If the big-brother syndrome gets to the point where someday a company won't hire me because The Great Database says I watched too much Aqua Teen and not enough CSPAN... I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Well it's simple, get TiVo to record all the stuff that will get you a good job, and have a 'stealth MythTV box' in the basement for the stuff you really want to watch.
$ for i in *JPG ; do mv $i ${i/JPG/jpg} ; done This isn't the first time I've seen this, but it will result in a file MYJPG.JPG being called MYjpg.JPG, ${i//JPG/jpg} would be better as at least the it would end up with the.jpg at the end, but ${i%.JPG}.jpg would be best.
Yeah, I've installed these things, we used one at an outpatient hospital to monitor the blood fridges, they are pretty impressive bits of kit if you get someone who knows what they are doing installing it.
I don't think it's a case of 'fine print', just reading, you know, the bit of the installation where it asks you what to use as the shared folder, and warns you the contents will be available to other users. She may as well try and sue MS for having too many pointless dialog boxes, and therefore conditioning her to blindly click 'yes' on any dialog box without reading it's contents.
Someone mod parent incitefull. If you understand it, not only does it answer the original question, but draws the line in the sand as to where the term 'lossy' has any meaning in the real world.
If you don't understand it, recode an HDTV broadcast and a normal TV broadcast to watch on your ipod, then try and work out why they look the same.
As someone who installs CCTV (goobye karma) I've held my tongue on quite a few occasions here, but you can 'stop' all this.
The data protection laws introduced about two years ago give you a few few tools. Firstly, any CCTV recording OR monitoring system in public places must be announced (this includes places that you are invited into automatically, like shops etc), the announcing sign must state 3 things, that there is a monitoring/recording system in use, for what purpose it is there (and the purpose of monitoring/recording doesn't cut it), who is in charge of administering the system and how to contact them.
Now the important thing here is the 'contact them', under UK data protection laws you have the right to claim your digital image, send the 'administrators' (the only ones who have legal access to the system to review/archive recordings) a letter explaing where you were, a cheque for £10 (the reasonable fee they are allowed to charge), what day you were there (don't be to precise), proof of address (utility bill etc) and a 'valid for passport' style photo. It is then their job to search through the footage looking for you, extract the right footage, and here's the kicker, remove the faces of anyone else on that footage before they send it to you or else they are in breach of the data protection act (which I can assure you most CCTV administrators do not have the equipment/skills to do). The best way to use these rules are to hang about outside busy tube stations in rush hour, permanently on camera, and don't stop moving, that would make masking other faces too easy. The police use camcorders at a lot of large public demonstrations, this is also a good time to use these laws, especially if you were not there. Do not underestimate the power of the data protection act, people have used it to force documents out of MI5, and one guy got of a charge of armed robbery, as most of the case rested on CCTV evidence that was ruled inadmissible because the shop keeper had no signage up.
Dunno, but I do have prior art, and unlike most of Intels patents it's not just a loose description, but real software!
I have a cd that came with a serial modem containing software that fits the description of the patent, and the copyright notice is 1999. When I took a look into the manual it was the Feb 1999 edition, and the 'last modified' date of installer on the disk is 3.3.1998.
So, if your writing (alpha) drivers for a new piece of hardware, how do you get them into the kernel to test them?
Do you have to get MS to approve your H/W as pretty enough to make it in to Vista first?
Not when you consider that the current Prime Minister is just the puppet of an animatronic monkey in a man-suit, look hard enough and you can see the strings.
90% of my port 22 brute force attempts are from Chinese IPs too, I thought they might be just trying to tunnel through to read the BBC news website, but that iptables TARPIT patch is too cool to not use.
I've never met anyone on the M25 that I would say has the capacity to 'drive', even when the road allows for it. So using this argument, I would say no one has ever really driven on the M25, just a close approximation.
Being in the security industry I learned of this device some time ago (early this year), and I find it fucking abhorrent. Don't get me wrong, the systems that can confuse and disorient burglars etc using similar technologies I have no problems using, but to purposefully induce discomfort in anyone under the age of ~25, in a public place, for no explicit reason? Apart from that, I am privy to the number of complete fukwits who work in the industry, and probably don't fit a timeclock, leaving these things on all the time.
I find it, at the least, morally reprehensible and am supprised it does not contravene some kind of human rights law.
Considering the thermal hysteresis of power regulating ICs, I'd like these things as far away from any expensive components as possible i.e. not on a motherboard.
I appreciate that if each 'component' did it's own regulating that the effects are going to be less, but I've lost more equipment due to faulty inbuilt PSUs than idiots wiring in the external PSU the wrong way round.
I also don't want the quality of the PSU circuitry tied to the quality of my chosen components, I like my decent quality PSUs, I like cheap memory, GFX cards and NICs and don't want to have to spend more so they don't blow up.
For the rack maybe, but for my desktop I want as much of the regulation done by external components as possible.
Works with cxoffice, though apart from being able to say 'it works' I don't really see the point. It does nothing I can't setup some other browsers to do. Maybe Windows users feel differently.
That classification doesn't deal with 'deeds'. If you are in the US I doubt the IRA ever posed a threat to you, does this mean they arn't/wern't a terrorist organisation.
Your argument is flawed, the KKK is/was a terroist organisation, as they struck terror into the hearts and minds of those they sought to victimise.
Use public key encryption, store the private key on a usb memory stick, (tin foil hats on standy) store the key in a microwave with the timer set to 30 seconds.
Start the microwave and 15 seconds later you won't be able to comply and therefore can't refuse.
The microwave is an invaluable tool, it can be used to stop your RFID passport detonating IEDs for example, and the little window still allows officials to view your photograph.

You should get a Zune, it's an iPod killer...oh, erm...
Your are joking, right?
O'rly?
Can't the average joe on the street send hints of prior art to the patent office?

That's what I do, works better if you add the aliases instead of using catch all though, then you don't get the 'Returned Mail' spam too.

Surely, it's better to have the devs swearing, than those trying to use it, no?
I'd run farther than that, "embrace, extend, and extinguish" ring any bells?
Nn no, he is welcome, now we can lose all those posts that start with 'IANAL but'.

got the acpi drivers right, so they can turn the nic off.
