I did it. It works, provided you don't give up during step 2.
Microsoft (or whoever) could use the Pirate Bay to distribute their stuff. The Pirate Bay doesn't charge anything, and they do not impose any restrictions on how much people are allowed to download.
If it's less than one year old and the manufacturer refuses to fix critical problems with it, you should be able to hand your Windows license back and get a re-fund.
The encryption is a one-way street. One (simple, understandable and entirely useless for security) example of such an "encryption" function would be to simply count the letters typed.
If somebody's password is "foo", it would be stored as "3". Given "3", it's impossible to tell that the password was "foo".
When I want to log in, I type "foo", the login program converts what I typed into "3", and compares that value to what it has stored. Also "3". Access granted.
If I had typed "fluff", that would have been converted to "5", and access would have been denied.
Obviously, with this scheme, I could just as well have typed "pig", and that would have granted me access as well. But Unix doesn't simply count letters, and collisions like this are unlikely. The function used is also such that coming up with something yielding a given hash (the "3" in the above example) is really hard.
I want a router running OneSwarm. Or rather, I wish everybody else had one:-). It wouldn't even have to download anything to keep me happy, just as long as it forwards connections.
Biggest problem with OneSwarm currently seems to be keeping the network intact when people have systems that aren't on line all the time.
Also, don't most people want to do a clean install of a major OS version?
I've been running Ubuntu since Dapper and never made a clean install since the first one. A couple of updates later I'm now on Intrepid. Once during that time I replaced my hardware, and just copied the contents of my old hard disk to the new one (cp -a is your friend).
Why would anybody want to wipe their hard disks? Sounds like all pain and no gain to me.
Microsoft's has left C++ to languish, has all but abandoned C, and as such has no real performance tool in their own arsenal.
If they fixed.NET's performance, they would have.NET as a performance tool.
And they would be able to write performant code, while still having the benefits of things like garbage collection, bounds checking and proper stack traces when an application is terminated by an exception.
If a standard base could be setup that still allows for distros to be unique, but also allows for them to work together a lot better, then we will see an increase in applications made for linux, both open and closed source.
To quote Dogbert, I think you misunderstood your question. If you're exercising to get in shape, you're already setting yourself up for a failure.
You must find something that you enjoy doing, and then do it because it's fun!
I never exercise. But most weeks I play badminton once, floorball once and volleyball once. During vacations I often go downhill skiing or windsurfing. And somehow I miraculously manage to stay in shape!
For a more concrete recommendation; take a beginners class in Lindy Hop. It's fun, it's a good workout and you get to meet girls. And there's always a shortage of guys.
1. Governments demand standardized file formats.
2. MS standardizes OOXML and implements it badly.
3. OOo implements OOXML according to the standard.
4. Governments can only use OOo, since OOo is the only software implementing the standard.
Then MS would be back to the same problem of having to compete on equal terms. The cost for OOo would be that they had to implement yet another document format (but that's being done anyway).
I haven't heard anything about any specs for 3d operations being released from AMD. I know they were talking about it, but what happened then? Did they release anything while I wasn't looking?
Rick Cotton, the general counsel of NBC Universal, says that [...] we should be [sic] 'identify workable, flexible and effective approaches that reduce piracy without being intrusive and that fully respect other interests such as privacy and fair use.
A simple way of doing that is to legalize file sharing for non-commercial purposes.
It's obviously workable (just change the law), I can't see how it would be considered "unflexible", it's effective, it reduces piracy (it would be hard to label lawful file sharing "piracy"), it's unintrusive (most people won't notice the change) and it fully respects other interests such as privacy and fair use.
You have to keep in mind that enormous numbers of songs have been sold, at low quality and with DRM, from itunes, at a buck a song.
You have to keep in mind that enormous numbers of songs have been downloaded, at low quality, illegally, for free. This indicates that the songs being sold are over-priced.
Calling piracy "fake demand" and discussing what's "fair" or not doesn't help; piracy is here for real, and it's massive, so that's what the music industry has to compete with. To be able to make money off song sales, the music industry have to provide a product that is better than the stuff people are already downloading for free. Otherwise the intended customers won't be that interested in paying for it.

Don't write a program called "test" and then try to run it by typing "test" at the console.
Doing this can cost you about half a day of printf() debugging because the program will work when you try running through GDB.
At least I did this only once :-).
There's a program that automates what you describe, and it's called "RSnapshot":

So, back on topic, does anybody know how horrid Intel video is in this final release? I need to decide if I'm going to upgrade or not
Download and burn a live CD. That way you can test the drivers yourself without touching your hard drive.
Some people seem to like forced reboots (see other replies to the parent comment), but I'm not one of them.
Also, don't most people want to do a clean install of a major OS version?

Change [your keys] periodically.
That could be dangerous advise. What kind of attack scenario are you protecting yourself against by changing keys periodically?
Android devices are only allowed to have low-resolution QVGA (240x320) resolution displays
Do you have a source for this? Searching the Android API reveals a class for keeping track of display resolution, which kind of speaks against what you're saying.
If a standard base could be setup that still allows for distros to be unique, but also allows for them to work together a lot better, then we will see an increase in applications made for linux, both open and closed source.
Here you go.
Or if you just want to run it you could type "sudo apt-get install virtualbox" to get it installed.
