Then the coders would respond by marking the segements sperated by the 'frames of black' && 'flagged as non-skipable' as ads.
It would probably swing back and forth as the advertisers try to gain the upperhand but in the end there are lots of dedicated hackers out there who I think would crush their efforts.
Why bother hacking a TV when a DVB card can do it for you?
If they do broadcast a (don't skip the adds) flag I'd be surprised if the MythTV backend wasn't updated (within a few hours of the first boardcast) to strip that content from the video files as it records them. Or even better just pausing the record while the flag is present.
Hi guys, I don't normally send this crap on (I dont belive in it lolz) but this one is really true. I had a friend who GOT A JOB FROM THIS EMAIL! It really works!!!!
Please forgive me for leaving the header intact and sending everyone's email address along so that a dataminer has no trouble picking up more spam targets. Also notice that there are 49 other email addresses in the 'to' header for this email. I wanted you all to know who my friends are and I wanted everyone to have the same chance to get their address regexed out by a spambot. If you press forward please don't remove anyone's email addresses that's just rude you n00bie. I hope that we can break the 9:1 ration of headers to content. PLEASE MAKE YOUR FRIENDS SCROOOOOOOOL. LOLZ.

There is also the option of 'Approved Edits from a banned/restricted network'. Where any time an edit on specific (or any) articles is made by someone from a banned/restricted IP, the edits must be approved by someone with full access before being commited to the 'current' page of that article.
Of course this produces about as many problems as it solves but is more in the 'spirit' of Wikipedia than sending them of to a honeypot/sandbox.
Say you are the sysadmin at company X, you build a server to spec. This spec includes the root password as well as passwords for each application. You now remember the passwords in that spec. Next year you decide to leave.
If the passwords in that spec are 'never expiring' you can gain access to that machine (and any DBs, etc.) and any other machine built to that spec. The problem is not personal passwords that are not shared with anyone, it's private passwords that are shared with few. Once one of those few become untrusted (they have left the company or been fired) that password has become a vulnerability.
EASY*TO*USE OS instead of something the under-priviledged people using this machine will have to struggle to learn
A main problem people have when switching OSs is not learning how to use a computer but learning how completeing specific tasks is different to what they are use to. Presumably the "under-priviledged" people using these computers are not likely to have had a huge exposure to computers. Probably not enough to get used to any specific 'way to complete a task' let alone how to use an entire OS. I doubt that a well configured GNU/Linux system with a modern UI is going to be more complex to learn from scratch than the standard install of Mac OSX. Of course doing a study to prove this is almost impossible given almost everyone who is easily reachable has some knowledge of one OS or another.
Given that the entire hardware base is going to be the same it only takes one configuration to run every one of those machines. Once that configuration is nailed down it will be installed on every machine and every machine will "Just Work" meaning that people can spend more time learning about using it and less time learning about configuring it. Of course with a FOSS OS they are more than welcome to re-configure/re-compile/tweak it.
I have an apendix, a kidney and a lumg that I could live without and that's just my own body parts. All of which (and more) I am willing to part with for a renewed version of Syndicate Wars with multiplayer.
Good god can someone please start work on an MMO Syndicate Wars?
Paintball is messy, I was thinking some kind of laser tag game. It has the added bonus of geeky electronics and much more potential for motion tracking sentry guns. Speaking of which... has anyone made a motion tracking sentry gun for use in laser tag games?
"If I want to write a virus I should be allowed to do so, but I should not be allowed to release it into the wild."
This poses an interesting question. If you did develop a worm with a nastey payload and release it on an entire subnet under your control (and ownership) that is firewalled off. Who would be blamed if a cracker broke in to the infected network, became infected themselves and then started infecting a public network either intentionly or not?
We see this sort of thing happen a lot on the internet. Someone develops something that could be used to do something without the permission of copyright-holders/box-owners/ISPs but it is also possible to use it with the full permission of those that it effects. Who do we go after? Aparently the answer is both but I, along with a lot of others, disagree.

From what I have been told by my friends that went to the midnight screening (here in AUS) with me you need to know absolutly nothing.
Joss did such a good job introducing everyone that I don't think it would help for someone to try and cram that much back story into a/. post. I've seen it twice now (a preview screening and a midnight session) and I can tell you it is so amazing it wont matter how much or little you know about the 'verse.
I know I'm bias but I can't recommend this movie enough. The raw emotion that comes from the ship, the characters and the story is overpowering. The throwaway lines that make up Joss' work fit are always in the right places.
Trust me as much as you trust any slashdotter, but you will enjoy this movie.
Strong Bad said it best with "If you want it to be possessive, it's just 'ITS.' But if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's I-T-apostrophe-S, 'scalawag."
Only if someone re-released the code in the later version. For anyone to use the re-release it would need to have some really fantastic feature. If there isn't some feature worth that $1000 then no one is going to use that release they will just use the release under the version it was released as that they are comfortable with.

At least your family can get the photos off the camera. Mine try to email me the whole camera so I can pull the images off for them.
Maybe they are looking to tun Linux Terminal Service Project and they want the advantage the Ubuntu desktop has for their thin clients?
What kind of Compaq RAID drivers are you after?
We run HP Compaq Proilant DL380s and DebSarge runs their array controllers fine.

Check out User Mode Linux, they even list trying `rm -rf /` as one of the things people use the application for.

Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!

Why won't these companies make up their minds? Do they like protecting IP with patents or not? It looks as though the only important IP is their IP.
Microsoft has been using patents for years to squash oposition, now they are sick and tired of $4 per chip? That must be breaking their bank!
That has to be the most Shiny use of a slashdot clique ever.
I for one will only welcome them two by two.

Have three groups of watchers
All three watch the goings on in each chatroom in shifts.
group 1 also watch group 2
group 2 also watch group 3
group 3 also watch group 1
Each group is then being monitored and there is no 'top god' tier.
