I wrote a script that did this not so long ago on OpenBSD; unfortunately, that system isn't immediately accessible. What it boiled down to was grepping/var/log/messages for any failed logins, sedding out everything but the IP address, piping the output to sort, doing uniq -c, finding any IPs listed "many" times (for whatever definition of "many" is reasonable), and then piping those IPs to pfctl to add to a blacklist. Since the logs rotate every week, if anyone tries to log in too many times, they'll be permanently blacklisted. Stick the script in a cronjob and call it good. Not exactly user-friendly to implement, but highly adaptable.
Well, it's quite simple, really. You see, when the skyscraper detects an airborne vessel on a collision course, it simply springs legs and runs away, thus averting disaster.
No, the person has to actually state contradictory information. The judge can determine (well, actually, the opposing counsel can determine and then demonstrate to the judge) that you're willing to state false information because you just did. To what you're referring is something else, in both senses of the phrase.
Doing this is known as impeaching a witness. Witnesses that are impeached have their testimony thrown out and ignored, since they've shown that they can be wrong but are willing to state false information as fact. It is not a loophole, but a critical aspect under which common law operates, one of the checks to make sure that a witness presents the truth, whole truth, and (especially) nothing but the truth. Under the circumstances, the sole witness on the prosecution side was impeached, meaning that the prosecution had no evidence to present. Since there is (ostensibly) an innocent until proven guilty system in the US, without evidence, an individual will always be found not guilty if the prosecution presents no evidence.
System Shock 2 from Looking Glass, long since gone out of business, is difficult, at best, to get running under anything but Windows 95/98/ME. Actually I don't think I've ever succeeded in getting it to run on 2000 or XP, and never tried on NT.

Q. Is George Lucas a knowing Economic Terrorist? Lucas KNEW that by releasing the last "Star Wars" movie what effect it would have on the United States Economy. The movie was released on a working day. Lucas could have well waited to release his movie on Saturday or even Sunday. The effect was a $627 million loss in American Productivity.
The box-office take was $158.5 million. That leaves a $468.5 cost to the U.S. Economy. But that's not the end of the loss. Each day, Lucas is losing $1.5 million to pirates -- a capital cost to his investors of $6 million in four days and climbing. The loss could and should have been avoided by release on a Saturday or Sunday, and Simultaneous Distribution to Television, Sales and Rentals. The question becomes, would George Lucas really damage the economy to make a point of his hate for the Republican Party and President George Bush?

Yeah, but watch out for Hurricane Omega.

You mean something like this?

This reminds me of an idea. Whoever starts the next P2P protocol, network, or client, name it Nobody.
Microsoft's a doer, not a thinker. That's what got them where they are today.
The randomly-selected line at the bottom of Slashdot right now is, "It takes both a weapon, and two people, to commit a murder." Eerily appropriate.
I suspect you prefer Samus Aran (Metroid) to other video game heroines.

Did you have to do anything exceptional? I could never get past the opening splash screen.

Yes, to Bulgaria. :)
It's true, you can't trust guys with goattees.
I'd heard the three ways to do things are the right way, the wrong, and the Max Power way.
I've got a bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol that I use for cleaning, so you can definitely get more pure than 70%.
...and it only took them 12 years.
So what you're saying is, as intelligence goes up, happiness often goes down? ("I made a graph. I make lots of graphs.")
Is Harmful? Not "Considered Harmful?"

They'd be even harder to steal if you wrote the passwords on the monitor itself. I recommend a Sharpie, or even an engraver.
