If it doesn't meet your needs then you return the fuckin' thing. What good is it if it doesn't play on your computer? What if you watched it last week, and wanted to watch it again on an airplane trip, but didn't have the 'net connection to renew the 5-day licence? I mean fuck, if you've got the damn disc, what more licence should you really need?
If you like the movie that much, and can't play it in your hardware, than you should return it and tell everyone the trouble you went through trying to watch your favorite movie; by "everyone" I mean the director, the producers, the studio, the store, your congress person, state Attorny General, local & national newspapers, Maury Povich, literally everyone that may shed some attention on the issue. Like other posters have stated, the MPAA doesn't give a fuck if some slashdotter couldn't play a movie, but will change their ways if pressured -- economically or legally -- to.
Me: Yeah, so I've been MUDding a lot lately...
!Me: What's "mudding"?
Me: MUDs are... kinda like Everquest. But with out graphics; it's all text-based.
!Me: Why the hell are you playing that?
BTW, if I didn't know what a MUD is, do you think I would have made a game reference? Laugh, it's (not really) funny.
Probably do not even remember when people used to put words like "bomb" and "whitehouse" in their.sigs in a protest to the governemnt's automated filtering of electronic communications which is a direct violation of Amendment IV of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America:
You, sir, are a kook.
But a description of that behavior can be found here. Note that pre-Echelon, it was merely being assumed that 'net traffic was being monitored; it wasn't known to be, and I kind of doubt that including words like BOMB, C4, M16, BUTT LOVE, or KGB really made you a surveillance target. Forget about putting stupid shit in your sig, if you really want to foul up the would-be packet tappers than just start to encrypt everything.
Skin heals, so I couldn't care less... drive cables, however, don't. I had a SCSI tape drive that kept spitting out random errors, and the best I could track it to was a nicked control cable. And if you insisit on screaming "Bull shit!", the problem went away after swapping it out.
Except for the price... I just went over to PriceGrabber, and you can find Samsung 21" CRTs cheaper than that 17" LCD.
Personally, I'll trade real desktop for computer desktop any day: you can hang the ass-end of a CRT off of your desk, but you can't extend a spreadsheet pass the edge of your monitor:-)
Unfortunatly, most people's speech is unprotected. Personally, I always where a condom when talking... knowing that I'm protected just makes the entire event relaxing and fun, just like it should be.
That's a goofy place for it... I prefer to use Linux in my computer. I use my mouse on my desktop, and use other OS CDs as drink coasters, but using Linux on my desktop seems like a waste of a good distro CD.
Off the top of my head, I could figure out several tools useful in data forensics. Copy the original drive block-by-block to a new drive.
The original question stated "I don't mean using dd to make an image of a disk but rather a suite of tools whose purpose is to analyze data, indicate relationships, create hash tables, et cetera.". But you start off attcking the inquirer, demonstrate a use he specifically mentioned, and then answer his "suite of tools" question with "well, I guess you can whip something up with perl & grep".
No one is making anyone read slashdot... bitching about the quality of the posts is pointless AND counter-productive. You obviously don't have a unique perspective into computer forensics, so why don't you just step back and maybe learn something from an informed poster? And I'm not attacking just dasunt, but anyone who insists on bitching about the slashdot and it's content. And yes, I chose to post (off topic, but hopefully informative) instead of just moderating dasunt down.
Man, I've seen some annoying off-topic threads, but this one takes the cake.
North Jersey is as different from South Jersey as California is from the rest of the country. Fuck, people in South Jersey like to argue that they're below the Mason-Dixon line. So let's get over how your high school refered to Six Flags Great Adventure, OK? Locally either reference will work, nationally every one knows the name "Six Flags".
PSYCHOLOGY
Daniel Simons of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Christopher Chabris of Harvard University, for demonstrating that when people pay close attention to something, it's all too easy to overlook anything else -- even a man in a gorilla suit.
This is hardly original work... I think it was well established by Douglas Adams, though he refered to it as a "Somebody Else's Problem Field". If you're busy counting balls, the gorilla must be Somebody Else's Problem, and thus goes unnoticed by you. http://www.artpolitic.org/infopedia/se/SEP_field.h tml explains the concept nicely.
Who cares where it is? That movie sucked anyway. F' George, his stupid "prequals", and the "Really Truly Director's Vision Cut" of the original three that are coming out on DVD next Tuesday.
"Phantom Menace" my ass... more like "Meddeling Director Menace".

They (the TLA fed agency dujour) would probably use noclip, as I'm sure they are already using notarget and god mode.

Bullocks... that hole is way small for a cup. More like a shot glass holder...

But Irix is so damn pretty... Fuck, even the hardware it runs on looks good :-)
also in shell script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/httpd
/usr/libexec/ftpd
The whole point of a network is moving data... if the RIAA/MPAA had any sense, they'd be suing DARPA & Al Gore.
That's asinine.
Speed limits apply to all vehicles traveling on those roads, be it cars, motorcycles, or houses.
spell it with a "ph" and get the hip hop community involved!
That's only 'cause the first time seldom involves more than three steps...
Unfortunatly, most people's speech is unprotected. Personally, I always where a condom when talking... knowing that I'm protected just makes the entire event relaxing and fun, just like it should be.
What I want to know: what are these "small buildings" on the moon that they're looking at???
???

doh.
328,000 ft in miles
doh.
The same way the do it in Canada; I think it's "hang coin in mouth, have stripper collect coin with boobs". But it's been a while...

That's the funniest shit I've read here all hour.

Yeah, that's why I try not to buy books like this one over the internet... nor use my credit card / B&N "member" card when buying it in person.
Firefox has a DOM inspector & JavaScript console... the main reasons I used to use Mozilla when doing web development.
I only use Mozilla (and a 1.4RC at that) on the one machine I check my email on; every other computer I use, I run Firefox (or Phoenix (or Firebird)).
