I have a game on my phone which uses the camera for tilt sensitivity. Of cause this means to play it in tilt mode you need to be in a reasonably lit space with reasonably contrasting stuff the other side of the camera... it could use a bit of tweaking but it's a good start.
The main problem I've found with using the buttons is their latency can be too high for games where reaction speed is an issue, and the way they're wired can often mean while holding down one key, certain other keys presses will no longer be detectable.
So who's breaking the law? The person with the computer, the ISP who the computer's connect to, the owner of the pipe bringing the "obscenity" across the state border, the ISP who's providing the bandwidth to the originating server, or the person who's providing the images (even if they're legal in the state where this person lives/hosts from)?
"If I had my way I'd never even look at an MS logo for the rest of my life"
If I had my way, they'd just get good and honourable... having a decent corporation with the power of microsoft could do the software world, and the world in general, a lot of good... but then I'm an idealist:-p
They'll be behind firewalls, running with restricted user profiles etc anyway. It's the dumb home user, directly connected to the net, running anything that hits their inbox that mostly needs extra protection.
I've never seen it be a problem at all. Usernames resolve to a UserID, which is what the underlying system calls use. Somewhat like having multiple domain names pointing to a single IP address.
We're not talking here about having different root accounts, we're talking about having multiple logins for the root account. A reverse lookup on the UID 0 will return 'root', no matter which user/pass you logged in as.
This way, different people can have a different user/pass combo to access the root account. It's no more complicated than that.
Actually I do, and as I always have done, my brain's thought processes are fully centered around that fact, and doesn't make stupid mistakes. People do argue with me about it, but the fact is, I'm good enough to not need that safety net. If someone's not, then by all means, keep the safety net there. I don't have time for it.
first of all you're nohupping the 'cd/' command, not the intended rm -rf... so really you'd want nohup rm -rf/*
secondly (hehe, sorry), the first Ctrl+D (at least in the setup I have) warns of background jobs, although a second Ctrl+D will log out. Alternatively you can openvt the command.

"I'm curious as to how much heat these suckers will generate"
Well... it depends what you want to do with it. If you wanted to try and make a high speed general processor then it could kick out some heat, but that's probably not it's intended purpose (at least at this point in time). Most IC's don't need to worry about heat... digital watches don't have heatsinks.

great, that's all they need, another way to get money out of us!

nah, the grinding-up of the OS happens once it gets out of MS.
yeah, then we'd get those security updates sooner too!!!

(yes, generalising)
speaks for itselfs, can say "xx thousand presale copies already sold, it MUST be good!!! You'll definitely be wanting a copy too huh! Get in line!"
Sure, in the same way as a virus scanner telepathically knows that you want it to block what it thinks are viruses.

"opticians around the globe are surprised to find that hindsight is always 20/20"
...if only they'd figured that out to begin with
you can create multiple logins that resolve to UID 0; there doesn't have to be just one 'root' account, passwords don't have to be shared.
