I click the link, and the first image is of a very cold-looking guy standing next to the South Pole marker. Underneath it is a CDW ad that states "We're there.".
That may be the first time I've cracked a smile at an online ad.
If there was some way to verify 100% that the person whose computer you are seizing violated copyright law, then this might act as a deterrent. If, however, we judge by the way the ??AA has been lobbing their lawsuits around (suing people who don't own computers and such), this will merely act as a method for the government to pick up workstations on the cheap.
And the beautiful thing about Truecrypt is that you can give them the keys. And they'll decrypt the partition to find a huge MP3 archive and regular porn. And the tons of what illegal material the suspect -did- download won't be found, because Truecrypt hid it inside the free space of the encryption partition, where there is no way to prove it's actually there.
Anyone else reminded of the little Black Box from Sneakers? The one that used a mathematical backdoor to break any encryption based on a certain algorithm that was only used in the USA?
Reminds me of Arthur Dent's run-in with the stress-reducing features of the Heart of Gold. It takes place right after the argument with the Nutri-matic machine and is one of the more hysterical bits of the radio show that didn't make it into the books. If you haven't had the fortune of hearing it, you can read the script here. Skip down to "Scene 4. Int. Heart of Gold. Galley".
I declined this for my network via WSUS. It never set itself to "auto-install" as some of the comments I'm reading say it did, at least not in my network environment.
It's a shame, I was hoping for more tactile interaction with the Wiimote. Shaking it to the left or right to dash, for example. They missed a golden opportunity, too...
Those of us who were around when the original Super Mario Brothers came out all got to experience it: that moment when you know you're going to miss that jump and fall down the bottomless pit. So what did we do? We tipped the controller sideways, as if we could somehow push that chubby plumber over just the few pixels needed to bring him out of danger. I did it, my parents did it, and all of my friends did it, at least once or twice. Of course, it never worked.
Now, though, with each character in Brawl having a "save" move that can bring you back out of the pit, it would have been a perfect time to bring a response to that motion and tie it to the "save". Alas, it seems it's not to be.
Looking at the PDF, I see problems with some of the new fonts already. In Cambria, the horizontal bar of the lowercase letter "e" is a complete blur, as the the bar of "A". Corbel has similar problems. These issues are not visible at any zoom level with the fonts the aforementioned are intended to replace.
I think you could get them on a DMCA provision only if they were decrypting BT traffic in order to block it. Of course, if you were a major corporation you could probably claim that TCP/IP is a form of "encoding" and thus by mangling packets Comcast is in violation, but I don't think ordinary "consumers" are allowed to use the DMCA in that manner.
Yeah. Hopefully they fix those up for the Wii release. I haven't even played the game, but I've watched a couple of gameplay videos on youtube and the "voices" make me want to fastforward the video. They should take a(nother) page from Zelda's book and just use one or two sounds to establish the character's voice, then shut them up from then on!
And since it seems that cooling the brain induces a form of hibernation... that means that just sitting in front of an air conditioner could knock you cold.

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

It's lethal rounds or nothing, peacekeepers!

What is it that we want? Split the country? Looks like we could be headed that way.
Step right up.
Exempted himself from all security policies so he could download porn at work.
I do propose at some point the ubiquitous rude behavior on cell phones dictates some solution. I hope sooner rather than later.
I hear cattle prods are fairly effective. Oh sure, it briefly increases the noise level, but it's well worth it.

Actually I suspect the GP was referring to this episode. I know it's one of my favorites.

Saw it in WSUS, declined it, end of issue.
Haven't you heard? Real is brown.
Then you're watching the wrong show. You want Penn and Teller's "Bullshit!" for that.

So it would seem. It occurs on my laptop with Cleartype on at certain zoom levels, but not on my desktop under the same circumstances. Curious.

On the upside, Consolas looks pretty nice.

You'll miss us. Who'll blow stuff up when we're gone?
$2000? No wonder they haven't had any takers. No one will believe that they can buy the script to IJ4 for such a low amount.
You lift the Wiimote to strangle people? It's like my very own Force-choke! Awesome!
You think Walmart's bad? Check out Hobby Lobby. The only products in there that are -not- made in China are the candles. And only some of them.
Any pictures of that? I'd love to see 'em.
