Of course, at least on cell phones. For example, my cell phone contract gives me 500 minutes of airtime (during the day.) Any phone call, whether I originate or receive, deducts minutes from my balance. This is the airtime charge he's talking about.
What's this bizzare system you're talking about? When I call someone from my cell phone, they don't get charged for it. The only explanation for your theory that I can think of is the idea that if you call a cell phone, the cell phone owner (in this case the call recipient) gets charged, but the rate is the same for calls from next door and calls from the other side of the world.
The only way to remove a root kit is to format the drive and reinstall the OS. Have fun!
Seriously though, at least two of those are listed in the article as being fine. Looking over the list, I don't see anything suspicious, and I have many of the same things listed for my system. Although if I'm reading that third line right, you have 9 GBs of bad clusters. You might want to scandisk.
You seem to be misunderstanding the issue here. Once SP2 was released, the Automatic Update feature in XP started installing it. Some companies weren't ready, so Microsoft created a registry key that could be used to prevent SP2 from loading. Microsoft is now going to disable that registry key from working starting on the date in the article.
I agree with you on a. But as for b, you do realize that the exact code he's talking about was already prevented blocked from loading SP1, right? In fact, why did he ask that question to begin with?
Seriously though, this bypasses an installation prevention method that Microsoft released for businesses to use. It was either a GPO or registry setting. Either way, Aunt Susie already got SP2 last fall, when it first hit Windows Update. That's why I had to install some software updates for her back then.
There's a GNU program for Windows (command line only) called md5sum.exe. I believe I got it from Debian's website, but it might have been from Knoppix's.
The above post is using Slashdot to advertise his own cause. Look at the on-topic portion of his post - worthless and doesn't add to the conversation at all. Now look at his "signature." It's not a real signature, he typed it (or copy and paste) into this specific message. It took him more time to add the "signature" than it took to type the post.
You're looking at the category, not the section. There is a difference. I don't know why there's a difference, but there is.
Sections: Some (not all) stories are placed in a special section. You can tell the section by the story title on the main page. This one says "Apple: MythTV 0.17 Released" Also, the URL is apple.slashdot.org/....
Category: All (I think) stories are placed in at least one category, usually more. This is what you're looking at. It probably helps when searching old stories.
I think what he's wanting to do is reply to a bunch of e-mail when he's not connected to his mail server, and then click one button to send them all at once when he gets to a connection.
So you're saying I can put my key in the ignition of an RFID car, hold the correct key (with the RFID chip) right next to it, and turn on the car? I find that hard to believe. In fact, I might have to try it.
Remember though, Google isn't the only player. Try searches on Yahoo, and the background color on the sponsored links is a very light blue. On a bad LCD that color difference could easily be hard to notice. Even worse in Altavista, as someone pointed out earlier.

How else would you expect it work?

Dammit!! I can't believe I did that. I even thought about the spelling on that. Maybe I should start using a spell checker.
HA! Yeah, I knew I was falling for a troll. I didn't care. Although I did forget the "Post Anonymously" checkbox.

Whether he's beginning a sentance or not, he should have capitalized it.
Who said it did?
No they didn't.
And posting about it online is the first step towards hiding it...
Seriously though, from what I understand not all states do this, so research it a little. You might not be effected.
If state A puts out an arrest warrant, state B can arrest her.

How do you use the Defense Contract Management Agency to shut down an RSS feed? Or did you mean the DMCA?
I'm guessing that DHS is the primary POC for foreign (to the US) law enforcement. DHS probably just forwarded the call to the FBI.

I think another valid description of the mixed crowd is those of us who use *nix exclusively at home, but still have to support Windows at work.
They probably should have used that money on grammar classes. "Alot" is not a word, it's "a lot."
No, it counts. Face it, you're one of us now!

What other OSs have only had one remote hole in the default install, in 8 years? I can't think of any, but if there is one I'd like to know.
