Indonesia and Malaysia is currently in a...uh.. copyright war. For a few months, there are some cultural stuff (like dance, show, food) that each claims to origin from themselves. I believe it was started by a Malaysia tourism advertisement that claims certain dance to origin from Malaysia.
If nicotine is quite useful yet may cause higher incident of lung cancer, isn't it better to just inject nicotine into bloodstream? Or is there something I'm missing here?
If all car makers agree to fit all cars with cushion on the perimeter of the car x metre from the ground, I bet insurance cost won't be as high as it is right now.
well, this is probably not what the questioner intended to do but someone might want to lock down a PC since it's only intended to be a Point Of Sales terminal.
You just hit the essence of a good idea to enforce of Minimum Advertised Price (MAP), that is to sell to dealers at a price very close to MAP while making the dealers' Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) unpredictable, especially before a period of time completed. The problems are in implementation.
I know many companies willing to pay a very generous amount if you can come out with an MAP enforcement implementation in some products.:-)
Con rely on various aspects to be sucessful. One important aspect is time constraint.
Most con will not let you take the time to think carefully. Con that rely on greed, will make it such that the free lunch will disappear if you don't bite it soon. Con that rely on trusting people, will make it such that the other people can't be helped if you don't act soon. Con that rely on simpathy, will make you overwhelmed with guilty feeling if you don't act soon.
Whenever someone press you to decide on something ASAP while overwhelming you with information and showing you the rapidity of changes/development, step back and be cautious.

I remember back in 1980-ish, a few years after I got my first computer, I had been thinking about the problem described in "Reflections on Trusting Trust".
I thought that I should store the earliest hardware and DOS disk I can get to a safety box, before people begin to seriously consider planting an equivalent of rootkit in hardware. I wanted to be a person who own THE clean system I can rely on to assess future the cleanliness of new hardware and software.
Old age makes me a lot less paranoid. I don't if that change is a good idea..
Anyway, have you considered that maybe they have been putting backdoors waaaay back before.
In Indonesia it's common to write "check", the one which is only payable to an individual or legal entity bank account, where the check writer can set the time when the transfer is executed. The fund must enter a bank account before it can be retrieved.
Anyway, it's common for companies to pay other companies using "checks" if the receiving company does not really trust the payer yet, because the paying company can be blacklisted for up to 1 year by all banks in Indonesia if the check bounce 3 times for any amount, or bounce once for an amount of more than roughly US$90,000.

things can work out if only the worst behavior gets screamed at.
this way, if you're relatively well behaved, you will never get screamed at.

I always make it a habit to power down my server after work, since it's not allowed to be used outside office hour.
I wonder if not many people understand the subtle meaning of parent post. Parent post is way funnier than grandparent post.
