Dear Sir or Madam,
I am interested in writing a USB Linux driver for my chameleon Mega 1.3 megapixel camera. How would may I obtain technical information for the USB interface? I would like to replicate the functionality of sp503app.exe under Linux. Thanks!
Maybe a subliminal technique (executed right when explicit and weirdly aberrated information triggers your opponent's unencrypting reader) can obscurely manipulate mental awareness, negating data.
"Uh, sir, XYZ."
"Oh, thanks."

My first job was at a grocery store. My second job was at a large international telecommunications company. If you can't get the job you'd like at your age, don't let it eat at you too much. As for the resumes, send many more, and follow up with phone calls. Resumes usually go to a big pile, and in my experience, have never caused an employer to contact me; they are only useful when being interviewed. If you don't need the money, and have the time, offer to work for free, just to learn and gain that mystical "work experience". Meanwhile, as long as you're unemployed, develop your favorite skill into expertise. Read up on it, practice it. Finally, think about starting your own small business. No matter how many "you will only work at McDonald's" rants people throw at you, if you're determined and enterprising enough, you can start a business at your age.
I hardly use NT or 2000. I'm surprised then that the sysadmins didn't install their patches sooner, if Windows is telling them "Hey! I'm vulnerable! Fix me!". Wow. Why did they wait so long?
The main problem the anti-worm tries to solve is the slow response by computer administrators. Microsoft fixed its problem, but had to resort to using the press to get the average user's attention. What Microsoft could do is have a built-in Windows feature that tells the user when they should there is a patch they need to install. Perhaps ClipIt could pop up with a link to a Microsoft download page. This would not force the user to install anything he doesn't want to install, and at the same time it would cater to M$ users who don't want to spend time keeping up with computer security. Though they're using the user's machine to tell them about the problem, the user agreed to this by agreeing to use Windows.
I noticed IE seems to do that. The page will load, and load, and approach completition, and suddenly a big white screen will tell you it could not be found to begin with.
Finagle's law dictates that the demo will fail, and at the worst possible time. The probability of the worst possible time occurring is is directly proportional to the number of people watching, raised to the number of cheats and hacks to make the demo look like it works.
It would be too complex; it's easier to play the ROM on a PC nowadays. I do prefer the original game to a remake of the game (Mario All-Stars). I dislike changes to the original, and All-Stars changed gravity settings, as well as some music. Another thing I'm disappointed in is the focus on 3D and special effects in games, as opposed to simple fun. It's sort of like a movie. Titan AE had all the eye candy in the world, but the plot sucked. Returning to the simplistic style of the early 90's would be a good thing.
Suppose there existed a two-stage virus that behaves as follows: In mode A, it would search for particular files, or files containing very particular data, such as eBook processor or Windoze source code (two purely hypothetical examples). If it did not find the file, it would spread in mode A. Otherwise, it would spread in mode B. In mode B it would carry the file, much as Sir Cam does, but it would perform no searches.
Would everyone that ran the mode B virus be prosecutable, even if they ran it accidentally?
I would substitue the subjunctive mood for less hypothetical verbs. For example:
This action HAS seriously impacted the US's ability to attract programmers. IF you write a program legally in your country, and your company sells it in the US, and you visit the US, the US will arrest YOU (the bad press must focus on an individual 'hacker', not on a company).
It's great to have speed, but it's even better if you actually have stuff you do that uses all of it; what's your favorite CPU-intensive activity? Decryption? Creating 3D movies? AI? Computing the entire Othello game tree? Playing hand-coded-assembly Pong at a blinding pace? Or has clock speed finally surpassed practical use?
That's why CMU is planning on building a campus in sunny California, far, far away from the dread evil grey eternal cloud cover that looms depressingly over its otherwise exciting robotics-clubbing, ethernet-chugging, Quake 3A-loving campus.
Don't worry. They probably have Code Red running on their machines, and their staff sending out SirCam's who bear away information on what they *really* use Echelon for (you didn't think it was used to spy on crooks or private citizens, now did you?)
Now, now, you must remember that Asimov wrote that psychohistory would only be effective at predicting the future of an entire galactic empire. For individuals, it would be much harder.
Because the information has been made public, it has likely become partially invalid as crackers change their tactics. I think approaching the problem from a psychological rather than a statistical standpoint would be more beneficial. A machine cannot predict how an attacker will act until it becomes capable of thinking like the attacker.

Sounds like a lossy compression program I heard about early April....it could compress to 0 bytes, if I remember correctly.
You forgot Invasion of the Clone Snatchers.

I think the best controller was the SNES one. Lightweight, small, slim, and simple. I wish they had kept that design.

Ah, but then running said virus (even unintentionally) would be copyright infringement.

No, no, no! Let M$ make their "OS" as annoying as possible! This can do nought but help Linux achieve total world domination!
