Interesting. Looks like they are covering their asses with their UV/IR cameras.

Programming in assembly? Damn, you are a geek. I teach Argentine tango, race my sailboat, and do indoor speed climbing.

Yeah, I've been reading about ZFS and it sounds really cool. I'm looking into DFS now. Looks like I need 2003R2 to get it?

Not necessarily. That is the problem with root kits. You could try an in-place OS repair, see where that gets you.

The government has learned that so long as they keep the normal people doing their normal thing, they could nuke France without an uprising. They are doing everything they can to maintain the status quo until they are out of power, then they can blame the depression on their opponents.

That does depend. If it's Office and Firefox, no problem. One of my clients has a legacy app that only installs on Win98. The only way to get the app running on XP is to install Win98, install the app, and then do an upgrade. This is slower than cleaning out the machine.

I think I need to investigate setting some kind of distributed file system. I need a single drive letter at every desk in every office that points to the same share. Unfortunatly, the files in question (mostly Quickbooks) are too big to simply transfer over the VPN on demand. Therefore I need...

Of course, some part of me thought that I was better at flipping things out of the pan than I actually am, so now I have a nice grease burn/blister right on the end of my primary mouse-finger.

I have a fondness for foods that can be cooked, cooled, and eaten in about the same time frame. Example: Warm up the pan, start making quesadillas, continue to cook, cool and eat until full.

Making it a bootable CD would mean re-burning the disk every time an update came out. Even if it was on USB there would be a process involved. I typically do what you have done: connect their hard drive to my own system. Is sending NOD32 and the other standard tools at it the best method?

And I think I know what you thought I thought you thought I meant. So I'm glad we have that squared away. ;)

Damn that looks cool.

You really had my hopes up for a sec...actual dimensions 8"x6" Still a great deal.

No...losing yourself in the problem, not being free from the problem. If you wanted to avoid spending money and thinking about photography all the time, you have come to the wrong place.

Nice Piyono, admitting you have a problem is the first step to losing yourself in the problem.

Handruin, I appreciate your intention and happen to share the opinion of you, jtr, and the video. But the more fundamental point is that these people who have not thought through the topic still hold their views, and will continue to regardless of any argument or persuasion. I had a female...

That is neat, but it seems he's done some customization and tweaking that is outside my linux skills. No matter, I have my own VM that I've been using for this project ;)

What are peoples thoughts on having bank accounts tied to the Euro instead of the Dollar? IIRC, a number of institutions offer such things. Sure, it wouldn't do much if the entire system fell apart.

I'll stay out of this one, thanks. I've found that people have very strong opinions on this subject and don't change them.

The Razer Copperhead that I use now is less than a year old and is still part of their product line. The Habu is the same for all the stuff that matters and the BoomSlang is actually worse. It's not cheap, but I stopped skimping on the interface a long time ago. Even if what I'm doing isn't...

Seriously no posts all day? What's going on?

I'd heard that China was controlling their currency, but I didn't know India was doing it as well.

That does make sense, Tim. Of course, the fund managers might find a way to keep it...

Wow. Yeah, quite horrifying.

I didn't reply to your posts because I agreed with them and didn't have much to add.

I watched the first one, and I actually liked it (though a bit slow). My GF didn't though, too real (death of cute things and such).

Wow. Good stuff. And no, Tannin, I wouldn't have been able to help with this yet. I will at some point, but not yet. Thanks for the info Handruin.

Ugh... Good quote: I think there is some potential there, but I would use a pepper-cheeze and put some more effort into the technique.

...and what does that tell you about the American consumer? That is the fundamental problem that needs to be fixed. We need a smarter population.

I think the word "potential" has the most significance in your post, Time. All this has done is increase the potential in the upcoming fall. By "saving the day" before the common American even knew what happened, no corrective actions are being taken by the people. All this does is allow them...

The fact that they squeeze more money from those that have more money makes sense to me. If they averaged the price to something like $1 per pill, how many in third world countries would not be able to buy? The fact that our patent system sucks doesn't mean that a company shouldn't do what it...

Things NASA has done that are interesting to kids since I was a kid. 1. Challenger accident - It is a tragedy, and they didn't mean to do it, but it got my attention (I was 6) and showed that they were doing dangerous stuff. Made me want to be an astronaut. 2. Hubble launch - Some pretty...

I guess I've become excessively sensitive to spin. If someone isn't comfortable enough with their position to lay the facts out cleanly, perhaps their facts aren't as solid as they are representing? I'm not saying that is the case here, I believe most of what she says to be fundamentally true...

I got the HT-R540 about a year ago and am very happy with it. Though I wouldn't buy a receiver without 2 HDMI inputs anymore. It is the big thing and I suspect will continue to be for some time to come. $1800 is a great price for that TV, though I still think a home theater should have at least...

I made it to "natural resource exploitation" at about 2:24. I understand being mad that corporations are threated like people, but when oil is treated like people, that is a bit much. I agree with 100% of what is said in the thread, but crazy hippie lady is a bit too crazy.

That is far too idealist, Merc. It's a lovely idea and all, and if it worked like that consistently, I would be all for it. But it just doesn't. Things that would help? 1. Transparency 2. Limited terms in any public office - eliminate the "career politician" 3. Limit governments power

As cool as people going into space is, it isn't nearly as cool or amazing as it was decades ago. I'm not saying that they aren't doing neat stuff, or making progress. I'm just saying that they need to take amazing to the next level to get some fresh attention. A moon base would do it, or a trip...

(Paraphrasing Merc) Government is an amoral being that has more rights than an actual human being in our legal system and serve no other purpose than to enrich the tiny number of people who are in a position of power. Government can act outside the best interests and welfare of the majority of...

Everything in society is practiced for profit. Everyone in society wants to profit from their labors. That is why we labor. Saying people shouldn't profit from medicine is crazy. Saying who should profit is the key. Right now the money goes to insurance bureaucracies and lawyers. How do we get...

I do buy new speakers more often than that, but they have a long hand-me-down chain. They never make it to the dump. From my living room to my bedroom to the kitchen to my parents livingroom to their bedroom to my bathroom, and from there on to their friends or a lucky client's office. Good...

What do you think of the leaked specs on the X300? Sounds like an Air clone...

Looks interesting. I'll try and have a look.

No Dunkin Donuts here, Olga misses them from when she lived in Boston. We have the local chain "Happy Donuts", but it isn't the same.

Wow, I think I disagree with everyone on some pretty fundamental levels...let me step in and make an uneducated stab at it. The problem we have is that smart (sometimes corrupt) people are finding more and more interesting ways to take money from dumb (sometimes innocent) people. A politician...

I know. And I'd have to swap out the touchpad for one with 2 buttons. But if (when?) Dell ships their MacBook Air clone, I might buy one. The size is nice, and the weight is nice, but it really does just look sexy. Industrial design is a good thing.

The move itself would not do it, no. Of course the change would have to be from you. But the change is much easier in a more conducive environment. If I lived where it snowed I wouldn't go out, either. If all the women around me were stupid I wouldn't talk to them, and if they were only...

Yeah, that counts. Mine is all in my workstation, and it's not on all the time.

I was at the beach today, it was a bit nipply - 67F...Seriously, if you like boobies that much, you need to be in California.

I have an OSX instance in a VM that I use for tech support. I would likely pay for Mac laptop hardware if they didn't charge so damn much; I don't want the OS!

I can give you shorter, but coherency is not guaranteed.
