Generally speaking good media involves a story that can't be sumerized with diagrams, and doesn't leave one feeling like part of their brain has just been eaten. Bad sitcom media can also usually be identified with the overzealous laugh track.
a modern example of good vs bad:
bad media: MTV Newlyweds
good media: Dr Who
When Robert Moran drove back to his law offices in Rome, N.Y., after a plane trip to Arizona in July 2003, he had no idea that a silent stowaway was aboard his vehicle: a secret GPS bug implanted without a court order by state police.
Ok, this is the problem: they PLANTED a GPS chip in his vehicle.
God I feel old, a VIDEO GAME company is subject to an antitrust meeting????? This is a company that for the most part has no physical product, this non physical product is *ONLY* used recreationally, and this recreational non physical product has a typical useful life span once purchased of less then a month (and for some people as little as a day).
This country really does red tape everything to death.
Ahhhhh, so if you follow the instructions perfectly it might work. If you have multiple windows open, it won't work. Does this mean their vulnerability has a vulnerability?
Speaking of SATA drives getting bigger... Has any of the firewire/USB2 case makers jumped on the SATA bandwagon yet, or does one still have to use a converter?
I think it's fairly safe to say that those with a sense of humor (Hulk votes) would vote for kerry over bush;-)
Seriously, it should be a close race, the polls are usually polling likely voters, and for the first time in over a decade we've got a major rash of young people registering to vote, and as long as the Democrats continue to register more new voters, we'll be fine.
In the end it will boil down to voter turnout. If there's high voter turnout the dems will win, if it's low, then the republicans will win.
Oh I completely agree. In the long run helping society adjust is the most important thing. However, one of the key steps along that path is to directly help people who need it. And if you can help by cutting back on a couple big macs for a week, it will help people directly, while you continue to try to help them indirectly:)
Um, am I completely blind or is there no link to donate, or number to call to donate? Yes, I know this is the comerical world and most of us don't care about the rest of the planet. But there's a few of us that do. Hell, I'd donate $20 now, and that makes me wonder how many others would... A lot of people don't want to donate to the christian childrens funds because they tend to push religion down people's throats.
While I agree, he recognizes that money is more or less pointless, I am a little surprised he didn't accept the prize and swiftly turn it over to his favorite charity. Or favorite impoverished country.
Yes, that's what he's saying. He is in fact right, nuclear energy *CAN* be the safest form of energy. We'll see if it will be.
As far as terrorist attacks, good. We drastically over-reacted to the towers falling. Hell, I was living in NYC at the time and still think that. A bit under 3k people died once from the attack, oddly enough, more people in NYC die a little over each month in NYC (2000 figures from the NYC dept. of health) then were killed when the towers fell. Perhaps we're concentrating too much on the wrong enemy? Of course then again we still haven't caught the person who planned the attacks, we were diverted and deceived by our govt... Er, sorry. that slipped out. Anyways, the point is, with current energy needs we need to do something different then traditional means. If China is willing to be the test bed, then god bless them.;-) Then again, china is *very* bad at the whole upkeep thing, so this could get ugly.
Um, unless I missed something in the news, California has a REPUBLICAN gov. In fact, I believe he's speaking at the RNC... admittedly he's only slightly more republican then Kennedy... but for some reason, the RNC doesn't want us normal people to focus on the gay marriage ban that bush has pushed with every ounce of strength.
As far as NY, NY has a republican gov. AND NYC has a republican mayor. You might have heard of him? Very wealthy guy, could buy and sell/.?
Bitching creates a lot of noise, voting creates change (albeit slowly). get off your ass and vote. The last presidential election was decided
by 35% of the (total) population. That's not right. Register to vote, and VOTE people, perhaps if people stopped whining about their votes not counting, and actually voted some of these red and blue states would switch colors. As the guy from hardball said on Bill Maher, go vote, not for the person, but for where you want America to be in 20 years. If you are happy with the go it alone cowboyness of GW, then by all means vote for him. if you believe that exporting our jobs, and importing foreign products is good for us, then vote for him. if you want someone who will work with our allies and treat the rest of the world with respect (not just the parts that agree with us) then vote for Kerry. Just *VOTE*. Think about where you want to be and then act accordingly. It takes a lot for Americans to wake up, but once we do. Watch out. I'll refrain from preaching as to which way you SHOULD vote, but for god's sake vote.
