"Stripping every branch from an ornamental cherry tree on public land." to paraphrase a bit.
How many hundreds or even thousands of pounds of damage would this cause? Would you be more outraged if they had spraypainted your car, fixable in a few days for a few pounds, than destroying a tree that took many years to grow, and is only replaceable by purchasing a mature tree, hiring a crew and excavation equipment, and having it attended to until it is established?
I was more upset about the tree in front of my house than the damaged car. I need to get new cars every few years, but I expected that tree to outlive me. Oh well, plant another just seedling and wait for some asshole to rip it down again. You might have had a bit of shade in a few more years, but go ahead and sweat.
Lose the DNA, and charge their parents for a replacement tree. Let's see who is outraged then.
Hacking a NASA system hasn't been newsworthy since CCC did it in the mid 80's. It's easier now than it has ever been, you can google for exploitable php site:nasa.gov. They have so many systems you are bound to find one anytime you look.
Thanks. I figured it out myself before your post, but others might be helped. OBVIOUSLY the setting to RECORD SETTINGS starts with a trip to VOLUME CONTROL.;)
Excellent comment. BUT, TheMohel, I hope you are not actually a mohel. Ritual genital mutilation based on ancient superstitions is not what I want from someone who practices the medical sciences.
This guy had to fake data to get grants, which I assume means he had to make his data look like what the grantors expected. So if I do an experiment that shows post-menopausal weight gain is inevitable regardless of diet, exercise, or medication, I can expect to not ever get any more money from the feds, because I bear bad news? That's just hypothetical, btw. afaik older women have a bmi to die for.
What does being a succesful grant writer entail? Interesting problems or past happy results?
Your solution to your problem is the domain of a System Analyst, someone who figured out what output was required and figured out a path to get there from the data available. You are not looking for a tool, you are looking for a method.
The mainframe world was lousy with system analysts, who told programmers what to do. Do they still exist?
Thanks. I started a thread about the audio quality and got modded redundant. I may even have posted first, but hey, it's slashdot, the chinatown of cyberspace.
How's BadKitty doing? Hacker Jeopardy is just not the same without her.
This must mean I'm not stupid OR crazy. Now, why are there so many posts telling me to get out of the basement or return my computer to the store? I'm guessing those experts did not take the particular steps we did, so we must be wrong. But we're not.
They're encrypted if you set them to be under properties > general > advanced. The only (official) way to copy them out is to log onto that drive as the user who owns them.
I have karma to burn, too, so I'll try to remember. Maybe I'll trash a system later to be sure.:)
I think the most obvious thing is the recycle bin, since anything on either drive ends up in the same magic recycle bin. This shouldn't normally be a problem, unless you had a bigger %-sized bin on the second drive with something you wanted to restore, and the settings were at default (use one setting for all drives). In any case, this is evidence Windows DOES spread the magic (I swear it was called that in the original tweakui) in certain cases. I believe I tried to move D: "My Documents" to c: "My Documents" and got infinitely nested folders. Yes, it's coming back to me now (shudder). This was in WIN98 I think, I had to boot to a command shell (off a floppy? maybe, shouldn't have had to.) and get to the top mydocu~1 folder, attrib the contents -s -h -a -r and delete the phony mydocu~1 folder (I think I looked for a way to kill the magic unsuccesfully.
Maybe this kind of thing doesn't happen under XP, but it NEVER happens if you just share C: and copy across the network. Better yet, share a folder called/incoming/ on the target, and if you have multiple accounts on the old pc log onto each one and copy it's data into/incoming/user1, etc.
I had some similar things happen with OS/2 2.0, but that was more than 10 years ago, and no one cares anymore.
Someone mod me up for excessive typing, my RSI is killing me.

Use a rock tumbler. Tumble clean sand with smooth rocks higher on the Mohs scale. Separate the nano silica by settling in water.

I nominate this for the "Slashdot tasteless post of the year 2006" award.
It's competing in a tough field. Plus, the year is barely half over.
You must be new here.

You got the quote wrong. I find that very amusing.
one can use the Sound Recorder applet that ships with Windows to record anything coming off the system-wide Wave Out device
How?
We'll see how it goes when you start carrying ipods in your sporrans. Maybe you can get tartan earphones.
Fortunately, no one would steal bagpipes.

Wait, you don't care for MySpace, but you want to read comments about it? Why?
Enough with the backslash, we know how to read at +4 already.
That's an average of 5kW? Times 24 hours times 365 days times .04 dollars/kW ==
$1752!
Thanks' I'll just ride my bike.
Even if someone has access to your SMS messages (good luck) they still don't know your username.
Not even the NSA could figure out how to crack this scheme!
You haven't read my sig, obviously.
They are idiots if they think that flute will go for $1k.
I will bet the price will be closer to $25k.
We can expect you to be accurate, though. Maybe that's asking too much?

I pulled the text of the Judge's Opinion off Lexis-Nexis...
Oh, no, not you too! uh... do you have any nude pics of Paris Hilton?
I keed, I keed!
Thanks for the legally obtained info. You saved me whatever L-N would have charged me to find that.
If she hadn't talked to the feds at all, she wouldn't even have been charged. That pesky 5th amendment...
