Can you use encrypted swap in Windows yet? Maybe. I just learned today that BitLocker, which I don't have apparently, encrypts a whole partition, which would be everything but the windows equivalent of your "/boot." I could be mistaken, but I imagine this would encrypt your swap. You need either Vista Premium or a server edition for this feature.
Sorry to reply twice. I actually think a better solution would be to encrypt the folders on Windows where personal data is stored. Of course not all versions of windows support this, but if you're on one that doesn't you're going to want to upgrade to a more secure version anyways.
Can't believe no one has said this yet. Make a system where you can't steal someone's money via purely online transactions (credit cards aside, fraud protections still remain for those).
You can still transfer money via some system that's actually authenticated like ACH or to your own accounts with the same bank. There's really nothing you need to be able to do with just a user name and password that can be exploited by a thief.
Anecdote: Bank of America allowed someone to log onto my account and sign me up for "bill" pay, then write himself a check for the contents of the account, all in one session. I told them first of all to never ever let anyone use bill pay on my account again and then I took nearly all of my money out of the bank ASAP.
Oh BTW bill pay is just a fancy way of letting anyone with your password write a check to anyone on the planet and have BofA mail it for him. It is enabled by a click through online.
B of A has a new thing however called SafePass that will require you to enter a temporary code received via text message before you can do things like transfer money or bill pay. I highly recommend you enable this if you bank there.
So valuable information isn't sitting on his windows partition -- not 100% perfect as a trojan could in theory mount his linux partition in windows or just read the device directly if it has admin priveleges, but it will foil the most common attacks against windows.
He was estimating a worst case scenario. The reality for Apple is that it can't possibly cost more than a few cents. They're in no way going to pay Amazon to host their junk, pay retail for bandwidth, retail for hardware, or sell FLACs. Well they could do the last but they don't currently.
The GP's method is like trying to calculate what it costs Wal-Mart to sell a DVD based on how much it would cost you in gas to drive it to Bentonville.
That's where terrorists get their money. And/or drugs depending on which terrorists we're talking about. Why in the hell would you sell pirated CDs for a profit of what a dollar per disc when you can just a) wait for a rich sympathizer to give you money or b) run protection for a drug trafficker for untold millions.
In other news Timothy McVeigh sold bumper stickers and so the Feds have launched a task force to crack down on bumper sticker trademark slogan piracy.
I've done the same. It's worth noting, however, that they do not feel you should be able to listen to what you pay for, and if they catch you downloading they will still sue your ass and probably win because you are not granted a right to distribute which on say, bittorrent, you are doing. I've come to the conclusion therefore that you should just pirate the songs and give money to the poor. For extra points make the donation on behalf of the artist, as many charities will allow you to do. Or you can just buy CDs.
Well if you want to be pedantic, all any of them do is show various shades of red, green, and blue right next to each other. It's very easy to see; just get very close to your computer screen.
He was old... and shorter.. and balding.. and... wealthy.. and retired... and had a 100 acre ranch.. and a F250.. and horses... Only in Texas does the rich guy in town drive an F250 and a horse.
Any raytracing hardware is going to end up looking more like a GPU than a CPU in any case. Applying a whole x86 core to such a simple task would be way, way overkill. It would be more efficient, read cheaper, to have dedicated hardware with many smaller processing units, like the Cell SPEs or the pixel pushers in your ordinary GPU.
I can do better than that. I had to go through that process on my *laptop*. The reason: I upgraded driver from a generic one to vendor specific. This is on a laptop that has a TPM chip that could very easily be used to provide a nearly unforgeable signature, the support for which is touted as one of the key new features in Vista. Not only is that code clearly retarded, Microsoft seems to be putting the burden on *us* to prove that we aren't pirating.
Aero runs fine on Intel 945GM (integrated) graphics. It's not the cheap chipsets selling now that have problems it's the cheap chipsets they used to sell.
I don't care whether Bush knew he was wrong or not in the run up to the Iraq war. When you demonstrate that level of negligence presenting evidence to congress, we have to assume that you're lying. It's a sound legal principle that works fine in all kinds of cases from environmental disasters to financial meltdowns.
I can't get what you're saying here. The Palestinians are no more of a race than the Jews are. Palestinians are Arabs, and the Jews come from many different races. The newcomers to that region, both Arab and Jew aren't invaders, they're immigrants.
If they only pulled people for going, say, 20mph over the "normal" speed on the road would be 19mph over the limit instead of 8-10 now like it is in many places. That's pretty unsafe.
So basically speeding is reckless driving. The fines are the only way to remind people. I agree that first time fines could be reduced significantly. 40 bucks once or twice has gotten me to stop parking 3 hours in a 90min spot. I say start there and double or triple it every time you get caught. The habitual speeders will soon be paying out the ass, and the more normal ones of us won't get gouged for not realizing we're in a school zone.
Actually they consume about the same as an equivalent sized CRT, which is a lot. Of course, I don't think I've ever seen a 55" CRT so in practice they will consume more.

Competent AP CS teachers are hard to find. Most people who take the college level courses that teach that stuff don't go into teaching.
Will it feature Sting? Will Baron Harkonnen be able to fly?

I'm pretty sure all computers are good at is working with large amounts of data.

Puerto Rico is a United States territory. It's just not a state.
And I'm 0 for 1, 3 hours later.
You're doing it wrong.

No it's because the Israeli's preferred method of arresting people is shooting a missile in their general direction that there is collateral damage.
On the other hand, the Palestinians favored methods of terror are lobbing bombs into cities and blowing themselves up in markets.
You could argue that there's a difference in intent, but you can't argue they they aren't both inviting civilian deaths.
Yeah but if somebody with more money than you dislikes your website, all that reliability isn't going to help much.
