I prefer a foil lined coat, or a coat with foil lined pockets, and now with the threat of RFID tracking we have a defense against an "intent to steal" charge.
WE can do something about the phishing sites, just need to set up a few machines to go through and put random and invalid data into the fields on the phisher sites, spam the spammers untill they cannot respond efficiently to actual successfully captured info. Have a long list of names and surnames, randomly combined to produce names, then mathematically produced CC#'s that are valid but with bogus billing info (imaginary streets and cities) which the CC companies will throw out but the spammers wouldn't know is bogus untill they tried to use it and it failed.
I don't want a nuisance virus, we have plenty of them, i want the fucktards who leave their worm-infested machine on the net to get a fucking clue.
Hell maybe even make the "defensive" trigger be automated self removal when it detects even a half assed attempt to see why the machine is running slow. that way it only destroys the machines of idiots who leave their worm infested boxen online long enough to complete it's goal.
that may be true but I still like knowing if my computer is on when i am downstairs (no it's not loud, i just have good hearing. and no my eMachines T2200SE w/Radeon9700 pro rev.0 isn't cheap junk. (I also do not know if my system has a heat/Fan alarm because it has never overheated or had a fan fail on me.
If the fans inside your CPU are silent you wouldn't notice if one failed, my machine is fairly quiet but i would notice if it booted without the CPU or PSU fan running.
simple use a goal/time trigger, after a machine is infected for more than x days or has successfully infected y other machines it proceeds to destroy the system on next boot (or shutdown) also have a few self-protect triggers such as reboot/nuke when it detects countermeasures such as a norton install CD inserted into the CD rom, access to AV websites, creation of a boot floppy.
well how about NiMH batteries, Rayovac has managed to get the recharge time for AA's down to 15 minutes, granted it uses large amounts of power and generates a ton of heat (ever seen a cooling fan blowing on batteries in a charger before?) but if it could be scaled up and possibly using a hydraulic cooling system, combined with a contact heat sink at the charging station, go in for coffee while your car recharges and be back on the road.
Section 9's cool too. It says that you waive the right to sue them in a real court, but instead will have a hearing before a "neutral arbitrator". Anyhow, you should read all that stuff. Some of it's absolutely unique.
I am fairly sure that such provisions are unenforcable as it is impossible to give up a right to respond to a future litigation, now each bill may absolve them of all damages up to that point, you cannot be forced to give up future litigation rights.
you can say "pentium compatable" Trademark doesn't mean that they cannot claim compatability, just that they cannot make it look confusingly similar to the trademark
Oh yea 'cause FAT32 is so great since journalled filesystems suck, we should definitely allow our data to be lost due to power/system failure to avoid rare NTFS issues

that is a difficult choice.... $20 for three DV tapes, or $14,000 for a 12 gig memory card.
FIRE ZE MISSILES!!!

I paid 15USD for LotR RotK the day it came out. I also pay 15USD for CD's, but i order them from amazon.com and never RIAA label music

the noise generator is controlled by local noise (it has to be in order to do it's job) so no you would not hear the out of phase sound

unless of course the machine has been configured to lie about uptime >:) and yes my winME box HAS been up for 500 Days now...

If you hold a rock of Pu-238 in your hand, you'll find that it's quite warm
I'm no expert in nuclear materials, but wouldn't holding anything radioactive enough to feel hot kill you rather quickly?
how about a 1 second buffer in the recorder, then it is no longer "as it happens" instead it is "1 second behind what is happening"
the Patent on single-stroke letter entry on a PDA, it took fucking seven years
I bet you would switch if JIF started to cause you to get (tape)worms and viruses
would be too dangerous to the rest of the population.
Yup, broadcasting through hundreds of feet of rock would probably end up cooking everything on the surface
well if you want to download 92 TBps of gigantic schlong then go right ahead
I am too tired, saying the same thing at the beginning and end of my post

The good thing about USA is that it's Not Canada
Nothing wrong with NTFS, it's the OS normally found on NTFS partitions that is the problem
Oh yea 'cause FAT32 is so great since journalled filesystems suck, we should definitely allow our data to be lost due to power/system failure to avoid rare NTFS issues
you can disable that in power options, set it to "do nothing".
