Seriously... If they did this survey by only asking the sysadmin's out there, how many would give out the root password?
Don't mistake me as a troll, I'm still a Linux newbie. But if all the systems were some form of *nix, how much danger would there really be if the person was unable to get root access?
I'm not sure. I'm too lazy to glance through a EULA myself. I could see some companies complaining that they created a special demo of the game for curious people and that the game itself is not to be used as such.
Mostly I was just thinking out loud, or out-typed...hell, I don't know.
The local COMP-USA, has a LAN game room, and for games in particular, they will either open one or already have it installed on a machine and will let you try it out...
Wouldn't this be a violation of the EULA for the games?
Are you using WindowsXP, MacOS 10.2, (insert Distribution here)Linux, or your old personal favorite... Sun? Hmmm, maybe you will try them all? You are a sneaky one.
Now that was something I hadn't considered. MS opening the source to their "retired" OS'es. I don't think they would do it though. Someone else would follow thier gameplan and make a new 9x series that would be "just good enough". They would just make it cheaper and easy to code new apps for it. Someone would do to them, what they did to Apple/Mac.
Some theory(s) point to our diets in the US as compared to other nations. We are the worst for eating healthy. I had a friend who was diagnosed with ADD and you could tell a difference in him by what he had eaten. He still took medication though.
Of course 99% of all intersections with traffic lights could be replaced with round-abouts and increase saftey but that won't ever happen
You must live in Europe. They put a roundabout in a couple of years ago at a major intersection here in Florida. It soon became the absolute worse place for traffic accidents. No one could figure out how to use it.
The drivers test here in Florida is similiar to a MCSE exam, you can score perfect on the test, but you still not know what the hell you are doing.
How long do you think it will take for MS to change the codec and force everyone to update their media player to support it. Kinda works to their (MS's) advantage.
Don't get me wrong. I still think its a great accomplishment.
burglary is defined as unauthorized entry/tresspassing into any 3 or more sided shelter with a cover/roof. Theft of anything is not needed, it's an extra charge.
If you leave your front door wide open and a neighbor comes over and uses your bathroom, then leaves is it a crime ?
Others have replied that this is trespassing. Actually, it would be considered burglary, a 2nd degree felony. You might be able to plea it down to unauthorized entry, a misdemeanor.
Also, if he flushed the toilet, it's petty theft, a misdemeanor. If he didn't flush, it's illegal dumping (pun intended)of hazardous waste, a felony and a trip to federal court.
Or like my wife who tried to convince me she saved 50% on some item she purchased, while I try to convince her that didn't save anything if she spent something.
The people who don't have the latest and greatest hardware. There are still plenty of people who browse the web on a 486 pc (third world nations?). Ever tried to run the newest Netscape or IE on those?(if you even can)
God, I miss the days of surfing the web for info with simply designed pages. When a 14.4 modem was more than adequate. It's getting to the point that you need broadband just to surf the more popular sites (Google excluded of course) and I'm not referring to multimedia content sites.
As an amateur phtographer, I found this fact to be amazing...

Good point. I know a few people that have asked me if I wanted a SVCD copy of Spiderman or SW:EP2. Uh, nope. I can wait till the movie comes out on dvd. I mean c'mon, it takes 4 cd's to watch the movie and it's at good quality. I'd rather pay the money and have one dvd at great quality.
I always thought music cd's were overpriced, but when you compare them to a dvd. It's insane!
I agree. There should be different approaches to the case designs. For example, why laptops can be so quiet when their desktop equivalents are loud.
The old Volkswagens still amaze me. They used an oil cooler. It worked well despite it's size. Back in the day, they used to replace the small cooler with slightly larger coils from air-conditioners; a great improvement. Also, IIRC, the heaters in the car worked off of the heat dissapated from the exhaust pipes. Once the engine warmed up, you could bring the temp inside the car up a summer meltdown in minutes.
You are absolutley correct. I know that if I had went to college right after high school, I would have dropped out and never looked back. But, now that I finally matured (took 30 years), I'm ready for it.
Are you talking about how aol converts jpg to *.art files? IIRC, this is an option you can turn off in aol's preferences for the web browser. It was one of the first things I discovered when I *cough* used to use aol.
Tonight I shall sleep beneath a blanket of paranoia.
I wasn't worried about being cloned without my permission. I knew that no woman (other than dear ol' Mom) would want to carry a copy of me arond for 9 months. However, this changes everything.
A couple of things..
1)I wonder if a live fetus was miscarried, could it be placed into the artificial womb till birth.
2)This will be the end of that "re-birthing" craze. What re-birthing will renew my life? Well, sorry but I wasn't born that way. I was born by cracking my "shell". Which brings up...
3)You can't call this being born. You have to call it being hatched.

Careful with this advice. Some of the tax shops use this exact same or similiar software to do your taxes for you.
Perhaps rephrase it... "go to a reputable tax prep specialist and stay the hell away from do-it-yourself software solutions."

That game is exactly what the Beatles would have designed if they had been programmers, rather than musicians.
Just for laughs one day, I installed Win 3.1 on my 500 mghz box w 7200 RPM HD and 128 meg of ram. Windows loaded faster than the BIOS screen, lol!

Think conspiracy...
It's protecting the governments (and rich) from us.
Damn, I wish I was able to mod the parent up...

Better yet, you wouldn't even have to be there.
