So you have a pile of fruit, each with this sticker. If the chemical these stickers detect is a gas, how do I, the consumer, know that the sticker changed color because *this* fruit is ripe, and not the one next to it? If said fruit was tossed in a crate and shipped, would all the stickers turn?
The only modern computing devices I can think of that keep its OS is ROM are PDAs like the Palm devices. However, that fits only one of your 10 criteria.
Those are dye-sublimation printers. Hands down THE most unreliable printer on the planet. The spool would sometimes get a crease or wrinkle that would put white lines down every page until the spool is unwound enough to remove it.
Had one of those in my pre-college retail job. Piece of crap.
From what I remember from the recent slashdot article, the Zyxel phones don't work with WIFI systems that require you to log in, so you can't use them at a starbucks or similar, only on open WIFI systems or for ones which you have the WEP key.
If the man in the middle manages to get both public keys, he still can't decrypt either side of the conversation. You need the private keys for that. That's how public key encryption like PGP works. The public key allows you to encrypt a message that can only be decrypted by the private key.
Heh, everyone's got a list of jobs they hated when they were younger. Just making a point, apparently WM doesn't give a rats ass about what sort of fake currency passes though the registers.
BTW, Here's another Airport code for your sig.

As someone who was a sales clerk for the largest retailer in the world, I can say that they certainly did not train us in any way for counterfeit detection. Our orders were to take the bill even if we had doubts, and then let someone higher up the chain of command deal with it.
Care to support that argument? I use Winamp 5 and have found zero instance of it trying to connect to the internet for anything, and I have never had a plugin not work.
It's not quite the same thing, but The Onion (Not News at all, but still) is free to residents of Wisconsin. Their online service however, is subsciption based if you want to read into the archives, or get rid of the ads on the page.
There's always some modernization that happens when a movie is released. People now know much more about what is possible. A movie critic elucidats the point rather nicely.
"...Parker is very quickly bitten by a genetically enhanced spider. (Updating the original comic book, in which it's a radioactive spider. Wouldn't that be funny now? SCENE ONE - Peter is bitten by radioactive spider. SCENE TWO - Peter dies from radiation poisoning. THE END)"
But, no matter how faithful a movie stays to its source material, purists will still hate it.
Last I heard, Sony is cosidering switching to MP3 for their portable players.
With the new Hi-MD players allowing for file storage on their 1Gb discs, it might not be too long of a wait for the type of device you mentioned.
Doesn't the US copyright holder give his permission when he allows his product to be distributed in Russia?
It's stated that ROMS (the Russian RIAA)gains the distribution rights automatically when a foreign company distributes their music in Russia.
And also, if such rights are, in fact, restricted locally (Russia), isn't it their responsibility to limit what countries can access their service, a la iTunes?
I'll concede that this is quite a grey area, but if it was so cut and dried, you'd think the RIAA would have grounds to prevent them from selling to Americans (though I'd wager that it's 100% legal in Canada, due to the media levies.)
So that CD I imported from europe because the US publishers were taking too long was illegal? Interesting.
I decided to do some digging around myself and found this.
"Now lets look at the US law. You can legally acquire music from anyone who has a legitimate right to distribute it. You can buy from a iTunes, because it was licensed by RIAA, you can buy it from Canada, if it is licensed by CRIA, you can buy it from Russia, if it was licensed by ROMS."
If it's legal in Russia, and the Artists do in fact recieve a portion of the proceeds, as stated in the site I linked, I'm having a hard time seeing the illegality of it. Granted, I'm sure the RIAA would tell me that it's illegal, but is there any proof?
I don't know, those freebie jacks that come with your spare tend to be a bit complex compared to a garage jack. Also the owner would need to know where the safe spots to use the jack are, or risk damaging a side panel. Also, don't most cars have the security lugnuts these days?
How good did you feel when you discovered that the Linux kit is basically useless?
I have to ask though, after buying/supplying a Ps2 network adaptor, hard drive, keyboard, mouse, memory card and monitor cable, wouldn't it have just been cheaper to buy the whole kit from Sony? Granted, they don't sell it anymore, but it was only $150.
Wal-Mart's wireless equipment uses 900mhz. I don't know what protocol that might be, but that's what the machines proclaim on boot-up. This is probbably less a security choice and more likely a result of older equipment.
As an ex-employee of said company, I can verify that the gift cards have magnetic stripes. The number that you need to call to check the balance is hidden behind a scratch-off spot.
There already are PalmOS viruses. See here for an example. The key difference is that PalmOS has had only recently gotten any sort of wireless connectivity. So these virus all spread via human intraction (i.e. Hotsync of an infected file, or IR beam of an infected file).
Give it time and there will be ones that spread via bluetooth or WiFi.

And everything still has a use. Fly ash, for example, is added to concrete to make it stronger.

Article says it weighs in at 20 pounds. That's nothing really.
Well, the Russian K-19 nuclear tragedy actually happened, but it wasn't a meltdown. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/k19/

Sheesh, the mod blocks off three or four of the boards PCI slots! Who needs a RAID or Wireless card when you've got such high graphics power!

Horrid Spelling errors aside, you've got a point.

How exactly is it illegal for us? Wouldn't that be something along the lines of "importing" your music?

My KLR reports 2,157,590 users sharing 31,694336 GB of data, that's as good as Kazaa Lite ever was.