Actually diesel has a problem with NOx emissions (which is the main component of ground level smog. Case in point, you can't buy the new VW diesel in 3 or 4 states because of emissions) Hell, if we could figure out a cure for the NOx problem we could use a bit more bio-diesel too...;-)
My mistake (considering the time, that's hardly surprising) I meant you just need physical access (not hard) + 1 password for most locations, or on the other hand one good exploit.
That's one point of failure. Also of course "good" exploits on *nix tend to give the user root access, without a root to be given access to, there's not as much of a problem.
A third possible security situation with root would be if you work with the government, or for *SOME* banks that do not like the idea of a superuser. For some situations they do *NOT* want any one person to have access to everything, to them that's a security issue. Usually this only involves secret/top-secret or higher clearance, and will not be found in the "real world", but it's still a valid security point. Of course, you'll note I was just explaining some reasons why the previous user said it was a security problem...
Having one user (root) with the ability to do anything (s)he wants to the system is a security fault if only because it means *1* password will allow a person unfiltered access to your system. (there's more downsides, but it's almost 2:30 in the morning, and I'm farging tired) That's a single point of failure, which is not a great thing in the real world. It is to me, tolerable, but it is still a security fault.
the main thing to remember is that when you are doing laser surgery (instead of the perm. contact solution that is coming) they are reshaping your eye. That is, they are REMOVING part of your Cornea. There is no undo button, if they cut too much you're screwed. Also if you have really bad eyes (sigmatism or what have you) you need to have decently sized corneas for it to be worthwhile. And even after surgery your eyes will still age, so you might need glasses again. I would strongly advise against it unless you're a big x games like person. I considered it as a graduation gift to myself, but my then fiancee an Optomitrist talked me out of it.
On the other hand, my dad did do it about 10 or so years ago, and he was very happy with the results. His retina has since detached, and his eyes have grown progressively worse, but that's not due to the surgery, it's just a matter of getting older.
and the difference between a production server at a COMPANY where you WORK and a FREE service where you play is nonexistant 'eh? Go outside and greet the real world, you might learn something new.
Well, the problem is with the user's expectation of privacy. We understand that customs (and the postal inspector) has the power to go through our mail. But we do *NOT* expect mailboxes etc (or even the post office) to open our letters with their competitors and to keep a log of our corespondances. Yes, it was his box, and he can do anything he wants with it. But he was running a service, and people using that service had a reasonable expectation of privacy, well unless in the useage portion there was some legal language saying we'll be able to review any data kept on our server....
I'm more concerned about the future backlash of this. Even if you have your own mail host, everyone you communicate with won't. Even if they do, what about the hops your data takes to get to their server? If a package is passed through a router does that consitute enough ownerage to log the data? Yes, encrypted mail will keep this to a minimum, but I'd prefer not to be told that mail snooping is LEGAL.

I laughed my ass off the first time I read that joke (after realizing that it is in fact satire). Thanks for the laugh.

Have to ask, anyone have any suggestions for the best way to do this semi-automated? (Remove a person but recreate the background)
China rounds up, beats mourners for deposed leader Zhao Well, aside from getting the crap kicked out of you for mourning a leader that was viewed weak on college students (1989) I'm sure it's lovely...
I *THINK* it was for speeding (or DUI, considering the date, I'd lean towards speeding)
I have to ask, how much traffic are you firewalling with the 266 chip?
;-)
and of course, given much thought into selling your own brand of firewalls?
After RTFA:

I know UPN ran a show on them, but the mullett is back? I see at least two mulletts, and a couple possibles.
Personally I think she's beautiful, but then again I go on brains before I'll even consider the beauty.

Good luck if you do decide to give it a try.
(//Theory mode on)
No, manufacturers will (each)take this step to dominate the market since there will be demand for all new accesspoints, routers, cable modems, etc.
They also will increase the price for said object 50-100% higher then the expected additional costs of said modifications.
