Perforce definitely doesn't require you to lock a file before editing it. It allows you to do so, but it doesn't require it.
Maybe it's some policy put in place by your company.
Why are we getting a report about New York laws from the BBC? I have a hard time believing that they were the first to the story, so why not skip the telephone game and get it from the original source?
Actually, my friend had an anti-virus system that worked via proxy (his server downloads the content, then scans it, then serves it to the end users), which would replace a website's ads with his own. (It was totally sketchy!) His algorithm to determine if a site was a porn site screwed up a few times though, so people got porn ads on non-porn sites.
"They talk in circles and can't provide any definite explanations as to how something like this would work."
Would you respect this man as a business man if he were to tell the secret of his invention to the whole world in a Yahoo news story?
I read the Metal Gear novel when I was very young. I remember it being a very interesting book too, though that may have been because it was my first action novel. I had never even played the game, heh. The book gave hints on how to play the game after every chapter, which I thought was neat. Of course, having never played the game, I didn't know if the tips were actually useful, or just filler to try and push the game.
I did eventually play the game Metal Gear with an emulator and was severely disappointed. I don't think I could make it off of the third screen.
The Chicxulub meteor is thought to have been 6 miles wide, while the Wilkes Land meteor could have been up to 30 miles wide -- four or five times wider.
It bothers me that that calculation isn't quite as definate as it should be. I've yet to see 30/6 = 4.
Wouldn't it just be easier and cheaper to use the internal computers to do that? The cars with the digital spedometers know how fast you're going for sure, the analogue ones probably do too.
Well, this isn't a book, but just as good. The Game Programming Wiki is a great resource for game programming in several major languages. There's also a very active message board that is extremely helpful.
That's a silly way of measuring innovation. By that logic, if we killed off half of the world, this would be the most innovative year ever. I like to call that Bush logic.
The problem isn't that she's toting around a piece of technology worth atleast $1000, or that she had her iPod stolen by some university student. It's not even that you bought her an iPod and a brand new laptop and then sent her off on her own. That is, with a credit card of course, because you never know when you might encounter a cute pair of shoes that you must have, oh and then that panda-skin purse to match. Wouldn't it just be easier to track her by her over-priced cell phone, or the RFID tags in her designer clothes?
The real problem is that she doesn't belong in university, but your wallet didn't understand that. $50,000 later, and a sudden switch of admissions officers, and you've just unloaded your snotty, 18-year-old mistake on someone else.
You can hack Windows and hardcode the specific identifications of your USB devices into the code, and allow no other USB devices to function, if you want, but that still will not stop people.
One could easily bring in Knoppix, or something equivalent, and boot into an environment that doesn't share the restrictions.
Disable booting from CD in the BIOS? Most motherboards have a clear CMOS jumper. Maybe you could change the BIOS code, but then you could probably find another image on the internet and flash it again.
As long as these guys have physical access to the computer, a software solution will not work.
RantRadio, has many interesting "radio" shows on their talk stream, the majority of them being intelligent. Also, most of the shows keep archives of their previous shows, so you can download them and listen to them whenever.
My favourite show is Nuts and Bolts, a show dedicated to computers and technology.

Psh. How hard could a shrub be to hack? It's a kind of dirty, but with a little digging, you can easily get root.

Using a service like rssfwd.com, you can just have feeds sent to your email. I used to use it a lot, until Google Reader came out.
I'd like the be the first to welcome our cheerful overlords...

Joe Satriani's Mountain Song sounds much better.

The Eraser bot for Quake 2 did this.
I saw a TV series about this a few years back... Does this guy have psychic abilities now?
Same here. Sounded like someone was given a last minute extension, or something. Looks like we need to come out of our semi-conscious states too.
Finally, VB can get the recognition it deserves.

Also, there is Tales from the Afternow, a cyberpunkesque audio narrative.
