Are you telling me the prying fingers of a toddler couldn't open the flap on a VHS tape and rip out the magnetic tape?
hehe..the child of a friend of mine thought the slot in the VHS was a receptacle for the remains of his peanutbutter sandwich. And then said child (tried to) put a tape in after it.
That was only to point out that you don't have to actually completely blind someone, esp. a pilot, to make the situation very, very hazardous. A temporary blindness, when on final approach, is bad enough.
If its coming more or less directly towards you, the apparent velocity goes waay down. And aircraft on approach are not going 600. More like 250.
You don't have to completley 'blind' them, as in burn out their retinas, to be very, very hazardous. You can try this yourself. Remove the brakes from your car. Drive at high speed, at night, on a crowded road.(Crowded, to simulate the workload of a pilot on approach). Have a friend shine a high power laser into your eyes for a few seconds. (Said friend will probably want to be on an overpass, rather than in the car with you.) If you live, repeat the exercise a few more times.
A rifle round in a large aircraft will probably not bring it down, or cause anything more than a small leak if it hits a fuel tank. If that were true, WWII bombers would have been far more susceptible to being shot down. As it is, it takes quite a few holes, and maybe a couple through the cockpit/aircrew, to do any real damage.
You can change it to search all files, either through properties in the Search Preferences, or a registry change. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Control\ContentIndex and set FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions DWORD value to 1
'Default',being an original XP 1.0 installation. From your quoted page:
"To resolve this problem for the following file types[1], obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP or install the "Windows XP Application Compatibility Update, October 25,2001" from the Windows Update Web site" [1] being a looong list of file types
Apparently, this has not been an issue in XP for over 3 years. Win2000 never had this issue.
Never said they proclaimed to be 'perfect'. And yes, that is a VERY low incidence of (reported) problems.
However...completely removing the possibility of doctors being held responsible for their actions is not only wrong, but insane. "Wrong site, wrong patient" is exactly what malpractice is supposed to be for.
I agree that it is far too easy, nowadays. Let's change it, not eliminate it.
To bring back sanity to the medical system, we need to keep patients from being able to sue doctors or hospitals for malpractice. We need to make sure that those who are trusted with our health have all the tools necessary to get their difficult job done, so we need to end the insanity that is medical malpractice lawsuits.
And before we can get to that point, we need to insure that doctors don't actually perform malpractice

If it's encrypted, how is my WhatEver player supposed to know how to decrypt it?
And if it doesn't have to decrypt on its own, once I move it out of the encrypted realm, I can move it anywhere. P2P, torrent, whatever.
Or will this trigger a new round of hardware buying. Only an approved, decryption capable, iPod can be used...
FTA, this appears to be true. "The basic idea in recovering from cracking is to make a compromised player key obsolete. Compromised players could continue to play old discs, but not new releases. And crackers would have to start all over again." "there are actually two keys--one is on the disc itself, but it doesn't work until it is decoded by a second key installed in each player."
GMail wouldn't do it, even though there's no threat to user privacy here...
Without a court order, Google has no way of knowing that the laptop was actually stolen. You (and your buddy in the PD), may be running a scam, or trying to stalk someone.
That got me thinking: someone (laptop manufacturers) should run a phone-home service,
Blogs are one of those things that I am absolutely shocked have gotten so much attention.

And the record companies are tired of people getting them for nothing.
There's a middle point. We just haven't found it yet.
In Cincinnati, OH, at least. They started trials last March, and are slowly moving it into new neighborhoods.
So? You weren't going to play wma files anyway, were you?

Would you be willing to have a laser shined in your eyes, from a mile distance, while driving your car at speed?
I have a working RT-707. Sadly, the poor thing is in need of new heads. The -909 was sweet. Although I think the consumer Revox's were better.

A pilot in an aircraft on final can assuredly see the ground. And someone one the ground can see him.
I think it's a bit farfetched as well. But evidently he did do it. So it is possible.
In a car, you can stop, blinded or not. In an a/c...you don't have that option.
I think I said that
"a couple through the cockpit/aircrew"
And he hasn't gotten 25 years, yet. That is merely the max possible.

The charges together carry a possible maximum of 25 years. He has not been convicted, nor sentenced to the max.
We shall have to wait and see what comes out. The judge and/or jury probably has wide latitude in the sentencing.

Nonsense. .pl are simple ascii. Searchable just like anything else.

Searching on text within Word and xls works just fine. It is, however, relatively slow, as others have noted.

Actually, they really want to move on to the next step, encrypting your ears and eyeballs. After that, the brain.
