That would be nice.
In the meantime, use VLC. It plays DVDs and has the option to stay on top. Combine with GeekBind to be able to easily set the transparency of the window. (you can also do it through the VLC prefs)
He says that restoration helped even the new scenes, the ones shot for the special edition. I don't think so. Those were shot with modern aids. VHS just made them look shitty.
Mechanically authenticating is definitely on the way out; there are much better ways coming.
Also, brute forcing can be made impossible enough by not making public the password hashes (those are rarely public nowadays).
Brute forcing right into an online service (password testing) is so slow (and should be stopped by the service after a few attempts) that I'd guess that six character passwords are plenty in that respect.
If we really can't live without public password hashes, maybe we'll just add another letter to the password every... three years or so?
We should stick to 8 characters with strong goodness checking until we got the better stuff going. Mandatory password change is bad for said reasons... it would even be much safer to have a sysadmin manually approve new passwords to weed out anything that the automated checks doesn't catch as too easy, and not force a good password to be changed.
There are better ways to battle leaked passwords, like always presenting to the user from where they last accessed the service.
Long time ago... much knowledge ago.
I was helping a friend install a NIC. His Windows 95 would freeze while booting with the card inserted.
I don't know if I knew about safe mode... can't have, really. Or was it that it crashed then as well?
I booted the computer without the card and then inserted it while in Windows. This will be hard to believe, but I'm willing to swear by anything: Windows popped up the "new hardware found" alert! After driver installation, the computer did no longer crash at boot...
I meant that it's not a solution to book prizes... since new books must come from somewhere. There is always a good deal of people that would have to buy the books for the high prize. You would notice this in that the cheap books on eBay and Amazon would run out. That said, it seems to be a sweet rebate for those who use it. Were more people to use it, the prizes even for used books would rise. There is a balance.
How can they argue that they do not overprice their books [in the US] when you can pick the same book up in Europe, for much less.
And what is really funny... it even says on them "Not for sale in the US" [because there we have this really good thing going on with the other publishers about not going below $0.2 per page EVER].
The one thing missing is the CoreAudio drivers for this baby... so that not only iTunes but any app can push out its sound to this baby. Check out http://cvs.opendarwin.org/index.cgi/projects/Netwo rkAudioDevice/ for a stepstone...
I'm sure it won't take long.

We all know that kilo in KB often means 1024, like mega in MB often means 1024*1024. Not all know that kilo in kbit/s means 1000...
I think we should give back 1000 to kilo, and use the new kibi for 1024. Like in "50 KiB/s is not broadband".

That is not right. Any new disk is capable of delivering about four times the speed of 100 Mbit/s Ethernet. When transferring large files, you would also really achieve that. My Macs all have GigE built-in, and files fly at up to about 30-40 MB/s between them.
Four times the speed (one fourth the waiting) is no laughing matter.
Another tip: Don't forget that IP over FireWire (which you might already have in your computers) might help you out, in some fortunate circumstances. 400 Mbit/s is quite alright.
There is absolutely no security requirement! Security is supposed to be applied in other layers, with SSL and stuff running on top of an assumed unsecure link.
It would be *nice* if there was better encryption support at low levels, to overall prevent information leaking, but even total lack of such features would mean no step back from IPv4.

That's a great solution... let's all get our books from eBay:) Won't really work that good though, will it...
