I'm pretty sure it was meant to be a "subliminal message" given the nature of this article. So you weren't supposed to notice it enough to respond directly to it.
Just go buy some shares of lnux, and you'll be fine.
That's funny, every computer in the world scores a 10.0 on Microsoft's test. I guess they're all secure! Whew, I don't have to worry about security any more.
Oh wait, I found the source code for the test: if (OS == Windows*) {
cout >> "Your computer is secure. Score 10.0";
}
Great, now I'll get in trouble for reverse engineering...
I saw something like this in an arcade in Las Vegas on the strip. You were instructed to stand in a circle facing a big screen TV, where Virtua Fighter was being played. The controls were really simple. Cameras detected movements forward and backward, jups, kicks, and punches. You had to hold your arm or leg out for a bit longer than normal to register, but it worked pretty well. I'm very out of shape, so was winded after the game... and then I found DDR for the first time. *whine*
cp would probably preserve the mega-huge filesize, so you wouldn't get anywhere. cat file > newfile *should* ignore all the empty space after the 1500 or so bytes that he wants to keep.
Of course, I have no way to test this right now, so I leave it as an exercise to the reader. (:
Of course it doesn't work as a backup. It's not meant to. Ghosting is a way to install one copy of Windows on one computer, get it set up the way you want all of your systems to look, run the sysprep (to clear the SID), and make a ghost image. Burn that image to a CD, and get it out to a bunch of other computers in a one (or two) step install, quickly and efficiently.
And suprise, suprise... if you change the hardware, the ghost image won't work. It's not meant to.

He's wrong, if that was his point. Somewhere around 75% of all ticket sales (yes, even after the movie has been in the theater for 3 weeks) goes to the movie publisher.
Why do you think popcorn and soda is so expensive there? That's where the theater makes it's money... not from the actual movie itself. The only thing this "boycott" will do is allow people to use theater passes that aren't allowed in the first couple weeks. Woo.
Simple, they have a 5 second loop of memory/tape/whatever that is recorded over and over and over. When the tape stops recording, it's full of the last 5 seconds of driving.

They spend 24 days forming a union, demanding equal rights for black and migrant workers, spend another 4 days deciding what kind of bricks they should make the wall out of. 23 more days are spent trying to determine which company should provide the bricks for the wall, then they all rest for 8 hours (lunch break, you understand) and finish the actual construction of the wall in 25 minutes.
The Book of Gord is the journal of a guy named Gord who runs a video game store. He details exploits of throwing customers out, thieves, liars, cheats, etc.. He sells mod chips for playing import games, so he could be arrested for this.

I think there was an article (comment, really) a while back about someone who inserted a "bug" that would only appear with a precise set of commands or keystrokes.. something that wouldn't normally happen, but the error would indicate who the author was, so he could come back and say that he wrote it, assuming his company edited his name out and re-released it without his permission or something.
----- 10.1% of 12-17-year-olds who actively download music from the Internet did not purchase a single CD or cassette in the last 12 months.
Or 90% 12-17-year-olds did purchase CDs even though they actively download music from the Internet. In other words, the record industry is having excellent penetration in a market where most of its audience doesn't have a paying job. As for the other 10% can you honestly assume all would have bought CDs if there were no file trading? -----
That says they're only looking at people who are downloading music. The sector of the population who is not downloading music isn't counted at all.

Of course, you have to say it with the really scratchy pissed-off sounding voice, or it just won't do any good at all.

Too bad it's got a faulty motivator.... what about that R-2 unit?

I back up my entire network nightly to /dev/null. It takes almost no time at all, and I don't otherwise use the 'mv' command nearly enough.
I read on the interweb that that's how you're supposed to do it... They wouldn't lie to me, would they?
