I know exactly what you mean, since I had that lethal combo (VIA chipset with the SB Live, and on an old T-Bird board...).
Fortunately the Audigy2 is much, much, much, much better in terms of sound quality and the stability that I can hear/see respectively (the CMRR is great), but then I'm on now an asus mobo with an intel 875P in which the problems decreased (but didn't fully go away) with the SB Live!, so I do not have a direct comparison on the VIA chip setup.
Fortunately, I scared them off with a lawyer and charges were dropped.... so I ended up with a 30 day vacation from school, and still finished my senior year with a 4.5/4.0 GPA along with getting AP credit for Calc (but I didn't get to go to Florida with the FIRST team, ah well). And yes, there was an incompetent administrator of the entire district's (Novel::shudder::) network... in which her stupidity not only let me do what I did, but further made ME look bad because the unknowing school officials believed her word.
Unfortunately for the kids in thie story, I doubt the school can be scared off at this point.
Encryption can be cracked... if your hard drive is turned into a pile of goo, I doubt they have some sort of reverse-deterministic machine to reconstruct the magnetic data.
Even Windows lets you encrypt your hard drive... but encryption can and will be cracked if someone desires it bad enough. Destroying it physically (if you do a good enough job) should be fail safe.
Firefox and AdBlock provide a service that is in high demand: the blockery of ads.
Why make the browser do it? I just filter it out on my firewall so EVERYONE at my house can't get doubleclick adds (plus others that I have become annoyed with). Even helps when using applications... say, if you use the standard AIM client.
I've been an avid BSD and Solaris user for the past 5 years, but never set foot in Linux-world (theme park anyone?) because frankly... I didn't know where to start.
This article gave me a good ground to work off of as far as what I should be looking at to start with. I wanted something that would give me configuration flexibility and a good set of packages, but I really didn't care much for graphical configurations (99.9% of my unix work is on the command prompt anyway, and I actually like the OpenBSD installer). Having it there would be nice, but I can certianly live without it. My current guess... Debian. Any other suggestions?

Technically, can't I change one line of code or some small functionality and call it a derivative? It even sounds like they didn't do much: "When installed on a hard drive, it also allows developers to develop and compile code in a pure OpenSolaris environment."
It seems just a cut-down version (text only) of Solaris, so where's the improvement?
I've been looking at senior software developer positions, but is that too high up the ladder for someone 'fresh' to cope with?
I hope you don't get a "senior" level position. Those should be only available to people who actually have experience in the real world... Doesn't matter how much you studied... there are certain aspects of engineering (software as well) that can only be taught through experience.
Advice? Sure you could try it, but I doubt you'd want that high level of responsibility fresh out of the water anyway.
Imagine using your iPod and a regular old microphone to record studio-quality audio.

But if a malicious site uses JavaScript or any form of redirection to force you to view such a website, then is it really your fault?
That is what I think these people are trying to defend against. Just because a software program on your computer loaded material on to your computer, does not mean that YOU intentionally did it. Sure you run into the "my friend did it" situation, but this is an actual legitimate defense since you can control your friend easier than you can control a malicious piece of software or website.

Peripheral vision is based more on movement, and has more black and white receptors (rods) than the center (cones... for color). Hence, any images that are not moving much in the peripheral would get lost by the brain, and many shades of yellow tend to come out as black when converted to black and white anyway (like the background).
The blind spots are interesting on their own... you can make your thumb disappear if you hold it our to your right. The blind spot in the middle of the eye is only at night, since there are barely any black and white receptors in that area (you see in black and white at night... the rods are more sensitive to light). That always freaked me out when I'd try to stare at something glowing at night, and it would disappear... kind of annoying too at times.

Those "scientists" are actually sociologists... basically people who go around and sum up the obvious. All they do is study correlations between human interactions and other events... the obvious.
My sociology professor even admitted it, and he has a PhD in the damn field.
This is horrible for sales. Mainly because giving a DVD for a gift is going to be a pain in the ass. Either you'd have to be there for them to watch it all the time, or somehow have THEM buy it... for their own gift...

I'll stick with bash or ksh, thanks very much. But thanks for trying.
Ok, but does bash or ksh run on windows? This is for their own OS, not unix.
So to answer your question... no... it doesn't remind me of that quote, because it has no relevance to it.
1st, this thing killed my 6600GT (yea, it's not the best, but c'mon... Doom3 runs better).
2nd, I didn't like the design because I had no idea where my bounds were. I'd be walking normally then just get stopped by an invisible barrier.
3rd... I can make a bagillion things float 6 feet above the ground but I can't reposition them / have them follow me around?
It's a nice idea and all, but the design just got in the way of the fun factor.

No, it's a measure of the likeliness of an event to happen based on previous experience/data.
That's how all science works, just one a different scale.
If you are a physicist, you rely on a whole heap of belief.
Sure, physical phenomena may be repeatable, but so are miracles... so say the religious.

Exactly. In the auto industry, it's all about getting the cheapest part. Building an airplane? They get the best part for the job.
Screw the cost, they're not sellin that many anyway (especially compared to 400k units of an automobile in a few years).
No, it depends on the brakes and their current condition. I've driving cars where you have to fight against it's idle... a lot.
