Well, after RTFA-ing, I found that that's simply not the case. They are saying basically, that they hope the machine can be seized while turned on, or the key can be obtained by something called Bit Locker Recovery Key (I suppose it's something the manager has) in a corp environment.
There is a way to implement secure backdoors. Like encrypt the encryption key with the public key of NSA and store it on the drive itself. There you go, now only NSA can read your drive.
The original Doom was the first FPS game with multiplayer. It was the first game to introduce the term deathmatch. It was the first FPS to have varying heights of floors/ceilings.
I'm new here, so they'll understand my apparent disregard for common sense. Actually, I've been using the x64 RTM on my main dev machine for quite some time now and it works well. Haven't tested any games, since I haven't installed it at home yet. If gzdoom doesn't behave... I doubt I will be using it for gaming:P .
What's pegging your CPU at 30% is the rendering of the clock gadget. Sounds silly, but try turning it off (only the round clock gadget, not the whole gadget sidebar) and see the difference. Looks like it has something to do with IE7 rotating the clock hands images each second.
... I want to take a look at some source at midnight or in the weekends or when I'm sick or something. For everyday work it's not something I can imagine liking... unless I have a gf/wife at home with me to keep me happy;) .
I was like that at first, it made me sick and made my poor eyes ache. Fiddling with it (making it as dark as possible), and looking at the TFT from a greater distance makes things easier, but I can still see it kinda reddish and blurry sometimes, especially on Courier New (the developer's font).
So, a spyware publisher responsible for the crippled state of all new HP machines cries out loud that Vista will be too secure for their crapware to install? Cry me a river, ****heads. On the other hand, I don't think Vista will run games too well and that gamers should stick with XP for now since Vista's likely to break almost all existing games, especially id's OpenGL classics.
Use analog cable TV and DVDs for video. Good enough yesterday, good enough tomorrow. Or find alternative ways to provide yourselves with PC entertainment;)
I had little choice but to visit the US when I was offered the job of my dreams. Here I am, my two index fingers and thumb prints in who knows what govt databases. With my country now in the EU and my gf back home... I wonder what on earth I'm doing here, but I'm beginning to like it in a strange way.
You're right that it's a creative process, but when the app grows large (think 20+ fulltime developers), then such things as versions step in and large chunks of the app get rewritten/redesigned, while the inner workings of some of the things are largely copied from the old version (together with special cases handling, which can sometimes get thrown away because of new more general-purpose requirements, etc). So you're right too that rewriting helps but not all should be thrown away, etc... It's a mess:)
I used to think that way 6 years ago. Now I know that's dead wrong. In literature, you lay out your feelings / your ideas. They develop over time, and with each re-write become clearer to you and on the paper. In software, your ideas seldom matter. What matters are requirements that develop independently from you, and workarounds for various issues that have nothing to do with your creativity, and develop themselves just out of necessity. Software is not an expression of ideas, it's a machine, and should be treated as such.
... if the code with the password in it runs on your server, and never ever leaves it, and noone but you has any access to it. This is a completely valid way to deal with things, although it's ugly and if your server ever gets stolen, you'd better be using some kind of full-disk encryption. And if the server ever gets pwned, then your password will be pwned, too.
... seems reasonable. Just send an e-mail before making a deep link, or just take the link down if someone complains (which should happen, like, almost never if your site isn't too popular). No sweat there. In the extremely unlikely event that you can't post the link, you can still point at the main site and quote how to get to the interesting stuff (like, click here and find this link and select this option, etc).
Of course, the ability to determine whether free will exists is somewhat problematic, i agree. It seems, however, that if you think logic exists, then you are admitting to free will. For without free will nothing could be proven true or false. Ever.
What? It's not a matter of whether or not logic exists. I have a few books on mathematical logic, there you go, it exists. Pure mathematical logic exists. Maybe you mean if people are able to act on logic. That's a different matter altogether. Because mathematical logic statements are usually in the form of (if (a) then (b)) and nothing in our minds can really question the truth in logical tautologies.

Good point. I was improvising. Another weakness would be that the encrypted key can be overwritten with random data by a knowledgeable user, etc...

Check the article. The guy bought the computers with Windows pre-installed.

Went past the company store on the way to work. The line was quite long. All MS employees. Looks like I'll have to wait a few days...

You can't offload security input validation to the client. I mean you can, but you have to check the input again on the server anyway.
You mean: "Guy 1: This is blasphemy! This is madness!"

The problem with consoles, as I see it, is the lack of a mouse and a keyboard. And the lack of a decent compiler. And the lack of a good monitor. etc.
Is anyone buying that stoneage tech anymore? That you've heard of?

Ooops, did I just say that out loud?
or was it just me...

Dammit, I misread you as "SCO is also asking Sparta"...
