In a civil case the fifth amendment does not apply and you do have to testify under oath about your dealings in the issue. Of course you could lie like a cheap persian rug...
I was just wondering who here has used the new udev device loader as opposed to devfs.
*Note: Udev is a user space program that manages device nodes by interfaceing with the kernels' hotplug functions. Devfs was a different implementation of this running in kernel land. By 2.6.0 devfs will be completly depreciated for udev.
A GBA is cheaper than most cell phones already, and it is much less ones that are powerful enough to emulate a GameBoy.
Would someone please explain to me why I would want a game system, phone, answering machine, mp3 player, pda, web brwoser, toaster, ftp server, IceCast streaming server, microwave, linux ssh client, alarmclock radio, dvd player, and cell phone portable, buggy monstrosity that seem to be the norm these days? When my car breaks down I want to call a wrecker, not have to close apps and load a phone dialer program and worry about a system freeze/crash.
They won't need it. I do not care what happens the the emails I send home to momo and pop, but I do care about internal memos and sensitive corporate information. If one has a company that stands to loose millions if data is leaked then this is a worthwhile upgrade. Meanwhile if mom and pop back home have windows 9x they won't care to upgrade because the bundled Works suite works just fine, and you won't be sending them a digitally signed, DRMed, encrypted, protected confidential email. If you need to send secure data home use the USPS and send a registered letter.
Considering the writer's past... Dr: "Aren't you going to say it is bigger on the inside and on the outside?" Colonel: "I believe that is bloody obvious!"
It really makes me wonder why recording studios spend millions of dollars researching these things when all it takes is one person to post this to kazaa and defeat the whole purpose of the encryption.
I guess this is why I am a CS major and not a business one.

Activation is nothing new. In 1998-1999 (I forgot exactly when) we had to install 3dStudio Max on several lab computer and had to activate it each time despite the fact the program required an additional hardware dongle. Activation is, simply, the most hellish pain in the ass that you can inflict on any consumer. I don't believe there are many severe privacy concerns, but the functional concerns (say a virus that changes a bit or two in nortons product key so it becomes deactivated) are many.
Please mod my previous message away, I hit submit by mistake, it should read...
The 40% assumption is based off a total power bill which includes things such as airconditioning , appliances, computers, and lightbulbs. Lights, however are a relativly small portion of the bill (in an average house) so that is why the number is 40% instead of 80%, they actually used real math instead of fuzzy math or Riaa math (almost the same thing except fuzzy math makes small number bigger where as riaa math just has a problem with double counting)
The 40% assumption is based off a total power bill. They use 80% less electricity which, for the sake of rounding, but there are still other things in a houshold (airconditioning is a biggie) that draw power. Anyway I am done now.
What makes this even more interesting is that the election officials are encouraging the woman...
Instead of slapping her and saying "Get me another beer" like most of my fellow Georgians are inclined to to? (or most companies are inclined to do when you ask to crack their software).
SOmeone Need to drag SCO's sorry ass into court and get the source revieled once and for all. Untless they submit it as evidence, they will never be able to prove anything. And once it is in evidence it should become part of the public records wich can be perused, or at least xeorxed by the defence attoryney.
I did go to windows update and got new video drivers for a geforce 2 mx (a rather popular videocard) which immediatly crashed my system after a fresh install. BSOD on boot, and I could not boot into windows to roll back the drivers. My point was that MS said they were stable and reccomended updates, but they weren't AND they have many instances of things like this that make problems for people trying to work and that they have alot of work to do to fix these issues before they make anything auto install by default.

If I am paying someone money to make me look good, they damn well better make me look good.
If M$ is paying a metric assload for them to look good they are going to look fscking fabulous.
Why would someone want one of these? It costs more than a cell phone or PDA separatly and has less functionality than both.
Is there any difference between X10 the advertiser and X10 the company that makes the rf receivers used by the ATI Remote Wonders?

Yeah someone's server is a puddle of goo right now.
When did a campaign of "Compassionate Conservatism" become synonomous with "slightly to the left of Darth Vader"?
For this to work you have to stop sharing files too.
Professor Bush?! Sit it is too early to stumble across those two words together.

Two things that annoy me are filling the gas tank and changing light bulbs. It's time we did alot less of both.
Do them both at the same time, sooner or later you won't have to do either ever again.

Police are at a loss to explain why the software wasn't effective, since it seemed to work fine in controlled testing, Guidara said.
If I were selling you a million dollar system it would work when I showed it off too.
Typically when push comes to shove an oral contract is worth the paper it is printed on. (This from a lawyer friend of mine).
