The fact doesn't change that ipod is considerably more expensive then other alternatives on the market. I chose to buy a Creative Zen Jukebox due to it's built-in 60gb disk and fair price. It also has superior soundquality compared to the ipod, according to the zen zealots out there (Including me):).
Appearently it's a normal 2,5 laptop harddrive so it's possible to switch it for a larger one in the future.
Well, there are some anti-theft system for stereos where you bring a small part of the stereo with you if you want to be safe. Without this part the stereo is unusable.
The part in question is the front (with buttons and display) which is like a snap-on module which only works for the counter-part left in the car. It should take some serious beating to remove the "safety-device". Then again, is it a reasonable solution to have the hardware break if you remove the anti-theft device? What if you lost the key? Will the insurance-companies replace the items if they get broken in this fashion?
Or irritating people who don't have access to 0days and trying to leech slashdot for vulns. could go back and do what-ever they were doing before, rather then flaming people who made a mistake. *yawns*
Or I simply wrote that by purpose to see if you'd pull another flame on me. On the other hand, I could just be trying to make an excuse:) You'll never know will you? This is getting too much off-topic.
Anonymous flamebait? Well, if I have to explain myself. I accidently read 2.2.25 as 2.4.25 when scimming through text. But I guess it's your win this time. I'd be very glad if you would simply correct me and
Just buy one of those lock-wires:) Right.. doesn't really help when the part which is attached to the projector is easily broken or ripped-away.. Which is true for all commercial "projector theft-protection". It's a good deal for the producers... and for the thieves.
Do I laugh or do I cry?... just when I had finished compiling 2.4.25 on my systems.. Did I read the security bullentin correctly, but would grsec and Limited per user virtual memory still not render this exploit harmless?
Should it really have to take a court-order to make them be quiet?
Things that have been on my list of things to ignore for a long time:
1. spam
2. banners
3. SCO-fud
SCO.com is mentioned so often now on different websites with links to all the FUD SCO keeps pumping out in their press-releases, no wonder the site gets slashdotted.. *cough* suffering from DDoS attacks.
Spammers and their likes flock and moves to Silicon Valley. A few local business men proposed that the welcome-sign is changed to
"Welcome to Spam Valley" but suggestion was turned down due to the recent issue with "Spam" as a trademark.
I can't for one, understand the need of gathering data and logs about everything. Sure, making sure nothing illegal is going on. But is there nothing called privacy in the US anymore?
A few years ago secret documents concering the DC3 was released, including information about its purpose and equipement. This DC3 was no regular DC3 (airplain) but actually equipped with sensitive radio & data-collection equipement supposedly from the UK (originaly from the US). What made this airplain so famous was the fact that during a flight across the Baltic Sea the radio-contact with the DC3 was lost and no more signs heard from. The Swedish military suspected that the Russians had shot down the airplane, the only thing that was found from the plane was a lifeboat with bullet-holes in it. The suspections was more or less confirmed when the Russians shot at the search-party which had been sent out to find the airplane even though they were on international-water. Fifty yearslater, at the 16th of June a civilian company announced that they believe they've found the remains of the DC3 at the bottom of the sea outside the iceland of Gotland on International-water but in the Swedish economical zone. The pictures they published of the plane has confirmed that this finding is related to military operations since it had cone-formed equipement (supposedly radio/data-gathering antennas). Not many other documents has been released concerning data-gathering in swedish military. But no doubt they have been conducting such activites. But if this airplane was indeed used for radio and data-gathering, it is suspected that the swedish-military is or was conducting deciphering of ciphered information. If the swedish-military still conducts deciphering of cryptographical information, would the law also include the swedish military and prevent them to do research on deciphering? What if the UK and those who helped (Sweden?) deciphering the german crypto had had a law against deciphering , would they had been decipher the crypto which the Germans used during the second world war?

True. Which was corrected to me by someone anonymous whom I got into a flame with.. Silly, yes. Nevermind that.
Thanks for clearing things up for me.
Thank you for the english-lesson. I'll be looking forward to our next session.
Appearently you and I have nothing better to do then write replies to eachother.
Yes, yawning is known to "spread".

What a surprise... soon we'll have to go sign-up ourselves for those appearently illegal copies of GNU/Linux which we run on our machines.
Oh wait, FRITZ will do that for us. Thanks Microsoft!

What? Why can't people write proper explenations of their posts?
Hope we won't see an increase of computer-enthusiasts among anonymous-alcoholics.
