Right now her at work I have a 21" CRT & 20.1" LCD which gives me the same aspect ratio of the CRT. Now I can get a 20.1" LCD for about $600. I could even see the use of 4 in a rack.

Yea, or your local WalMart and get a TracPhone. They don't ask you who you are. When that number is traced, where is it going to go? I think real criminals will just go to this method.
I'm not assuming. That makes and Ass out of U and Me. ASSUME.
Seriously, why then would law enforcement get a search warrant or become involved at all in a civil matter? Did this man break a commit a crime? I don't think it is clear to me one way or another from the story I read.

I'll second that. At over 300 meg for one of their(HP) drivers for a toy all in one thingy, most of it was just pure crap. I think HP's higer end stuff may have better drivers, but man most of this consumer level crap from just about anybody has got to be the next best thing to spyware.
The SCP command does not have any way of handling cases where a file is transferred between machines of significantly different architecture, although that's interesting.
Thanks for the info. I've only stick welded with an old Lincoln. I'm sure that the AC would have to be high frequency or it would shock the hell out of you. I still haven't quite figured out why DC can be just as dangerous as AC though unless it was pulsed (on/off or high/low amps). It looks to me like DC would only have one chance to get you. AC would have 60 chances per second Hz. The TIG welder if it was 10-15kHz would probably go around the outside of your body like static electricity.
BTW, doesn't lightning have a return stroke too? If you are in the path of an arc then yes DC can kill you. Maybe it can also do the same thing at higher amps, but I think AC can kill at lower amps. Like I said, I don't know if I'm right, but I do know I've been shocked by AC much more.
--So, why do we use AC almost everywhere? Transformers.--
I guess I've got a lot to learn. Doesn't the phone company use DC for the phone lines? That goes just as far. Actually I heard that a phone line is DC for voice/data and AC for ringing. Can anyone set me straight on that one?
Well of course AC would be pulsed at 60 cycles per second, I think. Pulsed DC would be converted from AC without good filtering. I'm not much of a welder or hardware guy, but I know that pure DC comes from a battery for sure. The level of pureness from converting from AC to DC would depend upon the power supply.
I've probably not got this quite correct. I was just curious how DC could shock you worse than AC at the same amps. I'm sure someone with more knowledge about the subject will correct anything that I don't have right.
--The only minor problem is that DC is somewhat more dangerous than AC - if you touch a live AC wire you can pull away from it more easily than if you are in a DC circuit due to the effect on nerves.--
What kind of DC are you talking about? pulsed DC or pure DC? I've done some stick welding and never got shocked from high voltage DC.
--Uhh, the whole freakin' point of a small business is that they don't do business in multiple states.--
The small business that I work for does most of it's business out of state. My brother sells software all over the world from a tiny little web site and that's just one man.
I think the thing for a small business though would be to just comply with the strictest one. Then they would be in the clear elsewhere. I don't think small business are going to be the ones with large datbases on just about everyone. So this just seems to benefit Micrsoft at the momement.

The abacus was first. About 500BCE, I'm guessing, maybe older.

God told me to do it, so it's OK.

How do I know that you aren't lying?
Bush:
Trust me...
I think this is how a lot of wars get started.

How much do you pay? I need a job.

Exactly..

--This case is in civil court, which is just a "preponderance of the evidence". I think this one will go in favor of the defendant--
Which begs the question of how the police should be involved if it is just a civil case?

Nah, they'l still be making money off of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and stuff like that.

Real men FTP files from the command line anyhow.
Well, it seems to me like multiple ports at the same time could be added to this as well.
That's exactly what I think will happen as well. History has shown this many times in the past.
Yes, pure DV would be a flat line on a scope. I wonder how much electricity doesn't have some sort of signal/noise on it.

You can't download a demo but you can send off for one.

I guess this is so that that have a record of where you really live.
Most people that are into this kind thing generally use a USB key for that purpose which is easy to get rid of.
Yes, the guy in the article must have done this as a joke to raise awareness of the USPTO's being broke.
