Well, you can get infected with viruses and spyware in only a few minutes on a Windows OS and unlike Windows, if something works or doesn't work on a Mac, it will remain that way forever, it is not going to change, so 2 hours is a pretty long time.
Unfortunately no. According to IEEE, the unemployment rate for EEs is about 20%. One in Five EEs are out of work and friend Billybob wants to bring in more?
How the heck is that possible? If you would take a 1m wire and cut it into short pieces and solder them together with a different conductor, then the overall resistivity will be less than when you had a single piece of wire???
Actually, on Linux, if you don't use something it pretty soon doesn't use any resources, since it gets swapped out. Run something useless, then run top after a while - you'll see that it takes zero memory and zero CPU cycles, which is almost as good as stopping it.
Gawd forbid that someone would want to play a DVD backwards to look for satanic images and noises...
The US would likely need a total rewrite of the DMCA to allow that.
My VCR was able to FF and skip crap, what makes a DVD any different? Why do USAsians need a special law to 'allow' for a spinning silver disc, that which is perfectly OK for a brown tape, or a 16mm home movie (anyone remember those?).
The only problem is that while you are logged in, the home directory is open - encrypted or not - but it is a good idea. I would prefer a system where each individual file is separately encrypted, so that only open files are truly open.
I started using encryption after my notebook PC was stolen and I got a US $8000 charge on a credit card...
Anyhoo, here is a Google cache copy of a howto guide for others who may be interested:

Criminals are also trying to make money. Some run huge businesses, eg. Enron, Worldcom, Nortel and Tyco. Even natural disasters increase the GDP of a country, since it increases both production and consumption. Consequently a demand economy is boyed by both good and bad actions - although good works better.
In contrast, in a communist society, it is very difficult to raise the GDP, since most things are free - no rent, no payments for water, electricity or gas, no medical payments - the result is that everything stagnates, since the people have no motivation to do anything, except bare survival. Consequently, both good and bad actions are punished in an economic sense.
See how rapidly Russia and China improved in the last couple of decades, over the previous 70 years of a command economy.
Oh, I agree hundred percent that ethical behaviour is best and makes the system work properly, but the beauty of the capitalist system is that it causes even crooks and scoundrels to contribute, while in other systems, they would only be spunging off the honest people.

If penguins tasted good, then they would have been extinct by now, since they are easy to catch. The Dodo probably tasted good...
Al these comments show, is that CA have no idea how the Linux kernel module system works. If they think they have to compile in all 10,000 odd modules whether they are used or not, then yes, their version of the kernel would be bloated.

I use joe on some bl00dy RH7.2 servers which don't have anything else. Not exactly my favourite editor, but not my favourite most hated editor either - that one would be vi...

Penguin would likely taste very fishy. Eating penguin would be about as appetising as eating a seagul. I haven't eaten a penguin, but a jackass penguin has bitten me on my hand - fschking painful - they are carnivours after all.

The IEEE figures are only for EEs - I don't know what the ratio is related to Comp Sci, but 100,000 EEs are out of work in the US.
Anyhoo, if MS can't find employees, then the problem lies with their HR department, not with a shortage of people.
not worth reading...

OK, so to get a good cable, your nanofilaments must be as long as possible - it won't help twisting a bunch of short ones together.
Still, there must be a limit as to the amount of current a tube can carry. What happens when this limit is reached?
Actually, it is easy to get into space. You just need to stand still and let the earth move away from you.
How the heck is that possible? If you would take a 1m wire and cut it into short pieces and solder them together with a different conductor, then the overall resistivity will be less than when you had a single piece of wire???
I can already see the adverts for nanotube monster cable...
Sort-of does does everything, but can you actually make and receive calls on it?

No, you see, his laptop is always running/sleeping. So to read his mail, he just has to open the three digit barrel lock on his canvas laptop bag...
Or, as someone else pointed out - I'll try it one day if I remember: Start the DVD, then press Menu, followed by Play. That just sounds too easy.
The way I usually do it: Give the DVD to my son and ask him to call me when the movie starts...

This is only a MS Windows problem. My Linux box doesn't have folders.
They are up in arms over a bunch of islets already. This is just more insulin on the fire... ;-)
