I did that once for the studios here at KBYU radio and TV, they work great.
I hate replying to my own post but ah shiz, you know... I didn't click, to see who you were replying to. Next time I'll do that, heh! my bad? It looked like you were replying to this guy here
Off topic now, but I kinda like Provo. Even if it is 90% saturated with LDS kids, the area I live in (800 N to 600 N right under campus) is 99.99999999% of our faith. It's a bit of a relaxer to be surrounded by people who for the most part share and actively keep standards not too unlike my own. Not that I relax my standards, but the fact that I am being scrutinized by non-LDS people for detailed stuff sometimes is stressfull.
They associate "Mormom" with being a really good person and one "bad day" or mishap can give someone the view that we dont care or something along those lines.
I mean personally, when I see a Hindu (indian religion that believes cows are sacred I think, correct me if I'm wrong) being publicly awesome about his religion, then find him at mcdonalds leaves me to be skeptical in a number of ways.

Lighten up a little 'brother'. All good humor has its quirks, but if you're offended for something like that one has to wonder what you AREN'T offended by.
I want to mod you up so bad but I haven't a point so I have to reply telling you that was one of the greatest 1. 2. 3. 4. Profit jokes that even FIT with the current religious thread!
This was a great and true art of trolling and by golly it was BEAUTIFUL!
instead of some cert authority, how about just use PKI on the server level. You get the email with the digital signature of that particular server, that servers public key is available via a mesh network of keyservers, then you only accept from people on your whitelist, and only from those on your whitelist.

"Microsoft has set aside a $5 million fund for paying off informants on malware authors
Maybe microsoft should pay the money to themselves and redesign their software
You know, if the next version of Windows(TM) pulls what Apple did with their OS X, built a bsd underbelly to it and didn't allow backwards compatibility outside of a sandbox of sorts I wouldn't cry. Then it would be possible to secure the system and hopefully they'd get rid of their god forsaken registry / file and drive permissions / insecure nature for the most part.
It won't be infallible, but simply less insecure for the current vulns out there.
Then again, MSFT might implement this shiz so badly and incorrectly that we'd be stuck with a bunch of new prolems of which we haven't a clue to fix.
someone point that out to me, bandwidth isn't a problem, waiting a couple of days for it to be officially released isn't a problem either. i just want to know if now is a good time go download the dvd iso or not.

In a Road That's All Eyes, the Driver Finds an Ally By IAN AUSTEN
ABOUT 12 years ago, Martin Dicks was trapped in dense fog during a harrowing four-hour commute to his job as a firefighter in central London.
"Virtually all I could see on the road was a cat's-eye reflector every now and then," Mr. Dicks said, recalling his trip down one of Britain's major highways. "I figured that if I could make the cat's-eyes more visible, I could probably save more lives than I could in the fire service."
A back injury forced Mr. Dicks out of the fire department shortly afterward, giving him the time to pursue that goal. His training as an electrical engineer provided the necessary skills.
Now, after perfecting illuminated markers that are embedded in the road surface to guide motorists through bad weather or warn of dangerous conditions, Mr. Dicks's company, Astucia Traffic Management Systems, is going a step further. Its latest creation is an embedded stud equipped with a camera that catches speeders, monitors traffic for criminals or stolen cars and even checks for bald tires on the fly.
"Nobody knows it's a camera or a speed trap," Mr. Dicks said of his latest creation.
Mr. Dicks's original idea was quite simple in concept. He wanted to create an illuminated road marker containing its own power source, a solar cell. At night or in bad weather, light from approaching vehicles would generate enough power to light up the marker, which consisted of light-emitting diodes. An illuminated marker would be more visible than a plain reflector, and the idea was that a car passing over the markers would cause them to stay illuminated long enough so that they would provide a warning trail of lights for any vehicles close behind.
The trouble, at first, was the technology available in the early 1990's. Photovoltaic cells were not as efficient as they are today. And at the time, Mr. Dicks recalled, "the concept of a white L.E.D. was nowhere."
Working mostly with family members at first, Mr. Dicks produced a prototype marker within two years. He dodged the white L.E.D. problem by combining the glow from red, green and blue arrays. The group not only overcame the limitations of solar cells, but also managed to engineer markers that turned red to warn when the gap between two cars was dangerously small.
Mr. Dicks said the technology both impressed and alarmed British government highway officials.
"They were frightened about everyone using the product on roads from one end of the country to the other," he said. "They thought it would make their budgets disappear."
The first markers cost roughly twice the price of conventional embedded road studs. As a result, their use was restricted at first to especially fog-prone or dangerous sections of roads as well as crosswalks, including some in the United States.
Mr. Dicks was not the only person with a desire to illuminate to road markers. After a friend struck and killed a pedestrian in 1991 at a crosswalk in Santa Rosa, Calif., Michael Harrison developed a system that uses flashing L.E.D.'s in the road surface to make crosswalks more visible. The company he founded in 1994, LightGuard Systems, now has about 700 installations in the United States.
A study of 100 illuminated crosswalks by Katz, Okitsu & Associates, a traffic engineering firm based in Southern California, estimates that adding the blinking L.E.D.'s to crosswalks can reduce pedestrian accidents by 80 percent.
The original Astucia markers were glued onto the road surface. That left them vulnerable to snowplow blades and to constant pounding from car and truck tires.
Mr. Dicks wanted to put the markers into holes drilled into the road surface. The key, he said, was finding self-healing resins for the top lenses that would be flush with the surface and subjected to much wear and tear.
"It's like running your fingernail on a rubber sheet," he said of the plastics' behavior. "The mark it leaves goes away."
true, but if you use a real download manager like CLI based wget for win32 (Site found here, direct link here , getright or download accellerator that directly downloaded to a directory of choice, you could get around that.
Yes, people aren't going to want to use wget b/c it doesn't have a GUI, but I'm working on a plugin for IE, mozilla and opera that enables a GUI w/options etc for the windows and nix platforms.

ActiveX == Browser Plugins. Mozilla allows plugins, so there is NO difference.
You couldn't be more wrong and here's why:
XPI installer will ask you ONCE if you'd like to install a plugin without any custom text that lies to you and says to view our website click here.
ActiveX pops up 20+ times before it goes away.
Slight difference in my mind.

Not really. What better way to find out "about" someone when their pub key is in their "about" page.
Though, linking to the downloads page would make sense to the geek in us.
