I suspect that if that particular area was crop-dusted with the bacteria, the result would resemble a raggedly cut electroluminescent strip and be visible from space.
OK, this might be mean of me to say, but here in Oz I called my monopoly 3.5G telco (Telstra) and asked them to disable my phone's data service. I left SMS and MMS active, because they're not accident prone. It took 5 minutes which included hold time and a friendly chat with the operator.
The base model Chinese-made Telstra-branded rubbish phone has a custom firmware and the browser button cannot be re-programmed, but many of the other phones they offer like my Nokia E51 can be. The easy-to-accidently-press BigPond button now launches the camera app.
I downloaded the demo a couple of weeks ago and when I went back to buy the full game, the sale had started. I still paid full price though, because it's quite easily $20 worth of fun.
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. My point is that the cameras log the plates, not the people.
They change to another vehicle as soon as they're out of sight of cameras and witnesses. It'll take time to work out the changeover, if ever. They can use car parks, shopping centers, mass transport, deserted areas, etc. Hey, take the magnetic plates along, there's lots of blue 2005 model Camrys around, there's probably a score within a minute's drive of where I work. It might not be discovered for days.
This is not a tracking system, it only gives hits on time, place and direction. What happens between those hits is unknown, and there's a delay in use of the system.
The vehicle has at least a couple of minutes before it's entered into a live tracking system. By then, the vehicle might be in a locked garage and the people are long gone.
The investigation is then like any other - the camera system has been just as helpful as any witness who saw the vehicle drive away from the scene of the crime, no more.
You mean the license plates they stole/duplicated from the car in the airport long-term parking garage, which is the same model and color as the getaway car they stole last week?
Serious criminals will work around the system, and dumb ones will still hide out at their girlfriend's place.
Other ways of getting "clean" cars include carjacking, holding families hostage, or simply killing the owner(s).
The ability of the owner re-value and pay the back-taxes allows for negotiation. Of course, the re-valuation must be dependant on the sale completing. Then again, you could re-value to 100 billion dollars on every offer and effectively sit on the patent until it expires.
Unfortunately, pretty much any system can be gamed.
FYI, there's a live patch available as a link[1] in the Debian bug tracker which modifies the exploit to patch the vmsplice() call with a RET as the first instruction. Run it at boot and you'll be fine, unless an attacker can jump to the next instruction instead...
Kiss goodbye to your subdirectories and hidden files, then there's those nasty spaces and shell escapes, and... OK, I'll stop now, there's too many things to guard against. Using rsync and a wrapper to parse the arguments comes close, but there's still problems with "illegally" named initial files and directories.
I can't supply a reference, but an armoured car company which goes into bankruptcy can't count the cash and items in it's trucks as it's own. They must be returned. A vending machine owner still owns a machine located inside a bankrupt business.
The contract specifies SCO as Novell's "agent", which is a carefully chosen term which Novell's lawers used to protect their revenue stream against this. 100% of the UNIX fees are paid by UNIX customers to Novell, with SCO as the collection agent. The 5% to paid SCO is a collection free paid to SCO after Novell gets it's 100%. At no point is any of the UNIX license fee SCO's. They do not "keep" 5%. The money is never part of SCO's assets, and so cannot be part of the SCO assets which are owed to it's creditors. Oh, and because they failed to do this, they "breached their ficudiary duty", there is a real chance that they may not even get paid that 5%.
The fact that SCO kept the fees and treated this money as theirs is called "conversion" and has been ruled to have taken place. The hearing starting on Monday that this BK pre-empted was due to set the amount which SCO kept from Novell, and that amount would probably have been greater than SCO's current assets.
Now I get to downgrade two Sun x4200 machines, and do a clean stable install on a new pair. Here's hopeing that the SAS RAID is recognised as sda rather than sdi. GRUB was not happy!
With no air flow in that section of ducting, the paper has no way of getting hot enough to ignite. I doubt it would ignite anyway, but what do I know. Our yearly minimum temperature here is about 13 degrees Celcius....
Just realize it's a little late to spring into dad-mode when they hit a telephone poll at 100mph killing their girlfriend and paralyzing themselves
Killing themselves is simply evolution in action. The girlfriend is complicit in her own fate, unless she was held in the car against her will. It's the oncoming vehicles/pedestrians/etc who are innocent bystanders who you should feel sorry for.
I can't understand the hand wringing over the hoons who kill themselves, and I include the passengers in that category. If the driver is unsafe, don't be in the car.
Perhaps I have a overdeveloped sense of self-presevation, but I don't allow someone to endanger me even if they are one of the "cool crowd" or a "friend".
I'm also a sysadmin, and I have the same issue. However, these laws won't make any difference, as backing up the tracks off a user's fileserver area is an unauthorised copy. You see, the user is the licensee, not the organization.
The policy stays. Our expensive snapshot server, tape library and tapes have better things to do than take thousands of copies of non-corporae data.
You think that the users have enough clue to delete the raw rips when they convert to MP3? Hah! At 2CDs per Gig, they add up _real_ fast, and 143Gb FC SCSI disks are neither big nor cheap.
Now, if only we could get them to re-scale the 6Mpixel images _before_ insering them into powerpoint....

You left a few things out. I'm sure there's more to add, too.

Seriously people, pull your fingers out.
Then again, it could have been a 1 minute vote and then 89 minutes of pin-the-blame on whoever's not there.
It is kind of sad that it took them this long to finally burn through all their cash on lawyers.
That would be Novell's money you smell burning...

I'm with Exetel, and pay $60/mth for a 36Gb/48Gb ADSL2+ plan. The speed is around 9.8Mb/920kb, which is not bad for my distance.
The downside is a bundled $25/mth phone plan, but that's roughly what I'd pay anywhere else, so it's not that important.

It's the other way around. xCCCC is not a valid number in perl, so the loop will never exit.
