My guess is that the US Army may be looking, they seem to be throwing money at recruiting. They've gone in with EA, not unreasonable to think that they may be quick to snap it up. If they arn't already negotiating, I wouldn't in the least be supprised to hear of it later. As I said, they're seem recruit happy, why not recruit iD?
ROLF Yes, I get the dig, I wanted to use an example that would show how if you named your files like most people do, "Artist - Album - Track - Name.mp3" it would get bungled up.
To date my player's display has never been so defaced.
Two or three songs that I'm partial to, ONE and only ONE that I actually really really like. Not bad for two decades millions of dollars later.
No, it's a CD player, not a mididisc set up, I tossed out their burining software, nero on windows or cdrecord on {*BSD,*IX} will do the trick.
It does MP3, but they try to trick you into ripping to ATRAC so they can lock you in, typical behavior for a record company.
If I was new to computers, (Think: MY DAD), I'd use ATRAC and their stupid burning software, which I can ignore, but I don't like that they do it, I'd rather get a CDDA/MP3 Player that does just that, but everyone thinks WMA would be nice or once apon a time even Real of all things.
Most of all I don't like the idea of paying for that kind of usless junk, but I won this player in a hospital fundraiser lottery, so yay! If it was on my own dime, I'd think twice... I think it's probably inevitable, some other brand will be simillarly bundled with WMA sotware or whatever.
It used to be that you got what you paid for and paid for what you got.
In a perfect world, you would get a player that does CDDA, FLAC, APE, MusePack, MP3, Ogg and nothing else.
Did I mention it does multi-session like a charm, that way all my scuffed up old 4x cdrw dics can stay on the shelf, I can burn a CDR up to 200 MB and go back to it later to fill the rest up.
Best feature, The Jog-Dial, I love that nobby thing, I dont know if other players have it, I'd figure they would, but it makes selecting an album or track so simple any idiot could ask me to do it for them.
I have a Sony CD Walkman D-NE510 here in my hand, it works well, plop your mp3s on a cd in a folder all to themselves, stick it in, and close the lid.
Some notes: It will play on a pair of NiCD AA batteries seemingly forever, the advertised battery life is 18hrs playing MP3s, so I guess thats good enough.
Problems: 1. I've noticed skipping when playing VBR mp3s on batteries... I think the player is VBR agnostic, so it runs out of frames to play and haves to spin up the disc out of powersave to get more the track, if this bothers you, don't do VBR or something I guess.
2. Like I said, battery life is awesome, but not in -30 something degrees weather, like we had here a few weeks back, I had to do the public transportation thing, and it dropped out a few times, I had to press stop, play, stop, open the lid, close the lid, whatever to get it to work, and this meant taking off my gloves, which sucks because it's freaking cold!
Also, I must be spoilded, because I want a backlight! How can I see what track I've selected when I live in eternal darkness heh.
Good stuff:
The battery life, like I said, and those batteries are two AA's, not something wierd like a lithium ion sealed inside the case or 3 AAA's burining a hole in my wallet, because I only have AA rechargables, and throw away batteries cost less to buy, but more to use.
Damn near impossible to make it skip, you can shake it, drop it, whatever, of course I've been gentle to it, but it's nice.
Quick tip:
Name your files like this:
AlbumFolder/01Title of Song.mp3
It'l show up as 01Title or 02ABCDE, you get 7 characters in folder display, so if they all look like "08 U2 -" then that would kind of suck. It shows scroling tag info, Title, Album, Artist, Track #, Bitrate, Time played, press the display button to rotate through them.
Good lick picking your player, I really do like this player, two flaws ain't half bad.
The ATRAC support may also be a flaw, since I don't give a damn about SONY's propritary crap, but it isn't a flaw, because you don't have to use it, MP3s work just fine.
I recharge the batteries about once every two or three weeks, not bad.
When I'm not lazy, I plug it in to an ac adapter, it didn't come with one, but It's 4.5 Volts, and you can get the correct head to stick on one of those multi voltage A/C adapters from rat shack.
I'd actually like to see this, ext2 is all you get with 2.0 reiserfs has been backported to 2.2 but the fs code in 2.0 is quite different from 2.2 I'm also kinda sad to see that nubus-ppc support is again absent from the new linus tree. Given that reiserfs was itself backported to 2.2 a 2.0 backport seems unlikely, but DM would be the guy to do it:) Keep up the good work

I have an NEC Multisync 2A upstairs, and a Tandy VGM-340 (a tandy sensation origional) sitting next to me, I think they should count. Says March 1993, I'll get a new (or new to me) monitor if and when it gives up the ghost. They've outlasted newer, so I'm happy to uses what works well.

