I thought the writable surface on CDs was on the "outside". (And thus, buffing it would be a bad idea.)
I heard this while someone was explaining to me that the writable surface on DVDs was sandwiched between two plastic discs....am I mistaken?
Not to insult your wife, but it seems to me that access point, firewall, and other passwords to "shared" items can be shared with her if you instruct her never to type them except into the proper prompt. But since it is likely that she will forget them from disuse, you might as well have them in the safe anyways.:\
Except that you can no longer see what you're actually doing because the screen is facing the other way. I guess a 45-degree angle would be a compromise.
Just because they are students doesn't mean they can't be as anal about their formatting as a some business power user with too much time on his hands.
But hopefully, they will adapt and actually benefit from the money freed up from licenses (as opposed to legislators seeing this as a chance to slash funding).
I would guess that fansubs aren't included because:
1. They have been released in Japan
2. They are not the version that would be released in the USA when it gets licensed
But how many of the "google evil" hits were talking about "google's do no evil" policy? And how many of the "microsoft evil" hits were actually flaming microsoft?
A BitTorrent streamer would be great, but depending on the bitrate, uploads may cause performance problems with the streaming download. Also, I am a firm believer that torrents work because people leave the torrent going after they've finished dowlnoading.
I think they are enforcing their old policies rather than implementing something new. From what I've seen with domain permissions, Windows already has finely detailed (granular would be the word) permission settings available.

Actually, I don't think a society without laws would work. Others have posted some reasons that I will not restate, but I started thinking about murder. This is somewhat of a fringe case since people in general do not go on rampages but how dishonest is murder? There is not much deceit involved in the plain act of killing a person. This falls squarely under "moral issues" though...
I'm a little "meh" about the "security configuration wizard" (personally, if you're using a wizard to configure security you probably shouldn't be admining a server in the first place.
That's not always true. A wizard that quickly macros something you were going to do anyways sounds like a great idea.
I say this could be a problem with the expectations of an LCD. LCDs are known to have dead pixels and if manufacturers aren't willing to spend the $ to ensure 0 defects, they should let people know up front.
People are expecting a replacement for their CRTs which only have dark/light pixels if their broken. Or if they're like me, they think of calculator lcds... how often does a cell on calculators or clocks not light up!
Of course, they'd rather go with the shady route and hope that people don't bother with returning something minorly defective (or hope they don't even notice). There's the problem of selling a product with "10 dead pixels" vs a competitor that doesn't mention it at all, but wouldn't that indicate the whole lot of LCD makers are dishonest?
But why would you be carrying the CD with you anyways...
You probably have space for another cd if you're carrying a laptop. It's not like your handheld can take cds in the first place?
Why are these various circumstances necessarily bad?
The assumed reason for DRM is to stop unauthorized usage of the content. The current implementation happens to also prevent authorized usage. I thought _that_ was the main problem.

Actually, wouldn't it be a logistic growth curve?
Logarithmic?

I know for sure if I was one of his kids, I wouldn't WANT to connect to his network!
Maybe he's just being a good parent and keeping his kids from turning into IRC addicts.
Then what he really needs is a password on his drives. From the "5 passwords to boot and login to email" line it sounds like he might already do this.
Encrypting his personal files would also help and I don't think he mentions this in his routine.

In mine it's 14. But when they return to US soil, they'd have broken the law and (supposedly) be procescuted.

If you can't find something important on Google, do you just giveup?
By nature of the lecture being composed and presented by the speaker, it _is_ under copyright.
Then again after their service is completed, they may be more mature and disciplined having been in the military.
This kind of laziness is almost certainly the exact reason the dupe was posted.
...economic gain at steak.
Time for lunch, is it?
The great thing is that if your ISP already agreed to that CoC, then who cares if you're running up their operating costs.
