Looking at the picture, I think it's the same size as a CD, it's just the hand holding the super CD is closer. Either that or his right hand is 2.5 times as big as his left...
You mean one of these [techarts.com]or any other removable drive rack [google.com] you care to buy?
99.9% of all other PCs don't have a removable rack that is compatible with yours. Also, do you trust the person you would share the drive with not to infect your files with a virus? Or would you lend them a hard drive, and not worry too much about getting it back? CD-Rs are disposable, it costs me more in time to write to them than money to buy them. Hard drives are not disposable.
P.S. rather than a rack, why not just get a firewire drive? Your compatibility odds go up significantly.
It has everything to do with one of the shortcomings of biometrics
The same thing could happen if your only item of value was a bankcard with a pin, and the thief didn't trust you to tell them the right number. Basically, what you want is to be carrying enough transferrable valuables that the thief doesn't want to go to the effort of kidnap/blackmail.

there was an island between Sumatra and Bali...
That sounds like the start of a limerick.
There was an island between Sumatra and Bali, Whose natives were exceedingly jolly, 'Cuz those Polynesian lasses, Had callipygous asses, And just loved to suck on a lolly.
Even if the biometrics people manage to find foolproof ways to detect freshly amputated tissues (fat chance) there's still plenty of time-honored blackmail and kidnapping ruses - instead of "give me your wallet or I'll kill you" maybe it'll be "go get me a six-pack and a cheeseburger - your kid will wait here with me until you come back".
...which has absolutely nothing to do with biometrics.
So we're partway there and with recent developments in chemical synthesis without use of heavy engineering plants we have good hope of getting a decent rocket fuel!
Yeah, it shouldn't be too difficult. After all, it's not rocket sci -- err, never mind.
If I were to claim that I was expressing my ideas and concepts of justice by setting fire to the offices of the evil, corrupt county representative who sold out my community, I'd be laughed all the way to cell block 2.
But it's the non-speech, non-communicative aspect of your actions that you're being prosecuted for. You're getting neither more or less heavily penalized for having done if for that reason than if you did it for a lark.
Should the mute have no freedom of sign-language?

(shakes head) Funny... I actually found the intro paragraph *humorous*.
It's Bell's Second Law of the Internet (used to be Usenet, when I came up with it in the late 80's): No matter how facetious or satirical you are, someone will take you seriously.
It's interesting that Microsoft's auditing process is acting as a catalyst to mainstream linux awareness and possible adoption at the public school level.
Isn't someone going to quote Princess Leia? ("The more you tighten your grip..." )
Maybe she was worried about the "Curse of Slashdot." DNA answers some questions, and he's dead within a year. It makes the Sports Illustrated cover jinx seem trivial...
Let us not forget that Elcomsoft is also the purveyor of Advanced Email Extractor [mailutilities.com], an email-harvesting program.
I think I speak for most present when I say that I care about the issue, not the company. (Although I do sympathize with Skylarov for his unjust imprisonment.)
As the V-chip becomes more prevalent, the censors will have no excuse.
The problem is, until it's universal, they do have an excuse. Now, if digital TV tuners have to have one, maybe digital could be uncensored. But if that's not the case, we're probably still SOL.
...and drink a beer (or three) like an honest, God-fearing American. It's so much healthier^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^safer^h^h^h^h^hum, more American. You know, like a Heineken.
The cost of putting a spot on during the Superbowl means they do new commercials for that event, with few expenses spared. Commercials tend to get more annoying with more repetition, and local places can't afford the production values/creative staff for their ads. So there's really a limit to what can be done.
Yes, but don't mix up "a set of rules we made up for us to abide by" with ethics, either... SLAPP suits, ridiculous class action suits, baseless DMCA threats, etc. aren't exactly ethical.

I wonder if Sen. Hollings will have a heart attack when he hears about this?
Actually, he'll probably cheer. After all, think how much Disney is going to have to contribute to his campaign now...

Is there anybody cool named Hillary? So Far, all the ones I've seen in the public are royal bitches.
Well, there's Sir Edmund Hillary, who along with Tensung Norgay was the first to climb Mt. Everest...
(With the Sir, I suppose that means he has a degree of royal, but also not a bitch.)

And I've already seen one network (don't recall if it's Fox or CBS) start to use them during programming.
Doesn't TNN do this with their ST:TNG syndication?

The only advantage of WINE that I can see is the performance.
Most alternatives requires a Windows license and a copy of the OS, costing both money (and funding the "Evil Empire") and disk space.

Socialization for me, and others like me, isn't much more than standing in the corner and watching others socialize.
What? In the public schools, at least, you can get beaten up by people of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
Heck, the amount of money some schools spend on computers you could probably put in a swimming pool.
...which would make the money rather wet.
Just Say No to talking point pothead rhetoric.

Install Linux on all the workstations, make them work a little harder to install their P2Ps and they might learn something along the way.
...not to mention they'll be immune to the viruses they're likely to encounter.
Hell, the super bowl commercials are awesome!

Try not to mix up morals and ethics.
Yes, but don't mix up "a set of rules we made up for us to abide by" with ethics, either... SLAPP suits, ridiculous class action suits, baseless DMCA threats, etc. aren't exactly ethical.
Fine, fine, fine...
This type of thing works for doctors, lawyers etc
Are you really claiming that lawyers act ethically?
Well of course it's the foot. When you want to use your feet, you shut down and walk away.
