huh? i find the blanket statement that your vein patterns can't be copied is extremely naive. looks like they're just reading light patterns, which are not spectacularly difficult to fake. all you'd need is to get someone's scan (which would be on every bloody eftpos machine, locker and doorway you go through) and it's compromised forever.
a good tourniquet and a hacksaw would probably solve it, as long as you went back a bit, probably the forearm and put it in the scanner moderately quickly afterwards.
Yah, great idea, get every single country/state in the world to stop using any DST simultaneously so we no longer have to write software to support it. Sounds way easier.
In my experience (ubuntu 8.04 most recently) the mic volume in alsamixer is actually an *additional* volume control, so if either were set to 0 it would produce no output. may have been fixed by now.
Dunno, for the small subset of apps i use with it (world of warcraft and ventrilo) it mostly involves getting wow running in opengl via it's own config file, Wow still runs in direct x if you don't but it's pretty slow. Since wow should probably have an actual option in it's menu structure to use opengl i'd probably blame that one on blizzard.
Good, i hope i'm not alone when i say creative are a bunch of cockheads, they've pulled a lot of crap over the years and i hope they die. This whole thing makes me want them to die less, but they've got a long way to go.
The first thing i have to do in a new ubuntu install is go to a console and go "alsamixer" and crank the mic up so it might work with wine. Didn't quite happen with 8.10 tho, i apparently have to go killall pulseaudio then aoss wine [appname] now, but i havn't tried it yet. can't wait till pulseaudio gets better
The only real solution is to network all clocks and have them auto adjust by say 10 min a few times during the year. Give it 5 or 10 years and it'll be fixed. Personally i don't have much of a problem with the way it is now, i just miss an hours sleep once a year to get an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon to sit on the veranda and drink beer, but to each their own i guess.
i was going to mod you down for sucking, but i'll just say it in person: you suck. The idea that because something is on paper makes it somehow better is patently ridiculous. Where is the search for a start?
Heh, you ask me for examples to support claims i did not make, then don't provide any evidence to support your wild claims that Google is like a fictional evil entity. I never said that microsoft has breached privacy, i merely stated that they have been evil in general. Trusting microsoft because they have never violated privacy in the past would be like trusting a murderer to guard your safe, probably fine, but i would be hesistant.
The difference, of course, is that Microsoft has been obviously evil for a long time, and google hasn't been sprung eviling it up yet (aside from bundling that toolbar, but as that doesn't affect me personally i don't care, but i digress). On past experience, i trust google a lot more than ms. Despite this google is definately not immune to nerd rage as everyone jumps on them as soon as they look like they're collecting data on anything, so i don't really see how this is unfair to microsoft, they've been bad and people *still* jump on google despite the fact that they've never really done anything wrong.
Yah, if you're gonna correct someone you better re-read your post 18 times before you click submit. It won't help, (mistakes are invisible until they're irrevocable) but at least you can feel you tried.

I'd be happier if they changed it to "News for Labradors". It really is an untouched demographic.
Because he wants to learn IN HIS FREE TIME. What a tool.
I run AVG in wine. how else can i tell if i'm getting the viruses!
You're right. TOTALLY awesome!

heh, i think you mean using *pulseaudio* is just asking for console hacks.

There's more than 2 operating systems, nubbinchops
Guh? when google offers this kind of stuff, people bitch and moan about it for weeks.

probly not, they will be adding new multiplayer units in each expansion to kick you directly in the nards.
Warden's not a rootkit, it probably be classified as spyware tho.
Why not? he spelled it right.

I may be easily impressed, but that would possibly be the most awesome thing ever.
Link for 64 bit version please?
Adobe don't believe in 64 bit. In fact i think their programmers get confused if you ask them to count to 33
bnetd runs on windows... so therefore microsoft hates blizzard OMFG they should make blizz-linux!
