Cool Case

· Score: 1
And since I'm on the subject, I'm actually looking to build a case like the suit case one. I decided to use an alluminum brief case. But I can't find any alluminum brief cases large enough (biggest one was a bit smaller, but just as wide and long as a mini tower). So any ideeas would be welcome.
Check your local music store. Most of them have larger aluminum cases that would be probably be perfect for what you're describing, and usually the prices aren't that bad. Another thing to check into, also, is getting an ammo can or two from a military surplus place; some of those cans are damn big.
Hrmm. That gets me wondering if something's screwy on the system I'm using or if it handles local files differently, 'cuz when I fed a gzipped web page to it locally, it gave the "what the hell am I supposed to do with this" dialogue.
I looked at the screenshots, and I could barely make out anything at all. Now, this could just be me, but I'd probably want to demo my newest video card with something a bit brighter than those doom shots. However, I must say, the pics seem to have a good amount of detail in them for being computer generated.
If you use nutscrape you can GZip those ebooks anyway. It's smart enough to know how to handle compressed files. Internet Exploiter, and Mozilla, OTOP, can't handle them, so use this advice with caution.
It's been a while since I studied all of the evolutionary paths, when the genetic code forked and whatnot, but I have a decent amount of certainty that hyenas are more closely related to felines than canines (I'll give you that much). However, they are one of those species genetically between those two families of predators; cats and dogs split on the evolutionary path several million years ago, but they do share common ancestors.
Just right click on links and choose open link in new window. This is especially useful for sites like/. where there is discussion about a topic, and it is useful to go back and forth. It's especially useful if a site falls prey to the slashdot effect, you can reload every few minutes while reading what those who have been fortunate enough to access the site before it became bogged.
Whaddya expect, it's school. They don't want to hear the other side of the story, it may disrupt their poor excuse for self-esteem. Independant thought runs counter to this, it involves thinking, and for some people, that's just too hard. I remember in school, I used to enjoy taking the POV counter to what the "norm" was, simply to cause an enlightened exchange in the subject, instead of simply the old rhetoric spewed without critical thought.
And the government indoctrination is probably part of it too. Why is it that over here in the US there are rarely any dialogues on the failure that is the "war on drugs" in public schools? Probably because they're afraid that people might learn the other side of the story.
But what happens when the hard drive, or the motherboard, or any other component goes out? Does he go looking for the older OS disks, and hope they still work on the replacement components; x86 compatiblity may be non-existent 5 years from now when the components give up the ghost. He has a very valid point, not every computer wants, or needs internet access 24/7, especially not for simple things like word processing.
I saw the movie too on the day it came out, and there were at least a dozen families with little kids in the theater. Some people don't know the meaning of babysitter, I guess.
I believe that anyone would be entitled to make copies of specific animated shorts that have become public domain. However, this point is moot, because Disney has purchased enough congresspeople that whenever the copyright is about to expire, the laws are magically changed to allow for another 20 year extention.
Bullshit. So, if I take you at your word, then the great works of Shakespere, Mozart, Beethoven stifle the creation of new art because, after all, people can listen to their works instead of $NEW_POP_GROUP. True artists will continue to create.
What this will do, instead, is it will cause some of these people to create more, instead of living off their royalty checks. People will have to create some stuff that's damn good if they expect to be paid for it.
This seems like a great piece of stego, however, this is one proggie that having the source code would help a lot. Not only are there probably more than a few interesting hacks to learn from, it'll help the usefullness of the program. Not only would I not want to have to go to their site every time I wanted to encrypt something with this interesting, plus it would add a bit to the ability to conceal messages as one could use a different substitution method.
No, these are more or less instructions for turning your computer into an expensive video editing studio. It's of obviously limited usage to the average person who'd use these directions to create a TiVo like device, but for doing semi-professional video editing, this would be a godsend.
I place this site as having about the same amount of realism as the movie "Hannibal". Yes the images are disturbing however, it's obvious to anyone with an IQ of over, say, room temperature, that the images are fake. As I and many others have said before, if these were real images we'd be joining you in being up at arms, however, these are fake images which can serve perspective as to where we're going and where we've been.
I think you're missing the point here. I, like most of the people here find it on the offensive side, and if in the right mood, would fire off an email stating just that opinion. However, in the case of this website, we're talking about a federal investigation into a site that is obviously doctored photographs which anyone with a copy of Photoshop/Gimp/etc. could throw together in a short period of time. I've found images that are much closer to being illegal on rotten.com than the site in question.
I remember a conversation I had with someone with connections w/the cruise industry; as this is a foaf type story, take with a grain of salt. Anyway, the best time to play the slots on a cruise ship is right after the ship gets into international waters. That's the time they turn the machines on, and the first few minutes they're on, it's pretty easy money.
Not quite a monopoly. Now, if McMahon's league were the only professional football league, then it would be a monopoly. Though, I guess you would have a strong case in saying that the XFL was a monopoly in Los Angeles (how many years has LA been undefeated in football now?)
Guns and rockets both need incredibly volitile fuels to function correctly; a bomb drop over a large amount of bullets would cause more fireworks than the fourth of July, plus cause a fair amount of damage to surrounding people/buildings. Rail guns, OTOH, don't have this drawback, so storage of the ammo is a lot easier. And remember, the early guns weren't very reliable/accurate either, it took time to get them as accurate as they are today.
I know you're joking, but O/Cing in space is HARDER than down on good ol' Terra. I was watching a feature on the Apollo 13 near tragedy and one of the problems they had was the cooling system for the computer had to be turned off due to power constraints and there was a concern over the processor overheating even though they were in the coldness of space. IIRC the reasoning was that the heat generated by even the wiring couldn't be drawn away by convection like here on earth, and it would start to build up and get to the point where it would cause damage.
I've had 2-3 computers at hand before, doing troubleshooting, playing with networks, etc, and I'd accidentally type on the wrong keyboard, causing the exact problem you just described. And I'd assume that you could do a similar thing with a virtual box such as this one, have a non-changeable color scheme set up so that they could see at a glance which system they were currently using; using a tan scheme for certain activities, a white scheme for others, for example.
It's actually pretty easy to virtualize the peripherals, probably even easier than virtualizing the bios. It's running under linux, so all you have to do is set up each job as a different user, and place them in groups so that they can access only their specific hardware, thus Joe Datagrabber's boss can have/dev/ttyS0 set up to only allow access from the virtual windows box. Standard stuff here, and any job trying to access a part they're not supposed to will get an access denied message.
In theory, yes this would be a single point of failure thing, but if you have a host system with a high level of security, such as the NSA's internally modified Linux system, this is a non-issue. You can also encrypt those host files, making it much harder to get at the info in there. The main goal of this seems to be to cut down on points of entry, because as the article says, some people have 5-6 systems on their desk in order to access items which have different classifications. With that many systems, monitoring network traffic for improper activities and troubleshooting seem to be a lot more dificult.

Great dinner theater.
What else do you need to know?

Why that time, you may ask. 'Cuz a talking snow leopard told me so.

One sniggling detail-Mozilla/NS6 use their own widget set, not GTK+, though most of the rest of your analysis is correct.
