The Asylum's low-budget knockoff of Sherlock Holmes was, IMO, better than the big-budget movie. Though this is in part due to the terrible writing of the big-budget one. Plus the Asylum version has a giant steampunk mechanical dragon, which automatically makes it cool.
I wrote a little program that will reverse any MD5 hash produced from a printable string up to five characters in length, and do so in about 1/3 second. I could make it up to six characters easily if I were willing to set up an extra 4TB of storage for the tables. Seven or more, the storage requirements get silly. And it's not a rainbow - no 99.999% chance of success here. If the password is 1-5 characters, it will be broken.
In related news, youtube is a threat to the television industry, and people who are so insolent as to make and release their own music for free are a threat to the music industry.
The social conservatives didn't think porn would go away if they opposed.xxx. They were just afraid of 'legitimising' it -.xxx would have created a place for porn, while the social conservatives held that porn should have no place at all.
Maybe it works with seven. But not for XP. I've many hours of struggling to attest to that one, and a few times I've had to resort to installing pirate editions for friends of the family just because I had no way to use their perfectly legitimate OEM licence.
"I always wonder who these folks are that want to jailbreak for purposes other than unlocking."
Emulators. Apple strictly prohibits any app from running or emulating, or executing in any way, code that hasn't been Apple approved. A lot of people like their retro gaming. Jailbreak a mobile and you can run emulators on it. A NES or SNES in your pocket. Or a gameboy - it's smaller than the original. Aside from that... pirate apps, various wireless network utilities Apple prohibits due to their potential hacking uses, and the big one: Tethering.
But only a few ports on those chipsets. If those ports arn't needed, no problem. I don't imagine many customers are going to be cutting into the inner layers of the motherboard and soldering on new SATA connectors.
Also contrast Deus Ex, and very highly respected PC FPS, with it's far less respected sequal Invisible War. The latter was made for consoles, and it shows.
You don't get a valid key with OEM computers. See that one on the sticker attached to the computer? It's utterly useless. It's an OEM key, so no ordinary Windows installer will accept it.
In social science, theology or politics 'Natural Law' usually means either status quo, or 'whatever I want.' There is no Natural Lawbook, so people can make up whatever they want and claim to have natural law on their side. There was a time when it was frequently argued that it was natural law that blacks should submit to their white superiors, or that it would violate the natural law to allow women to go to college.
3G base stations mounted on drone aircraft, tied back to an internet link via sat or high-bandwidth, high-power radio that can go over the boarder. Politically a nightmare, but technologically quite doable.
I've had a similar idea involving giant elastic bands to launch a rocket. Not all the way, obviously - but if you can maybe give it an elastic band boost just on launch, could you cut even one percent off the fuel requirements?
This household has two large racks of DVDs. I don't think we've watched any in months. We don't actually watch that many films, and still have two large racks. So if that's what we have, any serious collector must need a good chunk of their living room given over to them.
It depends on the dubbing company. The usual expectation for them is that the dub will not be for anime fans, but instead broadcast on TV as a general cartoon for non-anime-fans. Thus they'll often try to de-Japan the program. Changing character names, removing references to locations in Japan and replacing them with locations in the US*, altering depictions of Japanese cultural practices, toning down the violence in expectation of a younger audience and more easily concerned parents**, taking out Japanese text even if that means leaving signs blank***. Dialog has been altered so that dead characters are instead merely banished, and i some cases entire characters excised.
*Tokyo Mew Mew is particually blatant about this, being renamed Hollywood Mew Mew. The Pokemon movie dub also contains a joke about most vikings being from Minnesota for the same reason.
**Naruto was most infamous for this. A program with a lot of sword fights, in which the dubbers refused to permit the appearance of swords. Other shows have gone so far as replacing guns with water pistols.
***Was it Digimon that features a class stareing at a blank blackboard as a teacher wrote with invisible chalk?
"Ability to mask multiple computers as one while they are all connected to the network at the same time." Why would you want to do that? The only reason I can imagine is trying to trick some software activation program.
If it was ten years ago, that would be true. I remember the time when many ISPs forbade the use of NAT entirely, as they believed people with more than one computer should pay more. But today, that wouldn't work, and I think all ISPs are sensible enough to know it - too many households have multible computers, plus games consoles, internet-connected TVs and so on. Those customers arn't going to stand for paying extra per device unless they have absolutly no other option, and even then they are going to complain and campaign.
We're thinking along the same lines, yes. Only I'm thinking local as in physically local - broadcasting a 'I want this bit of data frame' at intervals, and seeing if any devices in the vicinity are running the protocol and have it in storage.
Jammers are illegal, so no theater does. Some of them use EM screening, which works too - no phones work inside. But it's only good for enclosed areas (cells blocks yes, exercise yards no) and would also be quite expensive. Also, if there is just one tiny crack somewhere that a signal can get in, word will get around.

There is no need for such tricks with windows. If the autorun.ini specifies a .exe file, Windows would happily run it.
I thought pirates had better taste. I see I am disapointed.

Salting still defeats it though.

95 no, me yes, and I think 98 may have depended upon edition. The answer on 95 is easy: It predates the standardisation of bootable CDs.

Given the important of the internet in commerce, politics and society... can you really have liberty without it?

Google proved the copying accusation, by placing some dummy, nonsensical results onto their site. Bing then copied them.
A few tests here find that my squid proxy needs ipv6 support. Apparently that was added in 3.1, but I'm using 3.0.

I just get redirected to a generic ipv4 porn site. I gather that project collapsed some time ago. Looks like someone else got hold of the domain.
