copyright can only be strengthened, not reduced, because of international treaties
Treaties are indeed an exceptionally powerful restriction on popular choice.
The are IIRC sub-ordinate to the Constitution, establishing an amendment with more appropriate copyright and patent terms would override any treaties specifications, and Santa, I would also like a pony.
Shouldn't that be: "Colorless green Cthulhu waits dreaming frumiously."
Or do I just have a peculiarly absurd worldview?
I wonder if there is an upcoming super-villain smack-down "Cthulu vs. Bandersnatch"?
I haven't noticed a substantive difference in the quality or price of soda and cheetos at the checkout end-caps of either specialty. The hot dog concession at Home Depot is particularly convenient when you on that third trip (Murphy's law for home repair requires three trips to the store) and still haven't had lunch.
*Sigh* Physical Access == Pwnage. The victims house was broken into!
Undetected access to any windows machine is trivial, you don't even have to bother cracking or overwriting an administrator password for something like this, boot a live CD, drop your incriminating files in a "hidden" directory and set the ownership of them to be the victim. Pop the circuit breaker before leaving with a paper clip for a plausible reason as to why the machine is off or prompting for a logon. Done and done, you are out the door and no one the wiser.
As for surveillance. How many homeowners A) have a properly maintained video survellience sytem? B) record the INTERIOR of the premises with a UPS capable of sustaining it for any appreciable amount of time.
Linux boxen are not much better. I would assume, since adopting Intel, a Mac is similarly trivial to suborn.
I would be just as vulnerable. Even with the above average expertise and knowledge I have in these matters, I have over half a dozen machines (windows server/xp/vista/7, CentOS, fedora, ubuntu, macbook, etc) most of which I have not bothered to install whole disk encryption, some have not been booted in YEARS and I would have no idea if someone managed to break in and Pwn one of those until the anonymous tip brought the LEO knocking on^W^W breaking down the door.
The solution presented is not much practical use in the real world against a determined, slightly less inept, sociopath.
he'd have to leave the basement during daylight, and sunlight kills the geek vampire.
The geek vampyre v2.0 just presents a "sparkle" special effect, which no longer presents a fatal environment. Haven't really seen the movie, since it does not appear follow canon, hopefully the observation is "factual" according to the new Hollywood paradigm for the little bloodsuckers.
Leaded fuel is not needed. Replace the valves/seats with "hardened" versions.
Did this on a 351 Cleveland in a 73 Mustang convertible a number of years ago.
Taking the heads off to bring to the machine shop was a far simpler project than it would be in a modern vehicle.

Sure it is, every collegiate knows how much booze they can swill before they pass out.

Now I'm really scared. I understood both the parent and GP references.
Allow me to express my deepest sympathies for your unfortunate condition. Hope it clears up soon.
Is your RAM full of llamas, too?
Don't forget to renew your subscription to the Economist. HTH.
I, for one, welcome our new SVG based, hardware accelerated pr0n overlords.

You must be new here, or using Lynx exclusively for your web browsing.
I, for one, think we are all much off when a Fanboi is been relieved of their Quaalude stash.

I don't think they have enough history of surrendering to actually qualify as being in French.

Thanks for getting that off your back.

Maybe we should embiggen them?
Ahh, another anomaly awaiting analysis.
Hopefully they are not strains resistant to antibiotics ... oh VB ... never mind. /Roseanne Roseannadanna
I think of it a TWADLE [The War Against Drugs (like Extasy)]
Since we are re-hashing, please note the appropriate reference to this imbecilic endeavor is "TWAT" (The War Against Terror).
KTHXBYE
What gives you the right to bring logic and reason to a /. discussion?

Assuming your extrapolated estimate is even in the ballpark, it sounds like a great motivation to contribute to the enhancement of the codec(s).
