If you want to make a render box, you can ditch the dvd, the Graphics card, and the sound. You should also run the memory up to 256. Thatis about $250 + S/H. Since you're rendering, and not just cloning the damned Xbox, you can forget about all the software and gamepads.
. Requesting access to data or (heaven forbid) a physical room with computers in it might take days to get approved, but people'd still have their passwords on yellow sticky notes.
Tell me about it. The place I work, I didn't have accounts on the servers I needed to use, so my boss gave me his. When I asked for my own accounts, they got all paranoid about me messing up the system, even though they knew I had been on the systems for over a week. I still don't have accounts everywhere I need them, so I'm using my boss' login there. Gag me with a pitchfork.
I would imagine the lack of an atmosphere would make an explosion magnitudes more catastrophic if one of these uncontrollable combustion processes did occur.
Quite the opposite. Without the air to transmit the shockkwave, explosions propagate as far as their reactants. Even nukes look tame when exploded in orbit (as tests have shown).
If you go the other way, shockwaves iin water are really nasty - more medium means that they travel much farther. Tossing a concussion grenade in a pool is just asking for a large bodycount
Does that count as distribution? If so, you have to release the source for the modifications. However, you dont have all the source, since the ADO headers from MS link to compiled binary code. Now you have a bit of a jam, as I see it.
Not at all. the MySql client libs are LGPL, so just using them in no way obligates you to release your source. If you modify those libs, you must release your modifications to those libs
However, that means that anyone can lock the account after n tries
Anyone can lock an account from their source IP block. You can make things more interesting by trying to block their IP block maliciously, but this works only if you know where they live and they use some national ISP (unless you want to spend $20 to lock them out for 30 minutes). It won't work at all for me unless you manage to hack my home box.
The point being, if you lock based on the source IP of failed attempts, you will pay more in resources to handle logins, but you will gain more ability to shut out malicious people while not affecting the legitimate users.
In the case of E-Bay and user lockout, there is no exact solution
In this case, a lockout that is specific to remote address or address block might be useful. Add in some checks for stuff like AOL (different IP each connect and a pile of users) and dialup blocks (lockout a class C network for that login to frustrate redial attempts) and keep stats on where a user comes from (repeated attempts from a commonly used net block may be treated more leniently and trigger an email to the user's registered address, whereas an unusual address generates a longer lockout and no email to the user).
I've never seen a method over 20 lines that really needed to be that long.
I've got one right now that's 20 lines, just for the setup and return. The meat should be another 20 lines or so. Of course, this is parsing a free-form text field.
Eh? History repeats itself all the time. The main reason we study it is to avoid the mistakes of the past.

I've cut my load down to five cards, and I'm looking to cut further.
IME, two or three should be fine. Get one for daily stuff (no annual fee) and one for emergencies (low interest rate). It also helps to have a mastercard and a visa in your collection in case you travel at all (credit cards give fairly good exchange rates).
Yes, use a bridge that fell down due to a previously unknown property (harmonic vibration) as an example of how construction workers affect the quality of a built bridge.
Kinda reminds me of a MS developer mailing list I accidently got subscribed to. I tried to unsubscribe
Easy solution: set up an out of office message for that list. Every message from the list gets quoted and sent back to the list with some tag like 'Hey look! I don't know how to use my mail client!'. You'll be unsubscribed within the day.
I heard on the radio that they've been selling AotC DVDs in Malaysia for $3. Apparently it's like going to NYC and buying something from the back of some guy's truck, except over there they're poor and can't afford the truck.
Slashdot Mirror
they are demonstrating that monitoring traffic is not an undue burden.
There's a load of difference between monitoring bandwidth usage and monitoring content.

Sure, contractors cost more, but they come out of a different budget and don't count towards headcount. Get with the program.

ignore the Clipper streams and look at the remaining "non-standard" encrypted streams.
So, knowledgeable people will simply encrypt their non-standard streams with Clipper. Problem solved.
Hiro's brand new Yamaha with smart wheels that he drove up to Oregon on, and which later caught Snow Crash and died
Computers can't catch snowcrash, only people. What killed Hiro's bike was buggy firmware.
Or go to Japan, with its stricter gun control, where some guy cut up a class full of children with a kitchen knife. It's not the guns, it's people.

Most PC games out today don't support 5 year old hardware.
The difference is that the Xbox will have the same hardware in 5 years as it has today

That could be a nice Sony freebie, buy a Dreamcast and get a DVD
Surely, you mean PS2?
Sony also has the "home field advantage" a.k.a. Japan.
Yeah, no kidding. Microsoft really shot themselves in the head with their handling of the Xbox problems.
Can please somebody translate super-size in centimetres?
'Le size grande'
why the hell are you using 'class'?
Because this is Java and Java lacks structs

The Dvorak layout is more efficient for typing English text than the standard Qwerty layout
In studies proctored by Dvorak himself. Funny, that
Except, of course, that you never ever ever say sorry.
It sounds like this is going to be a close source proprietary application, but would it be adventageous to GPL it?
What the Hell?! Do you suggest this for everything? It isn't a magic bullet, you know - someone still has to write it.
