If they banned LiIon batteries on planes, hoards of irate businessmen would become more of a nuesance than any terrorist threat. And you'd probably have to have a lot of the batteries to fully saturate the air, and I don't think anybody would risk it enough to make a bunch of passengers nautious.
I remember a piece of software called Cursor Beacon for System 7 back in the day. You would type a keystoke and something flashy happened around the pointer. Haven't seen anything like that for modern OS's, though. And you'd have to make an application out of it nowadays, what with the demise of extensions.
jeez...someone has waaay too much time on their hands...
I think it's time better spent than just playing games. I mean, at least these hackers are learning something about computer architecture. If this was done by students, I would bet that they're going to find a more welcoming job market if they've already managed to port an entire operating system to unsupported hardware.
Just now, I tried this again with Peak 4 DV and Amadeus II, and provided the application provides support for AAC either through quicktime or whatnot, the file opens up as a fully editable waveform. You can then save to whatever. If you try and open a file you don't have permissions for and the program uses Quicktime in the process, Quicktime will prompt you that you aren't authorized for the file, and the import will contain silence.
Note however that the importing process takes significantly longer than usual, I don't know if this is due to the AAC format or the protection. And my only experience working with the files is on the mac, perhaps it's different in windows.
It has a bad connotation I guess, but folks are using it as a way to explain how this is useful as a marketing device. Kind of like the old "getting your foot in the door" analogy. But that one brings up connations of shady salesmen peddling their wares... Eek!
Quicktime is Apple's media processing layer. You'd rather they came up with seperate processing procedures for every media app they make? Final Cut Pro is reliant upon Quicktime as well, that's why they give you a pro license for it in the box. If Quicktime sucked on windows previously, it will most definately be getting better if only because Apple will want iTunes to perform better.
We all know the real reason that FEMA is opposing powerline broadband is because it will make it harder for UNATCO to sieze control of the global information network once Helios becomes operational.
They're probably just using one of the plethora of grayscale lcds on the market, rather than designing their own "slower" lcd because they don't need the extra response. I don't remember where but I saw a website where you can just buy screens used in the myriad of consumer electronics, they have a pretty good refresh rate so they can be used in more applications, like Gameboys and whatnot.
In the national constitution it states that that "Congress may pass no such laws..." it doesn't flat out say that anybody making such a law is wrong, just that Congress as it exists at the national level cannot do that. State legislative bodies wouldn't necessarily be dictated by a clause referring to the national legislature.
At least this is how my high school political science teacher explained it.
The I-Pass lanes greatly increase traffic flow by eliminating a bottleneck, so I could see how the cost could justified. And don't forget that in many toll plazas, the roads need to be reconfigured to support the express lanes (tearing up and moving concrete is expensive) and all those little boxes with the radio transcievers have to be distributed for free to the taxpayers. And they probably needed to pay the engineers who designed the system. So I can see where some of the money would go, at least.
Wasn't Microsoft forced by the courts to discontinue Windows 98 support, due to a licensing dispute with Sun or something? As much as I like to see Microsoft screwed in the courts, it kind of makes trouble for some end users sometimes...
Unfortunately it isn't. I just had to perform said task for my CS173 class. I guess maybe it could be funny, because now I can go up to anybody and say "133t3r than thou" or something...

Wouldn't it work pretty well to establish a pre-determined OTP generator? like, the winning lottery numbers last night
Yeah, but then the NSA would figure out how to systematically win the lottery every time in an effort to break the one time pad!
No game yet but some folks are working on a Quake 3 map viewer for The Cube () at the Beckman Institute. The cube is a six sided room that closes in upon entry, while 3D images are projected on all sides. With about 400 square feet to move around in, and active 3D glasses this is about the most convincing holodeck I have seen.
Yeah, these services are apparently running by default, as I've just had to turn them off. Also, the way Apple set up the network control panels is confusing to the user who wants to make his computer more secure. In the Sharing tab, there's all the services there which you know you should turn off if you didn't need them. I didn't realize that NetInfo was running additional services, controlled by an additional application/terminal command.

Heck, 2pac is dead and just look how many new songs he's making.
"...remember..."
Never heard of that language before, therefore it must be the future!

You do not need to burn to CD and rerecord to remove copyprotection, just open the file up in a sound editor and save as whatever you like.

This is precisely why I'll use a mac and not windows.

I would think that the digtial synths would cost a lot less than analog whatnot. Most musicians I know don't have that much money.

That can't pass, that would be an ex-post-facto law and be illegal under the constitution, assuming state constitutions mirror that clause.
Heck, I run Kermit in the OS X terminal on my G5 to log into my university's course scheduling program. Very quiant.

Yes, but how fast can it do the quarter mile?
Pac-Man VR is an actual game, not too disimilar from what is being discussed. It was made in the late 1990s.
