Yup...to a degree. We had two cats and got a 6 week old cocker spaniel.
A little different than your situation. Even though the cats hated the dog, the dog would do it's best to try and do as the cats did, especially personal maintanence.
It was hilarious to watch the dog try to wash by licking his paw and wiping around.
Of course, nature took over and a month later the dog was trying to hump the cats, who looked less than pleased.
How can they steal service? If people wanna use the free AP, they would put that SSID in. If they want to use starbucks, same thing, different SSID.
But, lets assume the free network wasn't there. According to the above quoted line, I would be able to walk into a starbucks with my Dell w/ TrueMobile built in wireless, which will find an AP similar to how netstumbler works, and hop on their network. So by the mere fact that I have booted up my notebook, I'm stealing their service?
Hopefully they have something more in place than "uh...don't use the network unless you paid". If so, then there is no way to steal the service.
Look at the interstate. Some people want to go north, some want to go south. So, that's easy enough - we have northbound and southbound lanes. In the wireless world this is like the SSID's which identify which wireless network you are connecting to.
No problem yet.
But under those SSID's, which is logical, there is the "physical" radiowaves, which in this case are both using the same channel. So, back to the highway, it is the same as combining both the north and southbound lanes - major collisions.
One of the two needs to set their AP's to a different channel.
But the point was they come in, run all the competition out by opening 5 starbucks in an area. Once the only place to get coffee is starbucks, then they cut their overhead by having just one or two stores - with no competition or alternatives.
Unless someone decides to be brave again and open some independent store...then the process repeats.
No...it says people that download files from there and then turn around and start attacking will be blocked.
It all comes down to how smart the RIAA's find and kill stuff is. If it just goes by filenames, then this will work. If someone finds out that some song being billed as Linkin Park's latest is indeed someones static, then it won't work.
No wonder disney and six flags can't provide such good service anymore, you have all these national parks competing for business at a much lower price.
Tonight at 11: Kraft and Velveeta to sue US for government cheese cutting into their business.
I seem to remember it being good. It was a LONG time ago since I've read it - probably still packed up after moving a year or two ago with most of the rest of my books.
I'm hoping TotTL comes out on DVD before too long...would look much better than the copy I have.
There used to be a site that had the why the name was different but I can't find it now.
Well, I've been using that as a handle since, well, a long time.:)
I used to use one or two other handles, but it seemed that there were enough Dr. Who fans that the obvious ones were always taken on boards and BBS's.
Then in 1986, Trial of a Timelord came out. I really liked the Sabalom Glitz character (think I picked up the Sabalon spelling from the novelizations.) It was an obscure enough character that it wasn't used anywhere. Not like Master, K-9, or anything else - after all, he's only been in three episodes.
So, since about 1987, I've been using that for a handle. Glad someone gets it - it's kinda hard to explain to people sometimes.
They've started using an XML-compliant file format, so multiple vendors applications can read and interact with those files without any issues.
Yup...just like HTML - until things like Flash, Shockwave, Quicktime and all these other plugins get embedded into it.
Hopefully XML can remain pure and more useful than HTML has become.
And I don't even blame MS for this one - they may have added some things here and there, but even if you just follow the standards for HTML and CSS, half the crap only works on IE.
Actually, there was support for the powerglove a long time ago, back when the byte article came out, though I believe you needed the Menelli box to make it into a serial one.
So, it's not that we are slow to get to new technology, it's just that it takes 9 years to update drivers:)
I have one of those cups sitting around somewhere. My officemate ran into a CircleK (they also have the 64oz cups) and asked if I wanted anything - I said to get me a sprite.
He came out with one of these things, which I think cost like $0.89.
Best use I've found for the cup is to fill it up with Guinness and have a nice evening!
But that should be an issue for the kernel and for whatever interfaces with the video card. For the most part even audio apps can port pretty easy cause the insist on something like/dev/audio to be a standard interface.
The rest of it should not matter. Drawing a window on the screen should be a matter of telling X or whatever pie-in-the-sky replacement to make a rectangle here, color it, etc... This makes no difference if it's on a PowerPC, Sparc, x86, or 6504.
The abstraction that all these API's give us have a slight performance cost, but we don't have all the issues windows users have - machines crashing cause a sound driver killed the OS or an app writing directly to the video card.
Blame SCT, the people who make the student records system (Banner) that SP uses. While the decision to use SSN or whatever else for ID (an oracle VARCHAR2(9) field), the system forces you to use a 6 digit numeric pin.
Why?
Because they also have a voice response system (you know - press 1 for this) that you can remotly access your info, and this is why they have such a weak password.
When they added the web product after the VR product, they should have added another field for a stronger password instead of just using the same table for all third party access.
Now...on a different note, SCT's product is true open-source. Any of the database procedures, C/COBOL programs, forms, etc... all come as source and you have to build them on your system. Any school using this could modify the login to use anything (some have to use LDAP and other schemes).
The only problem that keeps most places from doing this is that when you get upgrades/patches (and there are a lot) you have to make sure it doesn't wipeout/replace your customizations. Kind of a pain, but for somethings like this it's worth it.
But here is a great way for open source to work - it's a ridiculously expensive package (and a huge one) but you have all the source and can fix things without having to wait for a vendor patch.
This has helped form a community of users who freely share info, mods, etc... and the company regularly looks at what has been done and accepts patches/fixes, etc...
Imagine that being done with other popular programs - I'd feel a lot safer using Outlook Express - how hard could it be to add a menu item saying "ignore all html and scripts"

'It is not legal to make a copy of a DVD now. Everything people are doing legally today, they'll be able to do legally tomorrow'
But we will be working our butts off to have most of the things you are doing today classified as illegal.
Of course we'll be making small changes as not to conflict with the constitution.
It is dark and you are in danger of being eaten by a grue.
I think that Opus the Penguin would like to have an argument with you on that :)
If you want to, I'm sure you can go buy some fancy compilers, debuggers, IDE's, etc... for Linux.
Or you can use vi/emacs/kdevelop/etc... for your IDE, gcc, gdb (or one ifs front ends) etc... and do it for free.
I guess it comes down to knowledge level and requirements.

It's not the only one...I think either Dinosaur or Alice in Wonderland (again - Disney) does this as well. Or was it "The Fox and the Hound?"
Anyway, one of the damn disney movies we ahve for the kids does this. Pain in the ASS.
At least it's faster than skipping the commercials they have on the VHS tapes.

ah..I hope I'm not getting 1/4lbs of artifical sweetner in my diet coke...
Then again, that amount of sugar seems low compared to how my sister makes sweet-tea.
because when you're in high school making $5.78/hr, do you really care. It's fun to hold the ice button down.
Though with the exception of Wendy's, almost all fast food places are all self-serve on the drinks.
aka - wee, not so wee, and friggin huge
if it has nothing to do with the government then it has nothing to do with the first ammendment.

I'm with you. The top part looks okay, but the section where the controls are just looks so forced and hackish.
:)
Better than me and my Dpad controller though
In an ideal world. What you are more likely to see is ISP's starting to block services to keep from being DDoS'd...probably a lot cheaper than suing.
