I don't know about holding hands, but you need to learn how to communicate better.
And it would seem you need to stop jerking the chain of people that are trying to help others out,as far as my communication goes, yes, I suppose I needed to spell out all the possible options for you that,again, were in the link provided, just in case you are too lax to click it. Agreed!
Now before you rebut saying that example refers to a dual boot machine, you're still running a XP exe on a 2K, and if the EULA forbids that then their "tech tip" is illegal
a 2 second search will reveal that win2000 excluded msconfig, but you can take msconfig from any other windows and drop it on you Win2000 Box and it will work. Wipe your eyes and blow your noses...sheeesh
Along with Dr. Dill, endorsers of the resolution include professors from Yale, M.I.T., Princeton, the University of California at Berkeley, Bryn Mawr and Johns Hopkins, as well as industry experts from Apple, Sun Microsystems, Cisco and Unisys. Dr. Mercuri has written substantially on electronic voting and is one of the group's most outspoken members. She worries that no electronic voting system has been certified to even the lowest level of federal government or international computer security standards, nor has any been required to comply with such.

"When you're dealing with computer scientists, they deal in a world of theoretics, and under that scenario anything is possible," Ms. Bonsall said. "If you probe a little further, the chance of these failures, the risk of that happening wide-scale in a national election is almost nil."
Paul Terwilliger, director of product development at Sequoia Voting Systems, one of the largest manufacturers of electronic systems, said that while no one disputes the need for safeguards, complaints about machines like his company's were uninformed. "I think the concerns being raised are 100 percent valid," Mr. Terwilliger said. "However, they're being raised by people who have little idea about what actually goes on."
I think I'm going with the doubters on this one, not with the people selling it. I also like the quote(s) that question the fact of "how can we verify there's been no tampering? And "if its so secure why can't we look in it?"
And in regard to Ms. Bosnall's quote, we're not so much worried about wide-scale national failure as we are with tampering.....big difference.
America gets scarier by the day.
(To me) it appears that they're parodying themselves, in regards to the amount of merchandising going on.. almost like the Watchkowski brothers taking a shot at the studio..
Huh? The Watchkowski brothers wrote and directed that commercial, to make a joke, on Heineken's dime? I thought it was funny too, but in a "WTF, that was stupid" kinda way....ah well
I have no problem whatsoever with a film's producers getting some extra cash while simultaneoulsy adding to (or at least not detracting from) their film's realism.
My big issue in this area has to do with the deal that MGM made in the 90's that switched Bond's vodka to Smirnoff. James Bond would *not* drink Smirnoff, dammit! Glad to see he's moved on to Finlandia with the most recent film. A new generation of Bond fans can sleep soundly again...
I hear ya on the Bond vodka issue:)
I guess it's more the baggage that product sponsorship carries with it; ie. the Heineken commercials are trying to make you think "yeah, we're ALL about the Matrix! Heineken = Matrix style!" which is BS, what the hell does Heineken have to do with the Matrix, at all? Now if there was a Strange Brew sequel, and they were running Molson commercials, thats a little more palatable.
What, you mean in a way that the videogames, comic books, cartoons, action figures and Carrie-Ann Moss dipped in latex do not?
It depends, do you think you'll see the comic books, action figures, videogames and cartoons in the actual movie? In previous experience with Heineken sponsored films, odds are pretty good you will see Heineken in the film.....and as far as Moss in latex, whats the problem there?:p
On behalf of the iLoo Anticipation Society, we all(5 members) would like to thank you personally for showing us the light and clarifying that the iLoo is a hoax. We can now abandon our fruitless hopes and dreams of an iLoo future and try to continue on, strengthened by Slashdot's resolve to get "the truth out there, at any cost!"
We're heartbroken, and a touch embarassed by having the proverbial wool pulled over our eyes, but we don't want to live a lie either.
You may have put more thought into this bill, just now, than the legislators who put it into effect have in total. This will be messy, and in the near future when our federal income tax rates will be raised to try to help against the largest deficit in US history, things like the scenarios you provided will be all the more...erm...."amusing", taxed at every turn
Hahaha! Point taken.....but you don't think it would be interesting for them to try and play outside of their sandbox...ontop of a *Nix OS? How quickly would they sink, or would they swim? No Win API's etc.etc. outside of their element, so to speak
Or, they can keep making all the friggin money they are making now
You have a good "hypothetical" idea, MS making an X-window system, I think that would be interesting. But they are NOT going to give up their $$$ via their licensing techniques, and they can't charge that much for a GUI front end.
Sad, but true, it seems to have been a case of "..we don't fully understand what this MEANS but all of our large lobbies tell is its the right thing to do,so......"
Shouldn't the attorney have just called this poor landscaper up and asked him to stop making calls first?
Yes, a rational person would probably try that, but as a lawyer, hell, he didn't even have to chase an ambulance for this job, it came to him!!
You can't give a lawyer a potential, direct, personal lawsuit and expect them to "turn the other cheek" LOL
Telemarketers are a pain in the ass.....I've been playing modem handshakes at the automated calls recently, in hope that it'll think its a data/fax line. And with automated calls....anyone else notice that it seems you have to say "Hello?" twice before it starts? When I answer I say Hello once clearly, then if "dead-air" for more than 2-3 seconds *click* hang it up, if its a friend of ours, they'll call back....and I've yet to have an accidental hangup yet.
hehe, when I looked at the screenshots I too had a flashback of Borland Turbo C++ for DOS (which incidentally, I still have in the attic)
It's interesting and I like that you can use the multi console while in this windowing system..but I don't know, are people really that hard pressed for affordable CPU/Graphics horsepower? I could see this being used on server maybe, but not workstation..
java has this "feature" where you can very easily reverse engineer you.class files to get the.java files (from pseudy binary back to source). as a result, there have sprung up code obfucsation tools where if i'm a library provider
.NET also has this problem, if you use their devtools theres a ildasm provided by Microsoft when used with some other apps, pretty much get you the original source! Kinda scary if you're a commercial developer...you'd have to buy any of the growing array of.NET obfuscators, some of which are NOT cheap by any means

If you knew the answer, that we can't reveal to you, then you wouldn't be so worried, now would you?! :D
I like how they speak in loops, and try to validate their point by providing no extra info

At least in this one, he says it was posted before
crikey!

Blatent Product Placement
Oh, by perfect film, does he mean in the perspective of the film-goer vs. the film financiers? oops
Anyone else feel that the Matrix Reloaded Heineken commercial just makes the Matrix franchise appear "cheap"?

Yeah, after they check out Apple's latest OSX version "Panther" in July :)
They only need a few months to emulate what they see there, right?!
I'm a severe cynic as far as the election process goes, but if you don't even vote thats even more useless.
Good post and parent post BTW
Sad, but true, it seems to have been a case of "..we don't fully understand what this MEANS but all of our large lobbies tell is its the right thing to do ,so......"
Is the US just getting sadder by the month?
Congratulations, you've just isolated the RMS genome. Or should I say, the RMS GNU/genome? LMAO, thanks, you just made my night end with a laugh!

I remembered reading that the other day, but it totally slipped my mind when I'd posted original, and I'm still on Dev Studio 2002
Now get outside or away from the computer! :D
This lawsuit aside, the world clique album (whaaa....whats an album?) is a great listen....
