I just realized what a font in which every character was rendered as an "X" would do to enhance security.
Just like classified PDFs with "redacted text" covered with blacked-out boxes, all you have to do to get the plaintext is copy the text into the clipboard and paste it into a text editor!
pwn3d! No security added, trivially overcome, but looks secure to a pointy-haired bureaucrat, which is to say that its adoption by the bureaucracy is inevitable.

I don't know why you're going through all that trouble. Last night, prompted by the SuperBowl commercials, I drank a case of Bud Light instead of beer, and chanelled Darl McBride's thoughts directly to keyboard.
Here's what I got.
ANDY
RHAT
LNUX
SCOX
DARL
Red Hat and VA Software are companies I don't like, and SCO is your last line of defence. That'll be $699 per license, please.
Truth be told, the original author had it right.
ANDY
( fill out your own steps in the middle... )
DARL
And QED.
What, you don't like that logic? When "fill in your own steps in the middle" is good enough to get me $3,000,000,000 from IBM and not get thrown out of court on my ass, it's gotta be good enough to prove anything else!
And that's what Darl's thinking.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash my brain out with Scotch.

...but not half as entertaining. I'm with the robots on this one. Make 'em big, make 'em go "clank" when the move, put cameras on 'em, and charge $49.99 per month for pay-per-view live feeds from both sides of the war. Deploy widely and may the army with the best hackers conquer the world, one robotic steel fist at a time.
The education of Stryker, an 18-ton military monster truck, begins in the warehouse lab of General Dynamics in Westminster, Md
There, Stryker, one of the U.S. Army's newest infantry vehicles, is fitted with a "ladar" scanner, the equivalent of a mounted pair of eyes that see by emitting 400,000 laser and radar beams and snap 120 camera images every second. Its brain -- a 40-pound computer system tucked inside its body -- processes that data, and makes instant judgments on how to act and where to go.
Where can I get one. I don't care what it costs, I want one.
As someone whose productivity is always enhanced by thinking about giant robots, I need one of these to help me work smarter, especially after those bastards in Las Vegas cancelled the SRL show.
> I wish they's put as much effort at trying to keep the number of spamvertized websites hosted on Chinese ISPs under control. 90% of the spam I receive are advertising sites hosted on IPs that are allocated to Chinese companies.
Look at it this way. They're probably just as pissed off about all the "F0u4 JU|\|E +13|\|4|\|m3|\| M4554cr3!" spam their activists are sending them in order to get around the filters.
> HDTV is a tough subject, because the industry has done such a poor job on rolling out HDTV. Not just the manufacturers, but also the stations, cable companies and the damned FCC. But you would think you would know whether or not you have HDTV after seeing what 1080i looks like.
Nail. Head. Hit. Typical example:
Salesdrone: "Sir, HDTV is totally awesomer than analog TV because it's... umm... it's digital! Don't you like that word digital? Look! We have all the TVs on this wall hooked up to a digital broadcast! And here's our digital TV! My boss trained me to say that all by myself!"
Joe Sixpack: looks at wall of analog and digital TVs. Sees big blocks around everything that moves as a result of dumb-ass cable companies using extremely high compression factors on their digital. Sees the same big blocks at 1080i. Says "Huh? My rabbit ears give me a better picture!" and walks away.:)

The sad thing, of course, is that Comcast's shifting of its IP addresses of its mail servers is designed to prevent people from "blocking all but their mail servers".
Comcast's behavior is consistent with a company more interested in getting its customers' hijacked boxes' spam out than its legitimate mail. The most reasonable compromise I came up with was to jack up the DNSBL weightings in SpamAssassin and hope that the DNSBL maintainers can do a better job of tracking Comcast's IP-shifting mail servers better than I can.
SPF looks very interesting. It's remaining on my radar too.

