Look, every Joe knows what UFO stands for. As long as these objects can possibly be considered "unidentifiable", they're not evidence at all, they're just freak anomolies.
Consider also, though, that an F16 with no transponder can also be considered a UFO. It's up in the air and moving, and you don't (necessarily) know what it is.
To explain this, I called Pitney Bowes' tech support for their SmartMailer package a while back. (Smartmailer is a bulk snail mail software package that pretty much grinds up addresses into something that is more easily digested by the US postal service and makes the address set compliant for bulk rate discounts.)
I can't remember the nature of the question, but when I made the request of the phone support bank, she had me hold on while she sent off an email to tier 2. And we waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, I just gave up, and ultimately found my answer by just hunting around. This was after 20 minutes of waiting for an email response, and trying to argbue with the front line support person that, despite her protests that this new "virtual" setup was a lot better than the original system, I was utterly repulsed by having to sit and wait for 20 minutes for a response that never came.
To remind people, this is not necessarily the end of MandrakeSoft. United still flies, Worldcom still transmits, and there is even the occasional K-Mart and Toys-R-Us floating around in retail-land.
Considering an earlier comment, this is probably the best idea they've come up with to get out of the contracts with companies who themselves no longer necessarily exist.
When the article came up, I suggested that you guys would wind up plugging this in as an option set to "On" as a default. If (God forbid) Palladium were implemented, or as far as our current TCPA bit, would this be implemnted as said option that one could turn off or on as needed, to avoid conflicting with hardware?
What I'd really like to see is something in RPM that, rather than merely telling me that it needs libfoobar-5.1.mdk (and leaving me to flip back to my browser, hunt it down, download it, attempt to install it, find I need Yet More dependencies, repeat adnauseam), it offers to retrieve it from rpmfind.speakeasy.net and install it - I don't want to have to keep downloading and satisfying dependencies by hand, I'd rather have it semi-automated. (Not fully - having it do everything is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot with a bazooka.)
As much as I like Mandrake, I'm sticking this one in the "Astroturfing" pile. I mean, I understand why Micro$oft engages in it, but the LINUX COMMUNITY?! Please spare me the bullshit!
I predict that AMI will have an option to turn Palladium verification off, much to the chagrin of DMCA fans. If they don't, people who know better (IE, not your typical luser) will start bitching about how palladium won't allow them to overclock their hardware, or run their favorite video card, or run Linux - and if AMI just doesn't budge on implementing such a feature, they'll watch their marketshare fall as geeks, hackers of any color hat, and generally more advanced users move over to hardware that doesn't restrict them from doing what they need or want to do with their computer.
If you're allergic to eggs, you can't take a flu shot. Same will apply to this, I'd expect, unless in the process a) they can isolate the actual allergen or b) the use of this causes unexpected side-effects rendering the product non-allergenic to those who are otherwise allergic to chicken eggs.
If he can think enough to read over the shoulder of your other kids to learn the codes, he is just going to break any sort of fence you put up for him.
In short, follow the RFID lock suggestions given here. That should help out, but it may be only a matter of time before he picks up a carelessly left bracelet.
The internal email at my last job had an autoresponder that popped up a window when somebody sent you an email. It was usually filled in with generic comments like "Thanks, I'll get back to you".
Shortly after the WTC incident, I put 'rm -rf/bin/laden' and was promptly reprimanded for it by my supervisor, who didn't know what it meant. This is the same woman who says telnet "isn't standard" despite RFC 854 being thrown in her face.

Accordingly, I'm filing a patent on "a mechanism to make publicly known the ownership of intellectual property". It's called a "patent".

Never underestimate the bandwidth of...a 747 filled with CD-ROMs.

My wife seems to think that this is an utterly shitty idea.
Only if something possesses you to get in your car and drive the freeways.
By some error, this didn't get posted with the Joke foot. Wonder why this happened.

Go here. That's all I'm saying.
There are now four kinds of non truths. Lies, damn lies, benchmarks, and Windows versus Linux arguments.
In the old C For Dummies book is a little tidbit that was never actually made into a lesson in the book, but was thrown into the introduction:
while horse==dead
{
beat(horse);
}
The weird thing is, I actually caused a northern CA girl to nearly asphyxiate from laughter when I printed this over IRC to her.

(OK, fine, SSH is preferred.)
Public domain is more or less equivalent of abandonware with source.
Holy smokes, what is this world coming to that the Boy Scouts of America has to get in on the Anti-DRM fray!
