How to not VOID your warranty on your new PS3

PS3 Opened For Pictures
·
· Score: 3, Informative
1. The warning seal is similar to the PS2
2. When the seal is peeled off, "VOID" becomes visible.
3. Under the warning seal is a special screw which must be removed to get the cover off.
4. When you remove the large screw, the cover can be opened.
a. These warning seals are comprised of two stickers, one with a stronger bond than the other.
b. Heat up sticker with hair dryer and take Exacto knife (any thin, very sharp knife will do) and carefully slide it between PS3 and bottom of the sticker. Work it around, be careful, and should be able to take the sticker off without damaging it (or the plastic itself).
c. When removing screws, don't go apeshit on them. Be gentle and try not to scuff the black oxidization on it. (they can then tell it was taken apart)
Correct or incorrect use of the apostrophe is society's acceptance of its use in these situations. Kind of like the comma, and it's use when listing multiple items. Example: One, two, and three|One, two and three (both usages are correct, however the latter was not until its "acceptance" some years ago.)

I would hope our public education is not "teaching" our students to "learn" to pass some test some who-knows-who-in-a-boardroom came up with. Schools should not be 9 month/yr brain dumps.
They have. It is very simple for them to distinguish the two apart, even if you put spaces in between or obfuscate it in some way that still has [at], [ a t ], or whatever... Just look at how many ways they spell Viagra, you think they couldn't do the same with at or dot?? To think otherwise would be naive.
I remember having the ability too. Did I care? no, not really. Have I changed sounds to something other than default? no, because I am fine with the current sounds. If they were incredibly annoying ("HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!" kind of annoying), I think I would have changed them by now...
It sounds like most everyone here is complaining just for the hell of it. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Overall, both companies are kings in there own rights, for now anyway. AMD holds ground in the CPU market like none other and Nvidia churns out next gen products at better prices and performances.
Maybe I'm just old school, but last I heard, Intel was king of the hill with their latest Core 2 Duo and Xeon processors...
Whenever I'm bored or feel like wasting time (or about to slit my wrists from manic emo depression), I just go to collegehumor.com or break.com and laugh my ass off at the pictures and videos people post.
I would suggest installing and subscribing to a content-filtering service such as WebSense. You easily enforce your Computer/Internet AUP. Monitor what sites are being denied (probably myspace being the most, etc) and print weekly/monthly reports. Assuming you want to stick with Windows, setup an Active Directory domain, enforce Group Policies, lock down the user account. Install SP2, anti-virus, enable the Windows Firewall, lock down ActiveX (it's unnecessary to install Firefox to have a secure browsing experience. If you lock IE down properly, your problems should be minimal). Disable unnecessary services, create a mandatory profile. And finally create an image with only the software students will use, and removing things like games.
This is by no means everything you should do, or even the start of what you chould... but it's something I feel would be the basic steps towards a more secure computing environment.
/Not wanting to sound like a salesman/, but Symantec does more than just anti-virus. They offer managed security services, consulting, business continuity solutions, ips/ids/firewall/vpn/content-filters, and a bunch of other products and solutions for small and large enterprises alike. To say they're only in business because of Microsoft's mistakes, is false. Sure, Norton probably got off the ground because of them, but Norton utilities is just a part of Symantec's model, just like Office is to Microsoft.
The last CD I bought was in 1998. If I didn't download music... I wouldn't be buying the CD anyways, the radio would be "good enough" and I'd be happy with that.
Definitely. This is something we're currently discussing in my Intellectual Property course at my university. We're covering various cases, including the "Amen Break", the use of the word "Google" in terms of searching the internet (and not particularly using Google search engine), DVD Jon's DeCSS, and other issues that constitue "fair use" and infringment of copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets.
I never thought a legal class would be so interesting, but it really is. It's greatly helped in understanding these cases, and I'd recommend anybody who hasn't taken such a class, to enroll in one in the coming semesters.
Polygraphs are used to see if you're lying. I know several people with TS clearances who have broken the law in their younger years, and did not deny it when asked if they did drugs, blah blah blah. Hell, having a lot of debt or a gambling problem is taken more seriously than having smoked marijuana in high school
What the FBI, CIA and NSA are looking for are truthful, honest people who will not be influenced by alcohol, drugs, money, or personal benefit at the sake of national security.
I was employed by one of the Raptor/JSF contractors
The F-35 is supposed to supplement the F-22 as an air-to-ground strike aircraft for the Air Force. For the Navy, the F-35CV has twice the range on as the F-18 utilizing internal fuel tanks. Even better, the wingspan is much larger on this version for increased stability at low speed carrier landings. The F-35 is meant to be stealthy, external fuel tanks increase its chances of being spotted on radar. The Marines get the STOVL (short take-off, vertical landing) replacing their beloved Harrier jumpjet.
The Pratt & Whitney F-135 engine is the most powerful military engine to date, delivering 50,000 lbs of thrust.. I just have to say that the F119/135 engine and the Raptor & JSF are the most bad-ass aircraft the DoD has seen. I fell in love with the two the day they were announced, and having the chance to work for them was a dream come true. The engineers at Lockheed, Rolls-Royce, P&W, and Hamilton Sunstrand are truly delivering a remarkable combination
Is a set of standards for limiting EMI and RF radiation. We have classified several rooms at work that meet these standards and work very well. Chances are though, unless you're a defense contractor with security clearance, you won't know how to outfit a room to meet the reqs.
I lost 2 mod points yesterday by not using them.:( Anyways, you're 100% right. Not to mention, XGL only works on like 3 of the latest graphics card from Nvidia/ATI.
Company I work for is sending two people to Blackhat/Defcon this year. This is in addition to other team members going to USENIX, SchmooCon, Blackhat Federal, etc.. throughout the year
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds similar to the company I interned at this past summer. We both compete and have a joint partnership in the same industry ;)
and you know this how....?
Several weeks ago, Ross Anderson and his colleagues set up a wiki containing all the material they've collected on the NHS IT project, and the problems it's facing. Check out his post here: http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2006/10/10/new- website-on-nhs-it-problems/
And the actual wiki here: http://nhs-it.info/

confuse bots, and confuse the hell out of people at the same time. I seriously have no idea what address that is supposed to be.

You seem to have caught the W32.TaskBar virus, specifically W32.TaskBar.Top variant.

Are you kidding? You can't benefit financially from NASA?
r y_law/3319656.html a merica
NASA is involved in so many classified projects in our (U.S.A.) aerospace industry, and there is a constant threat from nation-states and foreign governments wanting our most sensitive military technology. For example, technology used in rockets that propel various spacecraft can be used in rockets and missiles. Satellite technology, etc.. NASA has a lot at stake when somebody hacks into them, and their technology is worth $$$ x10^9. Here's a couple links just to get you started:

Forgot to add SANS to that list. They have some good training as well.

I know of some companies that do this. When the employees are done reading the books, they put it in their IT Library..
