>No part of this law applies if you broadcast a vulnerability to a list of people who can't fix it
Why do they have to fix it? They can switch to a backup, or they could turn it off. They know what's at stake and decide what measures are appropriate, not you.
You could have added MS with FAT32 and NTFS. The problem is we're not talking about filesystem cluster sizes, which are software-configurable, but the disks' actual sector size, which is hardware that HFS+ has no effect on.
>Are all the voting machines running approved code?
That's why the hypothetical engineers have logic analyzers, to see what the hardware is actually running. The whole point was that it's not worth it when having the computer print a human- and computer-readable ballot is so much easier to verify and safer.

But you can have lay people there to observe this going on, whereas you'd need some engineers with logic analyzers to really track everything a totally computerized system is doing.

What stops the insurance company from raising their signup fee to include the check, and raising the fees of people who do not submit to having the check made? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The whole controversy was that it's a copy of (the very real) PearPC. Even if CherryOS never gets released, PearPC still exists. The ones who thought it was vapor are totally clueless. Like this guy:

Maybe they're deleting stuff only when they need the space for other mailboxes. If you get much more legitimate mail you'll probably find that it edges out first your spam and then your delete messages. If the majority of their space is full they'll probably start deleting stuff sooner, too.
Even if you aren't implicated at all, a warrant to search your property is reasonable if there is reasonable suspicion that you possess some evidence for an existing case. Why do you think it implies your guilt?
Do you think the FBI did not issue a warrant? The article says they issued a court order, which sounds like a warrant. British law is probably common enough that warrants are not formally defined, anyways.
>,but I've often seen sales clerks spending a lot of time refilling the paper rolls, dealing with ink outages, paper jams
If nothing else, working a POS job has made me understand that there is no ink. None. The printer uses no ink. Once you come to accept that, then refilling/reseating a roll in ~3s is no problem. It's not rocket science.
Some say that you think Kerry is not much better than Bush, because his platform is somewhat similar. They both appear very right-wing to me, as a foreigner. Some also say that you advocate voting for Kerry to people who live in swing states, because at least Kerry's not Bush.
So, if Kerry wins because he's not Bush, and he is indeed similar wouldn't that harm the Democrats in a subsequent election? Vote for Kerry, because you can't believe he's not a Republican, or vote for Bush because he is a Republican?
Given the choice between Bush throwing his second term and Kerry keeping the status quo, at least Bush's successor in 2005-2008 would probably be a democrat other than Kerry.
None of you guys seem to know what it is, so I'll spread what I know as a 4th-year CSc student taking a course that involves PlanetLab in the first project.
PlanetLab is like Akamai. Each "node" is a server somewhere on the web. You can write a program and, if PlanetLab approves it, you can submit it to be run on some nodes. The set of nodes you get access to is called a "slice", and each of your sandboxes on a node is called a "sliver". I said it's like Akamai, in that it's distributed and when you run your program you'll be able to load-balance for shortest latency, etc.
IPv6 is an orthoganal issue, because PlanetLab is just an application-layer thing. Right now we're writing a toy program that does a traceroute from each sliver to a target ip, and that's pretty much the same whether it's IPv4 or IPv6 afaik. Intel and my prof keep hyping it like it's totally new, but bring up Akamai and they admit it's been done before.
It's simple. If the loonie gets more expensive, it becomes more expensive to trade with us, so trade goes elsewhere. If the loonie depreciates, then it's cheaper to trade with us, and we get more money. If we keep the loonie slightly lower than parity with the US dollar, then we're a better deal, and everyone wins.

When I signed up the fine print was short and clear enough:
"Cancellation fee applies to early Rate Protection plan termination".
I'd double check that before blaming Telus.

Ogg can do 255 channels.
AAC can do about 48 but not only do you have to buy a license to make a codec, you pay per channel that your codec supports.

This is a small form factor PC, though, so the PowerMacs are in a different class. The G5 iMac is closer, and is technically a lot worse off.

My $70 Ti4200 runs Doom 3 fine at 1024x768, just not the DX9-level shaders.

So what? It's the user's choice to make.

>the VP3 codec was unencumbered as of Sept 2001, which means anyone could have implimented it anytime in the past 3 years.
They did, and they called it Ogg Theora.
Overpasses, four-leaf clovers, etc. are expensive. Putting one of these in is less expensive, and works almost as well in their tests.
Why should they? Use these on freeways with overpasses for pedestrians and bikes.
