Many places won't accept checks unless your name and address are printed on the check. Kinda usless, I know. I write checks so infrequently that my bank has been bought out three times since my current batch was printed (BayBank -> Bank Boston -> Fleet -> (soon) Bank of America). I've also moved twice since then, but hey, if it makes them feel better...
Most corporations are already fascist. Sure the corp as an entity might be subject to the rule of a democratic country or whatever, but internally, from the point of view of an employee, you are the subject of a totalitarian, hierarchical organization.
Also communist societies don't necessarily have to be fascist - communism is an economic theory. Nazi Germany was fairly capitalistic, but that didn't make it democratic.
Actually many clients will participate in "healing". After reconstructing the file, they will reinsert any blocks that weren't found on the network in order to help keep the file available.
I have an svn setup on Linux with Apache authenticating against a Windows ActiveDirectory domain via mod_auth_ldap. Sure it requests the user/password via the basic http auth protocol, but you can swap in whatever backend authentication scheme you want as long as it has an Apache module written for it.
Also, I believe that svn supports client access certificates if you want to really lock down your repo.
In the rest of the damn world, where cell phones are a tool, and no cooler or less cool than watches or shoes,...
I hate to break it to you, but people spend a whole heck of a lot of money to look cool with watches or shoes. How else would places like Gucci, Prada, Diesel, etc. stay in business? Cell phones have become just another fashion accessory, and people will try to distinguish themselves using them.
That doesn't stop it from being annoying as hell though;-)
On the one hand,the contact areas around the screw holes isn't typically (with one or two exceptions) connected to anything on the board, much less the board ground. That tells me that it's not that important.
I believe motherboard PCBs tend to have many layers, so the traces you see on the surface aren't the only ones connecting the components. It's possible that the surface solder is splashed over a whole mess of pads that terminate around the hole.
Or the penguin could bust through a brick wall into an auditorium full of kids 1984 Kool-Aid style. The penguin holds up a server and shouts "Oh Yeah!"
If cable TV programming allowed you to just pay for what you want to watch, people could vote with their feet and it would be harder to screw them. But when it's an all-or-nothing service, you take what they give you.
Isn't that what "video on demmand" or whatever they call it in your area is supposed to do? Right now the selection is still kinda crappy, but even so, I find myself flipping to Comcast's on demand instead of wading through 300 channels of nothing.
Civil disobediance means you break an unjust law in full view of the authorities, and potentially go to jail for it. The rest of society sees your plight, and hopefully becomes sympathetic to your cause. I don't really see this happenning with music downloading. Nobody is sitting outside the Whitehouse with a wireless laptop, downloading music, and getting arrested in front of the press.
It's one thing to get the crap kicked out of you by the police for sitting at the wrong end of the lunch counter, it's another to get slapped with a tort for violating copyright. The first paints a sympathetic picture in the press, the second does not.
I don't like the current system of music cartels anymore than anyone else here does, but I don't think blithely ignoring the laws is going to do much good, especially in parts of the world with a strong copyright regime. I think change really has to come from the ground up, because I don't see the RIAA getting hit with any serious ani-trust penalties anytime soon.
And I think things are changing a bit. I think indy labels are stronger and more popular than they were 10 years ago, thanks partly to online purchasing and freely downloadable MP3s. Maybe it means artists won't make huge bucks from their music, but very few do with the big labels anyway.
Not wanting to work in fishbowl does not indicate a lack of social skills. I have no problems talking with my coworkers, aranging conferene calls to solve problems, etc. I consider many of my coworkers at least aquaintences if not friends.
But at the same time I need some privacy to get some actual work done without hearing 10 other people chatter about what they're doing. Plus it's just a question of basic human dignity to not always be under obvservation/monitoring.
Yeah! We could put a semi colon and the file's version number after it's name and have each modification automaticly create a new version. Then we could have the file's unadorned name refer to the most recent version!
You can script IIS via its WMI interface using Windows Scripting Host. I used to have to write scripts for our site to install new customers before we switched Apache:-)
gtkpod or ephPod will sync your iPod without having to use the horrible MusicMatch software.
The iPod works fine with Linux. Looks just like an external USB or Firewire drive. The only time I've connected my iPod to a Windows machine was to format it - I wasn't brave enough to manually back the firmware up and repartion it for FAT32.

I would call him socially conservative and fiscally liberal. Although not fiscally liberal in a very socially progressive sense.
It's all relative though. There aren't any real liberals in either party.

I don't know if the same holds true for digital, but with film I believe you get better contrast with B&W.
In the sense that the workers control the means of production?

They are one of my favorite bands... I've been into them for about 10 years. Totally awesome to meet another Clutch fan!

Supposedly there is a Chinese fork of the Freenet network based on the 0.3 codebase. I don't really know anything else about it though.
No, that was only about 70 million or so.

My MB does. Many Gibgabyte boards have a dual bios feature. And yes, it does have a restore factory defaults option.
