i'm having a hard time finding any info on him post 1999
Then you're not trying very hard. He's running for governor of California. Google News search
I should say, with the exception of his bid for governorship, i'm having a hard time finding info on him post 1999. And you're right.... i'm not trying very hard! I'm not all that interested in Gary Coleman in general. In fact, the only reason I heard something about him in a hit and run is because I was making some tea, the tele happened to be on, and some entertainment news channel was running a story on him. My microwave takes 2min to brew tea, and I got my 2min worth of Coleman information.
I do pay $50 monthly for 2.5mbit/384k QoS max upstream bandwidth = 384000 bps QoS max downstream bandwidth = 2504000 bps
I could pay $30 monthly for roughly 1/2 that speed, but I enjoy getting 5ip addresses.
If you are talking comcast or earthlink DSL though, their speeds are pretty much 1.8mbit/258k 1.5mbit/384 respectivly depending on region [earthlink dsl in some areas is limited to 128k upstreem, comcast in come areas offers 3mbit downstreem]. Base price is $50.00, but based on talking with both earthlink and comcast, you can get service for $30 monthly so long as they are doing that promo, or so long as some *other guy* offers their service for less. [memo to these users, talk with your ISP about lowering your rate IF they are charging you full rate]
US is a veritable broadband paradise? If you can get it! I still know of people who just can't get dsl or cable service, many of who are within 10 miles distance of me.
I'm thinking the last thing on Gary Coleman's mind is computing. Last thing I heard he was involved in a rather serious hit and run accident, though i'm having a hard time finding any info on him post 1999.
Assuming I was interested in "security", and needed to wipe non-fuctional drives, I would either
1. Use a strong magnetic field and zap the data [hince zapping the data but still able to return to the maker for replacement] or 2. Disassemble the drive and use the platters as coasters.
Other people use a slightly more brutish technique and drill a hole directly through the unit, but to be honest, without an erase the data still might be recovered. Why anyone would bother is beyond me, but it's possible.

But come to think about it, it's been forever since I've needed to use low level formating utilities of any sort. I'm not sure they are viable on modern IDE drives. In the olden days I could easily zero a drive using basic low level harddrive formating utilities, ones with bad sectors just took forever to zero.
That's not how it works. You can't just "generate all possible sequences of machine ID's." (that's Hollywood hacking)
Actually that's brute force hacking. 0001 0002 0003.
I'll freely admit, I don't know how large the serial numbers on the x-box are, or if it's encrypted in anyway shape or form, but there has absolutly got to be a finite limit. It could be such a large number that it would take eons generate them all by one user, but hey.
You have to have the contents of an EEPROM to mimic another machine.
Actually it would probally be easier to create software to mimic the x-box authentication sequence. Just sniff the traffic and establish at which point the x-box service queries your romID, which is something x-box hackers should be doing anyway in order to create a better mod chip.
Would this be illegal? Probally! Could be considered a DDoS attack if a group decided to protest in this way.
If it was Linux Live, would you mind as much? {please mod parent this up, while I disagree with this statement, they do have a point}
Very much so! Part of my issue with Linux, and still is, is the fact that most software has dependencies. Which is all perfectly fine I can spend a few hours hunting around for the software the software requires, but what really gets my goat is when the new software conflicts with something and causes the whole ball of wax to screw up royal.
Obviously, the next step is for Microsoft to start throwing the patches on the game disks -- watch for an 'update firmware' message the first time you boot the game.
I know it was popular some years back to autoinstall a copy of DirectX with that Windows XX compatable game. While this was most spiffy in many ways, such games more often then not had older versions of DirectX.
This sounds like a whole bunch of fun for the microsoft support department, telling users what games they need to load in what sequence in order to resolve compatability issues.
I must admit, i'm a little confused by this. You can say that MS-Dos is dead as no one is developing for it anymore. In fact the last DOS version i'm aware of was IBMs PC-dos 2000, which to be honest I never saw.
You could say that it was killed by the more advanced operating systems of last decade of the 10th century. This would be fair and reasonable.
