Screen Lock only locks users out of the user interface. It does not encrypt data on your iPod. For example, if you use Screen Lock and then connect your iPod nano to a computer, you'll be able to manage music on your iPod with iTunes and access all data on it in disk mode (contacts, notes, and any other files you have stored on the iPod).
d, the header info that comes with a DICOM formatted data set easily violates privacy at a level sufficient to trigger a $15k slap on the wrist and/or 6months jail time.
They stripped the files of identifiable information prior to saving on the iPod. And if this was still an issue, there's no reason the files couldn't also be encrypted.
Having said that, I'm still not sure its the most cost-effective way of doing things (vs. a generic external HD).
But then you have to wait several times as long to burn the DVD vs. copy to HD. And a DVD would be harder to carry around. Plus, IMO, the HD solution is more re-usable, even compared to DVD-RW media.
Other factors for the iPod would include the ability to add voice notes/dictation to go along with the images. Something a "generic" external drive wouldn't work well for.
Of course that presumes their IT personal can set up a more secure site than Apple. How is.mac not secure (or less secure)?
OTOH I have a problem with them using.mac because 1) it doesn't offer much space, and 2) it tends to be pretty darn slow (at least for me). I'm sure their are places that offer more space much cheaper and with better access. What I'm not so sure of is if those alternatives would be as drop-dead easy to use for their purposes without "professional" help.
You can set the iPod to require a 4-digit access code. I don't know at what level it locks things out or how secure it really is, but at least there is a little protection.
Hell, wouldn't it make it easier to block sites at work or home?
And that's where TFA missed a very important point. It wasn't defeated just because people objected to a "porn zone". It was defeated just as much because people were afraid of the potential for censorship. When you end up with people on both ends of the political spectrum against something...
Because the second CNN or Fox mention "DNS" or even "Domain Name" the american public with switch to another channel that has some stupid reality TV show.
Which, of course, is different than any other country, where mention of such terms causes all conversation to stop as everyone focuses on the news.
Now then, who's worse: Dvorak for continually writing such trash, or the (at least) two people who think it's a good idea to post said trash to Slashdot?
My vote goes to the people who read the article, read the comments, and post a reply that/. should stop wasting their time with such drivel (again).
To the person who (jokingly?) said their should be a filter, there is. It's between the keyboard and chair. Maybe that's where the change needs to occur.
On the Mac, the only way I know is to set a password for the the screensaver and wait for it to activate, or put the computer to sleep.
I have a "hot corner" set up to activate the screen saver. Or you can set up a keyboard shortcut.
But then, "maybe I don't want a password on the screen saver ALL THE TIME".
I'm sure I can come up with specific sets of conditions that Linux doesn't handle without an "external application or something". In all OS's if you want something very specific you have to do some work to get it that way. And if you really think all OS's are as bad as they were 20 years ago, I have to say I completely disagree. Just the ability for a PC to run more than one program at a time...
Yeah, I was trying to picture how big those fuel tanks would have to be. Need more rockets to get that load off the ground.
OTOH, It may only take doing the appropriate exercises to keep the muscle from wasting. Just put velcro hooks on the entire outside surface of the space-suit and carpet the entire interior. That'll give them a workout and they won't have to worry about floating away.
Question is, was it necessary to "break in" to point out the problem? It could have been reported without going the extra step, but that's not as sensational.
Your current player won't be able to play a native HD-DVD (or BD) disk -it doesn't have the right kind of laser.
OTOH both formats have specifications for hybrid disks where one side of the disk is HD-DVD (or BD) and the flip side is a 'normal" DVD. Much like today's DVDs often have a "Full Screen" and "Widescreen" version on different sides of the same disk.
IIRC though, this limits the number of layers that can be used, so the normal DVD side can only be a single (4.3 GB) layer instead of dual layer.
Demonstrating one amazing advantage for wikipedia. The ability to link directly to "expert" resources.
That plus the fact that one can see how entires change over time. Giving insight into controversial aspects and changing views over time that are completely missing in a normal encyclopedia.
Both are good starting points, the wikipedia has the advantage in getting the reader past the starting point to more definitive/authoritative information IMO.

Maybe you know, but I don't. All I know is there's a storm. I don't have the data or the necessary expertise to determine if there's a chance for a flash flood or tornado just by looking out the window.
So, tell me. Its storming outside. Thunder. Heavy rain. Do I head for high ground, go to the basement or not worry at all? If I'm driving do I need to get off the road now and find a safe place to hang out, just need to avoid low areas that might be flooding, or is it OK to take the road along the stream?
Just wondering, because I think there are a lot of people like me that wouldn't know. That's why when there is a storm I turn the radio or TV on to a local station.
The day that we see megabroadcasters fire up a gigawatt transmiter that plasters a broadband range with religious TV broadcasting across the entire country,
I'd be more worried about never hearing anything but Top 10 music (with the Top 10 carefully selected by the RIAA) for the rest of my life.
Slashdot Mirror
Take a look at iPod nano: How to use the Screen Lock . It has information for the Nano, and I'm assuming the video iPod is similar.
Just FYI to the point about how secure it is :
Screen Lock only locks users out of the user interface. It does not encrypt data on your iPod. For example, if you use Screen Lock and then connect your iPod nano to a computer, you'll be able to manage music on your iPod with iTunes and access all data on it in disk mode (contacts, notes, and any other files you have stored on the iPod).

Having said that, I'm still not sure its the most cost-effective way of doing things (vs. a generic external HD).
Capacity is too small.
And how big does that cluster of PSP's need to be to hold 40 GB of data?
Its being used as an external HD, not as a display.
DVDs might these days

Well the human brain is SOFT, isn't it?
No, its squishy. Big difference.

An Official Galactic Star Wars Fan Club representative will be stopping by your house tonight to reposses your Yoda costume.
Somewhere in there, under option 2, should be the sub-headings :
...
A) Make sure BD support in Windows is buggy and late.
B) Ship MS Office and Windows only on HD-DVD disks.
Can HD-DVD be used on my current player?
Your current player won't be able to play a native HD-DVD (or BD) disk -it doesn't have the right kind of laser.

Looks to me like Apple showing what can be done with Core Image.

Isn't that like arguing that since the police can't stop all crime, we should just get rid of the police force?
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue. No, they can't stop all problems, but that doesn't mean they (the FCC) aren't still needed.

That only means the FCC did a damn fine job of censoring the left one!
