Are you a teacher? Ask any teacher (Certainly in the UK & Ireland) about what it is like teaching these days. It is getting to the point where teachers have *zero* recourse to disapline a child. Due to stories like this one, senior staff are afraid to back up teachers when it comes to detention, suspention & expulsion. Many kids lose out because the teacher has no way left to deal with the disruptive elements.
A little O/T, but are there any Irish HAM users reading this? I'm in Ireland for a while & currenly have the time & money to get into the hobby, something I've been meaning to do for ages, but can't find anything out about the license requirements...
But when you buy a car and it breaks, you can take it down to your nearest garage and get parts replaced, tuning done etc etc
As the previous poster said, shops (ie skilled people) used to be able to fix software problems / conflicts, like garages can still fix cars... sure they can't fix every problem, but some problems are akin to having a flat tire; and you shouldn't need to go back to the company that made your car (Not just the dealer, the original factory) just to get a tire changed...
It was a total eclipse of the sun....

You can use the 'what' command on digital unix to find out cvs versions of files if the author put a #pragma line in... is something like this supported under gcc/linux?
I looked at a prototype of this style security system, but it took maybe 3 minutes to break it... namely pick up the pc, move it to the other side of a partition where someone is sitting, and hey presto! I'm logged in as them.
How do you solve that one? One idea was to have the ID in a ring so that it only picks you up when your hands go within ~20cm of the keyboard... with a suitable hystresis and a fast enough log in, this could work...
Doing this has legal impecations if you update the database while there is a customer trasaction underway - the price the user ends up paying is not the one they agreed to...
So I guess you'd need the either send item code & the price and validate the price against a history list for the item code, or else generate a new product code whenever the item price gets changed...
I tend to find that the quality of comments / descriptions / keywords on freshmeat varies widely. While freshmeat is an excellent resource, a more formal, rigorous standard for describing code would, I think, improve things even further.
Also, freshmeat deals mainly (almost entirely?) with *nix code, particularly linux. Some of us have to code for windows too, and a cross-platform search method would be *really* handy...

Is that illegal?

Replies here or by mail, cheers

Blood! Must be blood!.....
Anyone worried yet?
Yeah, but doesn't this get given back when the fan/wheel/etc stops spinning again? (I am not a phyisist, this is a serious question...)

Now go rip the same cd twice & diff the wavs... it is *very* unusual to get the same result twice...
(Not that the difference if audible, but many people can't tell the difference between cd & mp3 on chead to mid-priced equipment anyway...)
Erm, listening to cellphones, or even selling an scanner capable of doing so IS illegal in the US...
At what point does decoding (eg a radio reciever decodes) become decrypting?
I disagree completely with this analogy.
If someone throws bricks through your window, have you stolen their bricks?
Errm, in the UK certainly, TV licence.
US & UK cellular phones
Any military traffic (In the UK certainly, dunno about the states)
