There was a big controversy on freebsd-stable awhile back on the evilness of the tri-state option. I think its an ugly fix, but nothing else seemed any prettier.
You can always check/etc/defaults/rc.conf. I believe it is noted in there.
Actually, the expiration date uses a super-secret algorithm to verify its correct. The algorithim sort of goes like this:
int check_exp(unsigned long date) { if (date > todaysdate()) { return 1; } else { return 0; } }
. Now don't tell anyone.
The expiration date only has to be in the future (some reasonable amount of time, a card expiring in 2048 probably won't work). Things like CVV and CVV2 (the ones which require you to put in the code on the back or front (Amex) of the card) help for simple credit card number theft, but the number of online merchants requiring this is still very low. Even AVS (Address verification) isn't done by a good number of e-tailers. And as long as there are places selling things the thief wants, which don't use simple to use security measures (AVS, don't ship if billing address doesn't match), credit card number theft will be a problem.
MythTV actually has very mature modules that let you play your music library, your DivX file library, check the weather, browse images. Removeable media support (Playback & reading) is absent.
A decent tuner card does not run for more than $60. And you only need one (MythTV for example can use more than one though). Now, a TiVo (not counting service) is still cheaper than a PC you build for the same functionality. Thats what you get with mass produced bare bones hardware.
Man, how as a card-carrying geek can you include a movie in which a kid describes a pre-OS X Apple Mac as a Unix system in your list?
Think A/UX, and that system was an SGI actually. The big-fat developer guy was using a Mac though (lets "teleconfrence" by playing a video in Movie Player, wheeee):)
Which is why I'm not going to try installing any Turbo Tax.I wonder if C-Dilla is smart/dumb enough to write to the correct boot disk (Win2k is on a slave disk, but Windows bootcode thinks its the first disk. Yay GRUB drive mapping!:))
What about basicly every 3d modelling and animation package on the planet? They all run on OpenGL, and many of them are cross platform. OpenGL isn't going to die any time soon. Direct3d may just become the little cute 3d API which people write games in, not for any "serious" work. I don't see any signs of 3d application developers porting to Direct3d.
What if NASA were to emulate the very successful DS1 mission? They could probably get to Pluto in a pretty reasonable time, but its still the issue of the powerplant (RTG would still have to be used). Just a thought.
Actually, I have a dual PPro 200 (512K cache) running as my gateway/printserver/fileserver myself:) Love the machine, never caused a problems, solid as a rock, and not dead slow either.
If you're doing software updates in the dot releases, many places now offer pre-printed CD-Rs. The CD-R is printed using silkscreening like a regular CD. Might be more cost effective than self printing labels, or looks a bit nicer.
My Audiophile 24/96 has full sample rate control, from 8KHz to 96KHz. It also has some other nice clocking features (sync on SPDIF in, sync all the cards in the system, etc)
There is a different between a lossy encoding of an MP3 and an original CD track. If you play your music through "computer speakers," you won't know the difference. Good quality audio equipment will instantly reveal any difference.
I don't think you know what RFID is. RFID is a very small chip with no power source of its own. When it comes close to a specialized broadcaster, the chip will be powered via. induction and broadcast a small tiny ID signal back. Your Range Rover probably has a commercial satelite service called OnStar, which is a very different thing than RFID.
What I'm suprised to see is that no one has created an "Open Source Certificate Authority." Sign keys for a nominal fee ($5, 50% donated to FSF, EFF or something), and get this key published in OpenSSL and Mozilla (IE might be harder to do). The idea is simple, but would you be willing to bother?
Good point. Convection, as I intended to say, only makes sense when it is designed for it. You are not going to gain anything except a dead power supply in the standard power supply arrangement if you killed the fan.

You can always check
You need to set sendmail_enable to NONE, not NO. NO simply disables the actual port 25 server, but not the mail queue.
Does this qualify as the shortest story on /.? It does sound like a very expensive sports car, at over $100 per battery pack...
(Excuse the offtopicness, but I don't feel like registering so I can read the story. Google News doesn't seem to carry it yet either.)

Huh?

Note this is for Motherboard/Processor/RAM, so, if you get a $425 processor, you won't be finding a board and good ram for it for $75
At $500, you have just limited yourself to a mid-ranged Athlon or P4.
No need to duplicate the effort.

Don't you already activate your car? You usually tell the DMV and insurance company of your new whereabouts.
No, it should EJECT them, but aimed at the closest physical trash can.
Where is the +1 Sad moderation?

Yes, this at least used to be the case. I need to look at newer versions of Windows Update to confirm that.

You're running OS X and Madrake on an Athlon? Can I get a copy of your OS X for x86? :)
Isn't MP3Pro designed for lower bitrates anyway?
