Where does your energy come from? Looking at http://www.coolnurse.com/calories_burned.htm, and extrapolating to 300 lbs, you would burn 612 calories walking briskly (15 min/mile) for 60 minutes. Beyond that, 1750 calories is a starvation diet at your weight. Are you metabolizing your muscle mass? I'm sure you talked this over with your specialist, but your post made me curious...
It's been said elsewhere in this thread, but malware doesn't need root to join a botnet, send spam, perform DoS attacks, record and forward your private emails and credit card numbers, etc. It also doesn't root to infect other FLAC files on your system.
And if it does need root for some reason, there are a number of privilege escalation bugs in Linux (off the top of my head, look at past vulnerabilities in the setitimer syscall). Or, the malware could just read your root password as you type it in. That's called a "blended threat".
I think the larger problem here is every application using the same library to parse FLAC files. The gzip library is the same way, used everywhere by so many products. Monoculture is a serious weakness in information security.
Having two versions of the same program is silly. If they want to compile their own version of foobar, they should always remove the one installed by their package manager first. If they don't do that, well, I suppose there are worse ways to hose your system. Overwriting something in/usr/bin would be one of them, because when the time comes for your package manager to update that package, you'll have an inconsistent mess on your filesystem.
What you do is don't specify the path. Tell the person to run "foobar". If their shell is setup correctly, the program will run.
The Linux/UNIX world is perfectly happy with this setup. But we must all be insane, it couldn't just be you lacking understanding.
It makes perfect sense. Your package manager installs binaries in/usr/bin and/usr/lib. You don't want to write to those directories yourself so you don't conflict with the package manager. Binaries you compile yourself go in an alternate set of directories,/usr/local/bin and/usr/local/lib.
60 seconds is actually a pretty long time for the train to stop. It's rapid transit! I think the LRT doors are open at each stop for 20 seconds in my city, but that's with stops every 2 km or less.
An LRT vehicle is only going to be going 100 kph on dedicated track in the suburbs. An average of 40 kph is pretty reasonable running on the street in a city, which is where these cars are going to be used.
In a city, taking the expensive and unsightly overhead wire out of the picture is especially important. New streetcars/trams like this are a good thing for cities.
I don't care about this either way, but here's an explanation for you:
It's impolite, just like picking his nose is impolite even though it doesn't detract from his message. Dressing appropriately is so easy to do, people are going to assume that if you don't, you're disrespecting them. He's not some kid with little control over his wardrobe, he's an adult dressing in the laziest way possible.
I always liked Vera Sans Mono but it was missing some unicode characters (for example, the hyphens that show up at the end of a line in man pages). So long as you use ClearType, DejaVu Sans Mono is the perfect monospace terminal font.
IMO, Lucida Console still looks better with no antialiasing (but only at 10-point and above! Why do 0 and O look the same in Lucida console 9-point???)
The Promise SATA 300 TX4 is a PCI SATA2 controller with 4 ports. But like you said, it's $80 (in the store down the street. Probably cheaper online).
BTW don't use this card in Linux. The drives are ordered backwards (so forget about booting with it), and the performance sucks. Seems fine in Windows.
3. Be very conservative with immunizations. How many middle class US children are really going to get exposed to Hep? And since thermerisol has finally been removed from vaccination products, the autism rate has finally stopped exploding (despite the fact that studies show no link between the two).
You're confused. Vaccinate your children! The only reason these infectious diseases aren't a threat to your kid is that everyone else was vaccinated at one point. Vaccinations actually strengthen the immune system.
Here's a FAQ: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/im/vs-sv/vs-faq_e.html
But just to reinforce your point, I'll add 7. Don't slather on the antibiotic ointment when you get a paper cut. Don't use Lysol in your kitchen - use a bleach solution if soap is not going to cut it.
That's not likely. Either you have a hardware firewall of some kind (home router?), or you disabled all the Windows DCOM and SMB services. There is a long history of exploitable bugs in these services, and lots of infected machines out there sending attacks on TCP port 135, 139, 445, etc. Sometimes you have to wait weeks or months for Microsoft to release a security update, so a firewall is really your only protection.
Haha, oh yeah? How well are those youtube videos playing? How's the contrast ratio and viewing angle on that 7-year-old LCD? How much use are you getting out of those USB1.0 ports?
For videoconferencing it's great. 4 channel ISDN = 256 kbps in each direction, which is fine for a single video/audio stream. You don't have to worry about congestion or security (NAT, firewalls, logins, passwords, all that stuff). Your connection is point-to-point, not through the internet. Just dial the number and wait for the other side to pick up.
But you're right, there aren't many people using ISDN to connect to an ISP, especially in the home.
Of course my coding style is to make a loose plan, start doing it and seeing what errors come up, revise the plan, make changes and keep coding, respond to errors again, and so on, forever, so that you end up with something that really works and responds to required changes over time. That's how I think government should be. We have to much red tape though - the government just isn't that objective and responsive.
That's pretty much the history of law in a nutshell. We have large, complex governments because all the social and economic problems that have crept up over time. Libertarianism/laissez-faire was a starting point, and we got where we are improving upon that. From my perspective, government regulations for labour were an improvement. Environmental protections were an improvement. Anti-discrimination laws were unfortunately necessary. Building and fire codes are good. Seeing what private media has become, I'm a fan of public broadcasting (CBC). On the other hand, some government subsidies with well-intentioned roots are out of control - crop subsidies for big agribusiness, subsidies for airlines.
It's not perfect, but I'm happy with something close to the status quo myself (disclaimer: I'm in Canada).
The Opteron HE is AMD's best processor in terms of performance per watt for a given rack or blade unit. Sure, you could theoretically run a server farm of Intel Centrinos, but you would get far less computing speed overall, and a modest savings in power.
We all know that in the end you make your own choices about eating habits/exercise, but the study sheds some light on the effects of social situations and peers on your choices.
This is psychology, which effects all of us. And they did do a scientific study. Why would someone make a bad choice? There are more interesting answers than the standard, intellectually lazy "it's their own damn fault. period.".
Sorry, I'm an idiot. CableCARD 2.0 will be two-way. MCards are just CableCARDs that can decode multiple channels simultaneously, which is why you only need one with this Tivo.
Wrong. Laser turntables have to spin the record and follow the grooves, producing sound in real-time. This process takes a complete image of the record/cylinder, and processes the image into audio. Since there's no need to spin the record, you can recover sound from records broken in pieces, heavily warped records, etc.
No, it's sugar. American coca cola tastes different (worse, IMO). Coke from western Canada: Water, Sugar/Glucose-Fructose, Caramel Colour, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavour, Caffeine. I had some in Vegas and it definitely had corn syrup listed on the bottle, and the flavour was not the same.
Outlook doesn't minimize when you click on its taskbar button, and doesn't minimize when you press Win+M. Office was always like that, though. For some reason Microsoft wants the current version of office to look like the next version of Windows, even if your version of Windows is ancient (for example, Office 97 in Windows 95 looked like Windows 98). All the UI widgets are custom and don't quite act how they're supposed to.

Linux has a nice share of the server market. Linux exploits are generally against server software.
On the desktop, yes, it has a miniscule market share.

The feature lacking from CableCARD that is addressed by MCard is two-way communication. MCard should support PPV, VOD, etc.