But Unix being dead... that seems a bit of a leap. It seems to me that development for Linux is actually helpful in keeping Unix alive. There are still a vast number of applications distributed for specific flavors of unix that are offered in their binary form only, and OSS seems to be damn fucking useful in keeping these systems up to date and useable.
Man were dealing in drugs (pot), was trying to take drugs cross the border. His car was impounded at the border. My memory is vague whether he abandoned the vehicel, or if he made bail and went back to canada, or whatever what not. Needless to say the vehicel was impounded I believe most legaly at the border.
After getting a nice letter that he could have his vehicel back, he decided to go cross the border, needless to say he was arrested on the spot. The guy was an idiot for trusting nice american police. Not that he wasn't breaking the law or anything, it still doesn't excuse this form of deceptive behavier.
huh? are you crazy? Canada is a sovereign nation, and the US has absolutely no jurisdiction here.
Correct, canada is a sovereign nation [or a commonwealth one depending on your point of view], and has NO jurisdiction, which is rather why they had to use the trick of "come to america to pick up your car" in order to arrest someone in Canada. US jurisdiction starts at the 49th.
It's criminal to US lawenforcement to wiretap Americans, and i'm sure it's also criminal to do so in canada, but never the less America does indeed monitor Canadian nationals for national security(sic) reasons.
But moving there won't do you much good, because that obviously labels you as a Subversive Anti-American, and it's just as easy for them to wiretap you 100 km north of the border as 100 miles south of the border, and the Feds kidnap Americans from Mexico so they'll probably try Canada too, and it's presumed that if you're not going there for Subversive Anti-American Reasons
Actually, I believe it's easier to do wiretaps because there is NO warrent required for an american agency to peform a wiretap on someone in canada.
I remember one case where someone was being monitored in canada for their dealings in pot. Their vehicel was impounded and they were sent home. The police sent a nice note "please come back to america to get your impounded vehicel" and fancy that, they were arrested. Canadian officals protected, but that doesn't change the fact the person made a choice to leave the protection of Canada.
Some States already had laws in place [War on Drugs] regarding circumstances where no warrent is required to peform a search if the presence of drugs and guns were in place.
A further strech of this theme... if you had the chemistry to produce drugs (meth for example), you could be prosecuted based on the quality of drugs you could produce.
Where do you draw the line? Do you count petrol or sawdust as a "chemical weapon of mass destruction" because it is a substance which has the capability to cause death or serious injury"?
This should be easy. A gun isn't a WoD as the amount of death or injury it can inflict limited to the size of it's clip and requires line of sight for an accurate kill. It's a Weapon of Specific destruction. Meth isn't used as a WoD because its primary intended use in it self doesn't immediate death, and can hardly be described as a weapon because it requires you consume it to cause the desired effect, death, or serious injury.
To qualify as a WoD, it *should* be in my minds eye something designed to kill people indiscriminately without the need of line of site delivery.
I'd like to think that living in Canada will put me far enough out of the way that I'm not sucked in when America flushes itself down the toilet, but that might be too optimistic.
You are not being too optimistic, because of our low flow toilets, nothing gets sucked down. And because you can still be true toilets built to John Crapper's specifications in Richmond BC (perhaps other cities below sea level), it's very much possible that Canada as a whole has superior flushing capabilities.
Actually, i'm somewhat shocked that there isn't a worm to peform a DDoS on phones. Many systems on the net have modems installed, well mine doesn't but your average store bought pc comes equiped with a modem.
The problem is with 800 numbers is there is a hardcopy record of you calling the number. It's not really reccomended that you put your modem on redial , though i'm not sure if there would be any legal issues regarding doing this other then harrassment.
Agreed! It's considered in bad taste and remarkably stupid to make reference on a network system with *logs* to killing someone. Considering the jarhead that shot Reagan was doing so to impress someone, it's just as likely you'll find some mentaly unbalanced fellow who can claim "he told me to do it". I'm all for privacy, but if I saw something like that on my system, while i'd still request a supena, i'd make sure to archive it for easy retrieval.
