I've seen a few php 'compilers' that do the same thing. They basically jam the executable and the script together in a self extractor, and let them sort themselves out... slowly.
So vote for representatives that write clearer laws that are less prone to interpretation. The Supreme Court only has the wiggle-room that they are given.

No, no, just like New Zealand is a part of Australia.
A better comparison would be the Mattel real-action play-pistol, which is merely a loaded magnum with a snap-of plastic guard preventing the trigger from any unauthorized access.
Then, somebody registers www.barbie-says-use-a-screwdriver-to-pop-that-thin g-off.com, and Mattel's lawyers accuse the registrant of the domain for enabling murder.
See also "strife", the best flamethrower done to my knowledge using the original doom engine. also syndicate, although that is a horse of a different color.
Hell, I once wrote a flamethrower using "dehacked" to modify the doom executible. Take your rocket launcher, switch it to barrel explosions and the flame that the resurrecting-demon's had... crank up the speed and yank out some animation frames. It was quite nice since Doom took into account missile speed and automatically ruined your accuracy... hold down the trigger and it would flame back and forth through the whole room.
Its been said and said again that Evil Dead IV will not be made, simply because the studios didn't make money on the last encounter, and are unlikely to make any profit on a further sequel.
However, have you considered doing a further sequel the old fashioned, low budget way? On, say, an Evil Dead I budget?
2 + 2 = 4 is only a fact if you take the pieces it is contructed out of as fact also. (Perhaps that there are such things as 2 and 4, and that there is such a process as addition, etc).
Eventually all math works down to a set of undefined precepts, which are closer to imagined than anything else. If you change these precepts, its possible to still have a consistent system (non-euclidian geometry, for instance).
I'm not too worried about this. An electronic fraud is something that can be reasonably gotten out of, its the *banks* fault if their system eats your money. (Admittedly, I haven't read the small print of my own bank, but hey, its not the article, anyway).
The big problem I have with my bank, however, is the location and layout of their ATM machines to begin with:
1) ATM's are built into the wall, rather than in any kind of nook. The line generally forms directly behind the user. (This isn't so much of a problem for e.g. drive through atms, as the bulk of the car is obscuring view of the transaction).
2) The buttons on the keypad are almost two inches across! I know they have to make them 'easy to use', and big happy buttons are important for that, I imagine... but having to move my entire hand around to enter the code makes it trivial to watch someone's movements...as opposed to normal sized buttons where what is being pushed is generally obscured by your hand itself.
3) This is a general problem. Cards are *inserted* rather than *swiped*, which makes it almost trivial for people to rig the machines to prevent the card from being returned. A card swipe, where the card never leaves my hand, would be infinitely preferred to leaving my bank card at the mercy of any hoodlum with a bottle of soap and a pair of pliers.
4) Apparently the ATM card I recieved is more than I asked for... it is also a credit card AND a debit card AND who knows what all else... if they acquire it they can run me down even if I don't have any money left in the account proper.
Outside of the demographic so well represented here at slashdot, who really needs that sort of speed? To send email, chat, and instant message people? (Excluding morpheus et al, but thats another can of worms).
We aren't in trouble until they realize that they don't really need a 2 Ghz P4 for their kid to write his dinosaur paper.
Now the counter is right again, which will of course make us all like like morons. Maybe its there to break peoples first post bots? (If numreplies 10, pretend like its too late) Of course, having 10-20 comments about "what is wrong with slashcode" is so much better than a few bits of noise...
Hey, it takes balls to apply changes to the 'production' server... if I were them, I'd wait until the umpteen clone slash sites try it first and report all the bugs...
Hey... the last Vax I worked with was a hell of a machine. Not sure what p model you are referring too, but don't knock good hardware... not on slashdot, anyway.
We have that where I go to. Its a hardware card that hides on the floppy bus (and so it gets first dibs when the machine boots up). Going into the BIOS and removing A: from the boot order disables it.
The 10-15 minute problem has to do with the slow speeds that are inherent to the floppy, as far as any of us were able to tell.
Because the old bald guy they were talking to mentioned inches first. Being sober, Scotty was immediately able to adapt to this archaic unit by doing what he does best... making up some number to make him look smart while staving off the captain long enough to get his job done.

Does the better business bureau do anything in the world of the web, or have they kept to keeping the brick and mortar people in line?

Yeah, nobody can spare the 10 minutes linux --> windows conversion. At least nobody with the proper attention span to be teaching children.
Heh. *or*, you could get a job, so you are less likely hit by a dictionary attack...
This doesn't give them a whois entry to spam either.

Heh, it makes them sound like a pair of gay Romanian gymnasts on their first date.

Yes, but someday he will die. As much as this is quoted as a weakness of Linux, I think it deserves mention.

Heh, Damn shame Europa is jinxed though. The European currency market was doing so well before Arthur C Clarke came out with it.
