I have heard of running keyboards through the dishwasher. I read something on it several years ago. From what I read though, it seems much safer to do it this way:
1. Disassemble the keyboard, and set the pcb(s) aside. 2. Put all the keys in the silverware basket 3. Put all the plastic panels on the top rack 4. Run normally, but skip the heated drying stage 5. Air dry until completely dry. 6. Reassemble.
It's quite a bit more work, but it sounds like it would be lower risk. I'm almost tempted to try it without disassembly though (but I'd likely break down and just disassemble it anyways).
I have to agree with you on that. I used to be one of the youngsters saying email was dead or useless in these days. I was a jobless 17 year old at the time. Just recently I got a job at a credit union as a programmer (I'm now 18 as well), and we use email quite a bit at work. Rather than walk down the hall to talk with someone, we email. Second to email for in-office communication is calling the person, but it is just slightly more common than the rare personal visit...
I recommend looking into software called 'Smart Launch' for managing the client computers. This includes accounts, profiles, access to content, time/money on each account, rates, etc.
A number of cybercafe's and LAN centers that I have been to use SmartLaunch, and all have had some success with it.
This has been said before, but the issue was actually comparing to see if the function's address was not 0, rather than checking if the function didn't return 0.
My current hosting company allows for unlimited email addresses, but does not let us use more than 1 domain for email. With 4 domains (that i can think of) on this single account, having email accounts on multiple domains would be nice. I do realize that other companies offer similar solutions (everyone.net did, if they're even around anymore), but Google is a company that I have a soft spot for, and their webmail is the best UI wise, in my opinion.
Alot of people are really worked up over hardware DRM. I think that if it becomes reality, people will eventually find some way around it, hardware side. Just look at all the modchips available for Xbox, PS2, etc. Those all let you get around hardware protection in some way.
I don't see why or how TCA/DRM on PC's could be that hard to circumvent either. Modchips would move from consoles over to computers.
Another feature could come from folding windows. This feature could be "Window backing's" Think wallpaper, except for the back of your windows! Who wants their windows plain and white on their backside anyways?
MD5 On the client side, seeded with the current time, and also send the time it was seeded with. The server would then deny any logins with after predefined limit.
Then, server side, have an md5 of the password, no seed, then seed the server's hash with the time the client sent (if its good).
This way, a person sniffing your net traffic would have to get the hash, seed, and then login within the time limit.
With sarge being frozen, and the release nearing, I am finally glad i'll be able to move back to debian. Ubuntu is nice, but debian gives you much more control out of the box.
What is keeping me off of debian right now is the lack of Xorg, and the official support for the amd64 arch. Those were both things that were a "coming after sarge" deal, and now it looks like all that waiting will finally come to an end, I hope.
www.popuptest.com Firefox once defeated this website with ease, now it shows em all:( Unfortunetly these days you have to take a agressive stance with popups, by constintly updating programs/plugins, or they start to show up more and more. Heres to hoping theres a new version of firefox soon!
oh really? only 2 worked on firefox 1.0, you must have disabled blocking or something. That, or my firefox is better than yours.
I used to have a flyback driver and an ignition coil driver. They were pretty cool, but you do have to be careful. Those don't just shock (the shock isnt the bad part), they burn too.
I agree. I run ubuntu "hoary" (unstable), just for the xorg packages, but i would like to go back to vanilla debian unstable, because i prefer to start with the base system, and build it up just how i want it.
Plus, by default, Ubuntu is too user friendly for me.
From the sounds of it, "other things to do" could mean getting their new p2p system up and online. That could be really good. If not, it could be really bad.
All anyone needs to do is protect themselves. You can connect to most irc networks via ssl, and if you PM between people on ssl connections, you're safe. Also if you talk in a channel set +z, that would be for SSL only users. Also, setting channel modes like +s (secret/unlisted in the/list command), +i (invite only), or +k (key protected, need key to join), would protect any outside users from seeing/entering your channel.
If a user would do the above, then the only way their IRC usage could be monitered would be if the server admins allowed them access server side, which most networks sould not allow.
Note that the +z channel mode is used in the ircd used by the protium irc network which is based on ircu with the nefarious ircu patch.
This is really only targeting those with existing steam accounts. Think about it, if someone without a steam account wanted to get HL2 for free, would having themselves banned from steam deter them from atleast trying to warez a copy?
Getting banned from a network that you have no intent of paying for access to in the first place isnt too steep of a threat.
Not that I am for their treating those who purchaced a legal copy (me being one of them) like criminals, with their activation or unlocking.
Welcome to last week. Honestly, it is such an old (yet funny) site, that i dont see why this made the front page. Might as well put an All-Your-Base article on the front page.
I would change for the reasons that i like the interface, and the eyecandy is amazing. Also, in my opinion, mac OSX is everything linux wants to be, but can't be.
Debian is still living in the past it seems... even unstable does not have xorg yet. I have a feeling that it will be coming soon. Untill then I can just compile my own.
Now, Your teachers depending on their level of expertise will probably either ask you to remove that theme or actually wonder what the heck is going on. This can be a good thing if your teachers are smart - getting them to join the rebellion will help you in your fight.
My teachers are beyond stupid. One of my teachers told me, not to remove the theme, but to "get off that site", and one of the library/"computer techs" told me not to do that because its easier to get viruses.
People should really get rid of that mental block that makes them fear the things they know nothing about...

Time for MS to remove solitare, and sell it as a stripped down version of XP for buisnesses and state/federal employees to use.
