Makes you wonder just how many are out there right now.
I can count about 6 unaired shows sitting here in the office. That is of course what we get as a broadcast affialite and those shows made the "probably going to air" cut. However, we don't get things like Global Frequency which were nixed off the bat.
I can't say many of them catch my eye though, but the pilot to Fearless wasn't bad.
Touch every application on the network and see what it does. Also, don't tell anyone what you have figured out. Incidently, if something breaks... run far away.
Find as many logins as possible. Sit in different seats everyday. By the end of the week the teacher won't know who sat where and won't be able to match the logins to any particular person (at least the guilty person).
Find any and all inheirant weaknesses in the system and expose them for what they were. (I found several... though you never tell anyone as that would be admission of guilt... so they must be exploited repeatedly to be fixed)
Now at the time, we did not have interenet access. However, I did manage to find several riske articles in our CD-ROM based dictionary. Eventually, they decided they would have to block material they felt was too mature. (After I told 40 or so people). Jeez, 10 kids or so in each class each reading an article about vibrators and such is kinda hilarious now that I think about it.
All in all, I did some good work. Alas, I was not understood by my professors and eventually I was told to behave or my computer access would be taken away. They never did find out that I had found a minor hole in the system and was able to delete student accounts.
I look back on those days, knowing what I know now, and I think to myself; "Jesus, those guys were really shitty admin."
I deal with so much equipment that has a life cycle in the 30+ years that it's just amazing by comparison. So in another 10 years when more long lived technology has died off we might see the end of serial, but there is simply too much non-pc equipment in the world to do away with it.
Nearly every electronic requires a serial port or some form there of.
It's slow, clunky and definatelynot the newest thing, but it's a good standard and far too many things in this world require it.
Now, think about the devices in your home and ask yourself how many can do serial communications. (Hell even my cable box does)
Eminent Domain was recently used to sieze homes so college housing could be built for a private contractor. (not the school, but rather a gentlemen who had an agreement to build dormatory housing for students)
Worked out pretty good for him.
I'm sure it's being used elsewhere for personal gain.
Some of the new HD cams are using hard drives. The real benefit is virtually no moving parts beyond the disk. They also do standard definition and would probably be fairly good for what they want.
These units are intended for news crews and come with a bit of durability.
That's really where he wants to look. It's not like people don't use cameras strictly in home.
So pick up any broadcast professionals mag and peek about. Though they do tend to be fairly expensive.
One of the simple facts of the new systems are side scrollers are gone.
PS specifically has regulations regarding how games should be and the closest you can get to a side scroller is a long off back drop. The one exception I know of is the arcade classics.
I don't know if XBOX has any such restrictions, but they probably do.
It's not exactly uncommon when you get into high load non-pc derived devices.
Take for instance the APX-8000..
This beast has a dialup port density that will serve an entire small town.
The ethernet controller has it's own intel risc processor... though the versions I had were using the older cast of that cpu which looks like a pentium die cast. (newer ones are the size of a pinky)
Looks like they salvaged parts from the ascend/lucent max series to build one. (the early units were interesting)
In any event, the point being, it's not uncommon to have an entire ethernet controller dedicated to doing all of the works... it's just a bit different then the norm in PC land.
Personally, I think all credit card transactions should be PIN based rather then simply signature.
Then lets get wild...
Let's increase the digits a bit in length? Now, card numbers are issued every six months? Or if you want to opt for an online-only card #. You can get a new one every month or two months.
I really hate keeping the same card number for years. It almost gurantees that some asshat will store my data and get it ripped off like this.
In fact, if a card has too much internet wear and tear... I tend to "lose it" and require another one to be reissued. It's an odd quirk of mine.
Looks as if flash gives each site a very small amount of local storage.
The article says it can be disabled, but doesn't link to any information.
A quick trip over to macromedia shows the web access controls... which is handy for setting global restrictions. Not really sure where my flash panel would be other then when the module is loaded, but here is a link to a web based method of setting those restrictions.
you would have to bump into them at the right time. Many things happen in our daily lives and just because you are delayed at one instant doesn't mean you won't catch up to what you were doing.
ie, even if someone at work screws with what I'm doing, I will most certainly make my meeting at 1.
Same goes for dates, sex and whatnot.
Now, if you caught them in the act, you could always jump up from the bed and scream, "boogied boogied boo!" Then of course run away laughing as you fade from existance.
While Debian has been given permission to use trademarks those who would rename/redistribute debian do not have such permission.
So, if Joe Smith makes a really horrid implementation of debian it is possible his trademark use could be prevented. As a side thought, it would be funny for someone to intentionally make a bad distro.
Mozilla foundation says if you want to avoid that possibility rebrand it.
As I was thinking about it, it does make some sense if they are patching it in any way. At least you explicity know you have a variant of firefox that might be better then the rest. (Though I'm sure any security fixes will eventually make it back to the original firefox)
Beyond percieved market fragmentation it isn't a bad stance entirely.
It asks to do the media check and he can do this or not.
It proceeds to do pretty much everything for him during the install even asking fewer questions then Windows.
Dad's PC is pretty much ready to go after pressing next. He only has to remember the user name and password he chose (much like XP and 2k no?)
Additionally, Dad won't have spent any money beyond a cd-r unless he purchased it from a vendor like cheeplinux. There are no printed manuals and I really doubt Dad is going to go out of his way and get RHEL.
The difference here, as long as Dad has no goofy hardware it should work out of the box. (goofy and sometimes bleeding edge new).
The real disadvantage? Dad really won't know where to go to get new software. The third party RPMS provided by say cheeplinux will keep him going, but a new user really needs some direction in a windows centric world.