The CN Tower opened in 1976. It is the world's tallest building and freestanding structure tower, at 1,815 feet (553 metres), it reaches more than one third of a mile into the clouds. The seven-story sky-pod features indoor and outdoor Observation Decks that include EcoDek, a new interactive environmental attraction opened in December 1994, the world's highest glass floor, at 1,122 feet (342 metres), Horizons, the world's highest bar, and 360, the world's highest 400-seat revolving restaurant. In addition, for those who want to go even higher, we have our space deck, at an altitude of 1,465 feet (447 metres). It is the world's highest public observation gallery in the world.
I always ssh to 192.168.1.13, which works just fine, and I don't use proxies, the larger concern is that an important, but a vestigal service got hijacked, namely dhcp.
Don't wait around for law enforcement. When someone lift's your wallet, whom do you call? VISA or the FBI?. Perhaps you need to learn from this hijack, don't go nuts, screaming rape... Fix it!, put in static IP's, don't use a proxy unless you control it, after all, your ISP could be lookin' at your passwords, and cookies etc. Use SSL and SSH, and know what's going on. When something goes boom, fix it.
I actually set the clock in my linux box by typing in the date and time, with.00 at the end and listening at 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHz for that wonderous WWV or WWVH "Bwaaapppppp" tone.
I've found that a local radio station's uplink is puking on 20 MHz, so I have best luck with 5 and 15 depending on the hour.
Once I've got bash ready to whirr, and that tone comes across, I smash that enter key and concider the job done.
At the tone 9 house 45 Minutes Cooridnated Universal Time... poooiinnnnkkk!
How soon we forget that plastic money leaves a paper trail. Do you really think you can avoid this? Every month the credit card company sends out a bill to the customer. Infact every two or three years they send a whole new card, they just call a 1-800 number to activate the card. They swipe it at Safeway, at Sears, the Doughnut shop etc.
The wole premise of your problem is that you are trying to secure your end; this only works if your end is the target of an attack/exploit/whatever credit card fraud goes alot further, so, why not cease to log this stuff in a database and just print it out on paper, lock it up somewhere until it is needed again. This reduces the ability of a remote comprimise in the future.
Sure, it's less efficient, but the faults on your end, in real-time are fewer, an unscrupulous employee has just as much ability to commit fraud either way. But remote hacks have been reduced to MitM, and social-engeneering, which you should take to task at any rate.
Don't you think that an employee will be a bit more scrutinizing if he/she is asked to go down the hall to the filing room and dig up 40 odd transaction reccords. YES!
If it's just a matter of some kind of SSH vunerability, and looking up and down for private keys, you're dead. If it can happen, this is probably the most likely way.
Seiko has been selling it's Kenetic line for a few years, even coming up with the Auto-Relay line, supposidly keeping time for up to four years.
Seiko has the only Quartz watch of this kind, afaik.
However, self winding watches have been around for quite a while. Now, these watches don't run off body heat, sweat, brain waves or any else NASA might be thinking of, god knows. They work from adjustments in tilt, giving off enough power to build a reserve. Just getting out of the office chair and going for coffee, or off the couch and walking the dog, should be enough.

Probably Canada's most well known naturalist, increacingly critisied for being rather gloomy in his views of the future, but my most accounts, a great educator.
What strikes me well about the question of who will be remebered 50 years from now, at least in Canada, his work ranging from the CBC's Quirks and Quarks weekly science news radio program and currently the CBC weekly TV series, The Nature of Things will be strong in my memory for promoting interest in science and at times activism.
All things said, I hope his more predictive views will not come true in the next 50 years. But, I feel they are grounded in science and as such, his seeings may be extreemly shaping in how we come to deal with life 50 years from now.

Just yoink exim from inetd.conf
Then kill and init etc.
You can even get rid of discard, do a apt-get install nmap to finish the job.
Have fun.

Paramount has been playing all sorts of tricks with the UPN Voyager and Enterprise feeds at least since Mid to Late 1999, It's old news to me.
The interesting thing here is that the Enterprise Feeds sent to Canada, on Telstar 5 TP 16 for broadcast say on A-Channel don't have this
What we know is that this is lucurative, and people who can't compare the two will not know what it is that they are missing.
I suppose that these people will have to get a new name.
