Simple solution. If you live in a country that uses the metric system (most of the world) then use "A4". If you live in a country that still uses the Imperial System (the USA and a few other countries that are slowly converting to metric) then stick to "Letter".
So what if you live in Canada, where we use both the metric system and US letter paper?
I've never even really understood a need to secure my VM in the first place
A hacked VM box can be used a couple of different ways to get "free" long distance.
The easy way (rare) is if the system allows unrestricted outbound calls from the voicemail system.
The more interesting trick is to replace the greeting with a voice repeating "yes" a few times, then placing collect calls to that number. As long as the telco's automated voice processor is happy that someone said yes to the charges, then the call goes through.
I'm aware of no law making the owners of public property law-makers via sign. If they want me to leave, they can inform me of it.
Well, then I'll just assume you aren't in Texas, because this is covered pretty clearly in the mandatory training you receive before getting a concealed carry permit.
Under the Texas Penal Code, if you carry a concealed handgun onto a property that was properly posted with conforming signage, you have committed a Class A misdemeanor. A Class A misdemeanor conviction will get your carry permit revoked for 5 years, plus a 2 year waiting period before you can reapply.
Don't take my word for it. I posted the link to the relevant code in my original message. There's even an FAQ.
Violating a sign that says "no X allowed" isn't breaking the law.
No, but doing X where it isn't allowed is. (How does one "violate a sign", anyway?)
The signage merely informs you of the fact that no privately owned guns are allowed to be carried on the premises in a ready state. The most common reasons are that either the location is excluded by the carry law itself (hospitals, etc), or that carrying is against the wishes of the property owner, which makes entering those premises while carrying an act of trespassing.
In some states, e.g. Texas, the signage must meet specific requirements in order to be enforceable, but since you didn't refer specifically to ignoring non-compliant signage in the state of Texas, I'll just leave that as a sidebar.
A carry permit comes with responsibilities, which include respecting the wishes of private property owners and the other conditions of the permit. See http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/ftp/forms/ls-16.pdf#page=76 if you'd like to read up on the subject a bit more. (Sorry, it's a poorly scanned PDF.)
So, unless your argument is that a carry permit somehow trumps all other laws, including the carry permit legislation itself, I can't see how your original claim that "these [sign ignoring gun carriers] are law abiding citizens" can be justified.
I'm interested in more details about the ones who passed the test in XP and Vista. Specifically, how did they acquire the software needed to create a letter in Word or PDF format?
Now, why most people aren't using 10.*.*.* as their internal stuff I'll never know. Since the overwhelming majority of machines on the internet aren't (and shouldn't) be directly routable, it's an awful waste to not have organizations behind NAT-ed firewalls and not drawing from the common pool of route-able IP addresses.
Well, for one reason, different organizations frequently have a need to connect their networks together.
I did some work awhile ago for a group of 6 hospitals that needed to join their networks together to facilitate some resource sharing. 4 of those used overlapping space in 10.0.x.x.
Since nobody would bite the bullet to renumber their network, we wound up having to use NAT on the client side of each connection to translate the server addresses of the "central" hospital. Then they wanted the central servers to be able to print to local printers, so we had to NAT those backwards from the server side of the connection as well.
All in all, it created a highly unmaintainable mess that would have been avoided if they had all been using centrally allocated addresses. Yes, one could argue that the regional hospital authority should have centrally managed the 10-space, but then what happens when the regions want to share resources?
Maybe you should "require" yourself to read a basic Wikipedia article before trying to "require" citations from them.
Then again, you or your parents are probably Teachers-union types who vote along union lines, and would prefer a German system where Home schooling is illegal. For the good of the people, of course.
You know, I was going to thank you for backing up your original claim in a useful, informative, and thorough manner.
Too bad you turned into a fucking asshole at the last minute.
Actually, most home-schooled children outperform non home-schooled children in academics, and are more socially well-adjusted than non home-schooled children.
You can rent a VPS for only $20 per month. It's just easier and *know* that you're the only one who has root access (assuming that you keep updating your system, of course).
You don't *know* any such thing.
It sounded to me like the OP was concerned about protecting his data from the hosting provider. Trolling through the guest filesystem is a trivial exercise if you already have root on the VPS host.
The headphone jack is an assistive device. It's sometimes called a "talking ATM". The idea is that a blind person can be prompted through the screens. (Notice the braille dots near the jack.)
But yeah, the domain not available thing is funny.
The tech who came in from sympatico when I moved to a new location said "We put a cap at 4." Presumably he meant that your line only supported 4M, so that's the profile you were assigned to.
Interesting. I'm in Canada, and we don't have a choice of corporation types. The tax advantages are similar - home office expenses, mileage, etc. I have two ways to get money out - I can pay myself a salary, or I can take dividends.
On any amount I pay out as a salary, I have to withhold income tax in addition to the Canada Pension (our version of social security), and remit it by the middle of the next month.
For small businesses, corporate net income is subject to tax at about half the personal rate. Dividends are paid from after tax income, and are then taxed personally at about half the rate of normal income. The idea is to make the salary vs. dividend choice tax neutral. However, if the corporation expects to pay more than about $1500 in federal and provincial taxes, then you are again required to remit instalments monthly. You don't have to withhold personal taxes from dividend payments though, so you get to earn the interest on that portion at least.
Me? I like to be able to put that money into a savings account, and draw interest on it before I pay the govt. I like this much better than giving the govt an 'interest free' loan for them in taxation.... Veering way off topic here, but I'm not familiar with the US system. Don't you have to either pay your corporate taxes by installment, or submit payroll taxes on the salary you pay yourself?
Fingerprint reader software (such as the wonderfully open source ThinkFinger) map out a fingerprint by locating easily identifiable marks, such as swirls or dead-ends, and map their proximity to other easily identifiable marks. As this girl is seven its fair to assume that in a few more years her fingers will be twice their current size.
The fingerprint will be the same, but scaled up so all proximity will be lost.
All that may be true, but it doesn't prevent them from simply re-enrolling her fingerprints every year or so as she grows.

How so? Most registered gun carriers I know completely ignore those signs that say 'no guns'. These are law-abiding citizens.
And you said that without a trace of irony? Wow. Just wow.
I suppose I could settle for a minor fiefdom.
D'OH! :)

OK, I modded you funny. Where's my kingdom?
Whoa, dude. Switch to decaf.
If all you wanted was grep for Windows, why didn't you just say so? 3 seconds in Google gets you about 6 different ones to try.
Then again, if you are trying to compare two filelists, diffutils might be a better fit.
I prefer the gnuwin32 variants myself.
And it won't be long before that crack becomes a hole big enough to slap the user through.
Heh.
Personally, even the school wireless routers that I manage have WPA2, AES with PSK's in the range of 512bytes each.
Seriously? You use a 512 character password? :)
Assuming you meant that you use the full 64 hex characters (512 bits), did you realize that the PSK is hashed down to 256 bits anyway?
I'm surprised Harper hasn't offered to go down on May for Green support to greenwash the Conservatives.
Could someone please help me to the eyewash station? I'm blind now and must eradicate that image from my brain.

Well, I always make it a point to click on the ads for those sites that try to sucker people into paying to download free software. Does that count?

That's exactly what I, er, somebody else did!

Apple's hardware costs 200% of Dell's.
Well actually, the article is correct to say that Apple's hardware costs 200% more than Dell's - it's 3 times the cost, or 300% of Dell's.
Telnet popups. Heh. I just had a Telix flashback.
