The Intel version of OSX will still only run on Apple hardware. You won't be able to just install it on your windows box. (Yeah, someone will come up with a crack that will let you run it on a "normal" wintel box, but I doubt that a lot of the hardware will be supported)
At the college I attend, when doing attack/defend simulations, students are only allowed to defend. It "looks like we're Hacker U" if students are allowed to be on the attack time. You might want to consider this, depending on how sponsors/whomever might view this event.

Technological progress seems to lead to a society that has nice things...and not much else. Even now, the internet is more of a global shopping mall than it is a place of information exchange.
I would assume that by "sandbox" they don't exactly mean "a virtualPC session". I think they're actually trying to run it inside a debugger, so that they can disect what the code does. Apparently this program uses some system call that debuggers don't allow, or something like that.
Because the movie has to be done on time, and it is difficult to guarentee that enough CPU time wil be available from a folding@home-type distributed network. Users may turn their PCs off, get bored with it and decide to give/sell their unused cycles to a different project, etc.
On many consumer-grade broadband routers, the "serial number" is actually that unit's MAC address. Using this as the password would be baaad...'cause you can find out what it is pretty easily.
Ummm...
the non-classified things he was able to tell me is that the DOP can be adjusted a very wide range to the point that even DGPS can be rendered pretty useless unless both recievers were in very close proximity
DGPS = Differential GPS.
"windows" is not a generic term in the computer world...when an application pops up a dialog box, most people would say it pops up a "window". A window is a generic term for an application running within a box on a desktop, or a dialog box, or something like that. These have been called windows since long before Microsoft started calling them that. So while "Microsoft Windows" is a non-generic piece of software, "windows" are generic objects in the computer world.
The P2P network would not be checking to make sure you had a license anyway. It would be your job to make sure you're licensed, under this scheme, or else you might get sued. You could hop on any P2P network you wanted to, without a license, and download music, but you could find yourself on the wrong end of a lawsuit that way.
When you buy software, you are actually purchasing some sort of license agreement to use the software, and not the bits themselves. The recording industry needs to tell the consumers what license they are purchasing music under, and what right they do and do not have in relationship to the music they buy, if they want to treat that music as data. I'd certainly like a formal definition of what I can and cannot do with my music.
Then why do you have to use LILO, GRUB, etc. to boot linux. why can't you use the windows bootloader? because it only loads windows. Couldn't this also be done with linux?
Slashdot Mirror
let's just say for common reference point, controlling a Macross style Veritech fighter in robot mode
Because that's totally a common reference point.
Your wife or nosy neighbor could simply feel the hood to see if the engine was warm.
That's only appropriate if you're documenting python code...

Except that this isn't free. $0.75 connection fee + $0.07 to $0.15 per minute.
Dude...I think you missed the joke...

This IS TFM

Sounds interesting. Documentation?
If you do this, they will simply start putting stuff on other pages of the wiki. This happened to a wiki that I frequent.

"This may be why many scientists are athiests, it just helps them put aside broad assumptions."
Assuming that there is no god isn't a broad assumption?
IT could deploy one machine for two cubes, cutting your hardware budget, and support in half!
Actually, I bet it would increase support costs, not to mention the fact that if one box goes down, two users can't work.

I've seen this done as well. I think it only works if the drives are the same type (same CHS paramters, etc.)
You mean "BDSM". Hmmm...FreeBDSM...

Sounds like he took lessons from "comical Ali", the Iraqi information minister, in "how to deny what is obviously going on with a straight face".
