You do realize, don't you, that "collecting" fake ID's from other people is illegal?
The ID is their property, fake or not. Taking it from them is theft.
When denying controlled substances (alcohol and tobacco, usually) to someone underage, you simply take the item as if you're going to ring it up, ask them for ID, and after determining that you cannot legally sell the item to them, you place the item out of their reach and tell them that you can't accept their ID. In many instances, you don't even need to take the ID from them for inspection (yes, most of them are that bad).
In any instance, the ID is their property and you should make a reasonable attempt to return it to them before they leave. If they leave it behind then come back asking for it, give it to them. It's not yours. If they (stupidly) decide to involve the police (yes, I've seen this happen), you give it to them as if they left it behind accidentally (which they did, if you've followed the rest of the rules), and the officer accompanying them will usually inspect it himself, find it to be fake, and arrest their dumb ass on the spot. I stress to you... I've seen it happen exactly this way, and not just once. And I only worked in grocery stores and only for about 3 years.
Disclaimer: IANAL, and I'm speaking about the laws for the U.S. states of Missouri and Illinois. I have no doubt that the law is similar elsewhere, though, since neither MO nor IL have ever been legislative trend-buckers.
If everybody used MythTV to skip commercials, there would be no revenue generated by advertisements as a result of those shows, and hence they would have to find another revenue stream in order to survive.
This is how the free market works, but only as long as all sides are selfish and greedy. If one side begins to cave-in and become lethargic or apathetic, the other side will dominate them. My time is far too valuable to be wasted by commercials, but my money is worth only a small fraction of what my time is worth. I would pay money for something I wanted to see. I will not give up my time. I have no problem with product placement (or what I call "inline" ads). They don't often detract from the show, and when they do, the show isn't usually worth watching. They also don't waste my time. They're usually an on-topic advertisement for a product I might actually use (like when Andersen Windows advertises on This Old House), just by being part of a show I'm interested in. But I can't think of one recent (since I grew out of the "ooh shiny" mindset at about 15) in-your-face time-wasting ad (the kind that they have commercial "breaks" for) that has shown me anything interesting or worthwhile. Ever. I've never bought anything based on some stupid TV ad. They aren't relevant, they aren't effective, and they don't convey a message to me about anything related to what drives my purchasing decisions. Therefore, I feel I'm doing everyone a favor by filtering them out. I don't have to waste time, advertisers don't have to get negative feelings toward them from annoying me. It's a win-win. Now they're screwing themselves (hard!) and I feel absolutely no sympathy for them. They can die in the dinosaur age they're thinking in.
TV can push, but we, the product, can just walk away. And when the product walks away, you have nothing to sell. Don't push or I'll take my (eye)ball(s) and go away.
Want the MPAA to hear you? Go to their website and vote for your favorite "movie" in their poll. Like that one movie, you know, "09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0". And then they want to know your email address. informationwantstobefree@mpaa.org sounds about right.
I encourage you to do the same and let your voice be heard. Or something.
You had me on your side until you stated that you trashed the network in retribution.
Umm... how did you get that conclusion out of "My classmates... essentially trashed the network until the end of the year in retribution"?
The GP dropped out and was not there to do anything to the network. His classmates were the ones that trashed it, proving the GP's point about the security problems he found.
As much as we/.-ers love to bash Microsoft, there comes a point when you just have to give them a bit of credit for their office suite. I've used Office, and I've used OO.o. They both get the job done. They both are usable for 75% of what needs to get done with an office suite. But MS Office just has more polish. For example:
- Keeping an informal "database" of crap in Excel or Calc - Both will sort the list by whatever column your highlighted cell is in if you hit one of the "A->Z" or "Z->A" buttons. But Calc will treat the column headings as data and sort them into the middle of the list! Excel knows that the first line is not data if it's a different text style from the rest of the list. Polish. - Printing in Excel or Calc - Having a sheet loaded and trying to print will print the whole entire freaking spreadsheet, all sheets, all ranges in Calc. That's just stupid. Excel will (for obvious reasons) default to printing only the sheet you're on. More polish. - Mail merging in Word or Writer - Trying to get Writer to realize that "mail merge" doesn't necessarily mean "i'm writing a form letter and want to import addresses" is like pulling teeth. Word has no problem with just binding whatever data to a form. Polish(x1). Also, Word doesn't force you (or confuse you) into creating an Access database when you just want to import an informal list of crap from Excel. Writer DOES try to get you to make a Base.odb file when you try to just pull data from a Calc sheet. MS Office Polish(x2). Then there's the lack of a data-bound preview... (or at least one that's as simple as Word's - a toggle button on a toolbar or a checked menu item).