You can also do
Linux - IPFilter

By shipping with a variety of "hax" built in.
Just what every gamer needs.
Those are fine and dandy for you....
Here were mine during my HS days....

Serial is by far not even close to dead.
I deal with so much equipment that has a life cycle in the 30+ years that it's just amazing by comparison. So in another 10 years when more long lived technology has died off we might see the end of serial, but there is simply too much non-pc equipment in the world to do away with it.

Thank god I don't browse the web!

And mix it in with your smb shares to add yet another layer of protection.

Our trolls should be proud as they are getting even more attention or at least proving a point about how things work.
Honestly, it's already been proven, you need a ratio of moderators to posters and a measly small in house staff won't cut it.
It's either that or posts must be approved.
I wonder how wikipedia handles it...
I still love Joust to this day...

Don't have to call...
He's in the same building as me.
I do hope he is around here tomorrow.
You would have to go home and authorize it.
Doesn't really help with impulse buying.

Let me guess...
ECS Management?
Yet another friendly pat on the back management gives everyday.
Let the postive workflow begin!
Those were the global settings.
That was the purpose of showing the macromedia web based manager.
Yes, it also starts out on the first tab, but I thought users could navigate around.
That particular clock...
Who boy...
Probably fairly expensive, at least, more then you can afford.
Let's hope the consumer variant will be affordable.
I want wall paper with a changing pattern made out of it.
What a nifty trick.

Soooo he reads his email, decides the crypto isn't good enough and reverts back in time telling himself not to read it.
I do this all the time, I just don't know it as my future self leaves me post it notes on my monitor.
Oddly, my writing never resembles my own... so I suspect it's very far in the future so I must have a lot of work to do very soon.
Here is the problem as I see it...

In the age of the internet...
It's not like it's difficult to register a domain. With cars... it's a little more expensive and there are several registriations that take place.
So two discern two cars in a particular rental agency is not the same as two domains on the same ip/subnet.
Your comparison is fundamentally flawed.
Two points really...
DOS can delete them if you feel like paying for the NTFS dos drivers which support both read and write. (read is free).
This kind of thing really strikes me as a virus and why don't more AV programs stop it?
However, if it is listed as a program adaware cannot remove it will attempt to insert itself as the first program run to clean the system.
Yeah, it's a nightmare that I've dealt with, but why don't more AV companies recognize it as a virus rather then adware.
Dad pops CD1 in box?
It asks to do the media check and he can do this or not.
It proceeds to do pretty much everything for him during the install even asking fewer questions then Windows.

It's fairly easy to do the math and reach that conclusion.
The reason they make it into the office anyway is the low entry cost. Getting individuals to see the long term gains is sometimes difficult.
In any event, our last one died off and I forced them over to the network printer. Oh noes... they have to walk to get their printed document!
