    Also if anyone wants to take this up with the administration, email the principal at stakacs@, call at +1 (919) 562-3600; ask for Mr. Takacs, or if you _really_ want to cause an impact, try +1 (919) 851-3980.

    Except that's just my guess as to his intent. His site seemed to be either a somewhat decent front or a site where he had forums and other things that happened to include a proxy. Either way, I haven't spoken to him but that's just my speculation.

    I go to WHS, so I know about this story. Basically he was running a proxy to allow people to visit banned sites such as MySpace from there, which was its typical use. Every time someone was in the computer lab, you'd see MySpace up via this website.

    Bingo, TC includes a feature known as Owner Override, which is exactly what you described. My Dell Latitude D610 has a TPM chip in it, but it's fully under the owner's control, e.g. disabled by default, and you can completely clear the contents of the chip by merely going to the BIOS settings and hitting the right button. All it's used for is to enhance encryption (things such as virtual disks).

    It's not really a WMF specific exploit, all a WMF is is a file of GDI calls basically. The exploit can be done in a WMF because they allow you to contain GDI calls, and the hole was in GDI.

    Forgot to add, for the first 6 months you have your permit, you're only able to drive from 5am-9pm. Its similar for the first 6 months of your license if you're under 18, except you can only have up to two non-family passengers with you.

  15. Re:Nice. on Neiman Marcus Offers First Moller Skycar For Sale · · Score: 1

    Here in NC, you have to complete driver's education in order to obtain a permit or license under the age of 18. No exceptions. Pretty much every high school here though offers it free (maybe its required by law to offer it?). When I had it at my high school, it was 30 hours of classroom time, and 6 hours of driving time. At my school you had to be at least 14.5 to take it, and to get your permit you must be 15 and have proof that you took driver's education. You can get your license after one year of having a permit. I believe it was $15 to get mine, there was just a simple signs test, a 35 question multiple choice test (you can miss up to 5 questions, I missed 2 or 3, it was pretty easy if you ask me) and a vision test. When you want to get your license, you simply just have to prove that you can do various road manuevers with a DMV employee in the car with you. Now if you're 18, you can just get your license if you can pass the tests (no driver's ed required). You can also say that you won't be able to pass the driving part, and get a permit then (or so I'm told, my permit expires on my 18th birthday though).

    Oh, and TI is an OEM licensor for driverloader, so the driver is *free* as in beer for an ACX100, ACX110, or ACX111 card.
    There's a GPLed ACX100 driver though, the only thing you need is the firmware, which distros like Ubuntu and such have a script that automatically downloads it. Not sure why it has to download it.. my guess is there's some sort of licensing restriction on it.
