I have to agree with this point. I remember setting up my wireless router, and the instructions for setting up WEP or any of the other security schemes included were basically non-existant. It took me some digging before figuring out how it was supposed to work exactly. For the time that the internet was inaccessible while I was setting everything up, I got complaints from family about when they'd be able to use the internet, so I set the router to work w/o encryption, then came back later to fix it. I can imagine others might not think that much about coming back to dig around and make it work right.
For the average user, the issue is being able to access the internet through wireless, security is an afterthought. Also, a person that might try to use an open wireless access point would most likely not try to take down that AP, so the average user is not too worried about losing internet access because of a lack of security. If users are made known about the risks of a lack of security, they'd be more inclined to be worried about it. This can and should be addressed by the manufacturers. It's not their responsibility or obligation, but for the sake of security, the manufacturers should take that initiative and educate the end users.

Hack Your Ride

I'd like a chip mod that changes my car from factory specs to pimp mode. Something along the lines of an Autobot transforming.
Seriously, has anyone seen that new show on MTV? I'd like to see whose pimped ride isn't stolen after a year.
Oh well, I'll just follow the rules until I graduate, I guess... my bad, I thought creativity and originality would be rewarded...
So true. I realized this the hard way a few times, forgetting to state the obvious and going further than the questions would call for. Then I'd get my work back and discover I missed full credit by forgetting to state the obvious. Guess sometimes you can't give people too much credit. Yeah once I figured out the rules, college became a little easier.
Unfortunately, in the real world now, it's the same way at work. Extra effort is not often recognized, unless you toot your own horn. And forgetting the obvious is not an option, esp. working around different types of people. Still, creativity and originality has it's place on the side for hobbies and independent projects.
How much RAM can they put in those Xeon boards? I'm assuming they figured 6 GB per board would be sufficient, but how much RAM would be the max for the board?
Another thing to remember once you've gotten the node closest to your base is that players can't spawn at an unsecured node. Meaning, if you attack an opponent's node, they won't be able to spawn at that node. So by having team members attack the next 2 closest nodes, you prevent the enemy from spawning so close to your newly reacquired node, and it gives you time to secure and regroup your team. Keep this in mind and soon your opponent will only be able to spawn at their base, while your team works on knocking out their other nodes. It's the little things that help, and end up making the comeback so sweet.
Personally I think it's easier to make a comeback than a straight conquest, but it also kinda depends on the players on your team.
The AC is an anomaly. The AC is both everyone and no one in particular at the same time. While making senseless, inflammatory comments at one moment, at any other given moment, insight or informative comments can be found. However the same could be said about any one person. So while representing the hiding place of the general mass, it also represents what any one of us could be at any given moment.
From the yahoo link, Return of the King swept all 11 categories in which it was nominated. It matched the record 11 wins of "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur" and became only the third movie to sweep every nominated category, following Gigi and The Last Emperor, which both went nine-for-nine.
Quickly reading that, I thought it said Gigli, and that I had somehow ended up in Bizarro World.
I hate computers that don't have a reset button and pressing the power button doesn't always turn the computer off. So that when it's really stuck like that, and ctrl-alt-del doesn't work, you gotta pull the plug. I'd get really mad, it almost became personal, as if the computer was saying "You can't restart until I'm good and ready." Thank goodness for the reset button, for saving the effort of reaching behind the computer.
Didn't Bill Gates purposely make the logon for Win NT use ctrl-alt-del as a sort of joke, as a way of saying to the computer world, "i know this is used all the time to reboot, but now windows is so good, it will handle ctrl-alt-del the way i want it to", or something to that effect? I heard this from someone but not sure if it's true or not.
The end was appropriately long for the entire length and buildup of the movie. I thought the movie would end with them dying on the rock in the lava river. Actually I wanna see the alternate endings that come on the DVD.
...but thermal paste is something you apply once and never see again
I always wonder why they sell so much thermal/silver paste in one package if you're only going to use a little bit, and probably won't use much more until much later. Unless you're testing a lot of chips or heatsinks, who actually uses all of their thermal/silver paste?
I think he means what's the first picture from the 3rd series of Monty Python you downloaded. You know, Monty Python 3rd series pictures are really popular nowadays.
I actually just got into Warcraft about a month ago, and couldn't stop playing it until I beat it. A week without Warcraft could be seen as cruel and unusual punishment.
At least they can't really prove that these alleged attacks are being performed using Linux. They can only guess it's a Linux user, since they're attacking Linux users (or rather they're trying to shake down Linux users) but who knows, it could be a Mac user. Right?

You press that button on your dash that says "Factory specs/ race track", duh!

One person has got to be pissed by this: Christopher Lee (Saruman).

Yes slashdot, it appears you were b0rk3d
The processor might burn though. I pour water on it first, just to be safe.

But on the other hand it was a long ending.

I don't taste any freedom in my freedom fries either.

Convert other MCPs like you so that you in essence self-replicate and become updated to a virus.
that 7 meg picture is pretty sweet, and bland, but cool bland.
They'll learn to use MS Paint in ways never before imagined.
