(B) "Auctioneer" means any person who engages,... in the calling for, recognition of, and the acceptance of, offers for the purchase of real or personal property, goods, or chattels at auction either directly or through the use of other licensed auctioneers or apprentice auctioneers.
Under Sec. 4707.02. it reads (in part):
No person shall act as an... auctioneer,... within this state without a license issued by the department of agriculture. ...
This section does not apply to: ...
(B) The owner of any real or personal property desiring to sell the property at auction, provided that the property was not acquired for the purpose of resale;
Now, IANAL, but to me this says that Ebay need to be licensed and to post the bond, not the seller. The seller is contracting Ebay's services as an auctioneer.
I suspect that unless those non-geeks are buying in very large quantities (e.g. 200+ units) Intel will never notice. They won't listen until the corporate buyers start saying "We need an open source bios or we go with AMD."
You got it backwards.
You DISABLE the evil bit. Enableing the evil bit allows people acess to things like child porn and naked pictures of Oprah Winfrey and the like.
Now you're just confusing the crime with the punishment!
Software does stuff on, and to your computer, so you want to know exactly what it does. Who knows, it might wipe your data, or other evil things. Art isn't going to do that
Biometrics always looks so cool. Unfortunately, it has some distinct liabilities. If an issued security token is compromised, you just invalidate it and issue a new one. How do you do that for fingerprints? I suppose you can switch to another finger. But you still have only 10 tokens to choose from.
The other liability is that of durability. How well will that fingerprint reader work after you cut you finger slicing veggies? Or get a splinter or a paper cut?
Voiceprints suffer similar problems. I use Dragon Naturally Speaking to dictate large reports as I can talk much faster than I can type and it minimizes CT issues. Last week I had a bout of laryngitis and while I felt ok, the software could not understand me.
Well it all depends on where you live. You'll rarely, if ever, see a dog sky in Phoenix. While here it rains cats and dogs roughly monthly. If you're not a "dog person" you do not want to live in Seattle... you'll be hip deep in puppies!
Where my boss is from pig skies are apparently quite common. Whenever I ask about a raise, he ways "when pigs fly!"
If it's away from Paris you'll probably have a very nice time
According to my friend Paul, it's not the French, it's the Parisians. (The lucky bum got to live in Geneva for 4 months on expense account.) During his stay, he made numerous trips into France and almost without exception was treated very well.
He asked some of his French coworkers about the "rude French" stereotype. They explained it was just the Parisians and that they're actually rude to anyone who's not Parisian. Including other French.
Unfortunately, Paris is probably the most visited city in France, further promoting the stereotype.
The dummies can show how bones will behave in a crash and possibly to some extent internal organs. They cannot show how the skin will respond (eg, will the airbag give you a split lip or facial abbrasions).
Just to pull out the same old, tired example once again: why won't America sign up to the Kyoto treaty? Because it would cost 'America' money - I put America in quotes, because it isn't really America, only a few ultra-rich American corporations that might or might not lose a bit of profit. And of course America aren't the only ones, just the most talked about.
The sad thing is it really wouldn't cost all that much. In the US, some of the states (California and Connecticut in particular) have their own pollution restrictions that are stricter than the federal regs. Even if you don't live in one of those states you can buy a car that meets their requirements. It costs about $80 more. It sounds like a lot until you put it in perspective of automotive prices: $35,000 vs $35,080.
The manufacturers wail and moan about the cost. But, if the fed said all new cars sold after January, 200X must meet such and such standards, they would just pass the cost on to the consumer. So how are they losing money? The automotive industry's focus on the almighty dollar is disturbing. It wasn't all that long ago that a US manufacturer was sued to the tune of several million for their exploding minivan after it was revealed that a part that would have prevented the explosion (cost ~$11) was omitted as a cost saving measure. An internal memo indicated the manufacture decided it would be cheaper to pay lawsuits than to increase the cost of the vehicle by ~$11.
Unless they were very high profile, how would you know? I'm only an occasional poster and I've never actually met any of my fellow/.'ers. If I was picked up and hauled off, how would you know? I'd just be another member who stopped posting and answering email.
I'm not saying this has happened, just that if it did, you might never know about it.
So in other words the life of airplane passengers is depending on the fact that technicians regularly change the oil in the airplane's engine or not. Thank god nothing really bad happened during this problem, otherwise some smartass would have blamed it on the tech that forgot to change the oil.
Except, only Windows 95 needed this periodic reboot. And, this was a bug, not a documented feature. So a better thought experiment might go something like this:
Supervisor: On all aircraft the oil must be changed for every X hours of engine operation. But you see that plane?
Tech: The one with the window painted on the tail fin?
Supervisor: Yep, that's the one. Every 49 days you need to take off the prop and put it back on.
Never use biometrics to control access to critical data. Barring such silliness as using toeprints, biometrics allows you 10 credentials (or only 2 is using full palm prints).
If your RSA key is compromised, you can just generate another. You can do this as often as necessary. However, if you fingerprint is compromised, all you can do is switch fingers. Nine compromises later, you're SOL.
Now for ordinary folks who just use this to keep others from messing with their laptops, this isn't an issue. However, if security is critical, biometrics just won't cut it.

Isn't it frustrating when no one gets your reference?

I'm trying to decide whether this is brilliant (as in "it takes a thief to catch a thief") or sheer stupidity (as in a "fox guarding the henhouse").

Does it help to think of it as "Protective Custody" from the lynch mobs? ;-)

And there have been people hauled in on some pretty outlandish charges

And, yes it's fairly easy to fool a finger print scanner. All it takes is some Krazy glue and a Gummi bear.
