I've actually seen that kind of thing happen in a company that shall remain nameless. due to a twisted bureaucracy, the other guys weren't allowed to reboot the damn machine and they had to get the sysadmin out of bed to come in and hit the damn button.
But, you are correct some dolt would be carrying a Desert Eagle and start firing randomly with 300 grain FMJ ammo. If a terrorist tried to take over a plane where all were armed. There is always an idiot in any crowd.
I'd think a reasonable compromise is only allow the "safe" weapons to be carried. require the gun and ammo be inspected and have standards that must be met (bullet size X or smaller, must be Frangible, etc.) and stow guns that don't meet the standards (have a special storage area to put the guns, then give them back at the destination.
and since we were originally talking about a DS/otherconsole, the house analogy is completely irrelevant to it. while it is possible for them to make you sign a contract to the effect, they didn't, thus you should be able to do pretty much anything you want to do with it.
Does the device have sufficient legal uses, or not?
as far as i understand it, it wouldn't really matter if it had a million legal uses and 1 illegal use, it would still be able to be considered illegal under the DMCA.
then again, my caffeine might not have kicked in yet.
said modchip is illegal under the DMCA, regardless of intent.
which is yet another reason why the DMCA needs to be ripped into little pieces, then ripped into littler pieces, and then burned and the ashes cast into the wind.
you can change the link colour there too. make a new document with the default template and open the styles and formatting pane from the format menu, then set it to show all styles, then find the hyperlink style and select modify. you can change the color for it in there. be sure to check the box to have it add itself to the template so it will affect all documents based on the default template. there's also an equivalent style for followed hyperlinks, which is named as such.
that's where it is in word 2003, but i suspect it's somewhere similar in most other recent versions.
the setting isn't exactly in an obvious location, but it is there.
still, data like that being unencrypted is not acceptable. the intern is a dimwit (or was acting like one at the time), but the guy in charge of making those backups needs a smack upside the head with a sizable piece of lumber. the company i worked for would be fined up the wazoo for that kind of negligence and the guy who didn't encrypt the backups would be fired.
maybe they've improved it since i last tried it (just after SP1), but i did not find it very usable over dial up, even on my good dial up connection (consistent 48kbps with about 200ms latency between me and the other computer). very jumpy cursor and occasional phantom clicks. then again, various flavours of VNC didn't fare that much better, so it was more a problem of not enough bandwidth for the task than a problem with the software.
you sound like a teacher i had back in high school. she was highly light-sensitive. she couldn't look at a sheet of white paper without her prescription sunglasses on, let alone a computer screen. she was an excellent math teacher though.

You need to read your contract/EULA better.
what contract are you referring to?
I've actually seen that kind of thing happen in a company that shall remain nameless. due to a twisted bureaucracy, the other guys weren't allowed to reboot the damn machine and they had to get the sysadmin out of bed to come in and hit the damn button.
Budget, government efficiency, consumer choice are not campaign issues?
to a statistically significant percentage of the voting population, the answer appears to be "no".
anyone got a list of the lawyers hired by each? any matches?

why do people need to take a telephone to an activity where you're supposed to be silent?
some are sysadmins, on-call doctors, etc. who need to be contactable.
most are just stupid jerks who need a good smack upside the head.

One or the other.
they want both and at current, they seem to be getting it.
Any other use is a violation of Federal Law
even that use is a violation of the DMCA, going by court rulings i've seen regarding it.
so my question is WTF is any branch of DHS doing enforcing the DMCA?
which is the same question the GGP is asking.
said modchip is illegal under the DMCA, regardless of intent.
which is yet another reason why the DMCA needs to be ripped into little pieces, then ripped into littler pieces, and then burned and the ashes cast into the wind.
You seem to be forgetting these things called `contracts'.
and i must be having some kind of amnesia as i don't remember ever signing any contract to buy a DS.
that works fine too.
Cave, basement, where's the difference?
indoor plumbing and air conditioning.
you're thinking neo-conservative. there's a big difference.
What if the printer printed it wrong and not the store? Does the store get screwed?
i presume that the store would then be able to sue the printer for damages over it.
Excuse my ignorance, but how does Google threaten Microsoft's dominance on the "desktop"?
Ginux is in development and will be ready for a public beta soon.
Because the usher represents the owner of the property you are on. If you don't like it you're usually free to leave.
after paying for tickets + food + drinks + etc. and not being able to get a refund if you refuse the search.

you can use RDP over even a dial-up connection.

in firefox you can change the default colour of visited and unvisited links in the content tab, then in colors.
IE has the same option in the general tab under the colour button, at least in IE6. dunno if it is in that place in IE7.

can you run Linux on it?
yes, but it would have to be a light distribution.
