No, then they'll know something's amiss. You want to make it utterly convincing that it's a different OS so they won't bother trying to figure out what OS it really is.
If you miss something small that can ID your OS, some who's determined might find it, but why would they bother if they think they already know?
I think HSC Electronic Supply is fairly well known around here, they mostly sell electronic components, but they have a lot of other stuff too.
I always check there first when I need a new computer power supply or keyboard, or if I want a card that doesn't need to be the newest. I dunno if it'd be worth it if I had to go through mail-order tho.
So, I would suggest the following: 1) nano-machines are placed into your brain, where they spread out and cradle every neuron. 2) as neurons die (old age, etc) the nano-machine become active, and emulate the neurons that they're cradling. These would be the Type I nano-machines. 3) eventually, you have a completely robotic brain, devoid of biological tissue, but the structure of the brain still encodes it's function
Stop! You're done. 'you' are now inside a computer: your new brain.
Why not skip the middle man and run our cars on natural gas?
Natural gas is still not a sustainable energy source. Of course, technically neither is hydrogen.
The key is eliminitating the middle man on the other side. It's a lot easier to make more hydrogen from solar power than to make more natural gas. Ultimately, the sun is our only long-term energy souce, everything else is just a storage medium.
Not quite. The spanish were primarily interested in taking gold from America.
Sure, they were blessed by the Pope so long as they tried to convert the heathen they found there (and gave Rome a cut of the spoils), but they didn't make more than a symbolic gesture for that. They told the natives, in a foreign language, that they had to convert or they would be tortured. Then, they tortured them and took their stuff.
They worked the natives to death to get gold which wasn't there, then they worked the survivors to death growing sugar cane so they could sell rum to europe.
Religion was a minor factor in South America in the 16th and 17th centuries, it was all about money. Religion was a rationalization at best.
This means, that as some point, the angular momentum will change BACK!! Hence, CONSERVATION of momentum.
Er... doesn't "conservation of momentum" mean that the momentum of a system cannot change? So if it does apply, this momentum must be someplace else in the system. Where?
You cannot run another copy of Explorer.exe with it
There's a registry key for that. I don't know exactly where it is because I removed it, but I can definitely use "runas/user:Administrator explorer.exe"
There might be a system running a hundred processes, but a typical windows system runs more like 8.
I currently have 6 programs running, I think that's pretty typical.
How many processes? 35.
Most running programs are less than 50% library code.
Hm, I'll read that as "running processes", since that's what's important.
Let's take one at random: winampa.exe (winamp's "agent", the little toolbar dealie) Total image is ~8MB This includes: - ntdll.dll: 492kB - kernel32.dll: 724kB - user32.dll: 400kB - gdi32.dll: 240kB - advapi32.dll: 368kB - rpcrt4.dll: 448kB - shell32.dll: 2300kB - shlwapi.dll: 400kB - msvcrt.dll: 280kB - comctl32.dll: 552kB - imm32.dll: 104kB - shw95dll.dll: 124kB - wow32.dll: 256kB - ntvdm.exe: 644kB - comdlg32.dll: 248kB - version.dll: 28kB - lz32.dll: 24kB - winampa.exe: 36kB
I don't know about rpcrt4 or some of these, but shell32.dll alone is a huge fraction of its total size. Well over 50% of the memory use of this process is shared.
Trivial apps aren't, but how many trival apps do you run at the same time?
Is this a trivial process? That's about 7MB of shared code. If this is a typical amount (I believe it is), apps have to use >14MB to be less than 50% shared code.
Wouldn't a 'pre-deleted' file be one that isn't deleted?
yet. The idea is that 'pre-deleted' is where it goes prior to being deleted, ala the trash can.
Either that, or it's something that's been deleted for you already so you don't have to bother. I've seen a lot of things that would be nicer if they had come pre-deleted.

Aren't those two statements slightly contradictory?
That depends what sort of config files you're talking about.
Your compact examples will tend to fill out horizontal space when more data is added, eventually forcing items to split across lines or forcing horizontal scrolling, and making it easy for the eye to skip up/down lines accidentally reading things from the wrong place.
The more typical method causes the file to expand vertically until you no longer know what you're talking about because the beginning of the current block is 5 screens up, hidden amongst the forest of XML tags.
If the XML file is well designed (balanced so that neither of these prevail), and short enough to fit in one or two pages with appropiate amounts of whitespace, then I guess I don't see a big problem.
Slashdot Mirror
This is bad XML design.
This would be better:
<date year=2003 month=3 day=18/>
I used to think XML was just horribly bloaty and ugly, now I think it's more like VB in that it's easy to make something that's very poorly designed.
No, then they'll know something's amiss. You want to make it utterly convincing that it's a different OS so they won't bother trying to figure out what OS it really is.
If you miss something small that can ID your OS, some who's determined might find it, but why would they bother if they think they already know?
because you can BUY a CD, boot off it, and have it automatically probe your system.
The only thing you have to do manually is partition the hard drive.
Other than that the install is a piece of cake.
PE is based on COFF and has a file header that specifies the machine the file runs on. I would assume that this means that only one machine per file.
Like I said...
:)
Ask and it shall be given to you

Flash is a good replacement for Java on a web page, not a good replacement for HTML.

In mozilla, copy this url into the location bar and press enter. (you can't just click on it)
Make sure to uncheck "hide the tab bar when only one tab is open" so that you can open subtabs.
Oh, you weren't serious? er...
Throughput is excellent
:)
Ah, ok. thanks.
You allow the user's registered MAC on both ports in their room, and all 'public' ports
So how do you stop spoofing of MAC address on wireless? Is it feasable to have a huge list of every valid MAC address to allow for wireless?
Most recently-made switches can be set to only allow a single MAC address per port.
OP: What will this do to the thousands of students that use 802.11b at the library and other campus buildings?
Can you restrict ports thusly on a wireless connection? How do you only allow a single MAC address per port?
(maybe this really is possible, I don't know, but I can't imagine how)
do the minis come RW?
They do. I've got a few 8cm CD-RWs by Memorex, I think they're primarily made for those digital cameras that write to mini CDs.
But there's gotta be some write limit on CD-RW too, right?
350Mb(yes, megabits!) x 24bpp = 8.4Gb (Gigabits) = 1.05GB (Gigabytes)
No, megapixels.
Think of it this way:
bpp = bits/pixel
pixels * bits/pixel = bits
bits * bits/pixel = bits^2/pixel

"Raging Cow"?
That's sounds suspiciously familiar...
The embedded webservers which really impress me are the ones that have a modem or RJ45 connection and can exist as network nodes in their own right;
So has anyone ever done a web server in an rj45 connector? Now that would be cool.
one can't be a dumbass and have a pretty good list of accomplishments that you will never obtain.
;)
I'd think a dumbass most likely *does* have a good list of accomplishments that they'll never obtain.
If an analog signal deteriorates so badly, can you imagine what would happen to the integrity of a digital bitstream?
Digital is more robust than analog.
You need a 50% change in the analog sample value for a simple digital signal to be unrecoverable. (and that's without any error recovery data)
