people have been successfully convicted for exactly this...
The zero-risk to yourself approach is to do nothing. Next up is the anonymous letter, and the continuum extends right up to admitting you've used their network...your choice where you draw the line.
you're renting a suite on the first floor. the other five floors above you have to get their cables in through the same risers you use. rip out *a single cable* that breaks something upstairs and you're looking at a lawsuit for lost productivity and the swift application of the Cat5-of-9-tails from several BOFHs.
Even worse if you pull something like a fire alarm cable that isn't immediately noticed...
"What good is a "cool and good looking" device if you have to throw it away in a year and a half?"
After a year and a half *all* of my cool and good-looking gadgets are either stuffed in the back of a drawer, sold on ebay to fund some other electronic tat I don't really need, or otherwise not in use. That's the point of them.
...exactly right. the thermal inertia in a room full of kit is huge and what you don't want is an aircon system where a sysadmin can tinker with the settings: these things take time and experience to set and temps can take 2 days to settle after a tweak. get HVAC to put it in and lock the controls, otherwise you'll have people turning it up because they forgot their coat, turning it off because it's noisy and they can't concentrate etc.
What, you mean like RDS which just about every car radio in every car in europe supports?
Interesting side note: one of the features of RDS mentioned in my car handbook is the "Disaster Alert" function that goes off in the event of another 3 mile island. Helpfully, if I don't want to listen to the 4 minute warning, with a single button press I can get back to my CD and groove my way into oblivion...
For what it's worth, there's a growing body of people that think that reading the UK daily paper "The Sun" should disqualify you from voting on the grounds of diminished responsibility. This is the paper whose unique selling point for 35 years has been the tits on Page 3 for any US readers who haven't been polluted by it.
he's murderous scum who cheated his way into the presidency as part of an oil junta, and the world would be a better place without him. so i guess what i'm saying is i wish he was dead.
now i'm off to the roof with a webcam to see if i can stream that cruise missile as it turns left over stockport and heads towards this IP address...
i know it's doable to archive them, i'm just pointing out that a lot of snaps that people didn't pay much attention to at the time but their kids might like to see probably won't be viewable. besides, how long does your inkjet print out last?
What do you think the chances of your family photos being found in the attic by your descendants in 30 years and them being able to read them, now we're all shooting digital?
Airbus (as the inherited manufacturer) had pulled the certificate for the Concorde. No certificate, no-one can fly it and carry passengers. Concorde relied on a chain of fragmented small companies to service her, which were no longer in place - Branson knows this (he owns an airline, FFS) - it was a publicity stunt.
Malicious code
There exists malicious code in ES5.exe's "Search Service" packet handler. By sending packet 0Ch, sub-function 07h to the "Search Service"'s IP:Port, a remote attacker could delete any file the user is sharing. If the remote attacker uses "filenames" with a relative path in them (eg. "......WINDOWSNOTEPAD.EXE"), the remote attacker could also delete files in eg. the windows and windowssystem32 folders, or any other folder on the same partition as any of the shared folders. Since most users using Windows are in the Administrators group, a remote attacker could also delete the C:BOOT.INI file which is a required boot file used by ntldr.
IMPORTANT: This is not a bug! They intentionally added this code to ES5.
Useless, Useless post.
Kazaa has NEVER hidden IPs. Next time you use it, type "netstat" into a DOS prompt. See those funny numbers? They're the people you're connected to.
Earthstation 5 has already been discredited as a possible tool of the RIAA et al with the ability to delete files from your machine.

Seriously. Think it comes from that muppet in the whitehouse being on our TVs so much. You should do something about him.

the CD format supports text identifiers for tracks and albums but only some car CD heads seem to support it. why isn't more use made of this?
Unless it was Linux...

In other news, the price of petrol increases.
