What you have to understand, what the American people have to understand, is that we're at war. The fact that we're talking about these vulnerabilities simply emboldens the enemy.
wow. I agree with your steps 1-6, but everything you wrote above that is complete and total bullshit. NOBODY - President and FBI included - has the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want. There's a reason we have laws that require a warrant, and it's to protect our civil liberties. I don't care if there is some so-called-war-on-terror going on, you follow the damn rules. The FBI agents obviously tracked down a lead to the library - there's no reason they couldn't have gotten a warrant on the way there.
If you start giving the goverment a free pass on things like this, who's to say what's next?
first of all, that issue isn't about not having to prove your identity, it's about requiring government-issued ID cards in order to vote.
secondly - a grand total of four people have been charged with double voting in Milwaukee in the 2004 election. What "leading Milwaukee Democrats" were investigated?
I installed the last release candidate, and what I read on the MS support forums is that this is an OEM ONLY release - the only way to get it is with the purchase of some MS-approved hardware from an authorized dealer.
The MS reps on the support forums did let everyone know that you could simply buy a $2 cable from a dealer, and then purchase the x64 release at the same time legally - you don't have to purchase a new computer with an x64 processor.
Well, we're not talking about going out and running for 2 hours. Your average Joe - at least the average Joe who's reading slashdot and spending $300 on a geek toy like this - is probably going to swim for an hour at a crack, tops. Plenty of capacity for that.
Then again, if your name is Phelps or Thorpe, you're spending a little more time in the water than that.
Jeebus. Either I got ahold of some mystery installer, or my system is different than everyone else. I actually *do* have better things to do with my time, people.
Some nice interface changes in the Windows version. The title bar is more mac-like (there's a whole different set of options available if you right-click the title bar), and you can minimize the app to the tray, instead of the task bar, and you can keep iTunes on top of other windows all the time.
Also, there's an option to "Make programs recognize iTunes as WinAmp". I'm hoping I can use that in conjunction with MovableType and Zempt to add a "Now Playing" feature to my weblog entries.
Is it just me, or does that photo look fake? It looks like someone made a (crappy) mask of the parachute from another image, drew in a red line for the pole coming out the side of the chopper, and plopped it all together.
I had a subscription to Safari about 8 months ago. I only kept it for 2 months, but while I had it, it was pretty useful.
At the time, I was trying to "expand" my skillset, so I got to have access to several virtual books on one subject - for the same price as one physical copy. I also kept a few reference books in my virtual library - again, cheaper than having a hard copy sitting in the shelf.
In the end, it was only useful for me while I was learning new things - I didn't see it as a long-term solution.
About a year or so ago, ABC released a game series called "Alias Underground".
http://abc.go.com/primetime/alias/underground/ If I remember, your first download contained the game engine, and the first 2 missions. Subsequent missions were released every other week or so.
Oh, and it was free (as in...). Of course, during the game, Sydney drives a Ford Focus®, and communicates with Marshall via her Nokia®, cell phone.
It's pretty much a Tomb Raider knockoff. Fun, nonetheless.
Just for the record, MY senator - Russ Feingold - was the ONLY one to vote against the Patriot Act. And, from what I've heard, getting a Republican lapdog into his seat has become Karl Rove's pet project.
(At least that's what Russ keeps saying in the campaign contribution letters I keep getting...)
I installed it on a Win2K (P4 1.8 w/ 512MB ram) box at work, no problem at all.
Ran home for lunch, and installed on my XP(Athlon 2400XPwith 1GB Ram). Crashed 4 times before I gave up and went back to work. Every time I popped a CD in, it hung. and hung...
Here's my idea for a Linux commercial:
Jump cuts between a series of shots of geeks, camera placed "behind" the monitor. each of them is bathed in the glow of their monitors, and happily hacking away. Before cutting to the next geek, a caption reads "This [guy|girl] works for you".
promote the fact that you've got a virtual army of programmers working on your software. And they're working for free. The target audience is concerned with the bottom line. You can't beat "0".
This is just beautiful. I was starting to run out of ammunition in my "college is for suckers" argument, and now this. Thank you, jeebus.

Masatoshi Koshiba, one of the three winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics, on Wednesday provided evidence of his earlier claim he was the worst student in his university class by making public a copy of a transcript issued by his alma mater, Tokyo University.
"I graduated from Tokyo University's science department at the bottom of the class," the 76-year-old professor emeritus of the university said at a press conference at the university Tuesday evening, responding to the news he had won the prize.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm running 4.6 on Windows 2000. It's all there.

Yeah, half the price and half the quality. Have you ever tried using one of those with an iPod in the car, for example? Not good.

Do you have any notes or tips you could post on the process? I'd like to give it a shot, but haven't had much luck as of yet.
Middle of nowhere, no starbucks, no tacobell
You say that like it's a bad thing... i dream of a world with no starbucks or taco bell.

Yeah, I went ahead and reformatted the iPod as a Mac volume, and installed the Mac-version of the 1.3 firmware.
AAC is a "go", but I wish I had the playlists and other features...
Time to upgrade!
hmm...
mine was originally a Mac-formatted iPod, that I blew away and reformatted.
Maybe I'll try the reverse. I'd really like to be able to play AAC files - otherwise, there's little point in using the store.
I installed it on a Win2K (P4 1.8 w/ 512MB ram) box at work, no problem at all.
Ran home for lunch, and installed on my XP(Athlon 2400XPwith 1GB Ram). Crashed 4 times before I gave up and went back to work. Every time I popped a CD in, it hung. and hung...
>> Most of this stuff works fine with Rev A iPods
No they don't. I've got a first gen. 5GB, and I'm unable to update to anything past version 1.3 of the iPod firmware. No AAC. No playlists-on-the-go.
If you've figured out how to accomplish this, *please* fill the rest of us in.
