I swear on my life, every hard drive I've gotten from a garage sale has had some sort of horse porn on it. After the 4th out of 5 harddrive I was scanning had horse porn I just figured it'd be better to not look anymore.
Basically, it looks like this is a very unimpressive system.
Agreed. Tell me now a better system? I work at a credit union and in one eight hour shift handle in cash, 1-2 years salary of the average american. There are several different passwords for many things but truth be told, I'm sure will careful watching/talking you could social engineer almost any password or combination.
How is the integrity of the entire banking system not compromised? Because everything is always watched or double checked by another person. Now this doesn't apply to every situation, but by in large if you build a system of routine double checks, you cut your problems to ziltch.
There may be workarounds, but there will also be a fair number of people who will not want to put forth the effort to deal with such workarounds.
This is the point that really needs to be driven home to the RIAA. I hate having to go through and make sure all tracks are in right spot through www.cdnow.com or some other online store if they aren't explicitly tagged on the files (which is usually the case). If the music industry would realize if they really dropped the price of cds down to a reasonable level, say under $10 after tax, their sales would sky rocket. As someone had mentioned in a previous article the golden sell for Americans is the $5-$10 range. This is where most fast food and other meals are priced and many of us rationalize spending around that amount because a cd seems much more of a better investment (can be used over and over) than a simple meal. Additionally we can easily avoid spending $5-$10 elsewhere by skipping some other impluse buy and therefore are still even for the week in our budget.
That's why you monitor him. Log everything he does. Set up a system that will alert you if he does anything not cool. I'm sure there's software out there that will do just that.. just take a look out on sourceforge or freshmeat.
I agree, jsut set up a *nix box and run ipcop and you can pretty much see when he goes to the bathroom.
They should be delegating as much as possible to the regional/country authorities.
While I'm never part of the tinfoil hat crowd, it does make me concerned when the most free form of media becomes more and more in control of one country.
like asking a fox how he can best ensure the safety of your chickens. Well, they are your chickens. You must insure that other predators don't eat them. You must keep them penned up and guarded so only you can eat them. You don't want to share those chickens do you? I didn't think so. You kill everything else that might eat them.

How about public radio? Many public radio stations have _____ ____'s Rock/Music/Alternative Hour where some kid plays a bunch of local/regional music as well as few good mainstream songs? Sadly enough I haven't seen anyone mention listening to internet radio such as shoutcast et al. I've picked up on more GOOD unique bands from the type of music I like by those two means than any other way.
Additionally... what are peoples thoughts about donating to pub radio? I now have a few bucks and would like to promote the things I enjoy, pr being one of them.
Several years ago, TVLand used to have the Alfred Hitchcock hour on around 10pm. To my surprise one day the episode was "I Sing the Body Electric". It was only about 45 minutes of show which is reasonable for his short stories. Hitchcock mastered it wonderfully, I just hope whoever is directing Sound of Thunder trys to keep w/ begining of story best they can.
As a side note, even if the movie sucks I hope it does well... I'm just hoping for a short of "Fire and Ice"
I've gotta disagree with you here. While Schizophrenia may be "more common than you think" that's a pretty lame reason to include it as an "ask slashdot". AIDS is probbably more common than you think, is that the next Ask Slashdot?
"I've gotta[sic] disagree with you here." This IS slashdot... so Schizophrenia *is* more common than anything transmitted by another person... especially sexually.
In an effort to get to work on time and not start too big of flame war, I'll keep it short.
Its been mentioned several times on all different types of stories here that if everyones favorite advocate of free rights gets reelected, shits going to hit the fan. Everything on Junior Bush's agenda that he hasn't been able to accomplish because its not as easy to hide (like the suppression of scientific data which has even made it to all major news outlets...although I can't seem to find the slashdot/cnn/assospress links) will come out full force once he becomes a lame duck president.
Now granted, Bushie has continued to put money into education although maybe slightly misguided in the "No child..", he has non the less increased education spending which is *always* a good thing. (see: I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible... but who gives a fuck cause this is slashdot, which redefines bias)

Slowly but surely everything is going automated. Now I am probably a bigger advocate of computerized systems taking care of everything making life easier for John and Jane Civilian, but essay grading is among the very short list of no's. Think about the best teachers you had in high school/college... did they just toss your crappy paper back or try to put some serious thought into the review? I know my best teacher said she calculated once that comparing what she gets paid to her salary, she is making as much as her brothers uneducated roofers... roughly $20 an hour... with 2 masters degrees.
Unfortunately I believe its a touch more complicated. PC Mag notes because of the sensitivity of the materials in the process "this calls for a more complex fabrication process. Also, any exposure to air or moisture destroys OLEDs, so the materials must be perfectly sealed."
The deposition of the organic layers itself is critical too, because of the sensitivity of the material (e.g., high temperature, incorporation of dust and dirt). The high price of the coating material also makes high material utilization a priority.
Not that it matters but IAMICE (majoring in chemical engineering)
For those that rip they use MP3 and they don't care about quality. They hate any compressed format other than MP3 because it's one extra choice they don't want to think about.
This is sadly true. I have had ~4000+ mp3s for the last 6 months and have only downloaded ~80 new songs. Recently with the purchase of a new fatty hd, I have begun replacing all of my.mp3's with.ape's. I'm definately not your textbook audiophile, but many of the mp3s you find are ripped by the asshats mentioned above who don't know a quality track if it hit them in the [insert witty place here]. Once you've started listening to.apes, you can easily hear the difference between lossless compression and some crap ass encoded mp3.
Great, now I have to wait a year and some change to bitch about how bad Episode 3 is.
Maybe, but luckily for you I'm sure after this upcoming film, Lucas will decided "Hey, how about I turn out some more dogshit, and make another 100 million or so before I die? Better me than anyone else raping 'my genius'"
So truely, this isn't the end of the bitching about Lucas/Starwars/etc... its just the end of the begining.
What is more interesting is refreshing the auction every few seconds seeing the counter skyrocket. Currently (12:10am Central) I'm counting about 10 hits/second.
I'm an admin for a underground filesharing hub at a major midwest campus, and while registering people I came across a kid whose name was ______ McLeet.
It looks like while some people learn to be leet, others are just born that way.
This one isn't a hoax. This actually looks like a cool and potentially useful product.
The last time I believed anyone on slashdot I ended up with goatse all over my monitor.

This sound like the Futurama Episode (specifically Episode 67) where everyone gets $300 back from the government and Fry decides to spend all his money on 100 cups of coffee.
At 100 cups, Fry finds some inner mind power new age shit, and ends up saving everyone from a fire because time basically slows for him and he can bring everyone out of the burning building. Overall a pretty good episode.

No. It was a hypothetical example, because no one listens to Creed.
