http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=issues-and-limitations "The Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service is currently supported only for partitions within the key scope of system encryption (for example, a system partition encrypted by TrueCrypt or a non-system partition located on a system drive encrypted by TrueCrypt). Note: For other types of volumes, the Volume Shadow Copy Service is not supported because the documentation for the necessary API is available from Microsoft only under a non-disclosure agreement (which is impossible to comply with because TrueCrypt is open source).

And the really great part is that sun virtualbox can read the vmware virtual machine created by that tool.
and vmconverter can eat a lot of diskimages format also (BUT NOT ALWAY THE VERY LATEST, check before spending time on it!!)
Before you start with any tool it is nice to clean of any unwanted software and restore points, clean the trashcan (Crapcleaner tool), and try to fill all unused space on the disk with zero's.
BTW, I learned the hard way that truecrypt is incompatibele with any on the fly diskimagers.
And child pornograpy is abused for this view. Because child pronograpy is wrong, always, even talking about is is wrong. Now even slashdot is infected because it tell you now exactly what you have to search for to find the links to links to child pornograpy.
The "throw hardware at it" does make sense for business applications. However, that model fails at system hardware and mass production. If you manage to make a mainstream OS 1% faster, with the use of 1 coder working one year, 10 Million PC will get 1% faster. If you produce 100.000 washing machines, you cannot afford to put a 10 dollar CPU in each of them , you will have to optimize to run the OS on a 1 $ CPU.
-Playing Quake ET written in javascript in a browser at playable framerates. -Those VR implementation (think google streetview 360) are finally working without plugins. -Online games. -Everything in a browser. (silly but it happens).
Forget those 1.0 websites with a little bit op powerpoint animation.
And best of all: you need a good graphics card to do your work. wink wink.
Suppose you have a password on the PC. You see, without that linux "hack" it would be impossible to to the downloading. And the timing would be off also, since the owner might be able to prove show he was not at home at the time of the downloading. Then there is always the point that you will have to make a reasonable gues who was behind the keyboard at the time of the offense.
Last point "call the police" is not anonymous as well, since the telephone company keeps log who called who (and in case of a cell phone: where).
Planting fake evidence is not as easy as it seems if you want to do it perfect. Watching CSI does not help because the reality is much more complex.
"Work" is probably that you can retrieve the info from it like you would with a mobile version of the website. And then there is the case of how they degrade websites.
OK: Try to show site, if a option is not supported ignore that or show that in a banner.
Better: degrade gracefully to (?mobile?) version.
BEST: support all technologies. (No flash -> html5 , no html 5 -> flash -> no nothing, show images or quicktime)
Problem is that too much sites only go for OK, only support 95% of userbase. I bet the sites listed TEST for safari mobile and act on that fact, not on the missing flash option.
It is an alternative to the monkey test: Take a sales person from across the ahlloway and let him click on your application. If it does not crash or give absurd error messages you can do the actual testing.
(1) The term of protection granted by this Convention shall be the life of the author and fifty years after his death..... (6) The countries of the Union may grant a term of protection in excess of those provided by the preceding paragraph.... (7) Those countries of the Union bound by the Rome Act of this Convention which grant, in their national legislation in force at the time of signature of the present Act, shorter terms of protection than those provided for in the preceding paragraphs shall have the right to maintain such terms when ratifying or acceding to the present Act.
So by international treaty they can shorten the copyright to the length it was when signing the treaty, or lengthen it arbitrary, but no country can shorten it below the length set in the treaty.
A pirate party is free to discuss this issue, but is almost impossible to make this a law, unless there was a law before the countries signed the Berne convention that limited the length. The only way to do this is a trick: leave Berne convention, set a copyright of 5 years and then join again. I bet this is not a point a minority party can establish.
Well, the wii has serious underpowered graphics. Are there more fun/original games there? Some are, but also a long line of games that is not worth it's money is published on that platform.
Same can be said for iPhone.
The real question: what will be the correct question?
Maybe the question is : how do we get the fun games to the players?
It will be much harder if you realize that the ads are not served by the content creators, but by thirth party servers (like google and yahoo).
You can fix that, but don't forget that advertisers do some real strange Stuff you really do not want to integegrate that in your reputable website.
As long as adblockers stay under a certain threshold you do not want to spend the time to block them, you need enhoug time filtering out the ads that get really annoying (popovers YOUR content, sounds, high cpu usage flash content, NSFW stuff).
facebook could fight content filters, but might loose that technological battle.
and hey, Fluff Busting Purity only got a letter, i don't see anything beyond that at this moment.
from the article "the company tried to license the invention to various table saw makers, but after evaluating the technology, many were not convinced how well it worked and felt that the cost was way too high (both for themselves, and for consumers). In fact, some appeared to fear that if they did adopt this technology and then someone still got hurt, they were asking for a big lawsuit for promoting this technology as a safety feature.
This shows you can reason both ways. The question is, is this safety feature available nowadyas, or not? If it is it is his onw question. If nobody implemented it for legal reasons then the legal system is more ill than you can think of.
Slashdot Mirror
I use an encrypted USB drive, so it is password protected when i travel.
Trying to make a diskimage when truecrypt is active i get a vss error like
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error ... 0x80070057
invalid parameter
dismouting the truecrypt device and everything went ok.
somthing like:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/shadow-copy-components-not-working-various-vss-writer-failures-no-vss-writer-errors
searching now i see it is documented:
http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=issues-and-limitations
"The Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service is currently supported only for partitions within the key scope of system encryption (for example, a system partition encrypted by TrueCrypt or a non-system partition located on a system drive encrypted by TrueCrypt).

Maybe it is solved now.

A beowulf cluster of these wepad. Would be a great borg computer.
WAIT... i exited my time machine 5 years too late.. I go back posting the obvious in 2005...
If you have a quad core processor you need a 257 bit power supply.
That extra bit is for the power switch.
And with the bad programmars you loose the creative people that are mediocrate programmers.
And child pornograpy is abused for this view. Because child pronograpy is wrong, always, even talking about is is wrong. Now even slashdot is infected because it tell you now exactly what you have to search for to find the links to links to child pornograpy.
Who checks the editors?

YOu just need a little bit of imagination.

maybe the google engineers can use the google death ray for this in the 20% time. ;)

She is not really a police officer or a nun nor a nurse.
Is this a demonstration of how far browser tech is now, or how far browser games are behind on native application?

WORST: MOVE to- PLEASE DOWNLOAD A SUPPORTED BROWSER
or
BAD: present DOWNLOAD FLASH NOW TO VIEW SITE

you can play twister on it
But if i am link pics i think you will like This comic

Not a joke outside the US timezone.
But does it have magic?
Here is a picture of the launch event. (safe for work. Really!) Surely a hacker who looks like that must be a expert in hacking USB sticks. ;)
Countries are bound by an international treaty. shorting copyright is not an option.
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works/Articles_1_to_21
article 7:
(1) The term of protection granted by this Convention shall be the life of the author and fifty years after his death. .... ....
(6) The countries of the Union may grant a term of protection in excess of those provided by the preceding paragraph
(7) Those countries of the Union bound by the Rome Act of this Convention which grant, in their national legislation in force at the time of signature of the present Act, shorter terms of protection than those provided for in the preceding paragraphs shall have the right to maintain such terms when ratifying or acceding to the present Act.

It is even very simple to sfe 20% more with a Eco font
