A password means nothing if everything stored is not encrypted by a key derived from that password, are you saying that everything on a Blackberry's drive is encrypted and therefore unretrievable if the password is lost?
Nail on the head, though Im still holding out for an MMO based on Fallout or Baldur's Gate, Ive always hoped that someone would make an MMO with as much depth as either of them...
Exactly what I was thinking when I read this. Everything WoW does was done before, WoW just happened to do it better and marketed it in a way that appealed to more people...
I have to agree with you about the Deleks. The first time one appeared in the new series' was excellent imo, but each other time has been lame, especially the last time, a Human/Dalek hybrid? Oh dear...
Theres also BookCrossing.Com, which is more or less the same thing but without the idea of points, you actually leave books lying around with a note about the website and hope that someone finds them...

Am I the only one that sees the irony in this statement? God carrying out Darwins theories? Im sure those intelligent design nuts wont like that one bit...
Why dont you re-read it too. The first statement says he only uses the Windows box to play games or do work that requires Windows, then the second statement says he only use it to play games 'period', implying he doesnt use it for work, or anything other than games.
I think you'll find that almost all art made before the 20th Century was made to make money or on commission, and just looking at the prices that a lot of contemporary artists charge for their work shows that money plays at least a small part in it. The only artists who go on about "art for arts sake" and "dont sell out" are the ones who were never good enough to actually create anything anyone would buy....

Or they could have just said 'volcanic winter' like the Wikipedia page they link to.
Shake it baby
I wonder what the carbon footprint of Seti@Home is...electricity doesn't just grow on trees you know...

And, as with any discussion of security, the least secure thing in the building is the Windows...

I guess its possible it could have been a 'joke'. Not a particularly effective one though...
You really should try Googling it before attempting to be clever...
The recreational use (i.e. not for date rape) of GHB isnt that rare, certainly not in some clubbing scenes...
Thats what the flying spaghetti-monster wants you to think...

"Good politician" and "decent human being" are mutually exclusive...

Which seems to be the reply when anyone says anything negative about any open source application...ever...
"Janurary" 2005? Someone needs a spellchecker...
The fact that she changed her sex to female doesnt make her a woman? Thats some odd logic you're using there...
African or European lifes? Laden, or unladen?
