Such a machine is probably configured to be in kiosk-only mode, so either it isn't possible to fix it w/o the magic admin keystrokes, or attempts to bypass that security would get one swiftly evicted from the store if not arrested.
The problem is that D2D isn't going to pay for copies up front, instead they'll cut checks for as sales are made. Retails purchase large lots up front, then potentially return the ones they don't sell. The large influx of cash is attractive to game publishers.
Combine a Tripwire-like tool with a computer-immune-system like CFEngine, add in a Change Control workflow that isn't too painful and you'll be in good shape. Reconcile the Tripwire reports with the change control paperwork to check that changes are being properly recorded in the workflow.
The server admin or ISP can log all traffic (/msg, channel text, etc), and popular channels often have a bot that records and publishes all traffic as well.
How can I encrypt my emails so the person recieving can read them, but everyone else can't?
PGP and compatible tools. PGP Desktop has a free trial. There is also GnuPG, a free & compatible alternative, but the GUI might not be as polished. The recipient must also be willing to use one of these as well, and have set it up in advance of receiving an encrypted email.
There is also S/MIME, an incompatible standard. I believe Outlook supports it, but you have to get a certificate from a 3rd party for that to work (excepting setting up your own CA, whch is more work).
I certainly understand a front-line rep being able to reverse charges their company made, but for a Verizon rep to test that the locatecell.com site worked with one of their 'test' cellphones
(or any phone for that metter), they would have to enter a credit card # on the website for $110. This sort of external payment is not something a call-center rep would be allowed to do.
I once thought I'd take a short nap before a college final since I had studied for it and was tired. Woke up 15 minutes after the test started (oops, set the alarm clock for PM not AM) and ran across campus to room X. Got to room X and the test was for the right class, but wrong section. Turns out my test was in some other buildingbuilding, same room #. Flew back to my room to find the right building, then back across campus to furiously complete the test. Scored respectably, have had occasional nightmares ever since:>. I practically tattooed the finals location on myself for every subsequent final, and took NO naps prior to them.
I haven't read the '9/11 bills' in question, but I believe the parent poster is saying that one interpertation of them is that the president has this power.
My understanding is that switches don't do ARP -- the routers does the ARP, and the switch floods the packet to all ports in the VLAN if it doesn't know where that MAC lives. Switches learn MACs as packets pass through them -- they don't get the data themselves.
It is quite possible for a piece of gravel to bounce a fair distance after falling of a fast truck. I've personally witnessed this -- I was lagging behind a gravel truck with just this situation in mind, yet a piece of graval still managed to fall off, bounce off the road, and leave a crater in my windshield.
A company buys an 'enterprise' Linux distribution exactly because the rate of change has been slowed, and that they don't want to internally manage the code updates. Redhat has priced their offering based on what they know they support, so if a client wants support beyond that they have to pay for it. However, support for a open source product has an upper bound - the cost to hire someone full time to support it.
Equivalently, if a company standardized on Debian Stable, then its going to be harder to get a patch with a new feature into it.
You can mitigate the problem by demanding hardware locks to keep your equipment from walking away, and locking cabinets for storing sensitive information.
The jabber protocol is not end-to-end encrypted by default. The client/server communication can be encrypted using TLS, but that does not preclude the server from eavesdropping. If you want to protect against server eavesdropping, your client needs to support some sort of message (not just protocol) encryption. Psi supports OpenGPG, I don't know what the other clients support. You may have to use the same client as your contact to get that part to work as there isn't a defined standard for that layer.
FOSS programs generally don't have to connect to a 'license server' or have a paid-for 'license key' entered in a magic config file or dialog box. There is also not normally a hologram or fancy piece of paper that must be presented upon request.
You evidently don't recall Riker manually piloting the Enterprise in Star Trek: Insurrection via a rather fragile looking flightstick.
When I was playing Eve I had a hard time understanding the scale of the ships. Many of the newbie ships had surface features that seemed fighter-like in scale. It didn't feel like a capital ship.
It was pretty good, but the content additions turned out to be less then exciting, so the drive to fight over the same bases in the same places on the same terrain evaporated. At a lower price it'd be worth it, but as a full price-per-month MMO one feels the need to play it all the time, and it doesn't grow enough to keep one's interest.

Now, go make that same change on 100 servers, without disturbing the other contents of the file.
RCS is great for single-server applications or one-off config files, but it doesn't scale really well to large applications.

What do you think of IRC, is that recorded?

I'm surprised that a tech support person would have the authority to charge $110 on a random website to verify your claim.

It costs nothing to publish SPF records, and publishing them does not require you to treat incoming mail any differently.
NTP has promised to exempt government employees from the shutdown, so noone in congress will be impacted: CNN link about it.
Sounds a lot like A Tale in the Desert
Everyone can set up their own IRC server, but IRC servers don't automatically talk to each other. IRC links need to be negotiated.
Jabber servers are designed to connect to each other in an ad-hoc fashion, so no negoitation is required.
Oracle can do it both ways, but if you provide a XML schema to Oracle it will 'shred' your document into tables that are efficient to process.

CFEngine is an excellent tool for managing OpenSSH or any other system tool configuration.

Keepass can also auto-type the username and password for you, so copy / paste isn't even necessary.
I suspect the difference is that you probably didn't require the parent to pay 2x the cost of the item as a penalty.
