Did you even read the parent of my post? He was talking about locking down the system at his work by installing XP. I was referring to getting around the security at work by running off of Knoppix to get full access to the HD.
And yes, the second point of my post was that even though I can get around his security, I'm not a security danger since viruses, which he mentions in his post, can't infect Knoppix.
If you're going to reply to a post, make sure you read it in context first. Otherwise, it just makes you look like an idiot.
I think the people who are against RFID tages are just more vocal about it. Personally, I don't care if the government wants to keep track of my drinking habbits. Knock yourself out.
Besides, if they wanted to track me, they could just as easily track my credit card usage.
In case anyone wants to track my drinking habbits, I'll save you time:
80% instant ice tea, diluted with 80% more water then directions indicate. Sweetened with 1 package of Splenda per 16 oz.
15% water. Bottled, since my tap water is really high in iron.
4% Coke.
1% whatever softdrink the fastfood place carries, if not Coke.
Yeah, I'm a real party animal. Lust after me women!
Imagine: Your wife decides one day that she's going bi. She'll be having many women over for extended "sleep overs" and will let you video tape them. You go out and buy a few dozen HDTV digital video cams and need soemthing to store all that video on.
And yes, I often can't recognize my own family. My wife tells her friends online that if she wanted to hide from me, all she'd have to do is cut her hair. (whenever someone in my family changes their hair style, I really have to focus to see who they are)
My sister, who I was liveing with at the time, helped me get a job at a place she was working at. When I showed up on the first day, the secretary came up to me and realy started talking up a storm! Well it was my sister. But she was wearing different clothes, hair style, and a glob of makeup. I don't think I ever did get it into my head that they're the same person. heh
On the plus side, autism does make me VERY good with computers. They're so logical and understandable. And consistant if you're not running windows.
You're not alone. I've spent more on music on iTMS then I did on all my CDs put together. My music collection is growing fast. But if they hike up the price, I'll probably just stop all together.
But there's still some good sites out there that offer the MP3 downloads for $.99 each. (indie sites) I'll just spend more on them.
At work, if I'm not browsing my usual sites, I startup with Knoppix with only one FAT partition mounted. Hack me all you want! They'll never touch my system!

It's already been done. Back in the 70's they shot microwaves through an 18" block of copper accelerating the photons to 4.7c. It's called tunneling.

But it makes sense when you think about it. There's can't be any link between speed and time. If it takes 10 years to travel 10 lightyears at 1c, how fast do you need to travel to get there in 5 years? (some say if you travel 1c + 1mph, you'll get there before you leave)
Unfortunately, there's absolutely no way to move heat from anywhere to a warmer place.
Using the Peltier effect you can. By connecting a high conducting material and a low conducting material to a battery, the high conducting material becomes cold, without even getting hot. The heat transfers to the low conducting material regardless of the ambiant temprature.
The second law of thermodynamics apply to this universe. Not necesarily heaven.
Think of it this way: You write a program using a genetic algorithm to solve a problem. The rules used to generate the algorithm would later be ignored, and the final algorithm would be used without any change or degregation.
Or you could think of God as being similar to a computer, and the universe and ourselfs as being a simulation on that computer.
You might think, "Man, that's one huge computer, how the heck could something like that be built?" And I'm sure the NPCs in EverQuest are thinking the same thing.
on chip: (each command executed in a single clock cycle) _setup: reg1=param1; reg2=param2; reg3=param3; reg4=param4; _doit: reg5=2.0*(reg1*reg2)+reg3; reg6=((reg1*reg1)-(reg2*reg2))+reg4; reg1=reg5; reg2=reg6; return ((reg1*reg1)+(reg2*reg2))<=4.0); c code:
You're absolutely right. You can't get anything good for free. Just look at Apache. It's free and it's a piece of crap! I'd never use it for any of my web hosting. And it's a good thing not many other people do either, or it'd just take down the whole internet.
I use the numpad. It works on regular and erganomic keyboards, plus works as my voicemail password too. (though the actual numbers are different, the pattern's the same)
For security's sake, I make the passwords longer then normal. (10-20 digits long, but I have a 7 digit one for low-security purposes.)
Heh, sounds like me. I'm currently working in Tacoma (Western State Hospital) and commute 1:20 down south to onalaska, where I have 4.25 achres and goats. I get 48K speeds on my dialup. Our house has a satalite dish installed, but no box. We decided we just don't need to watch tv, so we're not going to get a box anytime soon.
My wife spends her days taking care of the farm, or online with the farm lists, IM, email, or updating her website. (dialup is fast enough for all of that)
When I come home, I'm usually programming, doing crafts, (drawing, sculpting, glass etching) or just playing video games.
My wife and I just moving into a new house in the boonies.
It's been about a month now, and our microwave is still in the utility room. We don't really have a use for it.
Oh yeah, and I don't have a cell, I don't want to talk to people. I don't have a TIVO, since I don't even get any channels where I and and don't want to pay for satalite. And yeah, I AM on dialup, since I don't play online games and I do my web development locally.
I lead the simple country life of a computer hacker.
I have a feeling that if all those people that are satisfied with dial-up were given a taste of broadband, they'd never go back. I know from experience my mother-in-law. She's been on AOL for years, and had no intention of ever switching. But Comcast came through her neighborhood and offered to hook her up for free for 30 days...and she's never gone back to dial up.
It's like the drug pushers...the first hit is always free.
I have broadband at work, and do a lot of surfing at home. (Even ITMS) But I'm happy with my dialup.
Even if I wasn't, I couldn't get it though. I'm in the boonies.
Everyone I want to talk to has a computer. If they want me, email me.
Everyone, that is, except my in-laws.
Since my wife's deaf, I'm the one who has to talk to them when they call. But since my wife'd deaf, she's always online. And no, we don't need a second line.
I keep my computers up to date, but I can just have them automatically update during the night.
The only time I wish I had broadband is when shopping on ITMS. It takes me 2 minutes to download a 30 second sound sample. But once I have my shopping cart filled, I just tell it to download, then play games on my PS2.
I have broadband at work, but since we're using WinNT, I don't get to run ITMS here. But if we ever upgrade, I'll just do all my browsing here (with headphones) and buy at home.
For me, it's just not worth even an extra $10 for broadband. I'm a patient person.
It is from the magnets. Years ago I designed an engine that runs on magnets. using a iron plate perpendicular to the magnetic fields, it could change the shape of the fields and cause the motor to spin without any outside energy being applied. When I went over it several times on paper, I realized that the magnets would eventually get demagnatized by continually being subject to inverse, moving magnetic fields. The energy you use to make the magnets is the energy you gain back by running the motor.
Since then, I've come up with another design that I'm still trying to find the energy loss with. Not using magnets this time. Too bad I don't have the money to make a working model.

Simple. Happens all the time.
Yeah, they did, but that was the gigabyte model. This is the petabyte model now.
It's all just symantics. Nothing new.
Being autistic I have a similar problem.

Until you run into someone like me that runs Knoppix more often then not.
But then again, you can't exactly infect Knoppix, now can you?
At work, if I'm not browsing my usual sites, I startup with Knoppix with only one FAT partition mounted. Hack me all you want! They'll never touch my system!

No, they have artificial augmentations. They're not robots, they're cyborgs.
