The one way ticket done on short notice it a key flag, if it is with an airline you don't have a history with. I'll do ~5M miles a year (in the airport now, go figure), and about the only time I get tagged for 'special' security is when I end up picking up a one-way ticket on short notice on one of the airlines I don't have status on. Nothing random about it, that combo will get you a longer wait every time. That sounds like rule based profiles to me....
WTF difference is their between a "Casual Gamer" and a "Leisure Gamer"?
Lots of polyester in the closet?

Do Not Flush Your iPod
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
You risk losing you ipod if you hit the bathroom for five minutes and leave nice small equipment sitting on your chair. I've seen it happen. Someone gets up on a trans continent flight while most folks are sleeping, comes back, and are scrambling to find the ipod that walked off.
I'll also add that I did some 'blue juice' aviation engineering while putting myself through university. There were several occasions that someone would ask if there was any way to retrieve a watch, wallets, or bracelet from the tank. (the answer was no in my case) It does happen. Most folks on the larger jets just write the stuff off as lost. The guy is lucky to get the ipod back!
Depends on if they lock down the drivers on v32... I can imagine that Microsoft would not implement the HD-DVD drivers, but also make damn sure VLC (or whatever 'non-signed' 3rd party) code won't work either.
As classic video (magnetic) tape only lasts 10-20 years, you cannot expect anything on tape to still be around in 100 years. Without killing the macrovision, there will be no archives other than what might be on (real/reel) film.... Not that I expect congress to leave the dates alone.
Just pack it in the center of your clothing and it will be fine. I fly way to many miles - on the last leg of a multi continent trip, just missing the UK fiasco by a couple days - and always travel with a pair of laptops. Granted, I (use) to make it a point to do everything carry-on, but I would usually slip the spare thinkpad in the center of my suitcase and the other in my laptop bag. No fancy containers, just clean laundry at the start of trip, dirty stuff at the end. If you get a nice 'laptop' case, hard sided or otherwise, expect it to get 'lost'... A beat up bag works great.
Looking at the TSO website, it looks like the folks not traveling with 'carry-on' electronics are from the UK. Domestic flights say laptops can travel with you. No more bringing a bottle of water, however. I'll find out when I fly home tomorrow.
Joy.
But many of the IBM'ers in the German labs liked SuSE, so most of the blue stack - DB2, WebSphere, etc - seems to get developed on SuSE and then 'ported' to other distros. RH also works, but it was not as common (from what I've seen) as SuSE. (Yes, Suse now... I know)
I'm using a t60p right now with SLES 10 on it. Very nice hardware - on par with the t42p, t40p, and t30 before it. The only 'extra' bit of work for the t60 series was they switched over to a SATA HDD and a dual core CPU, which was not an issue but took a bit more work than the IDE drives and single CPU in the earlier laptops. Took forever to get the 2x2G sticks of RAM, but that would be my only beef. The rest is pretty nice kit.
The legit vendors meet the letter of the law by shipping a cable or some other trinket that qualifies the media as OEM. That part is not a grey area. Yup, the transfer issue is why I mentioned the retail version - but you would have to transfer from three machines to break even. If you have more than three machines, odds are the volume pricing is for you...
From a *trusted* on-line vendor. XP home will go for ~80-90 USD, Pro ~140. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductList.jsp?Thir dCategoryCode=071002 for example. You see it offered for much less, odds are it is a "student" version or "replacement media". OEM it typically what system builders use, so if you use that version in theory it is tied to that system. The $300 retail version can be moved from system to system, but costs a boatload more.
Same here, but Pegasus hit orbit. Smaller loads, but not a warhead too. Almost redacted the spaceship one flight for the same reason as you. I left it in as it seems to be the way 'private' spacecraft seem to be headed. May prove to be wrong, but VTOL is not the only game in town.
The only spacecraft EVER which have NOT been vtol are the shuttles, the russion ones are retired and dead and the american ones have had their share of problems lately.
I can think of a few other non-VTOL spacecraft. The Pegasus rocket (in active use today), some other Spaceship One, or even some of the early US ASAT.
