I'm no expert, but considering the nature of this bug, it shouldn't be too hard to the FBI to set up a honeypot disquised as a bank, add some phoney accounts and large, fictious transactions and track for any activity.
"The Justice Department is committed to preventing crime and terrorism, and as we all learned on 9/11, everyday items like box cutters can be misused with catastrophic results," said John Nowacki, a spokesman for the Justice Department, in a statement.
Every day obejects being misused with catastropic results? How about pens in the hands of regulators ignorant of the impact they can have on hobbists and every day people? Hell, I thing the most catastropic misuse of anything has been power. Since 9/11, the Feds have grabbed too much power and used it more like a war club than a fine surgical instrument.
Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000. Let's face it, not everyone (robots included) can sit through ten years of the cheesiest movies ever made without getting some kind of award.
Senators and Congressmen like to introduce bills that please their constituents (not to mention biggest contributors) during election years because it makes it look like their actually doing something rather than attending parties, chasing interns and taking junkets on taxpayers' dime. Of course, we are talking about Senator Hatch, who isn't up for reelection and isn't related to the Kennedys (as far as I know), but tactic is the same; in this case, spread FUD among the "pirates", satiated the movie moguls, and generally stir up a hornet's nest with everyone who lives a damn.
Yeah, it's called a Digital Signature. I have GPG and Engimail setup with my Mozilla mail to digitally sign all my outgoing email. Works great, less filling.
Oh, please. The Zeppelin is dead technology, and it wasn't the Hindenburg that killed it; it was the rise of long-range passenger airplanes. Dirigdibles and blimps are far too susceptible to the adverse weather conditions to be of any real use in passenger service. They do make for stable, low-speed platforms for television cameras, which is why you see them at outdoor sporting events. Other than that, they are a nostalgic curiosity
Hannibal Lecter: NO! I will listen now. After your father's murder, you were orphaned. You were ten years old. You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Utah. And...?
Clarice Starling: [tears begin forming in her eyes] And one morning, I just ran away.
Hannibal Lecter: No "just", Clarice. What set you off? You started at what time?
Clarice Starling: Early, still dark.
Hannibal Lecter: Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
Clarice Starling: I heard a strange noise.
Hannibal Lecter: What was it?
Clarice Starling: It was - screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice.
Hannibal Lecter: What did you do?
Clarice Starling: I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
Hannibal Lecter: And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
Clarice Starling: Fans. The fans were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter: They were suppressing the CPU fans?
Clarice Starling: And they were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter: And you ran away?
Clarice Starling: No. First I tried to free them. I-I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
Hannibal Lecter: But you could and you did, didn't you?
Clarice Starling: Yes. I took one fan, and I ran away as fast as I could.
Hannibal Lecter: Where were you going, Clarice?
Clarice Starling: I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it wasvery cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but - he was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Mormon orphanage in Provo. I never saw the ranch again.
Hannibal Lecter: What became of your fan, Clarice?
Yeah, it means another announcement by SCO of a new lawsuit, filing, chest-pounding, (insert your favorite verb here) in order to boost the price up and eek out just a little more money on the next stock dump.
Personally, I rather like the idea of wood (or wood veneer) being used for computer mods. It adds a whole new palette of color and texture for modders. By utilizing wood and wood veneers, modders can make cases that blend in with, rather than stand out, from the furniture, or, be used as accent trim like the classic Bugattis, Duesenbergs and Jaguars. Heck, you can even make a computer desk where the desk is, itself, the computer case. (Which would also make it harder for any would be thief to indetify and walk off with.)
It's very interesting when you look at the numbers for All Time Box Offices. Sure , Titanic grossed $600,788,188 in the U.S., but combined, Lord of the Rings has garnered $985,564,693, and that's not counting last weekend's box office receipts. Whether you think of LOTR as three seperate films or, like me, as one long epic told in three parts, it is an impressive performance and ranks LOTR among some good company.
I contend that the ultimate predatory price is "free"
Well, let's see, people pay $1.50 for a bottle of water and there was the bizarre fad in the 90's called "Oxygen bars". Hmmm, guess people are willing to pay for stuff they can get for free. Guess SCO's just going to have to *gasp* rethink their business model. Maybe Daryl can get a job opening up a lemonade stand.
I agree. If you want to see a movie that is more or less a 100% faithful reproduction of the book, go watch "Harry Potter". One of the reasons LOTR has taken so long to be made into a film (other than the obvious technical challenges) is the story itself. It is not written in the classic story line model. The are scenes of nothing but extended dialogue (The Council of Elrond, for example), telling two storylines that happen simultaneously as two seperate parts (all of TTT and a good portion of ROTK), and characters that seem out of place in the story (Tom Bombadil's and Faramir's reactions to the ring).
Face it, if PJ has done a 100% faithful reproduction of the book, the movies would be at least 6 hours each but audiences would leave and/or fall asleep after the first hour; not exactly the kind of movie I'd want to watch. Did PJ & Co. tamper with the book? Yes. Was it necessary? I believe so. Is everyone happy about it? Hell no, but that's to be expected. Personally, I enjoyed both FOTR and TTT, both the theatrical and extended versions and can't wait for ROTK.
Damn! And I live in Mississippi. I'd better run down and stock up on all the Jack Daniel's I can get. Knowing how things run in this state, it could be years before they get the problem fixed. But then again, I smell a potential market here . . .;)
So how many hours do you think it takes for this to be cracked 2-3 hours?
I can crack any CD in two seconds. Just grab either side with both hands and bend it until it cracks. Works best with Brittney Spears and Backstreet Boys CDs.;)

Just one more reason to switch to Mozilla.

but not surprising. Attendance for Comdex has been decling for years. Just wonder how long before it disappears entirely.

Of course, that's just my two cents.
According to Netcraft, Jessie James' company, West Coast Choppers, does, in fact, use Linux.

For over a year now, Leo Laporte from TechTV's The Screensavers has been saying that Messenger Service is a security hole but Microsoft kept saying, "It's not a hole; it's a feature." Guess now Microsoft will turn off Messenger Service by default. Or, maybe not.
Hmmm, let's see, the Apple eMac is white and kinda shaped like a bullet . . . Maybe he's refering to wolfsbane?
Here's one possible solution to the problem of spam.
