I had already looked and almost none of the suggested solutions worked at all. The only solution that did work was to ditch IE7 and move back to IE6. Sorry to burst your bubble but it isn't "security" that was the problem here, it was simply piss poor coding since even M$ didn't have a solution.
You forgot that if the laptop was stolen from a trucker then the thief isn't likely to want to spend the same amount of time on a trucker's encrypted laptop, that may only contain nudie pics the trucker is trying to hide from his wife, as they would one stolen from the FBI where they'd almost be certain of getting something fun to view.
Yeah, we tried to get in touch with said forensics team and once they got wind that we were onto their methods no one ever heard from them again. With forensics like that, I can't figure out why they wouldn't want their reputation brought into question by someone who was only a hobby videographer at the time.
At least in this case, it's dealing with filters applied by software, so the algorithm can be examined, and it's perhaps reversible, whilst in 24 they often apply it to things like poor quality or low resolution cameras, and magically enhance the details.
I've got a friend that was charged for burglary one time and the company that charged him submitted their surveillance video footage to some supposed forensics team so they could see if they could derive his face from the blurry video. What was brought to light was that the idiots also submitted my friend's work ID, and an old one that didn't really look like him any more, with the video. The team then returned a video that showed how they "matched" my friend to the person seen in the video...they morphed several stills grabbed from the video with....you guessed it...my friend's ID and THEN they showed their derived picture right next to the old ID. I took one look at it and told him they had absolutely zero case against him if that's all the evidence they had. I didn't even have to show up as an expert witness since the judge was wise enough to realize what was going on.
Yeah, besides the fact that for some odd effing reason IE7 won't read.chm files which were, and I can't believe this needs to be pointed out, created by M$ to be read with IE as the default(and, AFAIK, the ONLY) reader available. There are converters available but none I've found are free so it's a moot point.
"Tradition has it that Joseph was an old widower with children before he and Mary got engaged. There's also the fact that Jews called their cousins "brothers". Nope, I can't prove that any of these things accurately explain what really happened (as that would be impossible), but it ought to wipe that "I've just stumped `em Bible-thumpin' Xtians with a scriptural contradiction"-smile off your face."
The only contradiction I see in your post is that there was a point to you saying that. Did you leave out some vital piece of information? I ask because either of those facts seem to address anything that you seemed to be referring or replying to, nor does it appear to make any other form of point.

To be honest, despite AROS's limitations, I'd have thought that it's far along enough that the original source code wouldn't help them much - after all, the original source code only runs on either 68k or PPC.
Yes but the source that AROS is dealing with is OS 3.x but the source code I'd like to see open sourced is anything OS4+, including hardware. Yes, I know the hardware was a huge portion of what made the Amiga great but that's all the more reason to free it from its current slow and myopic master.
putting the period outside the quotation marks is pretty recent. the norm when i learned grammar was to put them inside the end quote mark, regardless of if it was for the quote or the sentence.
I remember the exact same THOUGH I always thought it made more sense to put the period after the end quote and changed pretty quickly once there were no more teachers to tell me otherwise.
I was seriously wondering if maybe the Amiga community(or what's left of it plus any fans, etc.) couldn't just buy out what's left of that company and then open source the OS(hardware?) so we could then adapt it to be used on today's commodity hardware. I mean even if they had OS5 available today the sales they would make from it wouldn't be enough to recoup any expenses on development of the OS and keep the company afloat. The whole Amiga bankruptcy scene was a comedy of horrors and the new Amiga, Inc. is the twisted punchline.
The AROS project looks promising but doesn't work with my hardware and this would be just the thing to move them forward.
I don't know about the GP but *I* am certain that a human could more easily tell if they were reading a Markov chained(spam) article versus an article of quality. Computers don't yet have the ability to actually understand if what they're reading is of any quality, humans do.
Gateway/Emachines attempted to deny me hardware(or any) support because I had the audacity to install XP Pro on my laptop instead of XP Home as they had included. Yes, I know that they're not the best company on the market but I was getting a laptop for $750 that all other manufacturers were selling equally spec'ed machines for upwards of $1500 at the time. It cost them dearly when it was time for me to make a purchase of several laptops and, despite Gateway/Emachines having a better price for the specs, I went with a manufacturer with better support.
And as far as I've heard it's a crap 'invention' anyway, one wrong click and you just spent money on something you didn't really want. I'd rather review my account data and address every time.
I'd never thought of it that way but you're right. I already want to review everything(is the seller charging me $15 to ship an item that costs 40 cents to mail?) so why I'd want to accidentally buy something without a chance to say 'no' is beyond my reasoning powers.
I would leave if they bought ALL of FB, otherwise I couldn't care less unless they suddenly start making me put up with WGA checks or the like to connect, otherwise it'll probably the same Facebook only with a few hundred million dollars to spend. I've got Firefox and Adblock Plus so I never see any of their adverts so it'll likely be the same experience for me.
"No, you assume the cops are supposed to know somehow he's a journalism student and poses no threat."
If they don't know *that*, they're not doing their jobs correctly. Ever heard of a quick frisk? They're allowed to do it "for officer safety" even for people they aren't planning to arrest.
Goddammit!! I gotta start reading at -1 cause I totally missed the post you were replying to since it was at -1..and I thought you were responding to its parent post. Ah well.

Ever heard of off-shore banking?
No, the Web is not the Internet, AOL is!!

You missed "Core Dump".

According to the article, they're using the phone, not email, to contact the users.
How about YOU think about those aliens, I'll stick with the recreational chemicals where I can SEE them.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm... Hoffman's finest. I'll take 2 please.
They do it all the time to people resisting far, far more than he did, so what's your point?

The joke passing over YOUR head apparently.
I heard AOL has examples of said prior art dating since the early 90's.
