Changing your mac doesn't make you harder to trace. The dslam where your adsl modem connects uses fixed port for your connections, and keeps list of macs which connect through that port.
As far as I understand, DVD games work with menu scripting languages. It offers basic operations with disc, and setting certain values to control game state. Saving state after removing the disc is impossible tho. Grab dvdremake pro from dimadsoft, and import the dvd to "see the code". It won't be commented and it'll look something like: 1: R[0]=12 2: if hilighted (TRUE) goline 4 3: jump VTS 2 4: jump VTS 1
but if you read it through and figure what each variable does, it should make sense.
Operators here haven't tried the described style of advertising. If I understood it correctly, verizon forces users to use their proxy while browsing, and feeds the ads to customers through it.
I'm not sure about mobile data transfer pricing in US but here in Finland operators charge $(euros)/MB rates depending on plan. Loading ads while browsing would mean you're actually paying your operator for displaying you ads!
I tried the xp64 in march 06, intel cpu, asus motherboard. Xp failed to recognize the sata controller, gigabit nic and scsi controller(new adaptec card).
I also tried xp64 on 64bit amd at same time. On that system everything pretty much worked, but I still ended up replacing it with gentoo. Main reason being, I had only time limited license so I would've had to reinstall in few months anyways.
I switched all my boxes to 64bit at spring. Only 32-bit systems left are my laptops and I'm not in hurry to replace those. After selling the old components, I was left to pay $50-100 per system for the upgrade.
As for XP-64, don't bother, its utter crap. No drivers whatsoever, and the ones you can find are buggy as hell. If you want 64bit win, you'll have to wait for vista.
For linux, I'd recommend gentoo, but if you're unsure and don't want to compile the entire system, suse or ubuntu works aswell.
Sun heats moon surface enough to make it warmer than surrounding space. It cools down during lunar night, but it always remains warmer than surrounding space. So, no. Simply pointing a infra-red camera at it won't do the trick.
Digita is building country-wide solution in Finland based on first one.
What's interesting about their project, is that they started building in mind of covering all rural areas before offering service to larger cities.
Location awareness is one of the key elements in 4G spec. It opens several great possibilities for applications using your current location.
At library or movie theatre? no problemo, phone goes in silent mode automatically.
Focused advertising, when going past some store, you get discount offers to your phone.(where permitted by law)
Need to find restaurant but stuck in weird part of city? no problemo, your cell phone knows where you are and can probably recommend good place, and even give directions how to get there.
You're lost and you fell down and broke your hip/ankle etc and can't walk? no problemo, your phone can give your location with greater accurancy than triangulating by cell towers.
Those are just some crude ideas, the possibilities are almost limitless.
GPS phones from Benefon aren't that much of news tho, they have been manufacturing them since ~2000 or so.
Disney is notorious with inserting tons of advertisements of their other new dvd products on dvds. My friends with kids often drop their newly bought disney dvds to me for reauthoring, simply because the discs contain too much commercials instead real content. One of the worst cases I've seen had 8 episodes of the actual show and 12 commercials, one between each show, 3 at the beginning and 2 at the end.
Burning a remastered ad-free backup for daily use isn't such bad idea since the kids will probably get their hands on the disc, so the original is safe in another cupboard out of reach.
The lottery spam is still alive and kicking even in banner form, like the university of liverpool and other online degree spam.
I entered this "lottery" with few spam-only accounts, just to monitor what kind of mail follows. If I recall correctly, first response to the original "lottery" was request for nominal fee of $20 to cover the processing expenses of mailing you your new green card. Since the nominal fee wasn't paid instantly, they were kind enough to send 4-5 reminders that the fee is still unpaid. After that, Mr D. Rivers-License has been offered wonderful opportunities to buy viagra and other subscription medicine and fake watches.
Shortly put, just another way to harvest working email addresses for selling them to other spammers. Sadly, if someone is stupid enough to think they can win a green card from lottery, they actually might buy something from those other spammers aswell.
I wonder if they have separate database of people who actually pay the nominal fee which they sell with higher price.
Assess the need of services to provide to students, webmail, directory services, course pages etc.
Make the services available over net.
Kick residential networks completely away from university network.
Then you won't have to worry about what students do in their network, since it's operated by third party operator, not by university.
Third-party operators here are student unions etc, which partly/entirely own the housing which students rent,
and network policies are set at student level.
Don't use abloy classic. There's tool called "wiggler"(rough translation) which can be used to pick abloy classic locks and it doesn't leave traces either.
I'm not completely sure on the principle of how the device works, but I'm assuming it has somekind of slot decoder which allows reading the key sequence in the rotary discs, and then copying new key with matching rotary set.
The device won't work against modern abloy locks like exec and protec.

I just wonder why on earth is that device listed as phone prototype. It has been mentioned on slashdot before and it's prototype for electronic paper, as the e-ink name suggests.
Making calls is assumed to work, atleast here in europe where we have basically 100% coverage. I can't remember when I couldn't have made a call because the service was unreachable, or I was dropped from call due bad signal.
I was talking about encrypted data partitions, not just swap, but encrypting swap is as(or even more) important than encrypting data. I agree with you fully with that point.
Encryption won't protect you from hackers if you have the drives mounted 24/7. It's only good for protection against stolen data, eg. usb drives or cds/dvds. Or, if you keep your entire computer at unsecre location, and are afraid that someone will steal the entire machine(root crypto).
But remember, encrypted filesystems are vulnerable to cryptanalysis since they contain specific information at specific blocks even if encrypted(ext3 header etc..) Encryption won't give you perfect cover, but if you really have something valuable to protect, it's decent way to go. Performance WILL be an issue, don't be blinded with those luks graphs, real world performance will be much closer to the cryptfs/encfs performance numbers, but it's fast enough. Just encrypt what you have to. No need to encrypt entire system if you can get away just by encrypting home dir.
Parallels is insanely fast compared to xen and vmware. I have gentoo on 805 d clocked to 3,2 and I can easily run 2x winxp on it without too much degration, and still run some applications on gnome side. Running three client hosts starts to affect to performance some, but most people just need one client which would give almost native speed on both linux and windows.

How about using motion sensors?
No need to worry if you forgot the light on or not.

Use epoxy. Just mix the two compound and fill in un-used ports.
Great securitywise but kinda limits future expanding.
