Are you also a surfer dude, spent time building bridges, etc. though? Because it sure doesn't look like that guy only did math. His appearance and resume say he's pretty well-rounded. Hell, if you read the article, it almost sounds like he just does the physics because it happens to be something he's interested in and good at between surfing and working.
I think you're talking about Kryptos. There are 4 parts to it, and 3 of them are decrypted. The 4th one has yet to be, I believe. A lot of the problem lies in that people don't have physical access to the sculpture to examine it, and that some of the clues it has actually reference it's physical location, orientation, etc., I believe. It's been there since 1990, though, so that's 17 years.
And seriously, DVD's are only for movies, too. I guarantee you that if blu-ray ends up catching on (over HD-DVD), it'll be used for data as well as video. And the Vaio's probably have a video out of some sort, so they could still display full resolution Blu-Ray, just not on their native LCD.
I want peace on Earth and good will towards men We are any ethnocentric group of people with power. We don't do that sort of thing
There's not a single nation in this world that is completely magnanimous, no matter how you try to paint it. There will never be goodwill towards men unless there are only people who agree, or everyone is completely enslaved and ignorant. The US is a great whipping boy because it's so large, but why not try looking to places where there are serious problems before painting the United States as the only bogeyman in the world, or even the most serious one?
It's only revolutionary if it actually does something completely different. Vista just puts a pretty, more "secure" wrapper on enhanced computing oversight by Microsoft et. al. Vista is firmly positioned against the customer while trying to say it's not, and now those customers are rebelling because even they can see how it's not good for them.
Ummm... that's actually kinda the definition of fragmentation of a pagefile. Where it has parts of itself in non-contiguous blocks on your hard drive. If it's intentional by having multiple pagefiles on multiple drives/partitions, I misread your statement, but if you see the defragmenter saying the pagefile is in multiple sections, then you have a fragmented pagefile.
...why would you want a 4GB swap file? Seriously... there's pretty much no reason whatsoever to have a swap file that big. Your computer will have completely stopped responding by the time you use even a large portion of that much swap space.
Consider that week or so of waiting as a chance to learn a bit about business politics, your company's political hierarchy and start getting things changed. If they don't change, leave. You're the only reason they're staying afloat, if everything technical eventually falls back to you.
Because the US wasn't seizing territory from other sovereign nations, even after the war ended and they theoretically would be allowed to, under the rules of war.
Now imagine a machine with 2-3.06GHz P4 style Xeons, 3 10KRPM SCSI drives, 5GB of RAM and a GeForce 6600GT...;) My computer room has the window open in the winter. Or at least a fan in the doorway to help redistribute the heat.
I trust the kernel devs with commit access to the source repositories. I also trust NVIDIA. That's a MUCH smaller chain of people to trust, with much more well-known motives and identities.
Still doesn't use the Macrovision copy protection. Macrovision copy protection is for games only, as it validates a CD-ROM. There's NO serious business software that requires the CD to be inserted to run.
Uhhh, sure, this is food. I won't feel bad about selling it to you. Oh, you mean it was rat poison? Oh well. Tough cookies. You took your chances giving me money in the first place.
So, is a company not liable when it sells you a part that doesn't function like they said it would? "I sold you that dog, but it turns out that he was malnourished and died the next day? Sucks to be you". Doesn't quite fly. There have to be reasonable limits on disclaimers, and I'd think that a gaping security hole in the system built in solely for anti-operator actions that happened to be WORSE for the buyer/owner/operator than it was originally intended to be really isn't what someone realized was part of the package when they got it.
I just played a lot of Super Mario Brothers 3 last night. It's still a great game, even if the graphics are a bit dated. Great games transcend the graphics. Oregon Trail would still be great for kids to play.
There is a downside to being able to fix your own gadgets, all your bloody friends at some time or another ask "my xyz stopped working, can you fix it?" The proper response to that is "Depends. Can you make or buy me a nice dinner/case of beer?"

So the point is that everyone agrees that you're an idiot?

Belches a few times and then passes out. There are still some compatibility bugs to work through.

Your sig really ought to read:

Don't worry. No one would mistake you for an English teacher ;)

The true question is whether or not you're a Sicilian, and if so, is death on the line?

But... I only thought my freedom cost a buck o' five :(

But what does the compiler run on? It's still a bootstrapping problem unless the PL1 compiler runs on an available architecture.
You get high enough levels of incompetence, and it doesn't matter if it's intentional or not. It's still their fault.
Have you looked into Jack?

"Asphinctersayswhat?"
"What?"
"Exactly!"