Now, none of these are absolute deal-breakers, nor do they show that OO.o is somehow unworthy of attention. On the contrary, it shows that OO.o needs more attention, and from people who actually use the features they're coding. MS Office will only get better if there's pressure on MS to make it better, and OO.o is probably the best hope for applying that kind of pressure. I just think that MS really deserves some credit for making Office a decent app suite. They've done far more than most/.-ers want to acknowledge.
Just to clarify, none of this applies to the Windows vs. Linux debate. I want Windows to just go die in a fire. It really needs to be flushed like all the other turds.
The summary got my hopes up. I like C# and.NET quite a lot, but I also like Mac OS and Linux. I've been trying out Mono and Monodevelop (as well as some Xcode plugins for C#/Mono), but they're really not a good match for VS2k5 yet. (I'm hoping that "yet" comes true and doesn't turn into "ever".)
Unfortunately, only the "Core CLR" will be ported, and only to the Mac OS (probably due in part to MS Office for Mac), not Linux, and not even older (PPC) Macs. I also seriously doubt there will be much in the way of developer tools for the(se) other platform(s).
Sad, really. Office and VS are the only two decent Microsoft products, and they refuse to port either of them to a decent platform (aside from the tiny fragment of Office that makes it to the Mac).

Censoring a Number
·
· Score: 1
The number 1 cannot be copyrighted, but the 98641-decimal-digit number corresponding to the original Super Mario Bros. ROM images can be.
Unfortunately, explaining that to a lawyer (or politician or judge) is likely to: (a) be met with a fierce scowl at your "heathen" interpretation of the law, (b) be met with a fierce invoice for "wasting his time", and (c) his head asplode!!!11one1 None of those things is conducive to change, except with regard to your bank account balance in (b).
All that is illegal in this country is the government making a law that allows for censorship.
Like the DMCA?
This incident alone could set a huge precedent if someone fought back against the MPAA. There are only two legal outcomes:
- The MPAA loses, setting a precedent in future cases where they can't use the DMCA to censor encryption keys. or - The MPAA wins, they censor the number, and the DMCA is then officially a law used for censorship, making the entire thing unconstitutional and pulling the rug out from under the MPAA's case (and any future DMCA-based litigation).
It's win-win for "we the people", just as long as nobody caves in to the MPAA.
And now I immediately reply to myself and say that, yes, the root user is in there. I opened NetInfo Manager, and found that the DB is quite alive and ugly as ever. And/users/root is there.
The root user on Mac OS X is deactivated by default. You used to have to go into the netinfo database and change it to activate root (which you used to need for various things). Now, you don't need root, and I'm not sure if there's much of a netinfo database left (I think most things have been taken out of it by now, it was sort of a hold-over from NeXT and the pre-releases of OS X - sort of a Windows Registry For Macintosh thing... ugly).
sudo works fine with GUI's. What do you think OS X uses behind that "please enter your password so this installer can muck with your system files" dialog box? And no knowledge of which commands require privileges is necessary, since commands don't require privileges, data requires privileges. I can vi a text file belonging to me in my home directory all day and never need to use sudo. But if I want to vi someone else's files or a config file (or *cringe* something in/bin), then I'll need to sudo vi instead.
