"It is unrealistic to assume that users will become cautious about running unknown files." p. 6, last line of second paragraph
Even the NSA thinks ordinary people won't get smart about computer security.
And why wouldn't they? Have you worked with these "ordinary people"?
I laugh everytime the computer guys send an email out warning about not open strange attachments and then I stop. That's because I know A: somebody probably already did it (hence the warning) and B: The network is about the get slow.
Well, it depends on what you mean by *major* differences.
Blu-Ray will certain hold more information than HD-DVD.
HD-DVD is like DVD in the respect to the pieces of plastic (2.6mm pieces of plastic bonded together); Blu-Ray is 1.1mm piece of plastic on top of a 1.1mm piece of plastic.
They are using the same wavelength of laser. I would expect someone to come up with a drive that reads both formats.
This pseudo little-endian mode is a feature of the G3 and G4 processors; VPC 3 or 4 took advantage of this mode (and required a G3 or G4, for obvious reasons) for a significant speed up. The earlier PPC chips didn't have this feature, either.
I believe it's in the PowerPC definition to support either endian mode (you need to reboot the system to switch).
The record companies are the ones doing the editing.
Wal-Mart won't carry the explicit CDs; the record companies may produce an edited version for Wal-Mart (that they will carry) because of the amount of sales Wal-Mart does.
One theory I saw elsewhere would be the fact that, since Apple and Dell order quite a few LCD panels, is that there may be pressure (from Apple and Dell) for the panel makers to perhaps settle (or otherwise resolve the situation quickly), since it will disrupt the supply chain (plus they're also in the lawsuit).
Checking my iPod real quick (and doing a guesstimate)...
2) is.8% 4) is about 90%
The rest is either unauthorized files or rips from my brother's CDs (which I don't consider separate from my CDs, since he's my roommate and we've shared our CDs for years)...so out of the 9.2%, probably 3% of that is from his CDs and the remaining 6.2% is unauthorized (some of it is from very rare CDs, the rest of it is being replaced by authorized copies).
Note that the 90% number is conservative (it's probably a higher percentage).
ATI doesn't make its Mac branded cards(Apple does) so I don't think they have a lot invested in making Mac compatible hardware and drivers.
What makes you say this? Hardware-wise, ATi's Mac products aren't that different than the PC products (some are identical except for what ROM is flashed on, some have larger ROM chips), so it wouldn't make sense for Apple to make the cards themselves (seeing as Apple doesn't even make the OEM GeForce cards themselves)
On the driver front, ATi does write the drivers on the Mac side; for the OEM cards, there is significant collaboration between ATi and Apple, but ATi writes the drivers.
Might be more urban legend than real. It's also something that gets attributed to Niels Bohr, and sometimes Rutherford is involved in the story (as the impartial arbitrator).
They do on some level; that's because they are really studying people (hence why it's a social science).
While we may think computers are irrational and do random things sometimes, people (even large groups of them...perhaps especially large groups of them) are worse.
There are a bunch of other MTV and VH-1 stations available on my cable system; MTV Hits, MTV Jams, VH-1 Classic, VH-1 Megahits etc. (about 7-8 different ones, I think), so there are MTV stations that are dedicated mostly to showing music videos.
Now, the regular MTV and VH-1...nary a music video to be found.
No, actually I'm with the parent; I have some...ummm...tests on probability theory I'd like to try out, involving lotteries and sporting events, or something like that.
3 oceans; this would be the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic; now, what state touches the Arctic? Maybe Alaska? It's assumed you could figure out the other two oceans and he was telling you what state hits the third ocean and what ocean that was.
Are you sure about that with Call of Duty? I'm running it from an image of the original disc I made in Alcohol 120% (ie, a virtual drive). I've always run it like this.
CoD is supposed to using SafeDisc 3 for it's copy protection.
Slight nitpick; it's not that most drives are ATAPI compliant; most burners are MMC-2 and MMC-3 compliant (basic command set for burners).
I can believe that Roxio went to Sonic without discussing things with Apple; they probably generate more money on the PC side of things (with their OEM contracts), something Apple might not be interested in (probably easier to pitch both sides of the company).
BTW, Adaptec bought the components to Easy CD Creator (Easy CD and CD Creator) as well as buying Toast (from Astarte) in the first place (El Gato is in charge of programming for Toast; founded by the guy who wrote it in the first place).

Yeah, since this is regular season game, that limit is 1 OT period; it's a sudden death OT (first score wins).
$255 plus s/h? I hope you're talking non US $, because the replacement program is $99.95 plus $6.95 shipping (for a total cost of $105.95).
which is short for "triplicate" (which is a real word, yes).
:D
People who don't know triplicate isn't a real word hasn't filled out enough forms.

The G5 is strictly big-endian, that's why only the last version of Virtual PC runs on G5.
No, it's not. The G5 and other PowerPCs are bi-endian.
What the G5 can't do (that the G3s and G4s can do) is operate in pseudo little-endian mode.
This pseudo little-endian mode is a feature of the G3 and G4 processors; VPC 3 or 4 took advantage of this mode (and required a G3 or G4, for obvious reasons) for a significant speed up. The earlier PPC chips didn't have this feature, either.

Are you sure? Among the companies that have licensed the technology from Honeywell include LG, Samsung, and NEC. Guess who's not named in the lawsuit?
Toshiba looks like they've licensed something related to LCDs from Honeywell (circa 2003), but they're named in the suit.
One theory I saw elsewhere would be the fact that, since Apple and Dell order quite a few LCD panels, is that there may be pressure (from Apple and Dell) for the panel makers to perhaps settle (or otherwise resolve the situation quickly), since it will disrupt the supply chain (plus they're also in the lawsuit).

No, because in the cultures that read right to left, the majority still write with their right hand (that doesn't change across cultures).
It's compressor/decompressor, AFAIK, because that's what it is (it compresses and/or decompresses the video).
I've never seen coder/decoder before, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.

It is a well known situation. But you missed it.
It's called a joke.
No, actually I'm with the parent; I have some...ummm...tests on probability theory I'd like to try out, involving lotteries and sporting events, or something like that.
No, because ESPN and other news websites would be getting in trouble too (they post the results before they air).
With all the spam I get in my mailbox? I might need something faster. ^_^
ummm...re-read the post.

but credits will do fine.
Which state does the Interstate highway in Hawaii connect to, then? ^_^
(I can name several "Interstate" highways in California that don't go out of the state, like the 405, 605, 210, 110, 710).
