I don't need this certificate myself. Can someone explain why I can't obtain one proving my age (42) and sell it to a youngster? All other attributes are masked.
Because the system digital signs your identity by tattooing a digital signature of your biometrics across your forehead.
I find the monitoring of citizens location during every moment of a cell phone call to be a bit more frightening than not being able to use false data to register an email address. Why'd the pseudonym get bigger billing, as it were?
Because it plays to a wider audience. Everybody hates spam and thus can easily relate to why someone would want to use a bogus email address. Most people don't care about being tracked by their cell, most have yet to figure out that, "you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" is totally bogus.
Faking involuntary contractions is next to impossible. So, an accurate test is to insert a digit in slot-b. A few rhythmic contractions in a row and you can be pretty sure of the authenticity. If you get the timing right, digit insertion can even be enough to trigger the event. Get the timing wrong and you may get a slap instead.
I'll put more faith in this alleged consumer demand when Linux boxes start outselling all other systems by a 2-to-1 margin. In fact, I'd be amazed if they even sold at a 1:2 margin.
Both are ridiculously high bars to measure up to.
No one is asking for Windows to come pre-installed, because it already does. It does not require any funny-business for a survey like this to be correct and still only represent some small fraction of total sales. It just means that of the services or products Dell does not currently offer, pre-installed linux is at the top of the list.
Sorry, I do not and never have bought the stupid user argument as an excuse for only using basic commands. People are responsible for knowing the tools they use. I have not advocated that rm be globally aliased the way I alias it, but anyone who chooses to alias it that way is responsible for that decision. Like I said originally, I have been regularly using that alias and never had a problem because of it, that sort of empirical proof is all I need to show that the alias is worthwhile.
No - at least it behaves identically on the dozens of unixes I've used over the years.
If you look at my output you'll see that it didn't recurse either. But it did indicate that x was a subdirectory. Up to the user to be smart enough to realize that a subdirectory might contain something. Since this is tcsh, ls without any flags does the internal ls-F command. If you don't use tcsh or disable that automagic aliasing you are welcome to change the alias to explicitly call "ls -F" or even "ls -FR" if you must see the contents of subdirs.
I don't know if "dusting" a group of people would work very well because after the event the tags would get on anyone that passed thru the area. You would get identified as being at the event when you simply passed thru after it was over.
Fascists don't care about accuracy (just look at how accurate the no-fly list has proven). If a few dolphins get caught in the net with all the tuna, that's the dolphins' problem.
Then I guess your post is an opportunity for you to learn that "never once deleted something by mistake" is a whole different animal from "never do anything by mistake."
They are probably better off storing the key in the middle of heap allocated memory block used by the system, making sure that all sorts of other bloatware junk necessary for the correct runing of the player program is stuffed in the haphazardly as well, whilst simultaneously doing absolutely no fancy tricks during the actual process of getting and handling the volume key.
You can't hide in plain sight for the very simple reason that it is trivial to take a memory dump and programmatically walk through the dump trying every single 128-bit sequence, takes about a minute to do it on a modern system. That is exactly how muslix64 figured out the original volume keys.
At least with tricks to keep it in registers it requires actual analysis of whats going on to figure when the key is present and what it is.
which, unlike "rm -i" prompts just once no matter how many files are being deleted. I've run that way for over 15 years now (damn, I'm getting old) and never once deleted something by mistake.
To whomever rated this a troll, do you think I made this up? It works, I think it is stupid that it works, but that doesn't stop it from working. A troll is someone posting something they know is false just to provoke a reaction. My post is neither false, nor intended to provoke anything but reflection on how screwed up typical customer service departments are.
And before the "Apple stole from Xerox" comments start, they actually hired a bunch of the Xerox folks who then went to work on the Mac.
So you are saying that Apple stole the people with the ideas instead of just the ideas?
According to the infallible wikipedia Xerox actually sued Apple over the UI design. The case was thrown out due to the statute of limitations having expired, so legally we will never know.

But ISPs are common carriers, are they not?
They are not. Only Telco's have common carrier status in the USA.

You are referring to slot A.

A serious answer to a rhetorical joke:

As always, use the right tool for the job.

...when it was learned that it contains small parts, not suitable for children under three.
Given the political context that should read, "...when it was learned that it contains small parts of children under three."

Uh, a spreadsheet?

Personally, I think any alias of rm/mv etc is dangerous because there's always a time when the alias isn't set and you will rely on it.
Not in this case, the alias uses "rm -rf" no one will mistakenly do an "rm -rf" they will only do an "rm" since that is what they are used to.
slashdot ate the alias, it should say
/bin/rm -rf \!*'
alias rm 'ls \!* && echo -n "Remove (y/n)? " && if(y == $<)

Why the fuck would the Recording Industry Association of America care about movies being pirated, precisely?
Because they have a very strong sense of empathy?
I mean, they are suing grandmas and invalids, how can they not?
I actually use [Shift][Delete] almost exclusively.
/bin/rm -rf \!*'
Me too. Yet on unix (csh/tcsh) I always do:
alias rm 'ls \!* && echo -n "Remove (y/n)? " && if(y == $)
which, unlike "rm -i" prompts just once no matter how many files are being deleted.

Didn't you know that "Child Porn" is the root password to the US Constitution?
With "Terrorism" and "Think of the Children" as the alternates?
That's the wheel group to you young whippersnappers.

Sorry bud, GP got it right. MPAA = Motion Picture Association of America, while RIAA = Recording Industry Association of America.
And together they form the MAFIAA = Music And Film Industry Association of America!!
- I have a document
- I convert it to XML
then what? Is this excellent news in theory, or is there a demand for this?3 Profit!!