Other ISPs, and any business that provides internet access to any internal workstations-- please take note, and block egress port 25 traffic. Otherwise, you are part of the problem.
Agreed.
Optus, mail from your network is now welcome on my servers. Consider yourselves unblocked.
Are you a residental broadband provider that doesn't block port 25? Guess what? Your mail bounces, because it's all spam, no ham. That's you I'm talking to, Comcast.

Words mean things. Witness our constant squabbles over "hacker" vs "cracker", or "Linux" vs "GNU/Linux". The original poster got "sad thing" and "tragedy" precisely backwards. (Which is hardly tragic, but it sure is ironic:)
For what it's worth - the two or three starving kids with IQs of 200 who die of starvation every day - if they achieve even the modicum of education necessary to realize that they're special, different, and smarter than their peers, and who start to try to rise above their station, but who finally realize they'll never amount to anything and will die in the gutter like their worthless peers, also qualify as tragedy.
And to be clear that this isn't about first-worldism; A good 49,999 of the 50,000 of us who get killed on our highways every year are also merely a statistic.
> A real tragedy is millions of children dying from hunger in the world. The astronauts were well paid and knew what they were doing, understanding the risks. It is sad, really, but it is not a tragedy, sorry.
[...] Tragedy must tell of a person
who is "highly renowned and prosperous" and who falls as a result of some "error, or frailty," because of external or internal forces, or both.
External forces include fate, fortune, the gods, and circumstances. The internal forces include "error or
frailty." The Greek term he uses in The Poetics is harmartia, translated as "tragic flaw." The final
elements are the reversal of action and the growth of understanding, or self-knowledge. Aristotle calls
the reversal of action or intention the peripete: the instant when there is a "change by which the
action veers around to its opposite." The moment of comprehension is the recognition (anagnorisis).
This recognition means that the protagonist canes to understand his place in the scheme of things.
- a paraphrase of Aristotle
Seven (14) astronauts and a $3B spacecraft (oops, two of 'em), dying because of fucking powerpoint slides written in bureaucratese, however, is about as tragic as it gets.
That applies double when it's the second time this has happened.
And finally, if - after riding a million pounds of explosives into orbit, phoning home about a foam strike once you get there, being told "Naw, our experts told us it weren't nuthin' to worry yer pretty little heads about", and then seeing the diagnostic panel light up like a Christmas tree as your wing collapses and your ship yaws hard, and your last thoughts probably including "Oh shit, I wonder if we've lost a wing?" doesn't qualify as a "moment of discovery in which the hero realizes what has happened to him", I don't know what does.

You've just shown them that you (a) know it's a setup question, (b) demonstrated the ability to think on your feet, and (c) let slip that your idea of a good time is working on learning how to operate high-end software suites.
If the job were for a graphic design position, and I were interviewing you, and I got that response, I'd say "Show me". And if your Photoshop was good, I'd hire you on the spot. Because it shows me you're not just looking for "a job", but that you actually enjoy your work.
> In space, it is even more restriction as the Space Treaty automatically make the national government the owner of record for anything constracted by it's citizens or corporations. It has not been run through and courts yet, but it might get a little wierd as things start picking up.
Let me get this straight. Suppose I won the dot-com lottery and built my own frickin' rocket with my own frickin' money, flew it to Mars, set up my own habitat, and enjoyed the sights.
Now, my launch may have broken any number of FAA regulations, and my government's free to fine me for it (or they can come the fuck over here to Mars and arrest me!:)
But you're tellin' me that this treaty says my government also owns my Martian base, even though I built it with my own money?
This treaty needs to be abolished immediately, if not sooner. 100% taxation of extraterrestrial assets is not how you pave the way for commercial development of space.
It won't "get a little weird as things start picking up", because with a treaty like that, there's no way in hell anyone will ever start a private space venture. There'll be no space Hilton, because Hilton already gives enough cash to the government in the form of taxes every year.

What do the 400/2M CPU modules run at, and what's the minimum revision of Ultra 5 mobo/OBP that supports them? I'm not all that confident that a 333/2M will OC to 400, but a 360/2M might, and trying either sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon.
