Netbook loaded with CS4?? Wow I didn't realize how far that term had been stretched. I thought netbooks were supposed to be low power little internet gadgets.
For all the players putting their arms around eachother and kicking everyone else in the shins. At least that sounds like what the poster was talking about.
It seems to me you either mistyped an existing domain, or correctly typed a nonexistant domain, unless of course you actually meant to type a different nonexistant domain:-)
umm, doood, why is PS not working when you swap out one of its DLLs with a "hacked" version some evidence of DRM? Adobe is perfectly capable of creating their own convoluted licensing enforcement without Microsoft getting involved.
And I must ask, if you are looping the output into the input of your sound card (which you seem to be doing) do you even have the competence to ensure you don't get good old fashioned feedback? This "story" really reminds me of some of the stuff I overhear from the seventh graders at the school where I work.
Do the Slashdot rubber stampers even read this stuff before putting it on the front page? Or is this some devious troll because we all quit reading idle?
You still need to do homework. I realized a while ago that I not only lack a good understanding of potential weaknesses in my sites, but I also lack the knowledge needed to actually do the forensic log analysis if I was to actually get exploited. Along the lines of the original post, what good introductory tools are there that relate to forensic log analysis?
Mark Twain did not say that first, in fact, he attributed it (incorrectly) to Disraeli, who also did not say it. It was apparently said by another Brit politician, giving a speech in the US, I would look up his name, but I gotta go to work now.

ummm, a hexagon does not have a diameter, and in fact if measured point to point across the center is significantly wider than if measured center of side to center of side.
My mom uses one that looks like the Euro lapdesk on that site, except it has a mesh beverage holder and a remote control pocket. She bought it at WalMart for ~$15US. Works well. Foam beanbag on the bottom, big enough for a laptop and a small mouse if you need one. Probably not wide enough for a widescreen monster and a full size mousepad. She likes it.
I think people are missing what is meant by time limit. Once you crack the DRM you can watch the movie forever. The dizzie guy (I hate to call a guy that just runs other people's programs a hacker) was talking about the time limit from NetFlix that determines how many movies you can download, for example an $18 subscription allows you 18 hours of movies a month. Once the DRM is removed you do indeed have full and complete access to the movie.
Jeez, doesn't anybody actually read the source of these stories?!
He didn't say his phone was better than an iPhone, he said the features which are touted as new on the iPhone are not as novel or original when compared to the phones on the Japanese market.
In fact, I think his actual question was more like "Why are the features of the iPhone exciting, when the U.S. market should have been providing those or similar features already"
He doesn't dis the iPhone (other than implying it and all other U.S. phones cost too much).
In fact, his question is not low level enough. What he should be asking is why can't I buy a phone from any vendor, then a SIM card from a service provider, and plug it in and go?
Why do we in the U.S. have to even deal with ATT to get an iPhone? Why can't I just put a Verizon SIM card in my Nokia 3200? Why is the U.S., arguably the technology forerunner for a lot of the 20th century, falling so far behind so quickly? I mean, "No Child Left Behind" shouldn't have done that much damage yet!!
I think that what is happening is a stratification of economy. In the U.S. we have "evolved" past the customer is always right business model, and entered the age where a companies most important job is pleasing stockholders, not customers. Europe and Japan were quick to adopt (and improve) many of our technological advances in manufacturing, etc. over the past hundred years, I just hope they have the wisdom to avoid adopting our economic "advances" now.
hmmm, last time I looked, Romex was normally used to describe house wiring, came in 14, 12, and 10 gauge, in eith 2 or 3 insulated conductors, plus a bare ground. Not sure exactly where in a transmitter one would use that....
There are things that must run as root to work. The common way to allow normal users to do these things was to make them setuid, which meant that the application always runs as its owner, no matter who launched it. Yes, this can be a security hole if not configured wisely. Stuff that requires configuring network interfaces is a good example. This method allows an application to be run as joe_user, but still access privileged system calls, depending on configuration. It is less of a security hole than what is being done now.
There are 100 thousand million potential individual combinations available if all digits between 0 and 9 are employed. It is likely, however, that each country would administer its own numbers and use its own area and country codes, which could further increase the possible combinations.
Now I may not have a four year degree, but 11 digits base 10 means 99,999,999,999 maximum combinations (who would be willing to be #0?)
I don't understand how each country administrering its own numbers can increase the possible combinations. Do reporters just say this stuff to fill space?
I have this scenario running in my head. Company A makes a nice video card. Company B also makes a nice video card. Company A however has someone who thinks like me, but doesn't have any ethical hungups. Company A buys a bunch of Company B's video cards, installs them in machines with XP, and proceeds to intentional create device driver errors, flooding the MS database with false data, causing MicroSoft to blacklist company B's Video driver. To quote the MS document:
Example of a generic driver-blocking message is:
A driver is installed that causes stability problems with your system. This driver will be disabled, please contact the driver manufacturer for an update that is compatible with this version of Windows.
The persistence of this message is intentional and will continue until the user installs an updated driver or a generic family driver for the device. Microsoft does not want users to run device drivers that may sacrifice data integrity or stability.
Am I the only one who runs older or unnofficial device drivers to resolve conflicts with other driver, older hardware, or just windows wierdness?
Obviously there will be a way to get around/disable this, either officially or not, but that won't be used by the vast majority of users, even if they knew what a device driver was.
I guess when I have to run windows, it will be Win2k for working machines and Win98SE for game machines, as far as I can tell every version from now on will have to ask Bill Gates pemission before I can click the mouse.
I have to agree to this, in fact I was reading down hoping to be the first that said it. The last good innovation from lego was the expert builder series, when they first came out with shafts and gears, since then the pieces have been getting more and more specialized, to the point of uselessness. But in all fairness, if you have acces to a genuine Gilbert Erector Set, look in the section in the back of the plan book where they sell little plastic parachutes for your carnival rides and such, Building toys have always tended toward specialization as they age. I think the problem lies more in societies trend towards specialization which is manifested in the toys.
As an IT guy in a f-500 company which is all WinNT on the desktop (job security) I can say that you can write all the rules you want, even live in ISO standards, and there will be someone that figured out a way to make Joe's secretaries computer run that program that kept crashing with some little file.reg in the startup folder, and he will be long gone when it comes back to bite some other tech. Now, given that truth, exactly why is Linux bad?
I keep seeing these supercooling articles, and because some of you guys seem to know what you are talking about, I begin to question my own intelligence. Isn't the whole point of cooling to prevent the release of magic smoke? And to do that, isn't maintaining room temperature completely sufficient? I understand the challenge is to get the heat away from the chip with it's small surface area, but a dialectric liquid with a heat exchanger in a tepid bathtub would work as well as dry ice or !liquid nitrogen! Am I off base here, or has someone confused colder with better?
The EULA may specify 18 or older, but the Corel Public License on the source makes no such license. I guess this means that the only minors allowed to download this stuff are the ones with the experience and know-how to build and compile it themselves.

If ONLY the 4 hour has Bombadil, that was my biggest disappointment.
where do you live, I'm sure it would fit next to My SUN 690/MP which is a full 22inch rack. I'd hate to see it chopped up.
if only his wife woulda stopped him before he butchered a real computer and an erector set to make this poor thing
yup, and light beer ended bar brawls too.

Don't tell anyone, but the high speed datalink is an RS232 serial port in a 15 Pin Dsub connector. That's how Tivo controls your DSS receiver.
