Well, lower the g, and I wholeheartedly agree:)
Geiss: "Whoa! I have a new respect for ASM again!" Smoke: "smooooth. Let there be 2D- fluid dynamics in the land!" MilkDrop: "Oooo Ahhh Ohhh. Does this man work for Carmack? He should."
Automating access and updates to the OFAC SDN, FinCEN, and other lists of suspected terrorists and those engaged in illicit activities,
Automating screening of transactions against suspect lists, as the transactions occur,
Screening of the Customer Information Files (CIFs--both umbrella and application specific) and company employees against suspect lists,
Automating the investigation process through to clearing a suspect by adding them to the excluded list or SAR reporting with historical documentation of the investigation process,
Automating user notification of suspected matches via email, pager, wireless, or other methods
Facilitating electronic interactions with FinCEN, other regulators, enforcement agencies, and financial institutions,
Facilitating the implementation and maintenance of internal lists for tracking the activity of customers based on specific requirements of an institution
Bold emphases mine, of course. For an innocent system there's quite a lot of room for abuse of power, don't you think? Secrets lists and investigations are the kind of things that give Hitler-wannabes woodrow.
You are correct that the Patriot Act doesn't make us faschists. It makes us sheep. We all know what happens to sheep when the farmer doesn't think anyone's watching. Do you really think the US Gov will be any different?
I never said that he should piss in MS's cheerios, I was just stating that he seemed to be on a short leash... like there was a MS PR bunny in the next room about to give him his annual review.
I would like to direct your attention to an answer Marc gave to a question about the MS Antitrust proceedings. For those who didn't RTFA, Loudcloud is Marc's new business...
Andreessen: Generally, Microsoft is a partner of Loudcloud, and we work really well with them at Loudcloud because we support their technology and we have a bunch of customers running on Windows. So we don't take formal positions on remedies or lawsuits.
It should be simple enough to write a program that, upon install, adds an additional key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers that gives the user another context menu of "Change which program opens this file".
The program would bring up an interface perhaps somewhat like "File Types" dialog now, but with simpler options. Something like:
"This type of file [MP3 music file] is currently set to open with Windows Media Player [insert icon here]. Would you like to change this behavior? "
If the user clicks "yes", they are presented with a list of programs out of the Add/Remove Programs list (hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\un install) , perhaps with those known to open the given file type listed first. It would have to be AOL-easy, of course, as that would be the target audience...

I saw this discussion on StorageReview (or one just like it) several months ago. After reading it, I came to the conclusion that the only people posting were those that have had problems with these drives. Any time someone came back with "Mine works fine", they were shot down with "IBM sympathiser" or "lucky [%^&%*]" name-calling.
I found this disheartening. Are we all just angst-ridden 14-16 year olds?
FWIW, I have 2 75GXPs in my machine right now: A 30 and a 45 gig. Both from Hungary. Neither one has given me even a passing whine. I have had them in 24*7 use for 12+ months now.
Get this... you can register now for the new low price of $50 (USD)/domain/Year. And, wouldn'tya know it, these folks are sooo nice, they will auto-bill you for your first 5 years of registration:)
If you know 25 other people that have the same type of CAR that you do

17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Perhaps a small program that checks to see what "wedge" programs (Key loggers, Video capture proggies, etc) are in place would be of interest to Privacy-conscious people?
For Win32 ppl, I'm sure a short perl script that pokes around in HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP subkeys and looks for known wedges and suspicious strings would be helpful.

Yes, the June 18th hotfix *DOES* cover this vulnerability. If you read the articles on a real security news source, you will find that the fix for the "Code Red" work is Q300972, issued on... (wait for it)... June 18th. ---

Well, lower the g, and I wholeheartedly agree
Geiss: "Whoa! I have a new respect for ASM again!"
Smoke: "smooooth. Let there be 2D- fluid dynamics in the land!"
MilkDrop: "Oooo Ahhh Ohhh. Does this man work for Carmack? He should."
in perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$filename=shift;
$from=shift;
$to=shift;
unless (-e $filename) {print "$filename doesn\'t exist! Aiee!\n"; exit;}
open(WHIN,$filename) or die "unable to open $filename for read!\n";
@inlines=;
close(WHIN);
foreach (@inlines)
{
s/$from/$to/eig;
print "$_";
}
print "Done!\n";
Or, if you wanted to read from STDIN (as you mentioned)
like this:
some_cmd_name | perl snr.pl
you could do:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$from="hot";
$to="cold";
while ( <STDIN> )
{
s/$from/$to/eig;
print "$_";
}
print "Done!\n";
Hope this answers your question.

Shouldn't the link be:

not
220 2.2GHz dual Xenon machines ?
Not that I'd expect any sort of technical accuracy from this site. It's not like it's the most visited geek site on the 'net or anything...
I guess I'm a little slow on the draw today.
Older than you, evidently.

No, he means 'lighten'
