A client that cannot receive unicast IP datagrams until its protocol
software has been configured with an IP address SHOULD set the
BROADCAST bit in the 'flags' field to 1 in any DHCPDISCOVER or
DHCPREQUEST messages that client sends. The BROADCAST bit will
provide a hint to the DHCP server and BOOTP relay agent to broadcast
any messages to the client on the client's subnet. A client that can
receive unicast IP datagrams before its protocol software has been
configured SHOULD clear the BROADCAST bit to 0. The BOOTP
clarifications document discusses the ramifications of the use of the
BROADCAST bit [21].
IANAL, but from what I understand you retain the copyright for your content. By uploading it to YouTube, you basically give YouTube the right to use the material in any form that it wants (letting them, for example, stick your video thumbnail on its front page, marketing materials, etc. without asking you) but your work remains yours.
Granted; but, that doesn't make it any less hypocritical.
Good point! I'll definately take that into consideration. I've always been impressed with what Valve has had to offer. It'd be a shame to walk away from them without giving them the opportunity to hear my voice and address their past customers concerns.
This is nothing more than a ploy by M$ to force users to buy Vista. I loved Halo and 'Privateer' - both MS games. I was going to Buy Halo 2 until I saw it was Vista only. Did I say, "Man, I gotta upgrade my computer!"? Sure I did. But, if MS thinks for 1 second that I'm investing ~$300 into their Vista OS, they got another thing coming.
Microsoft's approach to 'Vista only' has only propelled me further from their business. I used to be of the mindset that gaming platforms are so one dimensional and not useful for anything else but play games why would I want to buy one? Now, I'm actually considering buying a PS3 - and I *loath* Sony far more than Microsoft right now - but, I've determined that MS's gaming division isn't getting any more of my money because I see right through their shoddy business practice of strong-arming consumers into buying their OS.
I'll be damned if an XBox or Vista enters my house.
That being said, I also will refuse to purchase any product from any gaming company that *also* supports 'Vista only' games whether the title I'm currently interested in supports XP or not.
Maybe its a civilization that managed to blow themselves out of history trought an accident somehow? If it is, I hope we can control that technology better when we advance enough to have it.
RFID being used to track people is just plain stupid.
There's an argument being made that it can help firefighters rescue people in fire-engulfed smoky buildings -- rubbish. Sure, there may be someone in the building needing rescue; but, what if the person is nothing more than an RFID ID card that's been dropped in the hustle to escape a fire? Now the fire-fighter is NEEDLESSLY endangering himself and others to rescue a piece of plastic and silicon.
Besides, power is cut to buildings that are on fire to mitigate further risk of electrical shorts that might have caused the fire in the first place and to prevent electrocution when those wacky fire-fighters start throwing water around. OK, forget the water. The power's been cut. Where exactly are these RFID towers again? Do they have power? Was the grid taken down to facilitate putting out the fire? Two towers still up so I have an idea where some RFID *tag* is *someplace* in level 2,3 or 4 somewhere in a 40,000sq ft building?
Great job, Angelo Lamme, from Motorola - Keep up the good work.
And, yes, I used to write software that used RFID technology.
There's also the idea of dropping said device into someone else's possession - I'm sorry, who are you tracking again? The suspect exited stage right while RFID card went left.
On the other hand, using RFID to track equipment is a very handy use for RFID. There are huge RFID readers that span entire docking bays than can read some kinds of tags and accurately report the contents of dozens of boxes' contents with ease.
Buddy. Give it up. If you ever get physical access to the machine, set up TightVNC with a strong password. Problems will half solve themselves. I did this with my mother. She lives hundreds of miles away and after I did this last Thanksgiving my life improved. Whenever she has a question, I don't just tell her to wrap her mind around my words, I show her.
There are solutional caves - caves formed by water - and there are lava-tube caves - caves (lava tubes, actually) formed by molten rock. When molten lava cools around other hotter lava, the hotter lava travels around the cooler, more solid, lava and sometimes drains out enough to create a pocket of, well, emptiness. Often times, lava tubes are not discovered until the ground gives way and opens into a pit to access the tube. Hawaii has lots of Lava tubes as do many areas near volcanoes.
On Earth, the ground breaks up due to water-action and other biological means (animals, bacteria, humans, etc...). I'm sure on Mars there's another method to break open a lava tube...sandblasting due to a large storm on Mars' surface and the occasional meteorite.
It's no surprise that Mars has caves - it makes sense. Whether or not those caves are solutional is what is important here.
I agree with what you said. Using your link, turn the machine over and its feet are little commodore symbols. I wonder if they're expecting that little symbol to carry their weight, too. (obviousness alert) Cute finishing touch, though.:)
You have two choices when you purchase anything M$, return the package unopened for a full refund or use it.
A while ago I purchased a new computer that I pieced together from OTS parts in a FRY's store in Indy, IN. Well, after their PC people informed me that certain parts would work with other certain parts, after I took it home and assembled it, it didn't work. They gave me wrong memory, wrong power supply, etc... It was a huge screwup. I accept responsibilty for not doing my own homework on the specific parts for the system; but, there was no *WAY* I was going to keep the system after listening to their recommendations and it not work.
FRY's reluctantly took back all their parts. However, there was one they fought me over. The opened package of Windows XP Professional. Their Customer Service manager fought tooth and nail with me on why they shouldn't take it back and why I told them they *will*. I bickered with them for almost an hour on this one issue. I did not back down one inch. I won.
I got my money back and they got the opened package back. When you're right, you're right. It's as plain as that. Reach the right people, show them why their process/procedure is FUBAR and you will more than likely receive the correct response.
However, I wouldn't place bet's that I could do it again.
I think the GP is suggesting that companies that have sensitive data (whether to the companies bottom line or some secret formula) are not quickly going to float their data over the internet and hope that some other entity is going to treat that data as sensitive as in-house employees would. Data needs to be controlled AND managed. Some companies are going to be more restrictive with their data warehousing than others.
I seriously doubt pharmacological, banking, automotive, airline-manufacturing (whether civilian or defense) companies are going to put any data into a server that they do not directly have control over.
The reasons why are as varied as the industry, too. Criminal hacking aside, what if some power or cable company cuts the hard line, through accident or whatever, and the company can't retrieve their data? I'm sure you'd know right away about a more than a few IT job opportunities right away.
Well, kinda late in the thread to be posting; but, what the heck.
I usually model my characters after me (blond,blue,white) or what's been described in the sci-fi fantasy novels I've read. Usually, they're white-ish to down-right sickening pale. I don't think I've ever *conciously-not* made a character that was black because of any negative connotations to this stereotypical, what?, type-cast. I've never considered it.
Frankly, I think the people that sit around stirring the pot with non-issues like this have more problems than most.
The game developers give everyone the option to choose whatever toned skin their users' would want. Just because some journalist begs the question, "Is it racist?", doesn't make it so.
I was watching CNN (or some such news show) and they were interviewing Bostonians. One girl said, "We're still reeling from Sept 11. Boston was the launching pad for the attacks on New York City."
I think the Joker from Batman said it all, "This town needs a enima!"

Hey! Congratulations, elrous0. It worked!
I'd personlly like to see the entire student body finish their semester out and transfer to another college.

Oh, ok. Then let's just call all hackers what they really are: criminals.

Take your own dogma and go home.

I found this interesting little blurb from the page you linked to:
Ah, I can already *do* that. What about a tool that helps me *prevent* this from happening.
Wow! That's one tricked-out laptop!! What size rims does it have?
