For those who might ask "What about vibrate mode?", it doesn't work very well well you're female and the phone is in your purse.
Then don't keep it in your purse. Why should others have to suffer the implications of your phone ringing in the middle of the movie just so you can be 'fashionable' or more comfortable or whatever. If you expect that you might be contacted in the middle of a movie, then it is up to you to make sure it doesn't affect anyone else. If you can't manage that, then you shouldn't be entering a public place where there are social norms in place which discourage this behaviour.
Actually this might not be entirely correct. It is actually possible to serve up alternate content to the search crawler to what everyone else sees, just by examining the IP or referrer.
From the article, I understand this is some software which monitors visited sites, and then ranks sites according to this.
For those running the Google bar with the page rank display enabled, every site you visit is being reported to Google. I would not be surprised if they used this information to help rank sites also.
4. Allow this web site to become popular and authoritative, so lots of people link to it and reference it.
Its this step which is the difficult part, how do people find your site? Through a search engine? Its a paradox which unfortuantly can only be solved by spamming / google bombing / advertising etc...
The theory is a simple userspace program can't do that. It can generate key sequences etc, but not the actual hardware interrupt caused by the keyboard when that sequence is pressed. If you can access the keyboard HW programmatically, you most likely have more than 'guest' (or any other normal account) access to that machine. Of course, because your trying to trigger it rather than trap it, if you have access to the machine you can just press the keys yourself.
Along with what Chris said, its also not possible to send 'CTRL-ALT-DEL', something to do with it being a hardware interrupt or something, and can't be forged. Actually, it can't be trapped, but it probably can't be forged either.
But I guess you could always poll for the window and wait for the user to hit the sequence. But apparently this isn't possible anyway:).
Another tool worth checking out for doing a similar scan under windows is the Baseline Security Analyzer by Microsoft. It will also check your system for the latest hot fixes, and seems to work pretty well in my experience.
I always thought the answer was because the manholes themselves are round. Therefore, the covers should be round... But I think the ability to roll them around could be a more correct answer.
If randomizing simply introduces an element of inaccuracy, why not just have the options include a range?
i.e Age?: (0-10), (10-15), (15-25) etc
To me, this is all randomizing seems to achieve in regards to privacy, and overall accuracy of the results. At least then you don't have to rely on the host collecting the results randomizing them, because you would already know the answers are fairly 'vague'.
If you go to the tekcentral site, it links to this story using the IP as well. But yes, he still should have indicated that it was his site, and not 'according to this news article', hinting that he had stumbled upon it or something.
After many failed attempts at spin-off sitcoms, including 'Everybody hates Jar-Jar', Jar-Jar binks reduced to pimping himself off on the streets, but was soon offered a lucrative cocaine deal. Apparently it was nothing more than a sneaky jedi mind trick, and he was later denied the coke. Speilberg later expressed sympathy towards Jar-Jar, having recently been denied Crack himself.
For a slightly more useful mouse mod, check out this MouseFan mod, which will cool your hand as you surf. Seems like something that could even go commercial.
Its too bad I have a cordless mouse and this would drain the battery, otherwise I'd probably do it myself.
I read a lot of claims about it being a silent cooling solution, and yet the parts consist of a pump and a large fan attached to the radiator. Not to mention the already existing HD and power supply fan. These things aren't exactly quiet in my experience.
Then again, I'm guessing that because of the watercooling, airflow isn't of as much importance so it can be stored away in a closed compartment, with perhaps only the radiator sitting outside your window or something. It would be nice to see a hack which cooled the power supply too, though perhaps its not real wise to have water running through such a high voltage component.
Good work. Meanwhile I'm sure MS checked and re-checked their code, tested that it wouldn't break the hundred of applications and versions software combinations etc. As well as assessed the impact and scope etc. They estimate each security bug costs them about $100,000 or something in testing and releasing patches etc. Don't think they don't take security issues seriously, if youve ever worked with them on a security issue (as I have), you'll realise otherwise.
They also reported a loud, growling noise inside the space station. It turned out to be a broken gyroscope that was commanded to spin down and then shut down. One of the bearings apparently seized up.
NASA said the other gyroscopes were working fine and that the failure would not affect the station's navigation and control. But the bad unit will need to be replaced, and the soonest that can happen is early next year.
Because 80%(?) people won't use the mods, and being able to run arbitrary code on an unmodified system will allow people to release 'Linux for XBox' to run on a default setup of an XBox, something I'm sure MS don't want. By not having to mod your system, the XBox comes across as supporting arbitrary code etc, and I guess would increase the legality of releasing your own OS, games etc for the system. (I'm not a lawyer, but even if it doesnt, it would certainly increase the market of such software)
I'm surprised the strangelet story wasn't mentioned as a related link. With the epicenter 4 miles below the surface it may rule them out (?) though.
I didn't feel anything down here in Australia, but it could've come out somewhere else.:)
Anyone else notice the blah/blah and yada/yada login/passwords don't seem to work at New York Times anymore. Perhaps they have noticed the huge number using those accounts and cancelled them.
Use

Yeah thats fine when you are re-installing the exact same software, and you have the time to write all those scripts.
But I would expect that you would be most likely to do something like this when you upgrade some component of your system, in which case the configuration files are likely to be completely different, either because its a different version, or a different piece of software altogether.

Emphasis mine. Looks like they've gone and changed it now. Must be readers of slashdot.

Dunno how they plan to stop people from doing that...

This is a great site for more information on interviewing at Microsoft. It has some sample questions, study materials and testimonials etc.

Try replacing the IP with 'www.tekcentral.org', it won't work.
nslookup www.tekcentral.org

The In Space, No One Knows You Read Vogue story, just two posts ago, had the supermodel report which seemed to already cover this.:
They also reported a loud, growling noise inside the space station. It turned out to be a broken gyroscope that was commanded to spin down and then shut down. One of the bearings apparently seized up.
NASA said the other gyroscopes were working fine and that the failure would not affect the station's navigation and control. But the bad unit will need to be replaced, and the soonest that can happen is early next year.
From the changelog:
-------
[PATCH] DIE "Russel", DIE!
My name is *not* GPL: you may not derive works without approval.
Rusty.
PS. I've also applied for a patent...

I'm guessing he's referring to 'Rusty Russell'? Just thought I'd post it for anyone who missed it, seems a strange thing to put in the changelog.
So why is it there?
