This is exactly why anyone who wants to both buy and sell things on eBay have 2 accounts. One for buying, and one for selling. I don't really care if my buying account gets negative feedback. At least I can be honest and call out lousy sellers without fear of them tarnishing my feedback.
I found this paragraph in the contract interesting:
The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, material, equipment, services, and facilities to
perform the following requirements without any cost to the Government. On or after the effective date of
this purchase order, the Contractor may establish and collect fees from third parties (i.e, other than the
Government) for the functions performed under this purchase order, provided the fee levels are approved
by the Contracting Officer before going into effect, which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably and
provided the fee levels are fair and equitable and provided the aggregate fees charged during the term of
this purchase order do not exceed the cost of providing the requirements of this purchase order. The
Government will review the Contractor's accounting data at anytime fees are charged to verify that the
above conditions are being met.
I have one of the Sierra Wireless EVDO PCMCIA cards from Sprint. What is interesting about this card is that the PCMCIA card actually has a USB interface internally, which has the EVDO modem attached via USB. It's nice to see that they finally released a full-blown USB version. I wonder how the power consumption compares to this version vs. the PCMCIA EVDO cards.
With the WGA program, Microsoft says a user who unknowingly purchases a counterfit version of Windows will receive a free copy of Windows XP, if they report the seller.
From the release:
"As part of this agreement with many of its major stakeholders, and as the next step in its previously announced plan to reorganize its businesses, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. SGI's non-U.S. subsidiaries, including European, Canadian, Mexican, South American and Asia Pacific subsidiaries were not included in the filing; will continue their business operations without supervision from the U.S. courts; and will not be subject to the requirements of chapter 11. The Company expects to file its Plan of Reorganization reflecting the agreement shortly, and to emerge from Chapter 11 within six months."
We deployed the same scenario: 802.1x, Microsoft CA, IAS, etc and it turned out to be a nightmare. For some clients who had just the right wireless cards and drivers everything worked ok, but there were still a lot of clients who had intermittant/frustrating problems. We eventually had to drop the WPA and implement a different wireless security strategy. In the end we attributed the failure of the system to be with the wireless NICs and Microsoft's buggy wireless client. There are still a lot of vendors out there (IBM/Lenovo, are you listening?) who's gear isn't up to par with WPA. We tried multiple vendors' PCMCIA and USB wireless cards all to no avail. Perhaps a third party solution would work more smoothly?
The real argument for ID isn't that we don't understand how bees fly, thus God must have invented it. Its the fact that something dumb cannot make something intelligent. It takes something very intelligent to make bees fly. It took researchers at a university a long time using very sophisticated equiment just to figure out bee flight. Sure bees probably evolved over time to their present state, but even the process of evolution takes a level of intelligence not possible to random chance.
FWIW I just got a 5th gen video iPod, and while I'm no audiophile it sounds just as good (or better) as my discman did, or as plugging the earbuds into my SB Audigy 2. I can, however, hear the difference between a 192K CBR and a 320K file. If the source file sounds like crap, then so will the iPod.
And not only does the exploit work with.WMF (Windows MetaFile), but if the attacker renames it to, say,.JPG, Windows will detect this a really being a.WMF, and STILL execute it. Pretty serious stuff. See this bugtraq link for details.
I had almost that exact same setup, except I had 2GB RAM. A lot of newer games (BF2, Doom3, Quake4) were choppy, even at low resolutions with features turned off. That 128MB XFX GF6800 is probably to blame. I upgraded to a PCI-E motherboard, and installed a different video card, and all my lagging/jumpy problems went away.
I always dread upgrading FF. Half my extensions always break. Can't FF standardize on some kind of extension format that is forward compatible? Even IE doesn't break when upgrading.

They have been disabled until compatible versions are installed.
To Firefox's credit, the only ones that were still broken after updating them all were Super DragAndGo, Tabbrowser preferences, and User Agent Switcher. Uggh. </rant>
If people are really that worried about privacy, couldn't some sort of lead case be made that would shield the passport from transmitting RF? Kind of like a tin foil hat for your passport.
Maybe easier and more widley used but not as scalable or robust.

Is it really a popularity contest? That's really funny.
