time you want to. You can't sell anything out of your new antigues shop because it would affect people who don't consent to be affected by it. If you could figure out a way to set up industrial manufacturing without affecting your neighbors one bit you would be more than free to do so. For example I assemble computers and network gear in my house. My some definations of the word that is industrial manufacuturing and no one gives a shit. You come up with a way to conduct heavy industry in a way that does not affect your neighbors and it would be fine. The same goes for burning things, the smoke ordinances, and nuclear bombs thos rules are there because those are things that affect others around you.
Modchiping a console does *not* in and of itself affect anyone around you and doing illegal things with a modchiped console is already illegal. The existing law should be enforced not a new law created.
"Modchips serve one purpose: to circumvent technology designed to keep your box from playing pirated or otherwise illegal software"
You are the one that wrote that. It sounds an awful lot like you think they should be banned you go on to make an analogy with cars and pollution gear. Take a stand and answer my question.
There are plenty of dual use devices out there. The fact that this one is mostly used for bad reasons does not mean that it should be outlawed. There is nothing inherent in the device that makes it bad. Of course we increasingly live in Nanny states and so the government feels the need to protect us from ourselves. Those who purchase and use a product legally should be left alone. Those who break the law with a product should be punished. The fact that they may or may not be able to get away with their crimes easily should not be a reason for keeping a piece of hardware out of the hands of those who use it in the right way. That is quite simply the price you pay for a free society. It is *not* reasonable to expect someone to buy a whole new piece of hardware.
So where do we draw the line at what to ban and what not to ban? Since you are the one wanting to ban tell me what percentage use of a given device/product has to be illegal for that device/product to be banned?
Albany, about 100 miles from the closest Powell's. But yea everytime I make it up that way I drop in, they do in fact rock. That is kind of my , somewhat modified as I have thought about it, point in the Portland metro area there would not be much need for this and you can get the stuff for less than you could print it out. And the government should not be in that business. But here in the sticks stuff like that is hard to come by. Book Bin just does not cut it most days. Here I just don't see how they would be competing because nobody is filling that niche.
While I know you agree with me I do think I need to point out one thing. I very specifically only wrote about things that are out of print and/or public domain. These tend to either not be available at any price or in many areas only available at a large cost. Wikipedia would be perfect because the content is free and free. Penny Arcade is a bad example it is still under copyright and since Gabe and Tycho make money by selling books of their strips they are going to be unlikely to give you permission to do this and without their permission it would be a bad thing. Project Gutenberg is *exactly* what I had in mind when talking about the public domain. In fact I used the example of the Mars books because I had just finished rereading one from Gutenberg and would have loved to be able to get a cheap copy of it.
Interesting. Now as we all know far too often the textbook for a course just happened to be written by the prof teaching it and I always suspected that they hated used copies for just that reason. But as you well know a big part of the reason the physics book costs $120 is because they only publish a few hundred of them and that books are one of things that as you scale up the cost per piece drops off dramatically. This could very easily make it possible for profs to get their royalty checks and because it drops the price per piece in comparison to normal publishing it could also drop the overall price of books. Of course college students always have and always will take it in the shorts on books. Nothing is really going to help them.
BTW just before posting the above example I ran a search on the book I mentioned. B&N had and it would have cost $5.99 plus $3.99 for "standard" shipping. I just mentioned the library thing as something that would not hurt. I would kill to have one of these in one of the three bookstores within driving distance of me.
Think in terms of out of print books that you can't easily get locally or the public domain. For example I live in a fairly small town in Oregon. There is not a copy of "Warlord of Mars" within 50 miles. I could order one from Barnes and Noble but shipping would double the cost of the book. So how would something like this hurt a local bookseller. It would be a great way to increase revenue for the library (one of the few branches of the government that I don't fear and hate) and would not hurt any local bookstore. Granted this may not apply in NYC where someone with a large inventory could be local. But in a place where I only have a Waldenbooks and a Borders in a less that a 50 mile radius it does not compete with any place locally and helps out a worthy cause. No it would not be for everyplace but it could be a good idea and could be a really good idea for the places that need it most.
Or I don't see why they could not stick one in the library and let them sell it to you for a few dollars. I know I'd use it. But then again I give money to "friends of the library" already. I would have no problems with this whatsoever.

Odd. Not 2 minutes ago I just finished mine.

Kind of like my Mac back in 1984 did.
The answer is if you can get Linux installed you don't need this and MS could give a shit about UI issues (yes I think Windows is shite from a UI perspective and yes I think Linux with Openbox+BASH is teh win you won't change my mind so don't even bohter trying) so they won't spend the minimal dollars needed to make this happen. Now I haven't touched a Mac in any serious way since 1990 do they still have this?
And why for the love of Loki is that?

I find a clue bat and my etherkiller to be *very* effective training tools.
I'm going to feed the troll. What is meant is for example there will be no jokes about "Mrs. Reynolds" and Inara kissing her. Or stuff like that.
Cartoon shows did this all the time when I was a kid. MS is insane.
