Couldnt blackberries have done the same job that the hams did here? They performed a similar service during the September 11th attacks in 2001 when everything else was overloaded
People need to be able to die!
(cuts away to Titanic scene where Jack is drowning)
Jack: *begins to drown* You know what? I think im going to be ok!
Rose: Oh Jack! Now we can get married and everything you promised!
Jack: Yeah about that, I was pretty sure I was going to die uhhh...cause theres this girl in New York and its getting kind of serious. But thanks for letting me draw you naked! I still cant believe you let me do that!
Linux is a kernel, GNU/Linux is an operating environment. There are various processes associated with the operating environment e.g. configuring/installing apps and also the big 'process' security (thanks Bruce Schneier). GNU/Linux is a collection of apps to make an environment, not a process. It is simply a tool to get a job done.
Hmm.. when I first started to learn how to use Solaris, Im sure I would have like a book like this. I could never find (and still probably cannot) find an introductory book to Solaris.
Ok then, instead of coding ssns on the tokens, encode each with a unique key of some ungodly length and then reprogram the voting machines with those keys ?
I dont understand why they couldnt have some staffers sitting at a desk for people when they show up. The staffers have a box of cards (rfid tags ?) that have each person in their districts social security number. Person goes to the booth, scans their tag which says to the system, ok, 111-22-3333 is voting. The system should allow them to pick a candidate (or candidates) and then once they are done, invalidate their social number. To prevent against people from using fake socials, the system should be preprogrammed with its districts voters social numbers. Thoughts?

Arent passwords becoming more and more outdated these days? Isnt the industry focusing more towards biometric authentication and other types of tokens. I think the best way to remember passwords is the 'first letter of every word in a sentence' method.
Now that LCD monitors are getting more and more affordable, of course the better technology will sell over the lesser. As far as laptops over desktops, I believe large corporations account for the majority of computer purchases and from what I have seen in my own company, everyone gets a laptop and a docking station (to simulate a desktop).
of digital media.
The future of digital media will ultimately be a compromise between the consumers and the industries that create the media in question. Sooner or later (probably later), the RIAA/MPAA will realize that draconian efforts to control media do not work and usually encourage piracy. Second the consumers will eventually learn that SOME acceptable measure has to be put in place to satisfy the CEOs and artists. When and how is up to us and them but certainly NOT Microsoft. Software companies should and will conform to whatever standard the public and industry agrees on.
Does this appy to those companies that rudely snap up domainnames and turn them into email addresses or just let them sit there until some sucker pays 10 times what the domain is worth?
There are much cheaper bases and access points that will accomplish this for you (linksys, dlink) and they dont require you to find someone with a mac (surprisingly I dont know someone with a mac laptop). His solution of 'it doesnt reach? spend $200 more!' isnt very adequate for a typical home user
Big Deal. Hotel rooms should basically have a nice bed and nice bath. Personally, if I am going on vacation, I want to spend as much time OUT of the hotel room as possible but when I come back I want to get a good nights sleep and get clean the next morning. This type of stuff is designed to attract the people who bought those old Acer computers just because they had a black case.
Does this affect XM as well? Most of the mainstream radio stations play garbage (except for classic rock:). However most satellite radio stations (XM) or music TV stations (the channels you get with digital cable) usually play a good variety. Anyone know what will happen here?
Sorry, I should have clarified. I just meant to say that if you apply some hack to alter the gamestate, that should be prosecuted just as exploiting a vulnerability on another system would be.

Reminds me of an obligatory family guy quote:

At last, someone quotes Family guy!
The same code works natively on both Windows and Linux without changes? Unless its in pure Java or text based (even then), i find that hard to believe
Could be that they started the app with special parameters to the JVM regarding heapsize, garbage collection etc. Maybe they overshot this?

Probably about the same time that crappy 2 megapixel cameras come down ot 10.99 in price.

Remind me not to hire you for anything. Building backdoors into your code to monitor what is going on? You sir, should be the one imprisoned.

Are they talking about replacing the ports system? I thought that that was one of those most revered parts of the original FreeBSD

I didnt know what it was either. Mod parent and grandparent up

How does it run without batteries?
They seems make a big point that they want OS independence for their system but they built it using User Mode Linux. How will this be OS independent?

I bet you could foil this pretty easy by splashing some mud on your bumper (to look more 'real' :) and over a few crucial digits on your plate.
