I can't get rid of the Cingular logo but that's about it.
That could be a SIM card feature, not a phone one...
I noticed that my T-Mobile Nokia 3390 displays a T-Mobile logo which appears unremovable, but dropping my Australian SIM card into it results in the default Nokia logo... (I picked up a cheapie prepaid phone when I was in the States, and had to unlock it to allow use of other SIM cards, but the point stands...)
Anyway, if your handset is not network locked (and by definition, Nokia's aren't - if they complain, they only need a standard code to unlock them) try dropping in a friend's SIM from another provider and see if the logo goes away...
Actually, to me it says that there are plenty of lost sales which are completely independant of illegal downloads - If you have 20 real licences, you already have the installation media.
What this tells me is what we already knew - people can pirate stuff without resorting to downloads... We've seen this happen for many, many years before the infamous September, with swapped disks, etc.
So, while "most downloads" may or may not have resulted in sales, there are plenty of lost sales out there...
(5) how big a contract they could get with Dubya's Department of Homeland Security for their data being included in the MATRIX program.
Hey - you might be on to something there... I was wondering what kind of research they might have been doing with a small sample of card info - DHS monitoring seems to fit the bill perfectly...
If you mount before you fsck her wouldn't you run the risk of screwing her up?
It's true that if you mount without protection while fscking, you are vulnerable to bloating the system, and causing instability - poentially screwing everything up...
That's why, if you're going to do that - use protection! If you mount her read-only you can be sure that you won't leave anything behind in the filesystem... Then you can fsck safely...
The Tom's Hardware article makes it sound like we can get both detailed info about the internal hardware APIs and the DRM systems used in the PSP by reading the P-code for some of the avaliable libraries on the disks...
Yeah, you're probably right - but if you're already engineering A and B so that the sums collide, it shouldn't be too difficult to ensure that they also end at a block boundary.
They tried that in the Middle East.... There are (were?) two shared regions between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, which were set up when they couldn't agree on their shared borders. These regions continued to be hotly contested, and in many circumstances, increased the hostility between the countries.
Sorry, I don't have a link handy to explain more...
What's even funnier about that, in this particular thread, is that the Summary includes the statement: "The same technique is... applicable to... SHA-1."
So it's not just that slashbots don't know that MD5 and SHA-1 are based on the same algorithm, but also that they can't read the summary which tells them that their favourite "solution" won't work!
And, to think I used to come here for the insight... Nowadays I come here purely for the entertainment value...
Hmmm.... when you say "content + a random string" are you talking about an appended string, like a nonce?
Because this attack is invulnerable to that - MD5 has a lovely property that if A and B collide, then appending the same random string to both A and B results in another pair of collisions. So it is not enough to append a random string to the document before signing.
I always liked the way that arxiv.org dealt with this matter. It clearly says that it will initiate a seek and destroy against your site, if you visit a certain link.
If you do go there, it initiates a countdown.... I've never stuck around long enough to see what happens when the countdown finishes... I like my internet connection just a little too much for that...:-)
I don't know why you would pay twenty bucks for a 1.4" LCD when you can get an LCD and the rest of the camera for about twice that.
I suspect that they mean that they would pay $20 for an LCD to play with just the LCD - not to have a 1.4" LCD camera...
When the PV2 (the earlier disposable LCD still camera, which morcheeba is referring to) came out, I did the same thing; picked one up, disassembled it and removed the LCD to play with. Only thing is, I've subsequently been too busy to touch it - and it doesn't help that it has a "tricky" interface system (pdf)... I will get around to it one day, I'm sure...
If either of you have the inclination, you may be interested in other tools available to reduce her dependence on the drugs... (Disclaimer: I know nothing about the condition beyond what I read in books and the scientific press...)
It discusses the successes that several groups have had developing self-directed therapies for OCD, Tourette's Syndrome, and depression, among others. While this book is not about the therapy itself, it does describe the workings of the process. (I believe Dr Schwartz's other books go into more detail about the processes, if you are interested in them.)
Apart from one chapter, (chapter 8) which takes a diversion into quantum physics and philosophy,the rest is an interesting look into what we can see of how the brain works, and how we can use our mind to affect the way in which our brain develops. The philosophy chapter is safely skipped if you do not have an interest in how neuroscience lags physics in it's understanding of the mind/brain duality.
I realise that there are probably thousands of self-help books out there targeting this market; this book is not one of them... (It is actually focused on the philosophy aspect - it just does a really good job of explaining the experiments, the results and the conclusions of two decades of neuroscience before it gets to its main aim...) I was really impressed with what the experiments imply about the mind's ability to manipulate the development of the healthy brain - but the direct application to the treatment of brain-related troubles is clearly spelled out too...
Just a thought... I read it, and it sounds like you might be interested in it... Especially reading some of your contributions in the philosophical beliefs thread...
Of course, if you're happy with how things are, there's probably no reason to screw around with what works...
PS: I just looked it up: the "self-help" book describing the process is "Brain Lock", also by Jeffery Schwartz. I have not read that book, so I can't offer on comment on it.
Why wouldn't you set the "reader" module (which is polling the Geiger counter) to only read in increments of 1 refresh interval? Although this reduces the bit-rate which you can get out of the generator, it means that it now fully approximates a "perfect" Geiger counter.
It is simply a matter of knowing the limits of your system, and designing around them.

element formed by the decay of Neptunium and is similar in
chemical structure to Uranium, Saturnium, Jupiternium, and Marsipan.

I thought so too, until I read these articles:
The problem with music (a.k.a. Some of your friends are probably already this f****d.)
Bye, bye, a piece of the pie
which are good when read in conjunction with Courtney Love's infamous speech to the Digital Hollywood online entertainment
conference.
And certainly no-one would get away with more than a couple of victims either...

It's a good thing that we don't have 19 year olds with no experience writing our operating systems then, isn't it? :-)

Also good it the way arxiv.org fights back.

I picked up this book at an airport the other day:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/006
"The Mind and the Brain", by Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Sharon Begley
It discusses the successes that several groups have had developing self-directed therapies for OCD, Tourette's Syndrome, and depression, among others. While this book is not about the therapy itself, it does describe the workings of the process. (I believe Dr Schwartz's other books go into more detail about the processes, if you are interested in them.)