However, taking the time to post something, and encouraging others to do so, provided it's not harrassment would be most acceptable. Here is an idea.
Put a couple of nuts in an envelope and post to McBride with a note that reads "Your nuts ---a linux user". It's not even insulting beause they are now his nuts.
I'm too lazy to google the subject at the moment, but I do vagly also remember a case in washington regarding the leaving of surveillance equipment. Someone was nice enough to leave a camcorder in the girls locker room at the Kingdome for the benifit of recording images of the cheerleaders changing. While this was considered to be in bad form, and generally accepted as being illegal, the only means they had the procucte the guy was under the wiretapping laws, as in the video wasn't the problem it was the onboard mic on the camera that was the *criminal* act.
While police would need a warrent to plant a camera / recording device, it seems most interesting the fact that this prior precident might make it perfectly legal for any old joe who has legit access somewhere to plant a recording device, so long as it's not audio.
Also, i'm somewhat shocked the fact that this issue has not popped up before. It's not like we didn't have radio tracking devices before.
Perhaps i'm slighty too young to really remember the cold war, but i'm not so young not to remember the schools here in america teaching us about the evils of the big bad(sic) soviet empire. One issue that was commonly brought up was the right to privacy.
It was sugested that the soviet union on a regular basis snooped through postal mail, which was considered to be repugnent by western nations. Am I to believe that in the UK that e-mail snooping is being sugested? Not that e-mail is remarkably private in the first place, it just seems to be such a violation of human rights to give automatic access to this particular medium, and a complete hypocrisy to consider telephone taps off limits but e-mail which often times goes over traditional telephone lines.
I can appricate the fact that if there is enough evidence to convience a judge, one can get a warrent to search someone's residence. What the hell is wrong with that old procedure.
When I think of Disney, I do tend to think of subtle adult jokes and lewd references in the background.
Salvador Dali drew all his tree knots like little anuses. Those of you that think this is a flame google +"Salvador Dali" +Anus. From what I remember, he seemed to think all tree knots looked like little anuses. I think this is strangly approperate for a disney production.
Still... his anus fixcation aside, definatly one of the great artists who's style seems to be under-rated in the 21st century. Even people involved in computer graphics look at his work [http://www.artdirect.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/ vpid/659803/vpcsid/0/SFV/12840] and think it was a modern ray-trace.
Nah, say you're a new age yuppie/hippie and you're all into power crystals and sensory deprivation but are also an important exec at a dotcom startup. You want to meditate, but don't want to miss an important call while you're in the tank.
In that case... I would think that scuba technology would be more approperate. For most amatures you ususally don't need a full hemlet with radio, but they do indeed exist. A good wetsuit 1/4 inch will heat up to body temp even in coldish waters.
Depends on the Motorcycle. There are some cycles with 1.6l engines...
according to the Harley Davidson website, the 2004 Roadking with the twincam 88ci [88ci * 16.381ci/cc= 1441cc about the size of a tercel engine ] engine gets:
Miles per Gallon(7)
Carb. 46 hwy / 37 city
ESPFI 46 hwy / 39 city
While whis is on the "good" side, it's also "good" for an automobile.
I'm struggling on a logical application on this one. The only thing I can think of is the super duper isophonesex lines. You can really focus in on the caller breathing heavy as you masturbate in a luke warm pool. It's an experence, and probally legal in most civilized countries.

Was this ment as a joke? Duh!
Why can't the game check to see if the version of software on the XBox is newer than the software it carries? Seems like the obvious solution.
:P
Sure, that would be good, assuming the new patch does not create new issues, or causes older games not to work.
Newer isn't always better

Expect trying to connect to Xbox Live with a modified machine to GET YOUR MACHINE BANNED FROM XBOX LIVE FOREVER.
1. Get a mod chip that generates all possible sequences of machine IDs.
2. In protest of this policy connect with such a mod chip, get all x-boxes banned.
3. Profit?
So, on that line...what if you are one of the unluckies that has his XBox self-patch? If you paid with a credit card, why not dispute it?
Perhaps because your average person with an x-box purchaced it over 30 days ago.
