the children involved with the study were initially apprehensive about Qrio but became used to it's presence after a month and now dance with it and 'help it get up when it falls'. They apparently think of it 'as a feeble younger brother'.
That conditioning may be a problem later in life when they meet a 50 ton battledoid and they want to dance with it.
I think I'll bumped into you at a room party there. You'll said that someone on Slashdot told you how to find it, but then you'll said to not tell you when you posted because it wasn't worth the trip.
Here in Toronto, they bounced the 2nd part of the Evil Beard Universe to a different time *and* a different channel. Normally it's on CITY at 8pm, but they shifted it to their junior station CKVR at 10pm. (Plus other options depending on your cable/rabbit-ears config.)
It's as if they saw the first part and said "Holy frack! Hide the next part on CKVR or the non-fans will see it and like it! Cover the CITY hole with Sex in the City and Friends and run Spiderman opposite Enterprise and maybe even the geeks will be distracted!"
He owns 10% of a company with a "$7+ billion war chest". I assume that means liquid assets and not the total value of the company. So turning down $10 million or so might be for a tax break.
Two things if you're using a fireplace: Make sure the damper is open (duh!;), and burning paper alone doesn't always seem to generate the updraft needed to suck the smoke up the chimney. Getting a log or two going good first might be an idea and should result in a lot less smoke and residue gunking the chimney. Don't try to add it all at once, and yeah, don't just walk away.
Mix the pieces with kitty litter, biohazard baby diapers and damned leftovers from Hell's Fridge. The crimial might get your identity, but he'll never be clean again!
I remember when people were saying that it was okay for/etc/passwd to be publically readable with one-way password hashes. The idea that someone could take an entire dictionary, preprocess it through the hash, and then match against that took some getting used to. After all, they'd need their own computer and who had that?:P
With biometrics, granted there's still the problem of how to use the information to fool another system, but part of the security of unique unduplicatable information would been lost.
If whoever made that system had a shred of intelligence, they would use a one-way hash for thumbprints and match based on that.
Yes, IF. Do they, in fact, use a one-way system for storing their data? That was part of what I was wondering, but I guess you didn't think of that before posting.
Back in the dawn age, weren't there some cheesy modems powered by the phone line? I'll bet that the phone companies had something to say about that idea. (And said by large lawyers with clubs.)
(Not so much the cost of the power as that the system wasn't designed for large scale freeloading.)
Slashdot Mirror
I must disagree.
They've had those for years. Why do you think they reject anyone during jury selction who doesn't sit around watching daytime television?
Not seeing a problem so far...

We prefer them to be in tune with the values of typical Canadian citizens. :)
Or take the easy way out. How about CSI: Klingon?
Space Channel tonight at 8pm. Or *cough*torrent*cough*

Even further than the Delta Quadrant.
You forgot to ask yourself the important question: "Is the quality of the screener any good?"
I'm still waiting for Neil Gaiman's grocery list to come out. Perhaps something of a limited genre, but I'm sure it would be a good story.
That depends. After the screenings, a screener on p2p seems inevitable. (Now there's a conflict of /. ethics!)
The kid who poked at the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was a real klutz!
Huh? But mine was a Yamauchi!
But .. they are still selling playing cards, like the Pokémon Trading Card game. :)

But on the plus side, you won't have to go to the kitchen to make the popcorn.