These dual core things are less than I paid for my PII 400 years back. A X2 3800+ is $150, a X2 5000+ CPU is $290 today in lots of 1. I spend almost the same for a video card.... amazing cheap for what you get these days.
I do a fair bit of international coding. Problem is, I am not fluent in many of the languages I am building software. When putting together my language bundles, I always have someone do a quick walkthrough of the application who knows the language and context. You cannot count on software to give you a proper translation. Last year I was building some portlets for a French company. I added navigation and hit the fish to translate some of the finishing touches. I added a 'back' button - only to find the word I used was a person's back (not return to the previous step) in my i18n resource bundle.
How do they say - nothing is as permanent as that which was deemed temporary? Not uncommon for stuff like this to not get checked by QA.
Not sure if Intel is trying to salt the fields here, but AMD did not drop prices at all until they were forced to over the last couple years. Benchmarks can be somewhat unreliable, but with enough reading you can find how the midrange CPU's compare to each other. Since AMD also dropped the 939 socket, I'm going to look real hard at Intel as I have to update RAM and mainboard the next time I do a major update. Were I buying today, it would be Intel - that has not been the case for me since I replaced a 450 mhz slot 2 xeon with a 700mhz slot A thunderbird. I'm not the type of guy to buy an FX or Extreme! Edition of anything, but when I stack up what kind of bang for the buck I can get between $200-500, AMD has a real problem on their hands. Both the X2 and Core 2 Duo are solid technology, but I will not pay for 'brand'. The AMD kit is going to have to drop a fair bit more to be competitive in the landscape I buy in.
Damages. I've hit hotels like that (when I learned the hard way that Discover was not really a global thing). You might be able to pony up cash for the length of your stay, but if you try to do cash they expect an astronomical deposit - which is more or less what they have with a credit card. Sucks be treated like someone who parties like a rock star if you try and do conventional currency.
Those were are guesses too. The passwords were tried in blocks, so you could get an idea of the movie they were pulling from. Some stuff we never did find a match for, but it seemed like they were not trying a random letter generator.
Scripts of popular movies such as the Star Wars trilogy are obvious things to include in a cracking dictionary.
Amen!
I've seen this on some of my external servers - long lists of dictionary attacks. For a while someone was trying to log into executioner. Before an IP filter was added, we would get tons of login attempts in the logs. Quotes were always in there, including things like Darth quotes (Ifylofd, Tfiswto, Issapinfs, Ysnhcb, and the l33t spelling variants of words and phrases). It became a bit of a game to figure out who could guess the quote based on the attempted password. If you think the first letters of a quote are protection, you are in for a rude awakening when you get back into the office next week. (Happy 4th of July to those in the States)
Heh. You too? I saw how much traffic they had and figured it would be worth the time to study the whitepaper before taking the test. Most folks just winged it or did not bother. Profiling the booth paid out big time. One of the best bits of marketing swag I have ever brought home. (Grin)
While it might have a good bang/mile stat, accident free takeoff/landing vs total flighs is pretty important too. Homebuilt aircraft have much better ratios there yhan the shuttle. I would not commute to work in something with that record (but would go to space for the thrill and roll the dice on a few trips)
Hibernate. One of Sun's things they have pushed revision after revision is a bit of nastiness called entity beans. Tried once, got marginally better with the 2.x release, and are about to try for a third time with EE 5 and the EJB 3 spec. Hibernate just works - and many of the folks I know are more than happy to skip out on the EJB to Database bits from Sun. While Jboss is a J2EE server (and a good one at that) they were driving the industry more than Sun was on the database front - possibly others. (world according to me)
Let's continue to invest in war, because as we all know, war is good business, right?
At least war pays for pure R&D and cutting edge science. Seems shareholders are only interested in only doing research that will generate revenue on a quarterly basis. Unfortunate that war (or the preparation/avoidance of war) is the driver, but the cutting edge avionics and composite technologies I enjoy as an aviation hobbyist were born from that 'war machine'. Someday we might not - but I don't see it changing anytime soon.

are Putty (ssh client and proxy pipe), PSCP (secure copy of files from *nix to/from win), PSFTP (secure ftp), tail, and scite (a nice text editor).
