A 'rights management' patch? My friend (let's call him Joe), who is not entirely untechnical (sophomore CompEng), actually pondered the following when peering over my shoulder: "Probably should upgrade. About time they did something about those damn viruses." He was under the impression that the 'rights' referred to controls he could set. A good name, indeed.
The problem here is that 'kilo' doesn't mean 10^3 (or anything^3, to that.) It means 1000. Therefore, a 'kilobyte' is a thousand bytes, or '11111101000' in binary.

Because encrypted e-mail would make it easier to fight spam and virii! If the message isn't encrypted & signed, it's bounced or/dev/null-ed. How's that for unexpected perk?
Have you ever been to the donotcall website? It just asks for the phone # and then sends a 'click-to-confirm' email. How hard would it be to write a script to submit all possible phone numbers?
While I think it's great they wrote the reply, the content and especially the tone were utterly wrong for a serious rebuttal in any more respectable publication, unlike, for example many posts here. A shame.
What *I* want to know is where the GTA kids got the gun from? Hard to go shoot anybody without a gun. Parenthood really requires a standardised test. "Do you have guns in places that are not only well-within-reach of a child, but also store the ammo inside the clip?" "Yes. Why?" "Give these pills to the missis. Makes her *real* fertile. And have one yourself." "Gee, thanks, doc!"
Why is everyone always putting Ohio down? I mean, it's not as if we're really as backwards as all that, using Watchtowers and crap. I'll have you know, Procter&Gamble's Research And Development Building just produced the first Dragons last week. Bloody useful things, dragons.
The problem most people have with passwords is that they try to *remember* them. That's alright for, oh, four to six passwords for a more technically oriented person, but unfortunately a lot of people are not technically oriented and/or have more than six passwords.
Solution? As with computers, the human brain is an interesting device; and there are always ways around things. I, therefore, propose using a proxy for storing passwords: the motoric memory.
I always use 10-16 character passwords, rule is at least two numbers, two capitals, two lowercases and one special character. I have about 15 or 16 passwords I need to remember, a few of which I change monthly, and while I usually do actually remember all, the method I use for storing the information is in the beginning to actively only remember the first character of the password per each site, and let my fingers do the rest of the work on their own. I usually tap the password in a few times right after I set it (and usually jot it down on a piece of paper if I need a reference -I always destroy said piece of paper at the end of the day I set the password, and until that it's stored in the secret compartment of my change pocket.)
Anyway, they point is: people can walk, run, swim, jump, write, play an instrument. All of those are subconscious motoric memories, and the capability can be easily used to store trivial things (compared to, say, walking, which requires hundreds of muscle movements) like a sequence of keys.
For beginners (the 'cool, my new pc has a neat apple logo on it and it's got an integrated cupholder' folk you work with all day), actual keypress sequences can be devised -for example, left-index, right-ring, right-index, right-pinky, left-ring & right-pinky and so on; however, purely motoric (i.e. non-mnemonic) memory is better in the long run.
Subconsciousness is the key. It works great for me until I can actually remember the password so I don't need a keyboard to write it -and I'd assert most people would never need to remember theirs at all. Of course, I've noticed sliht problems since I started learning Dvorak:)

They have the right to pick up the phone and start talking. Now, dialing a number first, no.
There's the Supreme Court.

If you want to nitpick:
10^3 != 1000
10dec^3 == 1000
---------------
10^3 != 10dec^3

Darl knows some HTML, and he's been working overtime.
1. Have some obscure technical business idea.
2. Ask gullible/nice slashd^H^H^H^H^H^H free consultants to do the hard part for you.
3. Profit!!!!!

Not if all the e-mail addresses used were on the same domain -then the gov't could easily delete those entries.
I wasn't suggesting anything, just pointing out the odd system. I suppose it's a privacy thing.

I saw one of those 'dial-up modems' on eBay once but it was, like, $3500. What were they used for, anyway?
Generally speaking, large cars make 'penises' louder.

Dvorak is hard.
--Amazingly, even economists are now coming to grips with the fact that they've overestimated consumer rationalism.
I was twelve when I realized people were, by and large, idiots.
I don't think the murder charge is going to stand in the first place. The victim's (plaintiff) testimony will probably crumble the D.A.'s credibility.

No, it doesn't. http://www.go-mono.com. Again, the Community does it better, too.
