That's all well and good, except for the fact that most hard drives purchaced these days have a mfg date and default warranty experation date. You could get lucky and find a drive old enough to fool the court, but not very likely.
Boot from CD and randomise empty space on suspect drive, times 32. Might take a few days, but hey...:c)
he can't leave his bedroom for two months during curfew
I was punished that way as well (6 months in a stretch). Didn't have any electricity either. Had to read books by the light of the moon. I read a lot though.
Is this just a localised Linux distro, or does it have other specific properties? Small footprint, extra security, that sort of stuff? TFA weren't too clear about that, and the gnuLinEx website was a bit... Spanish.
In basic Jet-Pack training they will teach you "buddy fueling"
Your best buddy when parachute jumping is a 'Ditter', a device next to your ear, that starts screaming in your ear when you descend too fast, too low. If you can't hear your Ditter, then you don't have to worry. Anymore...
The only thing stopping them from doing it right now is allowing people to purchase with cash. Cash is a problem, because it's harder to trace cash than it is to trace credit cards.

In Amsterdam (Netherlands) public transport is switching to a mag-stripe card system. Things are getting worse and worse, every failure of law inforcement results in stricter regulation for the rest of society. Internet, phone, transport: nothing is excluded from spying and prying eyes.

If no one signs up then our countries military falls apart leaving us defensless. (And countries would attack)
If in other countries happened the same demilitairisation, then no other country would attack. You just have to get out of your 'pre-emptive strike' routine: not all countries support pre-emptive strikes.
Give the users ClamXAV, it's free and might not be such a resource-hog as the pay-ware. I use it private (and Disinfectant for the beige machines:c)), and Sophos as enterprise-sollution. Though the major causes are with 1) user and his rights and 2) applications that can be abused.
I still play Escape Velocity, and you're not gonna tell me it's because of the graphics. It's NOT. Sometimes the graphics have a minor, supporting yet elegant role. Sometimes that is a strong quality.
I missed my most favorite RSS-reader Vienna: fast, small, FREE, compatible with NewsNetWire (as in: very easily transfer all your favorite streams, and never look back).
Good grief, if I saw a kid running through the halls with scissors, AND the kid has displayed death threats toward a specific person INSIDE the school, one MIGHT think that that kid was going to stab that person! No more scissors in schools! Think of the children!!
His Dark Materials was not that fun for me. I guess if I had read it as a kid I would have enjoyed it much more.
That's one of the things that change when growing older: the joy in fiction. A childs ability in believing something is incredible compared to that of an adult. To dream the dreams of an innocent child... my youngest (3 yrs old) didn't walk on the grass next to the sidewalk, while it seemd much more enjoyable thing to do. So I asked 'why?'. 'Because of the monsters, they only move under the grass', she answered happily. To me that was incredible, to her it was that days' reality.
Rowlings first books were not thát good either: interesting concepts, but she lacked a bit experience. She learned fast:c)
Have you ever read Flowers For Algernon? There is a reason why that story is a sad tale instead of a joyous return to a blissful state of ignorance.
Well Í have. It's sad BECAUSE two personalities (genius vs. retard, excusez les mots) are described, and none are preferable. The responsibillity of having to make choices, and be doomed to bear the consequences: thát's what it's about. Being cared for at six, play with sticks and mud-pools, enjoy life as it is without having to thing further than another day, perchance a week. When summer holidays lasted forever, chocolate was plain good, bikes could fly if you just tried hard enough and animals could speak. Have you ever read Calvin and Hobbes? Winnie the Poeh? 'His Dark Materials'?
If the iPod market fails the company is history. That should give the fans nightmares.
Apple has been dying since, well, over 20 yrs now. They produced some lousy products all those years (yes they did! Don't make me mention the Performas!) and their roadmaps have been damned as well (Motorola could not deliver, IBM couldn't, Intel mistook the word 'wafer' for 'toasting iron'). Yet they're one of the best in the market IMHO.
(but the question was one of several on the website I linked to, used to verify you were old enough to play Leisure Suit Larry 3.)
Sapperdeflap! I guess I was old enough {evil grin} but not old enough to own a computer and games and stuff. Love for Sail was the last one, or am i mistaken?

And when are you permitted near children? Because with your attitude you won't be popular around schools and playgrounds.
Otherwise every newcomer would not have to be treated with some respect, would it?

Free? Consider yourself on the run for the rest of your life, you're not free. You never really win. Just like from the MPAA.

Especially the people that are of little use to the rulers are subject to poverty. Time for a proper democracy combined with literacy.

let's not forget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_O'Donnell,_Jr Kevin O'Donnel, who wrote ORA:KEL ( Berkley Books, August, 1984). A lot of likeminded ideas arose in that era *sigh*.

*badum shing* Thank you thank you, I'll be here all week, try the veal!

Sir, I will find that feature, and then I'll hope that Dutch companies broadcast time. Thank you all, you have been really helpfull.
Missing option: tourists. I like your sig though :c)
