    Those are really hard to get, especially since they've been out of stock for at least a few years now. eBay shows one for $350, that's still a lot of money.

    Not necessarily-France joined the war largely as a result of the American victory at Saratoga. I also don't know where you're getting your information about the German from either-the Hessians fought with the British, although some later defected.

    You must be new here

    I'd prefer Ubuntu Java: Coffee Pot Edition with RFC 2324 goodness. Though no NetBeans, please.

    New Guinness World Record: Mozilla proves that the world is flat; heading west from the Americas doesn't get you to Asia after all!

    I, for one, welcome our EULA-encrusted malware BSA overlords!

    Well, they apparently considered it so serious that the librarian (the librarian was pretty much the school IT director) had to call up the district office and have them suggest a punishment. This was the same school where they left a word document accessible to all students on a shared network drive that detailed the removal of a email worm that infected the district. Apparently they didn't realize that the word document had user names and passwords for the school-wide administrator account and the school-wide account designed to manage Norton AntiVirus either.

    That's standard policy for most schools. I think I got banned from computer usage for an entire year because I was deleting a HKLM/Software key belonging to MyWebSearch or some other piece of adware/spyware.

    The difference is that you don't have authority over mass transportation. As an IT person, you have authority and responsibility for the computer network. As a driver, you're at most a bystander, not an authority figure.

  11. Re:Why can't they just remove their DRM? on Virgin Digital To Close Up Shop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most likely because they have some sort of a contract with the big labels that forces them to include DRM.

  12. The issue comes up again... on Mandatory Keyloggers in Mumbai's Cyber Cafes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will it work on Linux?

  13. ClamAV on Will Security Firms Detect Police Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Luckily there's ClamAV and open source software.
