My ex wife had her account cleaned out. She didn't save the receipt, which for that particular ATM printed the whole number, and someone watched her type her PIN code (via a long lens). She wasn't liable.
it requires an "Apple computer with built-in Firewire port."
They always say that, but I don't have any trouble with iMovie with my desktop (beige) G3 with a 3rd party Firewire card.
He says "What I would build wouldn't be a traditional OS, it wouldn't have a traditional GUI, but it would run on Macs, it would run on Wintel boxes, and we'd license it so as to make money from our competitors."
Of course, no mention what it would be. I don't think he really has a clue what this next 'super innovation' (like the mac was in '84) should be, but he blames Apple for not coming up with it yet.
Not to mention that no one would buy it because it wouldn't be adopted by the PC builders because of the restrictive Microsoft license terms (even with the DOJ after them), and that most consumers wouldn't buy it because: "it doesn't {look,work,smell} like my {PC at work, Mac at School, Foo at Bar}"
So, he's claiming on one side that they've changed the interface too much going from OS9 to OSX, and on the other side that they aren't 'radical' enough. Sure Jeff, whatever...Just remember that "real artists ship!"
Why should online be different from print? Can you report on a libel case and reproduce the libelous statement in print? If so, then why should online differ?
I do sometimes back-up to see an advert that I just blasted past (I've got Tivo v2.x, so no 30sec skip). Usually its for a movie that I'm interested in seeing. Sometimes it's just a clever add for something I'd never buy. I think ads will continue to exist. Certainly there will be more product placements, but I think also Advertising companies will get smart about making their ads grab attention even at 30-60x speed.
Right, the same works for operating systems too. As soon as we can get all of the opensource programmers to abandon this silly Linux thing and embracing Windows and improving it, the better off we'll be...

Although it might have been useful to include a setting that lets you choose both drives, there is probably a good reason why NickLock only allows you to select between single drives or none. For one thing, only a few drives run as slave by default if no jumper mode is set. The majority of drives run in single or master mode by default, and if you use two of them, there is no way to assign the specific drives to master or slave, thus causing a conflict.
If a company is going to take a SSN, a birthdate, a name and address as proof of identity, then they need to be responsible when it turns out that the person supplying the information is not me.
Now if I sign their application with my 2048-bit private key (public key on file with the CC company and with the credit reporting agencies), that's something different:-)
So yeah, during night flying pilots could use their instruments to tell them they were going up, down, or sideways -- but the coffee never lied.
Um, not quite. A fluid, like hot water in a bowl will only tell you that you are accelerating upward in the sense of the plane, not the sense of the ground. Ie, you can do a loop in a plane and not spill your bowl of water, and you can pile-in just fine while pulling positive G's the whole way:-(
Not a pilot, but married to one:-)

You've probably seen the videos of black smokers giving off what looks like soot on the ocean floor. Well, sometimes they get carried across the ocean floor with the plate, but instead of getting carried into the subduction zone, they get scraped off onto shore. You can find the remains of one if these in the back country of Santa Barbara, CA.
I just read part of the judgement here:

And it looks like the key is this:
"The warrantless arrest of anyone violating these provisions is expressly authorized by statute, but the police may issue citations in lieu of arrest."
The decision points out that governments have enacted laws which enable arrest for misdemeanor offenses since before the revolution (and later in American history), so it can't be argued that the framers of the constitution intended the 4th amendment to be protection against such laws.
So, if you're worried about this, you should lobby your local/county/state lawmakers to not pass laws which allow arrest for misdemeanor offenses.
I talked with my physics professor back in college (~12 years ago). The problem with it is it takes an large amount of energy to de-orbit each crowbar; much more than will be delivered to the surface by the crowbar. Not to mention that you use still more energy putting each crowbar (and the fuel to de-orbit it) into orbit in the first place.
I agree about the stupidity vs. malice, but the trouble is they shouldn't have upgraded software on units which weren't subscribed. The software upgrades was part of the subscription. Granted, I bought the lifetime subscription, but I think the non-subscribers got screwed this time.
Imagine if you had one of those Nextel phones that works as a two-way radio to other Nextel phones. You don't bother to get the cell-phone service and you just use it for the two-way radio. Then one day, the company (with which you don't have service) decides to 'upgrade' the firmware and removes lots of functionality as a side effect. I'd sure be pissed.
Staples doesn't charge _me_ differently based on my zip code. I never pay list at Staples. I just decide what it should cost and print out a web page with that price:-)
Actually, the iButton is _designed_ to do the encryption. You authenticate to the iButton with a simple password, select the app you want to run, then pass it data. Depending on the app, it can encrypt the data and pass the encyrpted (or signed) data back.
If you're really paranoid, you want to transfer plain ascii (or something else you trust not to have the ability to 'hack' your viewer on your Palm) to your Visor (with the iButton plugin on the back), view it and make sure the data your iButton is encrypting is the data you told your PC to encrypt...
Basically it would take binfmt_macho to be written, maybe an extended hfs (if we don't have an osxvfsshim module). And the syscall translation shim.
That will only buy you UNIX apps. Most of the ones you and I care about come with source and recompiling isn't a big deal. What you want is the OPENSTEP layer ported to Linux, and updated to any changes made for OS-X. That's GNUSTeP:-)
But it's going to take a lot more than 6 months.

In general the problem is that programs may scan the directory in order to determine if they are going to write over a file and fail to detect if they are.
If the programmer were to do this, it would be an error on their part. The should use the filesystem API to ensure that they don't overwrite an existing file: open(foo, O_CREAT|O_EXCL) otherwise there's a race condition!

Yes, but you have to remember that those Network Television Execs spent good money on those Government Officials ^H^H^H that bandwidth. :-)

Given how I feel about cats, I think that would be great! Of course having to wear a grounded copper mesh suit around the house would be a pain...
Well, they'd fit on this:
Runs Linux!
And at 9.9 OZ and 150x80x26mm (5.9x3.15x1.0 in.), it's not too bad, size-wise.
Of course, with a USB interface, it would take about 3.79 hours to load up (at theoretical 12Mbits/sec).
Hey, remember the site on the net that had the lyrics to many songs that got shut down? Embedding the lyrics to Penny Lane is illegal

Not sure about the bandwidth, but it'll cost you about $30 total, plus some work.

Actually, in Alaska, the mosquitos _do_ kill moose. You just need enough hungry (upset) mosquitos (voters).
