The next step is to allow this kind of thing with non-identical cards. It would be nice to be able to keep your old card even after you've bought a brand new one. But it seems that synchronization is a bit of a problem.
Have you ever seen a dual CPU setup with two different CPUs? They even have to be the same stepping, AFAIK. Sadly this will probably never happen.
The average PC motherboard has everything onboard. You won't need cards for firewire and USB, they're onboard. You might need to put in the audigy, but your system only need have five slots for that.
And the average PC motherboard is a piece of shit, and not what you're going to be using with this setup.
I know onboard has improved a lot in the last few years, but I still want a LAN card that can do bus mastering, for one. Not to mention that even if your motherboard has all the extra USB/firewire ports built in, you still need slots to put the extra connectors. Front of the case notwithstanding.:)
Also to keep in mind is that most of the 'better' (i.e. open source or hacked) filesharing clients at least let you set a limit on the upload rate they'll use. This obviously isn't perfect, as its not very adaptive. Although I think I saw at least one that would allocate more bandwidth if your screen saver came on, or some other inactivity hint.
The CO2 expands when the temperatures rises. Therefore CO2 cannot explain that the coke expands when the temperature falls.
Actually, nearly everything expands as the temperature rises, but you failed to point out that water ice is one of the few (only?) solids that is actually larger than its liquid form. So you've got to be careful with it.
Well, the defense aerospace industry in the U.S. is almost completely english units. Elsewhere it's a mix, except universities almost exclusively teach aerospace engineering in SI.
Weird...my friends in Mech and Aero at a Canadian University were forced to learn almost everything in both, IIRC. And Canada is obstensibly metric. But that may have just been in the lower year courses, to give them a hard time.
For anyone considering Mandrake, download it or get it from cheapbytes. If you want to support them, then go ahead and order it, but if you actually want it in a timely manner, you'll have to do it yourself.
With the club membership you get access to the club mirrors for a whole year, don't have to wait for shipping, and don't cost them money on packaging, etc.

