I think if my digital color copy self-destructed to the point where it took a $250.00 service call and an interview with the secret service to get it going again, and there wasn't a warning about coping certain image patterns, I'd might be inclined to sue.
If I bought a car to discover later that I couldn't go over 60km/h because there are 60km/h speed limits I'd want my money back.
It's not unusual for a car's computer to limit the cars speed to the speed rating of the stock tires, and engine rpms to there design limits. People who race their street cars, sometimes have to recalibrate their speedometers, so that thier MPH are correct when the speedometer is set for KMPH, the computer thinks they are going 100KMPH or 62MPH but the driver knows he going 100MPH.
1. install currency duplication protection in color copier, with 3 stikes your out lock down 2. install copier in office full of practical jokers 3 PROFIT from service calls at $150.00 per instance and $75.00 an hour!
Perhaps if the company made sure that all of it's copiers were digital copiers, that recognised the special mark, it might help. Then they would have to find a ink color that none of the companies fax machines could read, then ban cameras, cellular picture phones, ect.
As you can see, it's appealing idea on the surface, but it's practical application wouldn't really be effective.
the only problem I see is copying the do not copy symbol on to the copy you don't want copied. That was like saying GNU means GNU is not unix with straight face
I for one will not EVER visit a site that shows any advertising that I can't either ignore or circumvent.
Dude it runs on windows(R) so just get LINUX(R); until redmond ports Windows Media Player software, which an estimated 8 of 10 Internet users have on their computers to LINUX(R) we're safe! The magic 8 ball says LINUX(R) on the desktop just got a big leap forward.
I agree, I don't think Linux should fall into the trap of pandering to the lowest common demoninator, the greatest common denominator is where we should be aiming. Windows is at a cross roads, the push for greater stability, and security is increasingly moving them into the lower edge of where Linux and mac is at on the upper edge.
Linus is the maintainer of the experimental Linux kernal, he realy doesn't care about 1. package managers, 2. Window managers,
He seems to like Xwindows, but he isn't saying we have to use it. He wants to let us all fight among ourselves concerning standards and now Linux is the most fragmented OS in existence.
Well he does try to keep the fight fair which lends itself to the survival of the fittest and ultimately the best overall system.
Concidering that you can get http, pop/smtp, and database for US$8-10 per month, I'm amazed that there are only 4 million reachable IP addresses running an SMTP server. Makes you wonder how long it would take to nmap the internet for smtp severs yourself.
mud is basicaly a colloidal suspension of dirt particles in water;
1 colliodal suspension is a collection of particles in elctrostatic repulsion in a fluid, and 2 a fluid is a gas or a liquid.
then if your not anal about the water or even the liquid part, then you could say it's mud as I don't believe that mud has a scientific definition.
Mars doesn't have enough atmopheric preasure for H2O to exist in it's liquid state, essentialy the boiling point of water is less than it's freezing point on mars so no water, just ice or steam. When a solid turns into a gas, by passing the liquid state it's called sublimation, that's what happens in your freezer when the ice cubes keep getting smaller over time.
mustard gas, nitrogen mustard is (or was) used as an antineoplastic or cancer drug. A very close relative of nerve agents are used to treat Myasthenia Gravis.
The truth is the military is very concerned about things like logistics, medicine, personel management and security all areas that are also the concerns of any bussiness or government. Most civilians have no idea of how little military activity is involved with the direct application of combat power
Now I understand, sometimes macro means macro and sometimes macro means an application that uses a spreadsheet ect. as a display; and the last time I tried using them was access 2!
Still it seems that there is a lot of available power neing un-utilized
so how hard would it be to embed a perl, python, java, or even lisp into openOffice that would blow away anything that they could do with a few silly MS macros?
my ATI Xpert 98 has been identifies as different cards on the same machine without any changes to xf86 other than trying to reconfigure screen resolutions; ATI probably will not get any more of my money.
The market-speak problem is getting worse all of the time; maybe we should take all of these "marketing weenies" and shoot'em in the ass with a cyanide dart. It's pathetic when every time you go to buy something you feel you should make the salesman open the products case so you can be sure what's supposed to be there is infact there.
Dude nothing is secure, my user directory is password protected, but if somebody really wants in, eventualy they'll get in.. It' a matter of the cost of cirumvention being greater than the benifits of circumventing that protects things not a particular technology, or even Microsoft market-speak.
The 3 percentages are about 64.6%, 71.2% and 22.5%, so if i take
50% of a head of lettuce, 100% of an orange,
75% of a bannana and 25% of a cup of Miracle Whip, I get 62.5% of a fruit salad?
I guess everybody knows why I flunked calculas now!
I suppose you're hacking apart Pringles cans and duct-taping them to the cars, right? Ever seen how well most laptop screens work when they're either hot, cold, or in direct sunlight?
our sherrif's dept uses pretty standard looking laptop's in patrol cars that have both heater's and air conditioning, these connect to a pretty standard looking Nextel cellphones.
Now tell me, when was the last time *you* actually downloaded some open source software, and instead of using it... you went through the code line per line looking for bugs.
there has been 3 projects, where I have downloaded and examined the code, and not found any bugs by looking, intsalled the software and played with it long enough to find bugs, track the bugs back to the source code and repaired and submitted the patch results:
a. project maintainer univesaly rejected submited patches, project forked to a more responsive maintainer. b. project died due to withdrawl of corporate sponsor, mine may be the only verson in the wild that works. c. patch was independently submit by sombody else and fixed to bug in the new version released the next day after my submition.
OBTH, in Michigan we have adopt-a-highway, adopt-a-park programs where volunteers go out and pick up litter on the roads and parks; sure the people actualy use the roads or parks. If open standards/open Source software meant my state save millions, my municipality saved 10K and I only had to change my primary residence address at one agency instead of 15 because the databases were fully integrated and normalize, I'd benefit there too.
Actual dracula would be the diminutive term of the root dracu or the dragon, as freddie is to fred.
interestingly Vlad Tepish, or Dracula was the Prince of Walachia and the time he spent in Transylvania was basicaly as an exile under house arrest. Most of his Military and interpersonal skills he learned while being a hostage of the Ottomans(seems daddy had to play both sides of the fence and got caught).
Also interesting is that our personification of good and our personification of evil fought side by side
try dracula, not the story-book vampire, but the real person; quitre possibly he was personaly invovled with the execution of more human beings than any other person. He did this in a relatively short period, in defense of the catholic church from the ottoman threat and is probably resonsable more than anyone else for europeans being christian rather than islamic.
And yet, its still fucking legal! Explain it to me God, explain it to me, I want it explained, Jesus!!!!!!
no it not legal, it's illegal on so many different levels, that its hard for the Law Enforcement to keep track of it all. Most cops have a hard enough time keeping up with their case load, to bother looking at the big picture once in a while.
I can assure you, a great deal of spam is comming in from windows systems that have been infected with some exploit and turned into mail relays. isn't that computer trespass? doesn't that get some people prison time? Personaly I'd call each 'ploited system a potential terrorist weapon, and I'm sure that the money trail is convoluted enough that somewhere along the line some terrorists, drug-lord or other crime syndicate type gets a cut.

no the problem is clueless people are possibly using an unitentional alteration avoidance mechanism as a security mechanism.
