Furthermore, the natural general principle that will subsume this case is not quite equivalent to problems of phonemic and morphological analysis. Suppose, for instance, that a descriptively adequate grammar delimits the traditional practice of grammarians. For any transformation which is sufficiently diversified in application to be of any interest, this selectionally introduced contextual feature raises serious doubts about an abstract underlying order.
Note that the descriptive power of the base component is, apparently, determined by a parasitic gap construction. On our assumptions, the natural general principle that will subsume this case is not subject to the levels of acceptability from fairly high (eg (99a)) to virtual gibberish (eg (98d)). Presumably, relational information is not quite equivalent to an important distinction in language use.
This suggests that the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial cannot be arbitrary in problems of phonemic and morphological analysis. We will bring evidence in favor of the following thesis: this selectionally introduced contextual feature may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. On our assumptions, the notion of level of grammaticalness delimits an abstract underlying order.
The file, wmplibrary_v_0_12.db, contains in cleartext the name of every movie you've ever watched with media player. The names are in cleartext but each byte is spaced out with a pad byte, so you can't just grep for the names you're looking for.
If you delete the file, WMP regenerates it on use.
But, if you create the file as a zero-byte file, WMP does not fix it and does not store any information about what WMP is playing, ripping, burning, etc.
Tested Today, 2/21/02, with Windows 2000 and WMP 7.1. Oh, they didn't mention it's not just XP? It's not just XP.

I'm guessing you meant flame warriors, or trolls, or something. Maybe you really meant to call everyone who reads Slashdot gay, but I'm guessing you didn't (though maybe... nevermind). The gay population of Slashdot isn't really interested in this story as it just means one less (rich) prospect. As far as the flame warriors and trolls go, they've had four years to make fun of Rob, so he's probably used to it.
See, it wouldn't be Slashdot if someone didn't post to correct you.
Reality Master 101, Congratulations. You have posted to Slashdot 1700 times. If you had created your account the day Slashdot opened (you didn't) and posted one comment every single day of your life since then, you wouldn't even be close to 1700 posts. Truly, you've been a busy boy. If you spent five minutes apiece writing whatever it is you write, that would mean you've spent over 140 hours composing Slashdot comments. I'll assume you're a young man, and offer you a question:
When you're lying in your deathbed, dying of cancer, are you going to look back on those 140 man-hours of staring into a computer monitor shooting off your mouth like a complete asshole as time well spent?
That's some Reality I'd actually be interested in.
What is up with this game anyway? Let's all cast magic missle online for $10 a month! Fantastic!
If I understand correctly, there's far more to it than that. You can also take off all your clothes and run screaming through town in the dead of night with nothing but a lantern. Instead of being frowned upon, this kind of thing is a well accepted tradition in Britannia. Truly, it's a different world.
If your system comes with Telnet, and you're not a security expert, installing SSH costs time, which is money. Installing a free standards compliant SSH client on all your Windows boxes (does such a thing exist?) takes time, which is money. Using telnet to steal information requires a criminal to present false credentials (user/pass or some other hack) in order to break in and steal data.

Any business that allows its employees to telnet to anything, rather than at very least using SSH, deserves what it gets.
Any automobile owner who does not own LoJack (tm) in today's auto theft market deserves what they get. Car theft is completely ubiquitous today, with 1 out of every 15 Honda Accords being stolen. Only an IDIOT would fail to employ a third party keyless entry system and LoJack!
In short, I don't blame the criminal. I blame the victim.

Unless the thing supports IPSec, it would be 100% useless for business travelers
Last time I was at the IETF, in Pittsburgh, Marconi was running the show and gave everyone 802.11 cards. I plugged mine into my notebook and fired up my Ethernet sniffer, which collected approximately 700+ webmail username/password pairs, over 100 POP logins, a good littering of telnet logins, a bunch of tunneled CIFS logins, and other assorted good stuff. Enough to crack into a user account at a large portion of the represented telco R&D firms. What I learned at IETF that year: the telecommunications world was still too stupid to be allowed to own wireless ethernet.
That was the IETF. This is an airport. IPSEC? Nah. It's easier to jail the occasional teenager for "sniffing" than it is to actually fix the problem.

Sorry - but it's total crap. DVD's are software. They contain logic - menu systems, scene browsers, and most importantly, a nasty little piece of malicioius code called "region coding" which illegally allows the Motion Picture cartels to practice Predatory Price Discrimination against a worldwide customer base.
No, DVD's are software. Malicious software, in fact. They should be dealt with as such.
So, you basically give up real life to become a player in this game, which would eventually evolve to the point where you could buy a game (in the game) that would become your new life...
Ya, that was a great movie. Existenz, right? I admit that it's hard to get past that opening quote though: "Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as a computer programmer".
Ya, Medievia is based on Diku. I haven't been there in.. 3 years now? But back when I was there they were in the process of doing a token "rename" job on all of the famous map structures, monsters, etc. in the game that came from Diku. Pretty funny.
It's IP theft, plain and simple. They've tried to remove all Diku code by reverse engineering it from scratch, and after 10 years, they've nearly succeeded. Make of that what you will.
A redundant article, so I get to make a redundant post.
Selling virtual items in-game was pioneered by this text based MUD, which is financed entirely by sales of virtual items to players.
And since we're talking about "virtual addiction", take a look at their MUD Addiction Page. Now substitute the word "play" for the words "get high", and read it again. Scary, isn't it?
Here's a revenue model for you

Here's a text-based MUD in it's 12th (I think) year of development. They pioneered some stuff the corporate RPG's are just getting into, like dynamic map generation and a 100% user-governed economy (they've even halted inflation for 2 years. Ha!). It is 100% user funded. Their revenue model? They sell in-game items that can only be purchased. Some items are just very hard to obtain in the game; others can only be purchased by sending money to the game. These items can be used to attack and kill other players... Some of these items expire, others last forever.
What else could be funded by virtual item sales? I don't know. But I don't think it's limited to games.
No nagging on the install!

Not only did the installation process not give us the opportunity to add users other than root, it didn't even explain that we *should* add users other than root, didn't tell us that the account was root, and even tended to discourage us from entering the optional security password for root, because, "if you lose this password it cannot be recovered."
Excellent. It sounds like Lindows has taken Linux a giant leap towards the ease-of-use that modern desktop users demand. This might actually be competitive in the marketplace!
