Wouldn't it be fairly easy to set up a program that would grab a part of the "encrypted" text and basically brute force it until 'real' words were found?
As to the hard drive / laptop question: yes.
The screen and HDD are the two most failure prone parts of aq common notebook. Since most users really don't need all that much disk space (at least in a normal corporate build) a 32 gig drive would do nicely (or a 64 gig as you are not space constrained in a notebook like you are in a PDA). You would effectively half the number of failure prone devices, not quite doubling the lifespan of your average notebook in the field.
I don't know if the manufacturers really want their laptops to last forever, I suspect that a super long-life laptop might hurt sales.
I'm sure a great deal of computer users would be able to perform most of not all of their usage with a 750mhz latitude, especially if they utilized it's ability to hold two batteries.
I do appreciate your insight into the legality of this subject, however, when you spell microsoft as M$ this is what i picture.
Mr. Gates, you no doubt saw my use of the dollar sign in my recent post, as you have been monitoring my actions for quite some time from your sunless warren below fort Redmond.
You Live like rats. You are like rats, sir! And not like the Rats of Nimh, who were wise and ultimately benevolent.

I think it makes a lot more sense to read some of the 350 posts at 0 or -1 than to only read +3 or whatever. It's not like you have to read to the end of it. And it's not like seeing troll messages will harm you.
George W (as in winner!) Bush finished a hard day of work on sunday with a telephone call informing the mayor of New Orleans to evacuate. All the mayor had to do was get every single of the 469,000 residents that were still hanging out there in a day
great how the AC's are most commonly the ones calling people dumbasses.
The site says that it will allow you to check the status of an existing claim if you use an alternate browser. Are you sure you aren't just full of shit, mr. low uid?
Well, your mileage may vary. After 4-8 hours on a green screen, your eyes green receptors get real whacked out for a while, anything white will look pink, very pink! Try it!
Not to mention the super-low refresh rate they had. Tends to give some people bad headaches.
oh fuck you.
They could at least do some form of investigation. something, anything. instead of just pulling the plug.
Oh, and P.S. the "enter" key is useful.
this is fucking bullshit!
Paypal: Where the fuck is my $50 going now? What the fuck is this shit!?
Oh, and the article leaves out that we donated this $22,000 in about seven hours, and lowtax was giving people free shit for doing it out of his own pocket, which was the reason he wasn't just linking the red cross. SA is down from the hurricane (http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/) so there was no option to use their own credit card system.
I understand what you're saying. I just think they intentionally pulled the plug, and it wasn't the traffic that killed it. But it's not like I have any facts to base this on.

I just want my ISP to provide the internet. If people really cared about crap like that AOL wouldn't be losing all of it's customers.

No need to be so dramatic and over the top.
right. no one here bought a computer with windows pre-installed. In fact no one here uses windows at all.

Does pearpc even have much of a future in the long term with apple ditching ibm and going for intel?
congratulations, the troll wins.

right, paypal has to keep their wonderful reputation in regards to 'protecting people'. They're great at 'protecting people'

I am never using paypal again.
I guess it's a good thing that i live in an area powered by hydro.
