yeah, pulseaudio not working here. Well it works almost all the time though, after I installed about 20 more pulseaudio packages not installed by default in ubuntu. Still it happens that suddenly either the pulseaudio deamon looses access to/dev/dsp or pulseaudio refuses connections and I have to restart it.

If/dev/dsp is not supposed to be opened directly by user programs why the hell does it still exist? Why is there no/dev/pulsedsp and then the/dev/dsp is created by pulseaudio and manages all the legacy crap. It's all bad design, really.
Also a good distribution should include only compliant audio applications (including IM and stuff) or adapt those programs so that they work with the chosen audio infrastructure. Hey ubuntu, you want the desktop, well get your sound working!

the problem with the asset tags is that you easily swap numbers or other human errors. Was it PC4523 or was it PC4253? Easier to have "bart" and "homer".

> you can set the maximum wrong guesses to zero, so the smart card would lock after the first try And write a wrong password on the card itself, so the chance that someone will just try that are quite good:-)
LOL, so you effectively give them your data saying it's the key so they can use it to decrypt the key which they think is the data and they get War and Peace. Funny.
with truecrypt you can use keyfiles which can be any binary data additionally to your key. So in that case the password effectively becomes pure binary and bruteforce is impossible. You would need to know which of those 1000 files is the keyfile. Of course stored on a FAT filesystem so there is no last access time available.
There are more problems due to antivirus software suddenly declaring important system parts as viruses or just simply crashing the whole kernel. That never happens with bad passwords. On the other hand, the virus soft and database gets updates automatically whereas the overly complexified passwords and strict changing periods just create a work overload on the sysadmin because everyone just forgets their password all the time.

no, scales have a high performance analog computer build in, which converts Newtons back into mass. For optimization reasons, g has been put in as a constant, thus the damn devices won't work on moon or mars. You will need to buy them all again!
what I don't understand. I thought browsers would cache via server names and URI, not on base of the resolved IP address. So as long as your intranet is on intranet.example.com and not on 192.168.1.3 I can't see a problem.
if the hacker has enough criminal energy, he can as well wipe out all tapes in the tape library than erase a mirror server. So you actually have to do a physical action to remove the tapes regularly and store them somewhere.
Another way is to make sure that the backup system can not be accessed from anywhere. It then fetches the data to be put on tape but is in itself a closed configuration.
With a firefox proxy addon I run all flv through a proxy (wwwoffle) which simply saves every youtube video. Unfortunately the newer raw flv are no more playable (some DRM stuff?) so an additional script regularly retrieves the mp4 version.
I would accept the term robot for the automats. At least they don't need a human all the time to do the dumb repetitive task. And if the task only requires to repeat stuff, then a "simple" memory what to do is all it needs.
It seems that today robot means "replacing a human by machine" even if the human still exists an is then just a few steps away.
Remote controlled devices are now robots? Just because robot wars uses RC controlled monsters and calls them robots? For me a robot is something where at least some intelligence is done automatically. I can't see any robotic thing in these toys.
So yes, the military and police bomb brobots are no robots, still just remote controlled machines. If I remote control an excavator it does not suddenly become a robot.

Without the tracker I think they would not be guilty. So DHT torrents would be absolutely fine.

mine didn't work with oss
it did not with alsa
and still does not with pulse
Seems i'm always on the recieving side.
what to improve:

and to some extend you can even drive with your parking slip some blocks further and still use it if it has some time left.

hmm, 48? I'm sysadmin, and it's 480 :-)
Solution: ssh keys, sudo, sshagent and ewallet.

I could not see the special effects well enough
because there was way too much camera shake in some shots.
Do we really need to have camera shake to make action look like action?
Are the effects so bad that they need to get hidden behind motion blur?

Are you really a roboticist?
What do you see here which looks like a robot? I see RC cars, and you?
