Wouldn't work. Notice the new standard proposes that untrusted devices become read-only, which won't prevent the spreading of viruses carried by your USB device. And if you plug a USB dongle into an untrusted computer, or vice versa, you deserve what you get.
What this calls for is a little more intelligence in the OS, not for a new hardware standard. Quarantining new partitions so only special users can purge/clean them before general usage...:-/
Iraq's repayment of reconstruction is going to come at an oil price to the US of x% cheaper/bbl than OPEC would normally allow. The Administration surely isn't counting on Iraq to start paying us back (if ever) for at least 5 years. You have to feed, cloth, and rebuild hospitals first.
In the Reagan vs. Bush comparison, I can only add that at the time, the Soviet Union and the nuclear disparity (the illusion anyway) constituted a clear and present danger to the United States, as at least one close call at NORAD nearly brought us to the brink of nuclear annihilation.
Iraq posed a danger only to his neighbors. While I'm all for the elimination of evil dictators, and the delivery of self governance to peoples all over the world, doing it at the point of a gun where to opponent presents no clear danger, and whose citizens hate us is stupid.
The issue of Iraq breaking the UN Peace Accords it voluntarily agreed to is the ONLY reason I feel the war in Iraq is justified, notwithstanding the above feel-good liberation aspects which are nice, but do not justify unilateral invasion on their own.
Because with a ratio of 1:30 to 1:100 helpdesk:users, I don't have time to debug everyone's little problems with Explorer. For BSODs, I'll try to fix them if they happen more than once, or indicate filesystem corruption (ntfs.sys in the stack). Other than that, you have to take a backseat to the latest server upgrades, financial accounting rollout, and VPN installation.
I do know that with the Radeon 9600 at least and Battlefield and Doom3, if you don't have the monitor plugged in (via Belkin KVM switch), DirectX will fail to properly initialize. You will have to reboot in order to correct the issue. I only occasionally have this problem with Counterstrike (1.5, 1.6).:-/ Silly little problem, really.
At the moment, that's the only reason I've had to reboot my XP machine, silly DirectX game bug. Then again, I tend to do most of my suspect software testing in a VMWare host, and not on my master PC, so I avoid a lot of the "registry cruft" and "dll hell".
Life in the Windows world will be nice when Microsoft brings virtualization to their workstation product.
IIRC, even if you have lockout set up, if you can use the File-Open/File-Save dialogs, you can run programs simply by double-clicking on them.
There are some fundamental flaws in the Windows policy architecture that cannot be fixed without addressing some core issues. The fact that Explorer is pasted on top of the OS rather than fully integrated is part of the problem. Most of the Policy architecture IT departments are using is explorer lockdown, which doesn't penetrate to the OS level.
Is not a data warehouse by definition mostly read-only, with primarily batch updates from other data sources?
In which case, a parallelized DB would seem to excel in this usage, whereas in a system of mostly updates, it would tend to fall down pretty quickly...
Which has always been the bane of loosely coupled CORBA. I'd love to see some form of DCOM/CORBA interface gain utility throughout the Unix realm. Having functionality inside discrete black boxes is useful, if done in a way that allows versioning. COM, while ugly, is fundamentally Microsoft's #1 advantage in closed-source development.
The NRA is the single most pro-training organization in the country. I took an NRA handgun safety course from a certified NRA instructor of 15 years to get my license to carry.
The NRA is the only organization I know of to have a program specifically designed to teach kids how not to get killed by guns. Google "Eddie Eagle".
Face it. The NRA as a group is a whole lot more responsible about gun ownership than the rest of the population trying to take away our rights to own guns makes us out to be.
What I forgot to specify in my other post is that the only thing this protects is the government doing bad things in places Joe Citizen can't get to, like Area 51, or any high security military installation, or say, downtown Baghdad.

Right. It'd have to be Infin.* in a regexp. Methink the OP was probably indicating fileglobbing, and nothing else, in which case it would work.
Damn. As a once-stuck-in-the-uterus fetus, I'm slightly disturbed by knowing that.
:-P
I hate you all.
If you could find me a reference to that, I'd be delighted...
Gee, layer 8 in the OSI model is the user, right?
/etc/profile likely, and it tends to show up better than > or ? do.

Yup, and giving out $1 beelyon in free software to schools is punishment?
Sigh...

I sure hope the rest of your country is compensating him for having to turn in his guns...

And you call Americans barbarians...
Are you kidding?

I've heard of it in relation to diving accidents, but never giving blood...
You bastard, you took my job... :(
Only if I get a clipboard...
Gotta have my clipboard....

If they wait that long, by then they'll have lost the X Prize...
Come on, if it's got Ben Afleck in it, and it doesn't have either Robin Williams or Kevin Smith in it, it's gonna suck.
Ummm... I call bullshit, or at least Urban Legend. Name me one time this has happened. I hate to tell you, but that's physically impossible.
Air pressure @ sea level: 749 mmHG.

If your story was true, your lungs would never work.
Are you kidding? I don't think I'd fuck that with your dick... :-/
I personally don't understand women who are absolutely infatuated with Jolie... it just doesn't register in my male hetero brain....
Anywho, back to your regularly scheduled wank-fest.
Amazing what you can do with a dark room and some glow sticks.
