at least over here (uk) warning similar to cigarettes would mean black on white text covering a large portion of the packaging. in such a way you can't fail to notice it.
warning burried in the EULA is a totally different thing.
That's odd -- last I checked, I can call SkypeIn users from my GPS Cell phone, the POTS pay phone up the street, and from my Vonage account. its a bit like cell providers offering free calls to phones on thier own cell network. sure you can call cross network but doing so costs money.
in other words networks both cell and VOIP (and possiblly landline depending on the local regulatory environment) have a monopoly on cheap/free access to users on thier network and people select thier providers based on that NOT based on anything that you could reasonablly call compertition.
some voip networks do have deals to allow free calls between them but they tend to be the smaller/less well known ones.
wikipedia does have ip blocking and it is possible to get the ip for registered although that access to that feature is somewhat restricted for obvious reasons.
btw rather than using filesystem specific imaging software a simple way to get the image size down is to create a file of zeros that fills all free space on the drive and delete it before taking the image.
netscape 7 was essentially a screwed about with version of mozilla with various advertising type crap added (not banner adds but things like popping up its own search sidebar whenever you used google)
i dunno about netscape 8 but i hear it uses the IE rendering engine by default.
It could be financially dangerous for such a company if a laptop that's supposed to give them 5 hours of life unexpectedly only gives 4 hours, especially while sending important emails or while doing a presentation.
thats like saying it could be financially disatourous if your SUV got 10mpg instead of 15 and as a result ran out of gas as you were driving to the presentation.
its true in a way but everyone knows the manufaturers estimates are unrealistic at best and avoid situations where they are running close to the line (doesn't you presentation room have mains?!).
with IE some sites pelt you with permission popups such that its virtually impossible to make them go away without clicking ok and/or use other windows to cover up everything ex i've NEVER had that happen to me when using firefox (firefoxes some content was restricted bar at the top is far more sane).
so your server has all its motherboard ram slots full to capacity and you add one of theese and configure it as swap. not as good as sticking another 4 gigs in the motherboard obviously but if the motherboards already maxed out then it could be a lot cheaper than replacing a server class motherboard and transplanting everything into a new case.
also theese have uses that a software ramdrive doesn't. primerally that they will survive an os crash or reboot! so i'd imagine they'd be quite usefull for things like databases (where if worst comes to worst you have a transaction log but you'd really rather not have to use much of it).
of course you can boot off a pci card. it just needs to have a boot rom which extends the bios like every scsi card, ata raid card, sata card and many network cards do.
and if you plan to run a NT based version of windows you need the correct drivers for that too again just the same as a scsi raid or sata card. windows provides you with a prompt to load theese during setup (which unfortunately only works with the driver on a floppy) or they can be slipstreamed in.
its a "pyramid scheme" if the reason for buying is in the hope that the stock price will go up even further without any regard for the true state of the company the stock is supposed to represent. see the dotcom boom and its associated bust for a perfect example of this.
its not a "pyramid scheme" if the reason for buying is an honest belief backed up by real facts that the predicted growth will happen. in this case its basically betting on the companies future.

Chess for Kids?

lego chess is quite good from the teaching chess point of view.
personally though i've never been a fan of the idea of actually trying to learn complex strategies for something like chess, its a just a game damnit;) (ofc this means my younger brother can beat me at it which is a pain)
i think the "if anyone found out" is the important bit. when your choice is as the gp put it "publish or perish" you have a choice between the risk of getting caught publishing false info and the risk (or in some cases possiblly certainty) of losing your job because you haven't published enough and so don't get more funding.
and falsifying data is like cheating at exams or coursework or printing counterfiet banknotes or any other offense that does not create countable victims. NOONE really knows the risk because NOONE knows how many people do it and get away with it, only how many do it and fail. you need to know both to assess the risk.
CSS was never about copying a DVD to another DVD. It is about control over not letting the DVD be easily transformed into any other form for playback in non-licensed (and royalty generating, btw) players
iirc normal easilly availible burners can't write css disks. i don't know if the burners used for authoring css disks can make bit for bit copies or not but even if they can they are specilist and presumablly expensive equipment that your casul copier will not have access to.
actually compliled modules often will work between versions they just aren't gauranteed to do so.
iirc there are two main reasons for not gauranteeing binary compatibility between kernel versions,
1: its a heck of a lot easier to for example fix an integer overflow if you can just switch to a bigger integer without worring about binary compatibility issues.
2: linus wants to actively discorage binary only drivers and make it absoloutely clear they are only tolerated. and this mostly seems to have worked (there are a couple of exceptions most notablly fast 3D graphics and wireless lan kit).
what is however needed is better standardisation and automation of the whole process. you should be able to download a driver and have a tool that finds the correct kernel headers builds the driver and installs it all without any difficult wuestions.
so could any other site you visit on the web. not that i'm convinced/. would be a good place to post such a troll, somewhere orientated to net newbies would be far more effective at getting vulnerable ips.
i watch on uk terrestrial so i'm probablly quite a bit behind you americans but i've noticed sg-1 getting far more political. still getting some good old fasioned bad guy fighting etc but not nearly as much as i'd like;)
series 1 of atlantis was fairly free of political shit because they were cut off from earth but it looks like that will be changing in series 2.
well it got enough acceptance for unicode to accept it and ms to ship at least one font that includes it with office and one font that includes it with windows.

reflection is pretty simple really, and the docs aren't that bad. just start playing arround with it until you feel comfortable.

;)
runs of zeros compress incrediblly well

i was under the impression that the object needed for ajax to work (xmlhttprequest) was not part of the standard DOM.
with IE some sites pelt you with permission popups such that its virtually impossible to make them go away without clicking ok and/or use other windows to cover up everything ex i've NEVER had that happen to me when using firefox (firefoxes some content was restricted bar at the top is far more sane).
and on ethernet isn't stealing another machines ip pretty easy?

only if you actually pull the plug. as long as the standby power feed to the board is on it should be fine.
10 hours is plenty enough to reset the tripped breaker or start up a generator when the power failure alarm goes off.
of course you can boot off a pci card. it just needs to have a boot rom which extends the bios like every scsi card, ata raid card, sata card and many network cards do.
and if you plan to run a NT based version of windows you need the correct drivers for that too again just the same as a scsi raid or sata card. windows provides you with a prompt to load theese during setup (which unfortunately only works with the driver on a floppy) or they can be slipstreamed in.
most likely so people can hook it up to thier raid controller.
but i agree it does seem a little stupid
it depends on the reason for growth investment.
its a "pyramid scheme" if the reason for buying is in the hope that the stock price will go up even further without any regard for the true state of the company the stock is supposed to represent. see the dotcom boom and its associated bust for a perfect example of this.
its not a "pyramid scheme" if the reason for buying is an honest belief backed up by real facts that the predicted growth will happen. in this case its basically betting on the companies future.

ofc once x86 linux runs vmware probablly runs which means windows runs ;)
at least thats how i remember it being from the xbox
do people like that also fit a zif socket to the motherboard to reduce the stress on the chip pins?
so could any other site you visit on the web. not that i'm convinced /. would be a good place to post such a troll, somewhere orientated to net newbies would be far more effective at getting vulnerable ips.
nor should I need to recompile the kernel everytime I switch brands of some random computer device
you don't, its perfectly possible to build modules against a kernel tree without rebuilding it.