You're just flat out wrong about make install problems, since it will almost without exception fail on the first thing it tries to read, wasting a little over 3 seconds of your time.
And sudo isn't anything like Run As. I believe you're looking for su(that's "switch user" to all you non-*nix guys), as in su someotheruser -s and you can "run as" as many things as you want until you exit that shell. Want a one-liner? su someotheruser; foo-command; exit There you go.
The fundamental problem with computer security isn't that something can delete stuff from your home folder, since I'm allowed to make decisions that govern my own data (and I'm responsible for them, too!). The problem is that stupid users refuse to learn how to use the tools they're expected to use to do their jobs. How long would a lumberjack last on the job if he didn't learn how to use a chainsaw? What about a truck driver with no license? Now what about an office clerk with no clue how to properly operate a computer? See? That's the problem.
The little detail dropdown arrow should open up to an elegantly indented list of what privileged actions the app intends to do. Copy a plugin into/Library/foo? Install a kernel extension? Delete all user documents?
It already does that. Exactly that, in fact. It opens up and says "The application needs to install a kernel extension." or "The application needs to install plugins into/Library/foo." I'm not sure how strict it is on what exactly those messages can and cannot say, but I've seen plenty of them pop up and tell me "The application needs keychain access for the keystore ABC." and things like that.
I have to edit the registry every damn time i reinstall Windows. That's why I'm a Ubuntu user now.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Atapi\Parameters\EnableBigLba should always be set to 1.

Microsoft has to go and stink up the joint by making "easy for retards" software that is simultaneously counter-productive for anyone who isn't a retard.
Ubuntu doesn't do that. It's "easy for retards" in that you can just plop one of the LTS discs or an iso burned by a geek friend (or even a fellow retard) into your CD drive and 30 minutes later have a working machine. It's also not counter-productive for the rest of us since 99.99999999% of what even a knowledgeable user needs is ready to go from the start. 48-bit LBA is only one example. The installer attempts to use it by default and if it fails, it falls back to older stuff. The only thing I've had to use a CLI for so far in Ubuntu is non-included-on-the-cd software that isn't in a repository (e.g. VMWare Server and a self-compiled version of OpenTTD).
My beige G3 runs 10.2.8 just fine, and I've never seen any "Error 3"-type problems on it. Ever.

"Error 3" popping up when a program crashes usually/is not/ helpful.
There are two ways to correct this.
1) Find the APPL file (the executible APPLication) and open its Get Info box. Find the Memory section and double the number. 2) Wipe the HD and install a version of the Mac OS from this millenium.
Intelligent Design has its merits, but this doesn't even fall into the same category. This is more of an implementation detail. And while the design might be intelligent, the ongoing implementation is surely governed by a ruleset long-since finalized.
That's the one fact that most ID-ists and Evolutionists both miss, and it applies in nearly every argument they have. The problem is, it forces them both to STFU if they accept that fact, and when you have an agenda to push, STFU-ing is the last thing you want to do.
Can't we all just STFU along?
(BTW, your joke is not lost on me. I find it humorous as a dig on ID-ists even though I myself believe in a Creator.)
I didn't have this problem when I was younger unless I was very ill. I had horrible fever dreams of Wrecking Crew where I was on a 747 made out of those blocks and Mario and Luigi were smashing them out from under me.
More recently (within the last 3 or 4 years), I've been having dreams about puzzle games. If I play Tetris (Tetris DS triggered it), then I dream Tetris. If I play Bejeweled, I dream Bejeweled (or Puzzle Quest, this past week). If I play Guitar Hero, I dream Guitar Hero. But I think I've figured out why. My brain is pre-solving all the possible combinations of moves. It's kinda freaky. I'll play a game a lot for a day or two, then the dreams start. After a couple of days of playing followed by nights of dreaming, all of the challenge of the puzzle is solved, so it's down to simple muscle mechanics and the game is essentially beaten. It's only a matter of time before I totally destroy the game and begin looking for the next one.
And, yes, I think I might have a mild form of OCD.
