The only thing missing is Cartoon Quake, where it would be rendered to look like a 2D cartoon, a bit like the latest Zelda for the GameCube.
Technology is not the problem

Blaming Encryption
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
If this article at the BBC is anything to by then the terrorists never even used encryption simply because it ran the possibility of sticking out like a sore thumb. Once again the only people who are likely to suffer from encryption back doors et al. is Joe public when the crackers find them.
Why use technology when nobody is looking at the plain and simple stuff? Looks like KISS works to the advantage of terrorists as well.
The other day I received an e-mail from a relation of mine which was the SirCam virus in all it glory. Luckily for me I don't use or Windows or Outlook for my e-mail. I told them that they had a virus and that they should try sorting it out. They told me they ran their anti-virus and nothing was detected, so they let me know I was wrong (got to love relations;). It was only when someone else told them the same thing they came back to me telling me dispite getting the latest anti-virus update nothing could be detected.
Not being in the same country I decided to find some help documents and e-mailed them the references. It was only after they told me they were still stuck that I realised that most of the documents were oriented towards techies and not towards your average Joe, who considers programming the video a nightmare. In the end I told them to either find someone they knew who was good with computers locally or ask their computer shop if they could resolve the problem.
So here is the problem, what is your average Joe meant to do when all the help is targeted at people who aren't technophobic? Unless this can be addressed infected computers are going to stay infected long after the fix is available.
Forgot to mention that my relations are using a 56K connection, in Europe where being connected costs money by the minute, so when your average OS patch is starting to exceed the 20Mb size, it is likely to make some people wonder whether the update is worth the effort.
If you don't find any answers to your quest then you could always buy 10 dual-processor machines, configure one and then copy its HD image to the other 9 ( I have never tried this ).
How do you know it's for nothing? All you hear about are the successful bombs, the successful IRA strikes, the successful terrorist plots to blow up the World Trade Center.
It isn't necesserily for nothing, but thier use should be limited to where is matters. For example I don't mind security at an airport, as this is a point of focus for anyone wanting to commit intetnational terrorism, but outside of the airport zone it does not make sense.
On a side note, would you prefer the presence of a friendly cop on the street ( as opposed to the extreme unfriendly cop ) or that of an ominous camera?
Is there such a thing as load balancing router for choosing which server to connect to? That way you could have an array of proxies receiving load as the router decides.
I found that updating the firmware helped the problems I had. Since I am not using Windows I found a link that told me how to update the router from Linux. Basically you first have to disable the admin password on the router ( because tftp does not support passwords ) and then use tftp to send the updated firmware to the router. This approach works for any platform with access to a tftp client - shame they don't put this info on the Linksys website.
What if the tiger in this case is another country and it is the US that has been poking the tiger with its stick of foreign policies? Sorry, just being devil's advocate.
Now which party agreed to peace, even when it was signed? I don't think this a good example as both parties were willing to step on the other's feet in spite of the agreement they signed. Stepping on other people's feet is one way of making them want to throw away any peace agreement signed.
Actually, rolling over can help. By not retaliating you don't give the other party a reason to retaliate. Just look at what is happening the middle east. Who took the first tooth and who is going to take the last? Sometimes it take more might to do nothing that pulling out all the stops. The last thing we need is World War 3.
Maybe its time we had another election? Before this guy [George Double-yah Bush] came in I am sure our country had a few more friends - then again it could be me smoking some good pot, uh weed, um cigarette (still legal?).
Almost. With the original DIVX you had to buy the media first before you could rent it!? Here you just rent it and then download it and it will be available for the period of your rent.
It looks like George Orwell's Animal Farm is being used as the guide book by congress - some smart alex renamed it to 'How to scr€w you country men in 3 easy steps'. Heck, maybe the film (1984) should have been labelled 2048, because at this rate it looks all too likely.
If it is really important to the guy, then ask him to put in his own info;) BTW If you phone radio-shack you can get yourself taken off their mailing-list.
And Xerox clearly had something at Palo Alto, even if it took other companies to turn their research into sellable products. If I remember Apple brought the Mac out in 1985 and it was based on technology from Xerox. IBM also probably had something before that date. This all goes to prove that MS is trying to get media attention again - suprise suprise;)
I recently bought myself the Motorola Timeport 250 (Euro model), 3 band phone, only to find that the I-R capability was lousy. Not only is there no way to use the I-R port to beam numbers off, I have never been able to get it to successfully sync with my Handspring Visor or portable computer. A friend of mine has a Nokia phone and this will quite happily transfer phone numbers both ways between it and my Handspring Visor ( didn't try with my portable ). Given this I feel that Motorola still needs to work on its I-R capability.
Given this I am not going to dump my phone, because it still serves its purpose and I can put up with copying numbers by hand, at least for the moment. BTW the European GSM phones tend to look better than those that we get over in N. America and they also tend to be smaller.
Robot is originally from the Czech word 'robota' meaning compulsory labor, ie slave. So in this sense they are robots - in this case they are modern gladiators, and gladiators if I remember rightly were slaves for the most part.
The online Merriam-Webster is a good place to check your word definitions.
The only catch will be that most motherboard manufacturers will be making 800Mbps standard and forcing you to buy 3.6Gbps cards separatly if you really need that speed.
BTW isn't the 3.6Gbps rate only available via optical connections?

Out of curosity who is DK?

Not a bad idea. Heck, since technology appears to be the real problem, why don't we simply outlaw technology and go back to the stone age ;)
Maybe they could replace the cutting head with a focusable laser to be able to cut aluminium?
Buying the guy out would probably also save on legal costs.

Or check the company's complete web site for ideas - their solutions are too expensive for an individual.
If it is really important to the guy, then ask him to put in his own info ;) BTW If you phone radio-shack you can get yourself taken off their mailing-list.
So how the heck do you beam numbers from the phone, I can't find any options for this.