Now of course they are biased - but I like how the Al Franken show works. They do basically little commentary of their own, but they focus on debunking the right-wing shows commentary. One of the best things they do is catch the right's lies. They will have actual tapes of, say, O'Reilly saying one thing one day, and then the opposite the next. Or they will have tapes of O'Reilly commenting on something incorrectly, and then play the thing it was O'Reilly was commenting on to show the error...
So, you think it's awesome that they don't actually say what they believe, and instead just use a strawman argument to discredit the other side?
One of the best comments I read in the last few years was that the only thing you're allowed to criticize people for any more is hypocrisy, so it's best to never take a side.
If you follow that argument to the end, it leads to the conclusion that its better it todays society to have no morals that you can't live up to every single day, rather than try to be better and fail occasionly. Which is not a fun world.
The really funny thing was that after I did this I noticed very few people walked on the green stripe and they usually took an extra big step over it.
I often step over stripes or try to stay on the same colour, etc. I think it's mainly an extension of the whole "step on a crack..." superstition. And hey, it keeps your mind occupied during boring walks.
Not as far as I know, but if I were a business I wouldn't have to have actual damages from an attacker to claim that I had to take my computers offline while the security risk was fixed, therefore costing my business an estimated $X.
Aren't these clearly consumer grade, el-cheapo WIFI devices? Any serious business - if they even used these - would have them inside a firewall.
The harm is in they purchased a security device and then found out that it is intentionally not secure.
But if no one is actually breaking in you have no case. It's like saying "it's easy to make a master key for my brand of lock." It probably is, but unless people start taking advantage of that, you have no case. You can't sue someone for potential or theoretical damages.
FreeDesktop is in fact talking about tossing XLib all together and then reimplementing X11 legacy-compatibility around another library. Go check the whitepapers.
If they're implementing legacy compatibility on it, what exactly is the problem?
It seems you are the know-nothing troll.
Try actually learning about what you troll about next time, as this can CERTIANLY break what he is talking about.
You can't say anything CERTAINLY until you see it in action. Let's argue about what % compatible something that doesn't exist yet will be! Yay!
I think the owners of these units should file a class action lawsuit, though i'm not even sure that's possible due to the EULA. If the EULA does get in the way then
I mentioned this elsewhere, but how can you file a lawsuit if no one can show any damages?? Where is the link to someone who had data stolen because of this? How important was it? Or did the attacker just manage to use some of their bandwidth? Did that cost them money?
No harm, no foul. You can't have a class action lawsuit when not even one member of the class can show any evidence.
The fact that the backdoor existed at all makes them liable, IMO, because it proactively defeats the supposed security they used to sell their product.
Liable for what, though? Has anyone shown any damages yet??
You pay some obscene amount of money, say, $30K/year to go to a university. Once you're there, you cheat?
I think a lot of it is people who's families pressure them to go.
A friend at work went with a guy who's family was all pressure-like, then he realized he'd have to go back, so he started failing stuff like mad in his last year. Shit's crazy.
Uhmm. I'm not sure what university YOU attended, but I can assure you I didn't glide through anything. If you screwed around while doing your undergrad and it was easy, shame on you for picking a lame program.
But weren't at least 20-30% of the people in your program rampant cheaters? I bet they were. And they glided through.
Maybe he did his PhD in a proper subject instead of English?
Maybe 80% of successful engineering is successfully communicating what you did? Maybe a PhD involves a giant report? As does a Master's, and often even an undergrad degree?
I TAed last semester and people used to bitch at me for taking off marks when their stuff didn't compile due to spelling mistakes. Who the hell would accept a program that didn't compile in the business world? English (or whatever your chosen language is) matters.
A friend of mine is being hassled by her phone company to switch to a new plan, simply because her existing one is cheaper, and according to the phone company "not nearly as good".
Here in Ottawa Sympatico roled out about 1500 symmetrical DSL connections years ago as a pilot project (something like 1.5 Mbps up and down). The modems on the CO end are huge, and take up two line card slots. And then they found because of the heat they had to remove two adjoining cards as well.
But of course, the people who have them aren't going to give up the symmetrical access unless they have to.
If the expensive overwhelmed the convenience then you'd see people calling (only 5c a minute after all) rather than txting.
I use it a lot to keep in touch with a friend who's a flight attendant. Her number is long distance for me, and she'll often be roaming, so it would cost us both more than 5 cents a minute. But yes, I got a text package.
Now, I know for a fact that the password can be recovered and/or resetted easily with some basic equipment, but IBM continues to insist that only a motherboard replacement will due, and they charge you the full-price of a mobo just because of a stupid BIOS password.
As a prank I once set someone's computer to require a typed in password to turn on, which is an option in some BIOSes. The problem was, you'd type it in, and nothing. It would not turn on.
He took it in to get serviced and they replaced the motherboard! Ah well. He deserved it.

Yeah because cutting off a site's primary revenue stream is a great way to ensure they continue to provide free content for you.
Just because you don't see them doesn't mean you don't download them. And if you never click on them anyway...there's no difference to their revenue.

CRT > LCD / PLASMA
This equation just made me laugh. Like...if plasma is less than one, just think of how much smaller LCD has to be than CRT!
OK, I'm done.
I do understand a lot about traffic shaping..
Sorry for the assumption.
Also to keep in mind is that most of the 'better' (i.e. open source or hacked) filesharing clients at least let you set a limit on the upload rate they'll use. This obviously isn't perfect, as its not very adaptive. Although I think I saw at least one that would allocate more bandwidth if your screen saver came on, or some other inactivity hint.
it would be nice if there were a way to prioritize your outgoing traffic so that applications like this get extra-low priority.
It's called traffic shaping. Most of your business grade routers will do it, and there's more than one open source project that will do it as well.
My personal favourite was a 'Computer Parts and Submission Fighting' store in Oshawa, Ontario.

No need to get snippy. Most of the time when people talk about "worth" they're talking monetarily.
You must be from the good old USA.
