This is why I ordered a copy of this killer movie from Hong Kong the day Miramax said they where going to be doing the US release. Every movie Miramax has gotten its hands on has ended up being ripped apart in re-editing.
The movie realy is good. A simple story told from several view points using a diferrent color scheme for each one. If you can, watch the original and do not go to the US release.
Its not wrong at all. Writting open source software in no way shows that you can write software to user specifications. If anything, it shows the oposite.
Given that they cant figure out how to turn on encryption, set a password or even change the name of the device I'm willing to bet very few know how to limit connections by MAC address. Whats more several WAP systems given away by ISPs and the like dont even support MAC filtering.
If your running unencrypted they nust need to download some software to "see" the MAC address you're using. Granted, they would need to want access to YOUR site rathr then any others in the area, but it is very easy to do.
To "spoof" a MAC address on a lot of cards involves typing in the new set of numbers, nothing more. Many network cards come with the software needed to change the MAC address in the event of a conflict since many small time vendors only use a small range of addresses on cards they ship.
I'm sure the mafia types running Nevada State Gaming Control Board had their opinions swayed by reading slashdot.
Mafioso Boss: Ok den, we's gona use dis Diebold system for all future voting right?

Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.
Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shanty was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.
"It keeps hot stuff hot, and it keeps cold stuff cold. But how does it know the difference"
It know the difference because its smarter then you. Fear the cup, it knows where you go and it knows what you drink. What evil plans does the Thermos company have for the data its smart cups collect.
All George Bush needs to do is say that he has evidence (don?t say what it is) of weapons of mass destruction on the mars surface. Then he can get as much funding as the project needs.

The realy sad part is that the first 30 volumes are just a lost of all the annoying Linux geeks handels.
I know of no one who has "hacked" XPs activation system. However, there are MANY copies of the corp' install ISO images out there that dont need activation since they where intended for the 100+ desktop installs. In truth I use my MSDN copy of the same disk but with my real CD Key since I just cant be bothered to activate all my home systems, not that activation is much of an issue for 95% of the people out there.
"How long till Sun realises that they are going to make more money off Linux than they ever possibly could off Solaris, do a complete about face, and proclaim 'Linux is the best choice for the server as well as the desktop, and Solaris is `legacy` technology.'"
As soon as Linux scales well to 128+ CPUs with full binary compatibility (no recompile) and has hot swap CPU/MEMROY/Motherboard support. People who think that Solaris must suck becuase it lacks a cool interface are missing the point.
So the SGI systems I had before the iMac where beige and not the purple, teal, red and black that they looked like? How about the old 286 I had with a transparent plastic case, was that beige? Hell, how about the ACER PCs that where purple and black, where those beige as well? Seems that exposure to Apple computers makes you color blind.
How about you compare it to a GBA when you relize that you can have a 512MB memory card in the NGage with a bunch of games and emulators installed. In fact there is a GBA emulator out there allready. Just transfer games and ROMs over via blue tooth. So you have NO game swapping on the NGage VS removing the cart and installing another in the GBA.
Becuase, lacking Psychic powers, the phone company has no way of knowing that the customer DIDN'T wander out side of there local area if the signal shows up as comming form the worng tower.

You need to hack the digital SLR camera to do this right, but the images you get back are astounding.

I got my dual 64 bit CPU Sun Ultra 60 for 50$.
They're not saying, however they've issued a guava alert.

I can change ANY retina or fingerprint for only 29.95. May hurt a bit however.

Road Runner physics is funny. Newtonian physics is not.
Your right, there is just no way that a 104MHz ARM cpu can emulate a 16.78MHz ARM CPU.
Sorry, saw it at a Nokia dev con and didn't think to get a copy or a location for it.
