I've been telling my bosses about the threats that our browsers and unpatched machines pose. There are countless machines that are not patched on our network and our data center did not have access to XP SP2 for some two years after it was released because the machines weren't allowed to install it under our super user account, but field services never came to install it for us because it's too much of a hassle for them to get physical access to the data center. So we couldn't install it, and they wouldn't. I actually hacked the install to my machine with an admin account I had access to, but even after demonstrating to my boss a malware infection and how the patched machine was NOT vulnerable to it he didn't think it was much of a big deal. As long as management (manglement) doesn't understand the threats posed to their networks, then they will likely stay vulnerable. In the end no one cares until they loose data and of course, by then it's too late. Maybe if they lost some MONEY they'd listen. This case was a power grid, something is important for a great number of people. But most companies won't listen until you tell them they are loosing money.
RME are NOT consumer cards. They are expensive and meant for audio production. I think you might be saying the same thing as me, but RME Hammerfall cards aren't even in the same league as anything Creative or Asus offers, including EMU.
Not to attack you or anything, but just how internet savvy do you have to be to know that communicating with people you don't know can potentially be dangerous under any circumstances?
I hate that stupid rule, having to power something on to prove it;s not a bomb. Would it be any better to have an explosive go off in a crowded airport terminal? Does being in the air make your eminent death that much more scary or something?
Thanks,/.! I wasn looking for some material for a good new GURPS campaign and now I have some. CAn't wait for this thing to go berserk and start attacking ships in low orbit.
True, but horseplaying and toy weapons never got anyone expelled and definitely never prosecuted while I was in school, although I do remember many an office trip.
Would a group of students wasting the police's resources by staging some convincing (and likely quite humorous) staged incidents indicate to people who little protection camera systems like these would provide? Or, perhaps a female student who may be prematurely displaying the signs of puberty could be the focus of the same camera everyday due to her class schedule? These sort of things are prone to more abuse than they are to help, and I can guarantee that I'd have cracked up some particularly hilarious pranks to pull on a school camera system, if one were present at my high school.
... those two ambiguous hairlines running horizontally across the screen and all. I got my last trinitron two years ago at a great bargan, a 27 inch model bought specifically for fighting games. At the time, all the flat panels were having a difficult time with input lag, a no no for fighters and many other types of gaming. But my trinitron looks awesome whether displaying television or me kicking ass at Street Fighter Third Strike. When I entered the industry as a broke teenager, I wanted a trinitron monitor sooo badly to play Everquest on. A television to math was just out of the question outright. Then I finally got my Trinitron and realized that there was no way my video card could output at it's highest resolution. That was an awesome problem to have, and to fix, as I saved up and got my other target acquisition at the time, a Geforce card. It kinda makes me feel nostalgic, looking back and remember that era of electronics. The trinitron was definitely an icon for gamers and AV enthusiasts.
The Evolution series of fighting game tournaments can't even touch the type of thing we see in Quake, and Halo tournaments, yet people practice indeed several days at a time most days of the year for these tournaments. I can't even imagine the sort of time a player like Justin Wong, RX, Sanford Kelly, and Demon Hyo has to put in in order to compete at the level they do so consistently. Personally, I'm a casual tournament player and I've spent hours at a time, sometimes the better portion of a day simply exploring one move. Often, I'm only concerned with a few animation frames of that move, or perhaps just one specific hit box. It's that intense, and if you're a professional you BETTER be training that often if your livelihood is going to depend on it. Another funny things is that as an contest winning saxophone soloist, I often practiced just simple long times for hours at a time, trying to reproduce the previous note perfectly. It doesn't matter what you're trying to be the best at. It takes practice.
Oh god, now you have me drooling over the prospect of having a western (cowboy) themed MMO. My quick-draw bandit would be the FEAR of every stage coach route from here to Dodge.
Hmm... as a system OPERATOR I already knew that information. But thank you for enlightening the rest of us. It still disturbs my sleep when a job decides to throw a flag because it didn't find data because there is no customer data and I have to write it up. But meh. What am I gonna do? find a real job?
Let's get them tapes out sooner so I can get a full hour nap in before the day shift comes in!
Too bad all the new power will likely go toward some new automation to page an admin when his print job abends because it tries to retrieve data from a subsystem during scheduled downtime. Oh well.

Or just give lots of people cancer. Either one.
So... you want to see some fake dicks. Go you.

If a person using an app like this started seeing his future in it.

when you can just use a RepRap?
Actually, it usually means you could have, but didn't act soon enough and now she's reneging.
Didn't we already have a 9800? http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9800/radeon9800pro/index.html
LOL now I wish I bought that novelty key holder that looks like a switchblade.

.... tells you right out how many include fire and/or explosions. That's the sort of data a geek REALLY needs.

Oh my, how you deserve a +1 funny. And a medal.
Just wanna tip my hat. Th f4 was an awesome (but god awful ugly) plane.

... that I found out about this on /. when I have CNN on right now? Half expected them to announce a new Firefox 'sploit.
