Problem is, you would have to write to an NTFS volume in order to remove the viruses. There is a method to do so using the ntfs.sys driver (or whatever it's called), but I don't know how well tested that it.
My buddy has a large collection of VHS tapes, and he wants to get them on DVD to preserve them and make the content more accessible. I tried to convince him to go for a file server box with a large hard drive, possibly a RAID array.
How do slashdotters recommend the preservation of tapes?
Yes, but the feds can't go the the daisey wheel printer manufacturer and say "which printer of yours makes this unique pattern?", whereas with the vendor embedded watermarks, they can.
Well, they can still ask the daisey wheel vendor, but they will get an "I don't know" answer.
That's not correct. If the machine spits out a receipt that the voter can review before submitting, and those receipts are later used during an audit, then a paper trail effectively trumps cheating machines.
I'm thinking that it's because dolphins, as social animals, aren't nice to freaks, and would probably harass her and her new toy, even to the point of destroying it.
I would argue that flying cars solve a problem that doesn't exist. However, if nuclear waste is a problem, and Yucca is a false solution, then I will bet that some smart person will figure out an answer to it. We've already seem some solutions, such as vitrification and subduction, in the article's thread.
I'm serious, and I'm not just poking fun at copyright. See, mine would be for free, on a website. No need to purchase CDROMS, and it's dynamic. New issues are posted regularly, as they fall into the public domain.
I was thinking about digging up old National Geographics, scanning the text and photos, and posting that online. It would make for a great distributed project. However, Nats from before 1923 are rare and expensive. I wonder if I can find them at libraries...
"It's the height of irresponsibility to assume that our children will be smart enough to solve a problem a hundred years from now whose solution has completely eluded us."
Yeah, because history shows that the past two centuries have been nothing but *stagnation* in terms of technological development.
"...prosecutors throughout the country now worry about juries that refuse to accept eyewitness accounts or even outright confessions..."
Hey, that's great news. Do any cursory reading on eyewitnesses and you will find out how utterly untrustworthy eyeswitness accounts are. I think the only reason we have them are legal tradition, and the naive belief many people hold that eyewitness accounts are more reliable. As for confessions, they are easily coerced out of people in exchange for lighter sentencing, or to stop the beating, etc.
Remember, prosecutors build careers out of delivering justice, i.e. finding a bad guy to scape goat. They really don't care wether or not that person actually is guilty. If someone confesses, or a decent eyewitness says "that's the man", no prosecutor will question it. That way it looks like they are doing their job and justice is served, as long as someone is punished for the crime.
I'll take a jury that puts more stock in scientific evidence than someone's story anyday.

The American people are so gullible these days, that the current administration is afraid that if they broadcast Bin Laden's message on any news channel, folks will eat it up uncritically, just like they do all the other crap on TV news these days. Thus it will lead to the downfall of this administration

That's probably true. I, for one, use tabbed browsing, but I would like to see the tabs at the *bottom* of the window -- down near my task bar, where all the other window changing widgets are.
Wtf does Robert McHenry think he is? Here's a clue -- it's not monkeys posting to wikipedia. It's actual intelligent human beings, just like him. And if he's smart enough to recognize Shakespeare and edit Encyclopedia Britannica, imagine if we had a million Robert McHenrys editing the thing. Well, we're almost there, kids.
If you can afford to put up the money for the X1 projector, then no, you aren't missing anything. However, if you only have $300 to blow, then I would go with the overhead projector get-up.
I heard that he originally published it as 'linux', but wanted it to offically be called 'freax', but the name linux had already caught on, a release with the name linux existed, etc.
You say it's 'broken', because current workers pay for current retirees, but it was designed that way. It's not a 'ponzi scheme', it's an insurance program. Just like when you pay your car insurance every month, it doesn't go into a little account for you, it goes out to pay existing claims.
The problem is that when it was first developed, few people lived past 65, so it really was more like old age insurace than a retirement account. But these days, since most everyone lives past 65, the system will be strained to handle the baby boomers. They will have to push the pay out age past some age that not so many people get to.
That makes me really sick. I grew up in Gahanna. I live now in Columbus. I'm really fed up with Ken Blackwell and the Republican party. They think that election fraud and vote tamering is fun and games. I think those people should be executed for treason.

The best technology is the one that wins. VHS is case in point. I heart the free market.
Wow, I never knew there was distributed network to solve the BeOS and NeXTEP data sets!
I'd like to, but my host won't let me.
I think it's quite the other way round. Males clearly parasite the female species.
