    I think you misintepret.

    Put VirtualBox on the lab computers.

    Boot the lab machine from HD, run VBox and boot VM from the thumbdrive's VDI

    delta-V is *always* measured in m/s. It's a change in velocity.

    Yeah, but it's not worth it, because everyone knows it'll all be plowed under and salted when the Romans invade.

  5. Re:Get a new bank on What Can Be Done About Security of Debit Cards? · · Score: 1

    Agreed about BofA. My wife's card got jacked -- two trivial transactions in WA. BofA cancelled the cards 4immediately.

    My card is through my Credit Union, which treats me like a human. Some asshole jacked my card and drew about $1000 in England (where I've never been). The CU called ME and asked if I had made the transactions.

    this is part of democracy where groups negotiate with each other to get what they want. to negotiate you have to give something up,

    Some things are non-negotiable.

    xxAA: We want to take away all your rights.

    EFF/users: No!

    xxAA: Oh, come on. Let's negotiate about this.

    I know it was Q, and to be honest, I still think it's one of the more profound things said on TNG.

  13. Re:Dust Bunnies and Asbestos on Dirty Duty On the Front Lines of IT · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I disagree. I did RTFA, and the guy tried to get the school district to do the right thing. They refused.

    And his second point, that it's damn near impossible to teach kids ethics when they know the district is cheating...

    I dislike the BSA as much as the next guy, but whenever I was the IT guy (and thank ha-Kadosh Baruch-hu, I'm not, right now), I always made sure that all our software was properly licensed.

  21. Re:Technically unconstitutional. on Mass. Gambling Bill Would Criminalize Online Poker · · Score: 1

    knowing how the Internet works, I didn't see a need for any new laws to ban it for internet traffic

    They must be trying to ban RFC1149 based gambling.

  22. Technically unconstitutional. on Mass. Gambling Bill Would Criminalize Online Poker · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Assuming that the online poker game is *NOT* based in MA, then under the Commerce Clause (abused though it may be) and the 10th Amendment (ignored though it may be), the power to regulate/ban is reserved to the Feds, and the States may not ban it.

    Of course, if the game *IS* based in MA, then no problem.
