My wife has trouble keeping the disc and the box together, let alone a dongle as well. Now I'll have one extra thing to find every time I want to watch a movie.
This was done in Sydney 15 years ago, when they still drew their water supply via an open canal. The Water Board had identified a risk fronm the canal that wound its way through teh suburbs and was very easy to get access to, so they put in a fish tank connected to the canal to pick up anything toxic that might have found its way into the water. In this cas the fish were Macquarie perch (I think).
There was a video camera trained on the tank and the operators in the control room could cut off the canal if they noticed the fish were dead.
There was a guy whose job it was to feed the fish and run the dechlorination system that removed the chlorine from the water going into the tank, since that's also toxic to fish.
One weekend , he forgot to top up the sodium thiosulphate solution that was used for this purpose, and all the fish died from chlorine poisoning some time on Sunday night when it ran out.
That was bad enough, but it was Monday morning before the operators noticed.
They don't use that system anymore. The canal has been filled in and there is a pipeline and a fully filtered treatment plant.
Do they subsidise the replacement lithium ion battery as well? There are going to be a lot of Priuses going cheap in a few years because of the cost of replacing the battery.
AFIAK, as long as we have state lottos and Indian casinos, I don't want to hear anything from the state about why online gambling should be illegal.
Online gambling is illegal because you have state lottos and Indian casinos. - Can't have people cutting into all tha tax revenue.
Online gambling is illegal in Australia too for much the same reasons. You can't tax an online gambling site that is in another country, and it cuts into the revenue from the gambling you can tax.
The moral arguments are only made to get people to support the idea.
My sister had two mountain bikes stolen from their back yard from under the nose of their siberian husky. They had assumed that no-one would attempt to pinch anything with large (and rather wolf-like) dog there. they were wrong. Apparently the thief knew about huskies.
Reminds me of a house I rented once. It had those 19th Century Ward locks on all the doors. Easy to get in. When we moved in, we made the Landlord provide double cylinder deadlocks for all the external doors (In NSW, the Landlord is obliged to provide a "reasonable" level of security)
The thieves that took all my stuff simply braced themselves against the verandah railing and kicked the centre out of the multi-panel door.
Interior locks are about privacy, not security. Their designed to stop your Mother-in Law (for example)walking in on you while you're in the bathroom. They are deliberately designed to be easily defeatable so that someone who has collapsed inside for whatever reason can be rescued. In NSW it is mandatory to have doors that lift off their hinges if the bathroom is so small that someone may be collapsed up against it, preventing it from opening.
This information is to help decide where to put new churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, whatever. To do that you have to know where the people who need them are.
In Australia at least, they already do this. TPR systems have contracts with several law enforcement agencies and some of ther devices are PC/Linux based.
Quake 2 had an OpenGL mode that used a 3D accelerated card. It was a bit buggy, but it looked heaps better than software rendering. Also for the original Quake there was GLQuake, if you could get it to run. The nice thing is, both of them work well on Linux.
You're forgetting that the more of your people become educated, and taught to think for themselves, the more likely they are to question your judgement and your leadership.
This risk is something I'm sure is not lost on the Chinese authorities.
There is some tension between needing people with education to run stuff and making sure that that education doesn't create a thinking, questioning population.
By making education hard to get and making sure that only "suitable" people receive it, you preserve your grip on authority.
And that's a big motivator for the Chinese Authorities, and all those Maoist groups out there also.
No, but when floppies were more common, it was also common to have PCs set up to boot from the floppy first and only boot from the hard disk if the floppy isn't there.
There was a whole genre of viruses including the Pakistani Brain virus, that take advantage of took advantage of this, plus the tendency of people to forget to take their floppy out of the PC when turning it on. They would silently run the code hidden in the boot sector, which would infect the boot sector of the HDD and ensure that every floppy inserted from then on got the virus. At some predetermined time, the virus would release its payload.
The most vulnerable machines were the ones with multiple random users (especially schools and universities), and in the days before the internet, people were far more inclined to store their files on a floppy and take it with them.

...and a rousing cheer for the guy who can't tell an F14 from a C123.

Doesn't the Governator have several Hummers?

actually, it's usually medium density polyethylene.

A lot of the time, the airport security people make you turn on the laptop in front of them to make sure it runs.
Would suck if you had a dodgy battery.
So go to Microsoft or Borland and see if they'll let you use theirs instead. Good luck!

without your radiation suit ..or invulnerability. That works too.
Nah,
for Debian that's business as usual. Their stable branch has long been behind everyone else. I'm amazed they're announcing Etch so soon after Sarge.
If they put the actual smell in the ad, no-one would buy them.
They did say they used non-toxic chemicals for this...
