The way it works is that the drive exposes the encrypted files to the operating system. This is so that (in theory) you can back-up the dvd, but it is worthless since it's still encrypted. When you want to actually get the mpeg4 stream to watch the video, you request that part of the drive through your software. In the older drives, you specified the key to decrypt it in software (each region has a seperate key), meaning it was up to the software to "enforce" the region stuff. In the newer drives, it handles this in hardware and doesn't allow you specify the key through software. This allows the hardware to enforce the region code, because they are coerced by the MPAA to only allow the drive to change codes a number of times. With VLC, it simply looks at the encrypted data, and decrypts it itself using DeCSS, which doesn't need access to the specific key (it can retreive it out of the data itself).
I may be incorrect, but this is the only explanation I can think of that meshes with what I know about DVD's.
Fourth: You bring up 2 points about the signature. You say, "the merchant is not required to obey your stupid writing on the back." Then, in the same paragraph (actually, the next sentence), you say, "In fact, if they are doing their job they would require you to sign the card for real to make sure you have agreed to the terms of service." Do you always go back and forth on everything like that? Yes, it is supposed to be signed, and my note requires them to check for ID, which is signed. I checked, and it counts. So, in line with your 2nd sentence, yes, they are supposed to check -- which contradicts your 1st sentence.

There is no flip-flopping involved. I'm going to call you Bob, and your bank CitiJoe for clarity. The merchant (as in, the person that you are paying money, which CitiJoe will transfer them money, knowing they can collect from Bob, which is you) has no obligation to follow any instruction written by Bob on the credit card. They are under no contract with you. You present your card, and since it has the visa logo on it, they understand that they can figure out that your bank is CitiJoe and that CitiJoe will pay them the money. The merchant could care less who you are, as long as someone pays for their merchandise. In this case, it is CitiJoe. In the meantime, there are contractual obligations between the merchant and Visa that requires all credit cards presented to be signed by the user of the card. By signing the card, you are agreeing to the terms of service of the card, as was mentioned in the GP. If you look at the back of the card, it says "Authorized Signature - Not valid unless signed." This means that the Credit card is not valid to be used in any facility if it is not signed. Since it is not signed, it is not valid, and cannot be used. If you write "SEE ID," then you have not signed the card, and have not agreed to the terms of the card, and cannot use the card. Is this clear? No flip-flopping involved.
In fact, merchants are not supposed to require your ID at all. Somewhere along the line, the credit card execs wanted to make credit cards "easier" than checks, and not require presenting identification because that makes it less easy than checks. However, this regulation is usually relaxed because of paranoid people like you.
Your boss's mind changes on a weekly or daily basis? My boss's mind changes within paragraphs.. Sometimes even mid-sentence. Seriously. Well, true they may have semicolons in the sentences, but they're still sentences!
The US version of Robot Wars was actually hosted by TNT I believe. Comedy Central hosted BattleBots. Notice that after these shows got too serious, they got cancelled, yet the UK Robot Wars continues to run. I think they just finished filming season 9 earlier this year.
It would only take a single phone call and reading off a subsequence of the bits over it to break the MITM attack. If Alice and Bob know each other's voice, then this would truly be "unbreakable" encryption. No more unbreakable than a one-time pad burned onto a dvd disk though.
I assume that when you actually do the make, it links the right libraries according to the --with-gd=/usr/lib/gd or whatever. I believe this is the -L directive for gcc. The underlying c code doesn't need to change for this to happen however.
Maybe they are breeding a bunch of them so that they can sell a lot of them on their initial offering. Maybe they are testing them to make sure they don't come up with hyper-allergens later in life. There are plenty of reasons they may delay "shipping" these cats other than the fact that they don't have them.
I think you're misunderstanding his question. He is asking if the 640x480 video images can be digitally zoomed from the 4MP camera resolution rather than digitally zooming from the original 640x480 video images. ie, when taking pictures at 640x480 resolution and the camera can handle 1280x960 images from the capturing, and digitally zooming 2X to produce a 640x480 image, if it would resample the image "losslessly," since it would only be saving to 640x480 anyways. It certainly isn't producing the pixel information from nowhere. However, I think it's more of a bandwidth issue from the imager to the memory that the video is only captured at the lower resolution and not anything else. I'm probably wrong though.
It's the same principle that you see the clocks with a single column of LED's (1-d) oscillating very fast to show a 2-d image of the current time. Except with this, you are projecting a 2-d image onto a rotating plane to show a 3-d image.
He complains about his 12-year old son not being able to move stuff around from itms? Well try ripping a CD in WMP in the default configuration? My father did this and then tried to listen to the.wmv files on his laptop and it wouldn't let him. When I told him he had to uncheck the "put DRM in the files I rip," he asked me why anyone would ever want that option checked. Maybe they stole that option from Apple too?
AFAIK, when you save a file, you select the location for it to be downloaded. Then it goes and downloads the file, which does something by using some other protocol (data: i think) and totally horks the directory where the file is downloaded. Maybe it'll just delete the temp directory too:)
My family recently installed a tankless and your "never runs out of hot water" argument isn't necessarily true. I've been taking showers and it'll just cut out for a minute or so and be really cold, then it ramps back up to warm. Maybe it's broken or something, but this has been my experience. And when the washer comes on it does this too, but to a lesser degree.

BZZt wrong. This patent is about *sending* your smileys to the other person, where it stores them in their browser cache.
none i think. It uses a local copy of a dictionary file to check every word. It only does lookups when you mouseover or click on the underlined word.

I prefer ZipGenius. I can't stand Winzip or winrar.
