What happens when I screw up (again) and send my passport and wallet through the wash? Will this hurt the RFID chips (and presumably make me shell out cash for replacement IDs)?
The prize for the first successful hack, if there is one, is a Microsoft Xbox console package. In order for prize to be awarded, the hacker must send an email with the details of the hack to prizes@hackiis6.com and include the following:
Date and time of hack success
Legal name of hacker and/or team
Email address of contact person
Description of hack sufficient to verify that it took place
Really? I actually thought they were doing it because they can make money off of settlements for low risk (how many people have called the bluff yet? one? out of how many?).
I have an HP Pavillion ze5700(*)... the same size if not bigger. I couldn't stand a smaller screen though, or one that breaks the 4:3 ratio.
But I have a special backpack that has a laptop compartment alont the back, and I keep books and such in there as well. So when I want to take it out, slide the backpack up against my legs, open the back pouch. Pull the velcro strap, and slide the laptop up and out.
I'm pretty patient about things, but being strapped into such a small place for longer than 2 hours breaks my limit. It helps that I have good books, and a Sony walkman/mp3/atrac player that gets a good 20+ hours off of a set of AA batteries (rechargable, I might add...)
(*) A very good laptop, aside from the Broadcom miniPCI wireless. Need to use ndiswrapper. They also messed with some of the extra buttons, only 2 of the "multimedia" keys produce output in "cat/dev/input/whatever". The mute key doesn't output any there either, just the vol up/down ones. Same deal with the radio button (wifi on/off in windows. I could set scripts to do the same, but only if I can capture the input.
Well, I didn't actually subscribe. I logged in one day to find that I could see the mysterious future. I investigated, and it turns out someone gave me a gift subscription for 1000 pages (which I always view 'with ads' so the MF summaries, subscriber *, and +1 bonus never go away...)
You're welcome. Often when I stop in a forum (rare) or in IRC (often) I end up helping other people with the things I have worked through already, or try to help with things I'm not so sure about. I always make sure they know that I could be talking out of my posterior, though.
Long story short, I have tried a bunch of unsuccesful knee-jerk switches (I now have Redhat, Fedora 2 & 3, Debian Woody & Sarge, Gentoo, and Ubuntu lying around my desk...) and I have realized that it's not the way to do things.
Just because YOU have a Mac and don't care, doesn't mean that noone else cares.
I do care, myself. I try to use OO, but the exporting/importing from MS Office in 1.x has some problems.
I'm also primarily a Windows user (learning Linux on the side. I'll switch when I'm ready) and the 2.x betas are not provided as binaries. The sooner 2.x goes official the sooner I get my Windows OO binary, the sooner I can stop using MS Office.

The help menu. The same thing I did before Clippy, and the same thing I did during Clippy once I figured out how to turn him off.
So...

But the problem is that most people just don't think like that. They want it quick, easy, and secure.
Had to make it last name only, damn sig limit.
Maybe I'm just having a severe brain cramp, but I can't find it. Can you point it out? (give me a string to search for?)
Didn't know who said it. I saw it somewhere, stuck in in to replace my older, slightly mentally deficient sig.
Emphasis mine.
All this encryption does the job, untill it becomes too common and they decide to simply block everything that isn't plain HTTP or FTP data.
Well, that CPU would be used in the WiFi (and other) home routers, not necessarily in the users' desktops.

How about a structured directory tree? Guaranteed software compatibility.

I can benchpress that. It wouldn't be incredibly hard to move.
...what? A geek with STR > 10?
Am I a dumbass? Because I don't see anything like Redhat's installer (anaconda), and the Sarge annd Ubuntu installers look exactly like Woody.
What's the difference?
The flights I take are usually about 5-5.5 hours long. My laptop has a 2 hour and a 1.5 hour battery, so I can get 3.5 out of 5, that's not bad.
Don't you hate it when the jerk in front of you puts his seat back down and forces you to use your laptop on your chest, or half closed?
Maybe thats just me flying coach all the time...

Only if it gets rid of all the trolls and FPers...
Even if it was like $0.50 US the simple requirement of doing something might prevent people from doing it. Maybe. Probably not.

Er, wait a minute. OOo_1.9.95_Win32Intel_install.zip is version 2.0? It looks like version 1.9 to me...
Is it 2.0 for all intents and purposes?
Well, it's not very clear to someone that has been to the site at most 3 times. Thanks though. And thank you to the post above, as well :D

You can charge as much as you want. It's the SOURCE CODE that you cannot charge for (other than reasonable transfer fee. like for the CDR it's on)
