The point is to allow specific MAC addresses rather than deny them. So if someone who should be in the network changes his MAC, he deserves what he gets and has to go petition the sysadmin to be re-added to the network. And someone trying to get onto the network by guessing a valid MAC address is going to be at it quite some time...
Not having had any direct experience with their monitors I can't comment, but I tend to use BenQ and Lite-On almost exclusively for my cd/dvd burners and media. My coaster rate when using BenQ has been far lower (almost zero) than any others I use.
This is very true...
Just been through the backup/reinstall process on my home pc, and had to backup my 120 GB drive. Considered borrowing a 40 GB DLT tape drive from a friend, but the time and cost of tapes was too steep. Ended up storing it all on smaller drives and across the network. Took way too long either way. Next time I do this I'm just going to buy another HDD of equal size...
I'm not so sure how it works in this instance, but back at high school when I was doing Maths and Chemistry Olympiad stuff, most of what we were working on was well beyond what any high school parent would have been able to follow, unless by chance they were maths/chemistry researchers at the local university and happened to be specialised in just the right areas!
And even if a parent was in a position to know what was going on, there was very little actual homework -- almost all the work/study was done in classrooms at school. So all a parent would really be able to do would be to encourage their child to read up more on certain things, and I'd consider that not just allowable, but preferable.
So anyone know what will happen to the source? Any chance of it being released into the Open Source community? I'm sure some of it would benefit other *NIXes out there.
Any time the government down here does anything 'net related it's heavy handed, overkill, and generally not thought out. This is about par for the course really. At least this time they do seem to be aiming in at least generally the right direction!
It seems to me that the two lower rulings being overturned is a great achievement. Linking to remote content almost defines what the web is! And making ISPs into police is always just asking for trouble. Well done the Hague!
Information is valuable. How valuable obviously depends. It's like recovering data from a hard drive; if it contains a couple of old personal documents then it's not worth it, but if it's your only copy of your company's past ten years of financial reports, you'll cough up the cash quick smart!
The FAA specifies that, "no person may operate...any portable electronic device on any...aircraft" unless an airline has determined that use of the device "will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used."
One has to wonder if any airline has tested whether pacemakers can cause interference?
Do airlines that require all mobile phones to be switched off allow exceptions for some new phones such as the Sony-Erikson P800 which provide a non-cellular Airline mode?
Can't remember release dates, but while the clock speed on the IIgs was far slower than the Mac Plus, it was actually a decent bit faster computer. I don't really recall specifics, but from using them side-by-side the IIgs would definately have been my computer of choice.
However, instead of simply stopping sales of GNO and letting the software wander into oblivion, I am placing GNO into "freeware" status, and I am also making available all source code to the 2.0.4 version to the public and the development community.
If I understand this correctly, the owner of the source code has fully released it to the community, thereby making this 100% freeware, no conditions. As this doesn't appear to be derived from any other flavour of *NIX, I don't think there's anything stopping anyone doing whatever they choose with it.
This article refers to the IIgs which is a completely different beastie. The IIgs was well ahead of it's time, and capable of supporting multiple hard drives, quite decent graphics, and a decent sound system. Used to play some really funky games on my friend's one:-). Think more Amiga than Apple for this one.
Customers can then play the sound by hitting a few buttons on their mobile phones.
The idea is not to use it as a ring tone, simply to play it manually when you want to get rid of mozzies. If it actually works as advertised then it sounds like a decent idea to me!
I'm sorry but I don't see the basis for complaint in the original poster's musings. It costs MONEY to, for instance do business in Hungary, handle transactions and currancy conversions, and deal with fraud. If a particular market doesn't offer enough profit to justify the expense, that market simply isn't worth doing business with.
Of all the online stores that ship worldwide, I'm yet to see one of them charging in different currencies depending on their ship-to location. Pretty much all business charge in the currency of their own location, be it Canada, UK, USA, or wherever. The buyer pays whatever it costs to convert the currency. Fraud can be an issue, and often is, but many countries are at least as easy to prosecute fraud in as the USA, and it's not that hard to build up a "safe list" of countries. Shipping is easy, many of the standard shipping methods in the USA will ship internationally, they just charge a different rate--again, this is paid for by the buyer.
The web is planet wide. Not every company on the planet is obligated to do planet wide business to participate.
Certainly, but it's not unreasonable for the business that specifically choose a.com domain for themselves to offer their business internationally. Otherwise they really should consider sticking to a.co.uk,.com.au,.com.us, or wherever they do restrict their business to.
My point was that not only wouldn't they be able to affect it, they wouldn't be able to even notice it. Even if there was a DDOS-type attack running along an xDSL line, the phone would still be working just as well, and there's no way to target it. I would expect the same for a shared data/power setup.
Of course if you have a computer set up to control it's own power levels automatically in some way, then that could be hacked, but then it wouldn't make a difference if the power is coming in over the data line or a more traditional way.
Not really, all a hacker is likely to be able to do is disrupt the data communications on the line, they probably wouldn't even be able to detect whether the line is carring power. Think xDSL over a phone line: hackers may be able to totally disrupt the xDSL connection, but they can't stop people making calls on the phone line.

And then launch the ashes into the heart of the nearest star? LOL!
Non-cellular, meaning you can use all the features, except the actual phone, so no shouting into the phone.
Which must lead to the question: How long before it's possible to reliably decipher burnt, cross-shredded documents?

Along with dropping prices, this sort of info can really incline people to getting a GameCube! /me digs around in his pocket for some spare change :-)

But how many more times can these types of bills be defeated? It'll only take one to get through, and we head down the slippery slope...

If the call is GSM to GSM, is it possible for it to never actually hit the copper, and so stay encrypted?
