I'm sure I must be misunderstanding you. If the safety is engineered such that a 3-year-old child can discharge the weapon in any case, then it's not a safety.
A safety on fire arms are meant to keep the gun from discharging when dropped, de-cocking or while being unloaded. They are not meant to keep kids from discharging fire arms, that is what gun locks and safes are for.
Someone who wanted to pull a couple of hundred processors out of the supply chain. By making fake boxes and shipping them they might be able to hide at what point they were stolen.
Who ever did this probably did not expected their decoys to make it as far as they did. It more likely that the fakes were meant to cover up the theft just long enough to get away with the goods. At best they probably thought the switch would go unnoticed for a couple of days. They are probably laughing their asses off about decoys to make it all the way to the very end of the retail chain, i.e. being shipped to customers.
If you worry about telling a joke will offend someone, then you will never tell a joke because someone will always be offended. At best you can only aim to have your jokes make more people laugh than cringe.
I don't know why you think that but it's not true. At work and on personal phones I have swapped sim cards between AT&T phones on a regular basis . They like to have the IMEI number so they know what kind of phone you have and can track it if stolen but that's about it.
Also you can't clone newer SIM cards. They fixed the flaw that allowed you to do it in the past.
I second that. I know in my area Verizon's roll out of FIOS was delayed by two or three years because they wanted Washington state to subsidize something like 70% of the infrastructure upgrade cost.
I believe the self-destruct is triggered by unauthorized attempts to access. While your way is cheaper I suspect that rubber banding your usb drive to a hammer with a note that says "In case of theft please smash drive" is somewhat less effective due the lack of ethics most thieves posses.
My brother is going to be a fire fighter in the Seattle area. I have a feeling car crashes are going to be a lot tougher to deal with in 5 to 10 years.
In other news it was discovered that vampires are able to raise their body temperature high enough to fool heat cameras meant to detect the undead by drinking a gallon of hot coffee right before they pass the cameras.
In the ongoing spirit of computer/car comparisons, I suggest we install an airbag on computers to deploy when inept users approach in the hope of repelling them.
Actually, maybe I'll just put one of these on the entrance to my cubicle to keep the salesmen away.
I installed electrodes that deliver a mild shock when they do something bad and a little treat dispenser for when they do something right.
I'm licensed for the HAM General class. The answer is yes, you can use a HAM radio with out a license as long as you don't transmit. In case of an emergency you don't even have to be licensed transmit to obtain help.
Senators were heard saying quote:"These iPhones have become quite useful to the military. I guess it was a good thing we bought a couple to try out even thought they can't really 'jailbreak' you if you get caught taking bribes.
Slashdot Mirror
Hillary has asked Al to go to China to recover Google and the internet he created from the hands of the evil dictatorship of the Chinese people.
I thought they were sending him over to turn off the internet and put China in internet time out until they can play nice and stop hacking everyone.
"We are at war with Google. We have always been at war with Google."
Double plus good comment.
Please detail all the circumstances when you have needed to defend yourself from your government.
We're waiting.
You are aware of how the USA came into existence, right?

Yeah, I'm hoping I can adapt this patch to my wife's integers too.
You married a Fembot too?

Looks like one of the Mission Impossible guys decided to go work for an ad agency. :-P

They probably modeled it after the jock that beat them up in high school.
I went to school with that guy, you insensitive clod!
Why do we report bizarre claims to Slashdot without requiring the scientific method to be applied.
If I claim to be psychic and to be able to use ESP to read emails out of thin air, does qualify for the front page of Slashdot?
If you have to ask... you must be new round here.. :-)
I knew you'd say that!

No retina scan authentication? LAME

Here I was thinking the sun was finally was done with puberty or discovered Clearasil... I was way off.

can't you just turn the computer upside down and shake it till the button is visible?
Isn't that the reboot command?

Operant conditioning FTW.
I like that the mouse's dimensions are "100 Pounds".
I work for a medium sized accounting firm 1,000+ people. We are upgrading to IE 8 in a couple of months.

Geez, man, your first version was fine. If it ain't broke...
Good point. *heads off to find job as a game programmer* :-P
Now that I think about it "A solution in search of a problem" is probably a better saying.
