I'm sure it doesn't bother Adobe the slightest little bit that their dear trademark "Photoshop" has in turn become the ubiquitous term for any sort of manipulation, right from the industries down to the plebs. Not in the slightest.
I had one mobo, can't remember brand/model exactly but CPU was an AMD K6-2 450MHz, and back then we ran XFree86 which came as seven gzipped-tarballs (if you compile from source). I think it was file number three that would never gunzip on my PC, "invalid compressed data - CRC error", but the MD5 checked out, so I tried it on another machine and it was indeed fine.(and this is back when MD5 was thought secure)
This machine compiled a lot of source (it was a Gentoo box), so surely if errors like these had been happening frequently we'd have known from heaps of signal-elevens killing the compiles all the time, right?
~24 hours of Memtest86 revealed nothing. Googling at the time found someone with the exact same mobo+CPU having problems gunzipping the exact same file (with the correct MD5), and I wondered if there was some specific bit-pattern in the file (or gunzip's state) that b0rked on my mobo. In retrospect I should have tried Solaris x86 on the same machine to try gunzipping the file.
I don't know to what extent you're criminally liable for causing and accident causing injury or death, but it could be said things like seatbelts/helmets save YOU and ME from heavier charges we might face (on the theory that injuries are lesser and deaths fewer when seatbelts are used)
You've got issues. You should print out your/. comment history as an example of the things you say to people and take it to a shrink who'll hopefully make you better. It's obvious from your need to repeatedly attack total strangers that something is bugging you in life, I know you're not a troll.
Your help will start with staying away from here, and forums like it, so you can focus on your real problems, which I can assure you are not the people you respond to here. You're hurting yourself more than them.
Sincerely, from one stranger to another, please take a moment to reflect on this.
It just pisses me off when cops go speeding down the road as if they can do whatever they want.
Clearly. Oh well, if it's any consolation, I speed, run reds, generally do whatever I want (within sensible reason, anyway), and I'm not a cop, so they're not actually getting away with any sort of 'special treatment' anyway.
But at TFS says, it's a 'safety feature', I'd imagine you could 'turn it off' about as easily as the airbags or that thing that beeps when you're in reverse, and that's not without messing with wiring.
If you could put your anti-authoritarianism to the side just for a minute, while it's possible that the cop was also speeding, absolutely none of the information in the GP suggests this. Even if the cop was travelling at half the speed limit this anecdote could still have played out.
My local supermarket (in New Zealand) forbids photography on their premises. That's if I've understood the sign correctly, a picture of what looks to be a 35mm SLR with a red line through it.
When I bought my MacBook 4 months ago (in the process of giving up using Linux for a desktop) one of the things that worried me the most was iTunes.
I was never a big fan of it, but hadn't really used it that much. What worried me was what so many other people here on/. were saying about it. Not a week into moving all my music to it and routinely using it to play music and organise my iPod, I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's fast enough, does all the jobs I need, and is nice and polished. Compared to Amarok it's a breeze.
I'm sure Amarok would be a better music player if the devs were forced to use iTunes for their personal music collections.
GP is probably reporting Australian Dollars or something similar, the 3.0 upgrade cost me NZ$12.95 from memory. Fortunately I only had to pay once to upgrade all (two) of the iPods in our house. And yes, just to confirm, Bluetooth magically sprang into existence on the 2nd Gen, but was lacking on the poor old 1st Gen.

That's what you think anonymity is!? Dear me.
It was titled the "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory" by Penny Arcade http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/ (and yes, I just added 'Fuckwad' to my spellcheck dictionary)
I've been trying to forget! Screw you!

New Zealand is way ahead of you lot at uniformly shafting everyone, in 1998. Try to keep up!

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a (fleet of) stationwagons full of backup tapes! Mine does 302 Libraries of Congress per Gallon (at sea level)

It must have an FoS of 1.2 then
This has got to be the tenth time the "you only hear about the dumb criminals" has played out on /. this week! Jeez!

I agree completely, and enclosed the term 'safety feature' in quotes primarily to imply my cringing as I typed it.
You obviously don't drive a Nissan. Even when the airbags go off, it sounds like a beautiful fanfare.
You forgot to take his geek card. Kids know this stuff.
But at TFS says, it's a 'safety feature', I'd imagine you could 'turn it off' about as easily as the airbags or that thing that beeps when you're in reverse, and that's not without messing with wiring.
In fact, one of them already is a retired colonel, so they should be safe.

Fixed that for you.

A T1 is only 1.544 Mb/S, I'd say a 4MHz Z80 wouldn't have trouble filling that.
