Boss: It's a hardware solution to anti piracy. Me: Yeah, But how does it work? Boss: You put it in their computer. Me: Yeah, But how does it work?

It takes just as long to learn how to program one of those things (in my day it was the hp 48) than it does to simply upload the material to your brain using a little IO device called "studying."
Yeah, I don't know why we keep all of those pesky pre-contemporary books around either. Lets get rid of it all. It really bothers me that you would want to rewrite or erase history. Even if your site is just a blog or some crap like that. It tells us something about the mental state of those that came before us. Which can help us understand each other.
He who does not know about the dot com bubble is doomed to repeat it.
Buy a RedRat http://www.redrat.co.uk It's worth it I've been using one to switch channels before executing a vcr http://www.stack.nl/~brama/vcr/ command for a while now. In conjunction it works great.
And I used It to portscan FBI.gov, CIA.gov, etc. right before I bounce a root exploit off your "not a computer." Say "Hi" to the feds for me when they confiscate any thing that even looks like a computer in your house.
Security is ALWAYS important. A cracker doesn't need to compromise a complete computer to do damage. A router or game console will do.
I can't believe the lone gunman were actually alien boumty hunters. And who could have guessed that "Cancer Man" was really the father of Scully's love child.
They can only force it on you if you can get digital satellite service. Which pretty much means if your off planet. In which case what's on tv is probably the least of your problems.
How about instead of writing something from scratch, and open sourcing it; you find an existing OSS Project and extend it to do what your customer needs? There is a better chance it will be maintained when you are done with it, because it is already being maintained. If we all did this we would have a few enterprise level Apps that kick ass instead of a bazillion that are half written.
But please don't bother open sourcing anything if you (or no one else) plans to maintain it.
There are enough dead projects out there already. Don't add to the graveyard.
My current setup consisits of: 4 HP scanners with ADF ~$150 ea. (eBay) 4 Sparc LXs from a property contol auction $50 one flatbed scanner for covers and bad scans. $50 (eBay again) Barebones System/w scsi from Compgeeks $80
(NFS server), An Amtren Device(courtesy of the office) and away you go. I've found the best way to cut off the binders is to use a box cutter and to use your previous cuts as a guide. Several shell scripts to scan various types of books. It's amazing the page numbering schemes some publisers use. With this setup I can scan approximately 2-3 college textbooks 1000 pgs.(grayscale) or 1 color in an 10 hour period. (including checking for bad scans, sane ain't perfect, so you better check em) also jpg isn't very good for OCR, I store as png, and convert a second set to jpg for web viewing. OCR under linux isn't quite there yet (unless you want to pay through the nose) So I am Archiving the pngs to CD until it is. This also allows me to regenerate the jpgs if I lose a webserver disk. Add a nifty little IMageMagick web viewer and viola! eBookshelf! Oh and a NSM CD changer is nice too get to the CDs nearline.You can pick these up on ebay for $200-$400
Don't underestimate children, they are actually BETTER suited to learn Linux than most adults. My school had commodore 64s instead of apple IIes (Dating myself) The students adapted just fine.
You need to look closely at the clock on the spacepod as he travels through time. (we won't even get into why that makes no sense) But We started in 2029. Marky Mark Goes through a time-unstable LIFO wormhole and end up 400 years int the future at a distant world. Perecles Went in first so he came out last. The Mothership went in last so it came out first, crashed and the apes take over. Now to my point: If you look at the clock on Marky Mark's spacpod on the return trip, The last date you see is 21xx which means he is 100 years into OUR earth's future. This being the case, and assuming that the only genetically engineered apes in the universe were not on Marky's Mothership, would it not be conceiveable that the genetically engineered apes on earth could have a revolution as well? Could this be a anti-genetic manipulation theme. And Yes I realize I'm reaching. But my logic filters demand satisfaction.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I think the issue here is the use of cctvs to search my person, with no warrant having been issued.
PAM required all of the user IDs in/etc/PASSWORD, which means if you create a new user in LDAP (or AD) you will have to update your/etc/password files on all your boxen
Huh? since what version? I'm using LDAP pam w/o/etc/passwd entries.
Isn't it ironic that the "Death of Mir" coincides with diplomats being sent back to the Russia? This could lead to a heightened level of distrust between Russia and the US, if not a peace breakdown altogether. "Mir" is Russian for "Peace."
He must have been a buisness major. The whole article reaks of "Software is a product used to make money" Anyone who codes knows "Software is used to do stuff" If you take his premis to be true then the article makes sense. Why would these people develop software and then give it away. He just cannot Grasp the concept that someone might code the software that they need for themselves, the releaseit to the rest of us.

My Boss Pitched this same Idea to me.
Boss: It's a hardware solution to anti piracy.
Me: Yeah, But how does it work?
Boss: You put it in their computer.
Me: Yeah, But how does it work?
Boss: You get them to put it in by telling them it will make it more secure.
Me: Yeah, But how does it work?
Boss: At the Hardware Level.
Me: Yeah, But how does it work?
Boss: *Gets pissed off and mutters something about
me being an idiot for not understanding a simple idea.*
So it goes...
Post it on freenet and put the key in the newsgroups to get it rolling... Share the wealth.

This is shell script territory.

Wait, and then peruse at your leisure.

Hey, I'll give slashdot a buck for a few moderation points. Now That's a business model.
I think you need to take a look the Cybercrime Treaty again...
