If you attempt to wipe the machines where I work, you shoot yourself in the foot.
At that point, if you want to install any work related software, you need to be a member of the domain/active directory. If not, you don't get connected, either while in the office or via VPN.
Of which, you can't install the necessary VPN software unless you are in the office, or we ship you a cd.
We haven't had anyone try to get around this yet. I think it's safe to say the people who work on them in my business realize they'd be down a lot harder if they tried to....
At my $place_of_employment, we use the Fluke Optiview console. What it does is it polls every port and every device on every port. Then you can either dig down a list of hosts, printers, servers, etc - or you can have it print out a network diagram (using MS Visio) or give you a switch port printout, which lists what is on each switch - down to the IP, computer name, MAC address, you name it.
It only works with Layer 2, though - so you need remote endpoints on each of your routable... endpoints.
Don't ask me how much we paid - I'm sure it was expensive. However, it definitely took us less time than rolling our own. But, if your switch is managed, for documentation's sake - you can probably use the switch to find all this information out yourself!
I've tried quite a few Senns, and had a chance to demo the entymonics. Therein lies my true rule:
There is no replacement for displacement.
Ultimately, that means that when I'm in my "zone" at work, I wear fairly large headphones - Senn HD457's at the moment. I have a pair of HD202's at home that I like listening to a little more, but they close out a decent amount of noise and make my ears sweat.
I have a pair of the earbud M-500(I think that's the model #) - but earbuds hurt my ears (even without the padding) and again, no bass.
I also have the pcx-200 (I think they're the 200's... the ones that are noise cancelling without the noise cancelling unit) - and from a bass perspective, they're SLIGHTLY better than earbuds. I even tore them apart - they have a decent sized driver, but the driver just doesn't move. It's too stiff to move a decent amount of air.
So, I'd say look in the Senns or even Grados. If you're looking for Bass, you're going to have to get a larger set of cans, though.
By law, the car commits electronic suicide the moment the airbags deploy and can't be driven, period, until a few thousand dollars worth of repair work has been done.
By which law?
I know that in my Ford (1999) if the airbags go off, the reset for the fuel pump may automatically shut off, but all I'd have to do is pop the trunk and hit the big red button....
One of the myths I've heard about the cow crushers on police cruisers is to not trip the airbags and render the cop car useless in case of a collision.. but again, it'd probably just be that pesky fuel pump reset....
The whole point of this article is that China could start blocking this as well. Just because they're talking about Skype doesn't mean they won't make inroads to any other popular VOIP provider/protocol.
I'm wondering - if they're wanting to be restrictive, why don't they deny all but http access out of the country? Seems like they're gonna get to this point....
So you bought a notably badly designed piece of hardware, and you're not ever going to buy NVidia again because of that?
That's the way the free market goes, I guess. I've just known never to rely on onboard sound, since I've never heard one that can touch a decent PCI card - and yes, there are just as crappy PCI solutions as well... Bought a Maddog 5.1 card for FAR and it's crappier than my onboard sound on my A7N8X....
I've found a few things in my years of listening to audio. Your $6 set of speakers would pale in comparison to the sound of my Klipsch Promedia 2.1s. Even without the sub.
Yes, the Klipsch I bought were expensive. If I recall, I paid about 150$ at Comp-Usa for them. A lot of my friends thought I paid too much.
Then they heard them.
They are probably some of the best all-in-one computer sets you can buy. And I did a lot of research. The only other pair I considered were some Soricco (sp?) speakers, but they weren't local, and they were also 2x as expensive.
My main point is, if you want good sound, like with anything else, you will end up paying for it.
But, once you pay for it, it will last, and you will enjoy the sound for a long long time!
Just because we're at a certain point in civilization, we expect others to be right here with us?
Granted, I don't like the fact that the 16 year old died - I don't feel it's right. However, it's not up to me to determine their progress through history, is it?
The rural areas have the benefit of living by farms though...
I lived by a farm growing up. I can still remember the smell of manure being spread....
In Columbus, OH - they don't use non-potable water to water grass. In fact, I know a street a few blocks away that pedestrians have cut a pretty good path into to cut off the corner of the block. Why you can't just walk around? I dunno....
My wife gets asked 3 times "What's wrong?". I've been with her for 10 years; can tell there's a problem, but at this point in our relationship she knows that after 3 times, I will not ask again.
And before you call me an ass, just think about all the time you waste going back and forth and back and forth... sometimes people just want to be left alone, you know?

Wow.
I just read through his response letter. Has everyone lost their professional touch? ESR definitely makes himself look like a jerk with that response.
In the real world, people tend to be more polite.
Cut the end of the cable off. You could have seen if he was more resourceful in:
A. Using the HTPC.
B. Putting a new end on the coax.
Would have made for an interesting evening, I'm sure.
moo ha ha ha!

That's 5. You can't have five and work for the allmighty MOTO.
You're fired.
So,
we the people need to come up with a gigantic tampon to put in the hole? One that guards against messy leaks?
You can cut the suspense in the air with a knife.
How about just not calling anyone anything at all? We geeks really like to call people names, it seems....
oh wait. I just called us geeks. Shoot me now.

That's the equivalent of being "that guy" who during a riot loots a box of Rice Crispies,
Why the hell not? No one is going to miss a box of Rice Crispies!
And they're good, too. Especially if made into cookies!

I want to make a living making buggy whips.
Hmmm. There's no market for buggy whips. Guess I'm not guaranteed to be ensured compensation.
Of course, there's still a demand for books. However, if there isn't in the future, then it will drop back to "I write because I can."

You seem to forget your history... at least, if you're an American.
Witches used to be put to death here, iirc.

I'll give you irritability!!! Gimme back my coffee before I kick you in the nuts!
