Adverts on some of the popular sites have been known to contain keyloggers, so it doesn't always have to be the UI mod itself thats doing the nasty stuff.
The small amount I've read on this says you can resynch it by giving it 3 sequential codes (@ 1 code per minute). Sounds pretty nifty and a reasonable way around the synch problem.
To take a standard JPEG picture from the command line where the camera is accessed through/dev/video0:
$ streamer -c/dev/video0 -b 16 -o outfile.jpeg...where -b is the number of colors (in bpp, whether 15, 16, 24 or 32) and -o is the output filename that will be dropped into the current directory (specify -o/path/outfile.jpg to place it elsewhere). If you are going to capture multiple images be sure to append the output file name with zeros, as streamer can name the capture files in sequence, i.e., -o outfile000.jpeg becomes outfile001.jpeg, outfile002.jpeg, and so on.
Ummm.. yeah... I know thats not all that difficult (for me and you who know what a CLI is) but you're missing the point if you think a normal use is going to do that.
While they aren't stupid, I don't think they have much fear of crashing. Most racing cars are incredibly safe and the drivers themselves have learned over years of practice to not be scared of plowing into a wall because the fear itself will slow them down.
A few Australian ISP's allow you to purchase extra allowance during the month. Internode for example sell DataBlocks for ~$3/GB that you can purchase to bump your monthly limit. Very handy to avoid the 64kbit pain when you just need an extra gig or 2 towards the end of the month.
I think Internodes SOHO plans charge a set $/gb if you go over cap instead of speed throttle, but they are more expensive than comparable speed/download residential plans.
Removal of attunments and Badge rewards that are equal to or better than Tier-6 level gear, theres 2 *huge* changes that undermine all the effort the hardcore raiders have put in over the past year.
I like how he says Intel can't see the complexity of designing GPU's because they build CPU's, then turns around and says nVidia could build a CPU easily.
We did that on a forum (running phpBB) I was moderating when we noticed a large increase in automated bot sign ups, it's not a real solution. It only confuses the bots that automatically fill out the standard registration form for phpBB, by adding a field it breaks the bots normal input methods. A targetted bot would easily get around the new field, but our forum is no where near worth that kind of effort from a spammer since there are easier targets around ("I only need to run faster than you to get away from the bear chasing us!").
The sad but true part of this story is the smartest bots are smarter than the dumbest humans because we still had people emailing us asking what to put in the text field that had 'Type "Yes" here:' right next to it.
Or you could not throw the plastic bag out the window when you're done with it. Oh wait, normal people don't do that anyway, we either reuse it or make sure its securely in the bin with the rest of our rubbish.
How about the fact that I get someone elses emails in my account (and they probably get mine in theirs)?
As far as I can tell it's caused by Google ignoring '.' in any email address, I have the account [lastname].[first initial]@gmail.com and someone else has [lastname][first initial]@gmail.com (don't ask me how they let us both sign up with the 'same' address).
So we should use diesel that doesn't ignite at atmospheric pressure. Gasoline is still better than having something spinning at high speed ready to unleash all that energy if something breaks. Gasoline requires an ignition source before it gets really dangerous, certainly there are some around during a crash but to me it seems like the flywheel is more likely to release all its energy than gasoline.
If I remember correctly, flywheels store energy proportional to mv^2, so the good ones actually use the rotational velocity to get energy density, not mass. Of course that leads to problems with energy being lost to friction and having something spinning really fast, but flywheels don't have to be heavy to store lots of energy.
Does your belief give you the right to trample on the belief of other people just because YOU believe their belief is ridiculous or illogical?
No it doesn't.
Now consider that Christians ARE forcing their beliefs onto others with laws that make stem-cell research illegal (amongst other things) and you might get an idea of why people make a point of calling bullshit on other peoples ill founded beliefs.
Windows XP can be made to switch hardware without failing, you just need to make it use generic drivers before switching the hardware over which isn't exactly user friendly. The problem is windows XP gets rid of the generic drivers once proper hardware specific ones are installed, so it can't fall back to drivers that work on all hardware. I have heard Vista keeps the generic drivers around now (and will use them as fall back drivers if the hardware specific ones fail) so its (in theory) possible to transplant a Vista install without all the hassle of having to set it back to generic drivers, but I've had no direct experience with Vista yet so I can't say for sure.
How much space is used in all directories with names starting with "f"?
Windows: Select those directories, right click one of them and select Properties.
*nix: magically know that 'du --max-depth=1 f*' is the command i want
Where's the document that mentions Mr Whatsit and Mr Whosit by name?
Windows: Right click on your hard drive in explorer, select search. This brings up a gui with a field clearly labeled "A word of phrase in the file", enter Mr Whatsis there and click the Search button
*nix: magically know that 'find -path / * -e 'grep -H "Mr Whatsit" {}' ' is the command i want
I'm actually not sure those *nix commands will work (actually I think the second ones syntax is guaranteed to be wrong) but that would be my starting point if I had to do either of those tasks on a *nix box. The windows work for sure and I could explain them over a phone in about 5 seconds to my mum. The command line has a big learning curve, you can do things easily once you've done them before and remembered the command name and exact syntax to use but the initial learning period can be a huge problem.
The way I read it they did have 3 shut-off cables, the problem was each of those cables could send the shut-off signal to all 3 control systems. So when one cable detected a problem and told its control system to shut off, the other 2 control systems saw the shut-down command as well and did as they were told.
I tend to consider myself an athiest/agnostic and its mostly because I change my 'beliefs' depending on what I'm reading/talking about.
Sometimes I accept the athiest view that the Big Bang was a random event that created the universe out of nothing. Other times I'll start thinking there had to be something to start the Big Bang and then continue wondering what created the thing that started the Big Bang and what created that being and so on until I conclude it must be turtles all the way down and realise it's impossible to know about any God like beings. Then I fall into the athiest/agnostic state of thinking and realise it really doesn't effect me one way or the other so I don't have to consistently follow either of those views.
The article says that there is a 'slight' performance drop for most users (ie people with 100mbit network cards) and then goes on to say that Gig-E users suffer a much larger performance drop. Comparing your p-233 with its 100mbit network card to a vista machine with a gig-e network is pointless and outside the scope of this bug, a visa machine with a 100mbit network connection can play mp3's fine without degrading its network performance.
My understanding is that IBM has more patents than any other company, whats the chances of them telling Microsoft to back off or face a nasty patent war?

It's possible to slipstream drivers into a Windows Install disk.

Yep, Google parses it correctly, however I wonder how many people would answer (4+1) * 8 = 40?

I'm sure, I have email in my Inbox addressed to [lastname][first initial]@gmail.com (with no . in the address when my email address does contain the .)

Compare this article and one posted earlier (http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/19/2121226) to see the difference FOSS makes.

It must be getting easier to filter spam, you can just pipe it all to /dev/null and get it 95% correct!

Yes, it's possible to create and destroy matter, it just gets transformed from/into energy.
I think a bunch of people way smarter than me have evidence that the Universe did not exist before 15 billion or so years ago.

Where's IBM?
