The ZX Spectrum always had colour enabled -- that's why it was called the "Spectrum" -- it could display up to 15 colours (Blue, Red, Magenta, Green, Cyan, Yellow, White, Black & the "BRIGHT" versions of those -- Bright Black was the same as Dark Black).
I thought that was why the UK introduced the RIP act (http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/20000023.htm)? Could they just demand that the person comes up with the keys -- if they don't, hold them through the RIP act and brute-force them, if they do -- then they've either got evidence or the innocent person can go free?
It seems that they are just using this as an excuse to hold someone indefinately?
So to the over one hundred thousand innocent Iraqi people who have been murdered since the invasion, you are saying to them "no life is better than life under Saddam?"
Also the US is not a democracy, it is a republic. Each state can choose it's own form of government, and the president is chosen by a vote of the states, not the people.
That's what 'nice' is for! I run my emerge --update using nice, and this then allows the rest of the system to run normally, while updates operate on a low priority thread. This minimizes the affect on the box.
But that would be madness. That basically means that the UK government could take *any* file on your PC and demand that you decrypt it (even if it is already in cleartext), requiring you prove that it isn't just some fancy encryption algorithm that made the ciphertext look like a Word document, or a system library!
Some particularly malicious government official could potentially generate a keys that translated explorer.exe into child porn and use it as "evidence" against you!
Then when the government asks you for the key, you can provide k2, and provide them with only the 'y' part of the conversation? This could be any old document. It is up to the government to prove that k1 even exists?
Visa/Visitor rules are always mutual -- Americans can come over here without a visa, therefore we can go to you without a visa (the 90 day waiver applies). Similarly, Brazilians are required to be subject to fingerprinting/photographing when entering the US, therefore it is only fair that Americans are subject to fingerprinting/photographing when entering Brazil. Otherwise the whole point of "mutual agreements" doesn't apply.
Microsoft have already said before that when XP is EOL'ed, they would release a Service Pack that would disable Product-Activation. I don't have the link off-hand, but they won't stop you installing out-of-date editions of Windows.
Actually, if you do HashMap without pointy brackets, you'll get a warning from the compiler about not using checks, so you'd have to use something like Map<Object, Object> m = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
You get a warning: test.java:8: warning: [unchecked] unchecked call to add(E) as a member of the raw type java.util.ArrayList

They are putting the prices up because they told the BPI that they would purchase the CD's inside the EEA (European Economic Area), rather than from Hong Kong, and that costs more. Their argument all along was "ownership changes hands in Hong Kong," which was argued against saying using cdwow.ie and cdwow.co.uk showed they were deliberately targeting Irish/British people. My solution to this would be simply set redirects on those to the site cdwow.com.hk, and then show look we're just an international Hong Kong business?

But you have to think relative. Relative to the speed of the space station, a piece of space junk "almost" in the same orbit as ISS is going "almost" the same speed as the ISS (unless one is being propelled by something). That's why it can just rub against the station without actually causing any damage.
It says any 'OS PRODUCT' -- and then lists a pile of Microsoft OS's, however, it says 'including, without limitation'...so I have a licence to use Linux as my 'OS PRODUCT' -- therefore I can use it, right?
No they won't. a Kettle lead will fit a PC, but not the other way around (there's a ridge on the top of the kettle lead that the PC lead doesn't have). Also, I doubt that your PC would have a 13Amp fuse in it...
The thing I don't like about US money (speaking as a foreigner) is the fact that from feel and cursory glance every note is the same. You have to actually read the notes to know which one is which. How does a blind person handle money in the US? With the euro, every note is a different size and colour, and some of the notes have a different texture (the EUR5 and EUR10 is made from different material to the higher denominations.). It's very difficult to mix up a EUR5 and a EUR50 here, but the US$5/US$50 (from the corner) has a single digit missing...and memorizing dead presidents heads doesn't sound like a fun task! So at least you're getting one step in the right direction with coloured corners!
Yes they do, at least if you get the Pay-As-You-Go options. If you get the Contract phone options you get a SIM-Free phone, but the Prepaid phones are generally locked (they'll send you an unlock code if you ask for it and put a big chunk of credit on the phone).
But if you can imagine a difference in between (150, 150, 150) & (151, 151, 151) then there is still room for improvement in the graphics cards -- as this indicates that there isn't enough room in the greyscale world (indeed, with only 256 shades of grey, there is certainly scope to improve!)
In the exact same way that all the gun manufacturers do aid murderers, armed robberies, etc, Jon's code aids movie pirates. However, you don't see many Americans harping off about banning guns, do you? It's really the same thing. It's not what you have, it's what you can do with it that's important. Why waste the resources chasing after someone who simply wanted to watch his films that he paid for with hardware that he paid for, when those same resources could much better be used on those selling the shoddy films down at the local market!
Well what about tcsh 'watch'? It tells me when a particular person logs onto the system as soon as they do? That's what I usually use to know when a person shows up...
For me it is mostly Internet Explorer that I need due to poor standards - for example, I need to log into NTLM authenticated websites, which mozilla & konq just blow a gasket at, and our time management program uses some extensive ActiveX components so that non IE browsers get a blank screen (if I force the browser string to emulate IE).
I have official ISO's here right now - and am running it at home. I ordered it through suse.co.uk a couple of weeks ago, and it arrived on Monday evening (8.0 Pro. Update).
Great idea...until you run out of PCI slots - this board only has Three! So I replace the sound card with a SoundBlaster Audigy, drop in a SCSI card so that my ZIP drive will work. If I needed to replace both the Firewire and Ethernet for whatever reason I'm SOL. My m/b at home has a few features like onboard sound, but I disabled them, and live off the 6 PCI slots that it has instead. Flexibility is definately a good thing!

Presumably, it is possible to have an encryption algorithm such that :
encrypt(x,y,k1,k2) = z;
decrypt(z,k1) = x;
decrypt(z,k2) = y;
Then when the government asks you for the key, you can provide k2, and provide them with only the 'y' part of the conversation? This could be any old document. It is up to the government to prove that k1 even exists?
Just a thought...
