Ego inflecto ut poeta pro mihi.-40hz (September 04, 2008, 08:43 AM)
So I was probing around with the 'ol volt meter to find the ground pins on the jtag port, and I must have shorted something on the serial port (the pins are close together, so it's easy to accidentally short something with a voltmeter probe), as I suddenly noticed some LED's started blinking.
I ignored the behavior and continued probing, until I finally noticed the state of all the LED's. They indicated an OK state,- a successful boot!
Somehow in all the probing, somewhere I must have initiated some undocumented hardware-reset, which fixed up the bootloader again! I hooked it up to the PC, and it worked. Got an IP over DHCP and everything!!-Gothi[c] (September 04, 2008, 03:22 AM)
this is exactly the kind of thing that is most important for the OS to get right -- a common interface/api for all of these things that should be sharead/common throughout all applications.-mouser (September 04, 2008, 12:03 PM)
What is the 2nd best most efficient and cheapest way to take notes while showering
Google's Rebecca Ward, Senior Product Counsel for Google Chrome, now tells Ars Technica that the company tries to reuse these licenses as much as possible, "in order to keep things simple for our users." Ward admits that sometimes "this means that the legal terms for a specific product may include terms that don't apply well to the use of that product" and says that Google is "working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service. This change will apply retroactively to all users who have downloaded Google Chrome."
It's worth noting that the EULA is largely unenforceable because the source code of Chrome is distributed under an open license. Users could simply download the source code, compile it themselves, and use it without having to agree to Google's EULA. The terms of the BSD license under which the source code is distributed are highly permissive and impose virtually no conditions or requirements on end users.
So, there you have it: a tempest in a (chrome) teapot. Not that it's the only one;
So, that explains the cacophony and mass exit from the meeting that I called this morning!-cranioscopical (September 02, 2008, 07:48 PM)
CrossLoop - Seems like the best choice except that I would have to call my parents up every time I want to use it.-alivingspirit (September 03, 2008, 09:46 PM)
A drawback of the free version is, it's not that easy to install on remote computers. Using the $$$ pro version I could send just an e-mail. User clicks a link and voila, I have remote access. That's why I use Crossloops to install LogMeIn.-wr975 (September 03, 2008, 06:27 PM)
I know it sounds like a bad case of "RTFM" avoidance
Once I have a remote connection (which is usually dead slow in Crossloop (using VNC)
by the way -- does anyone know if there is a term in the field of commercial marketing where a company releases a product without the actual intention of spending much money marketing it -- but instead just to scare away or keep the competition in line, using the threat of large-scale marketing if a competitor tries to challenge them?-mouser (September 02, 2008, 10:14 AM)
Are there any other free novel writing software besides ywriter4?
you wouldn't bring a SLR to any of the parties I attend, unless you're bat-shit insane
I'm still not certain how this article is self-serving. The question you replied to was rhetorical, intended to highlight the ridiculousness of such a claim, though you seem to have caught on to that part...

Your analogy implies that the stealing of data is equal to the termination of employment.-Ehtyar (September 02, 2008, 06:28 PM)
Will someone use this article as an excuse to fire all their employees?

While it's worth noting that most studies published by commercial vendors are ultimately intended to drive sales of their products, the Cyber-Ark study highlights an important issue that CTOs and IT managers should think about when cutting IT staff loose.
Getmooh is an automated call back service. It is designed to help you escape a variety of situations by calling you automatically on your phone at a pre-specified time and playing you a recording which will either instruct you on what to say to elude your tormentor(s), or which will simply give a convincing sense of you being on an important call.

Notes
1. Caller ID Policy: Getmooh run a very simple Caller ID policy. At the end of every call, the mobile number of the person who placed the called is read out very distinctly by a computer generated voice.
2. Availability of minutes: Getmooh can only make a certain number of calls a day. As people add calls, the minutes available get used up. Select the closest time to when you want a call. If the time you need is completely booked out we apologise...we are working to increase the number of calls we can make all the time.
3. Number of Calls: You can only use the service for a maximum of two calls a day! If you need more than that you should consult a health professional.
4. Prank or Crank Calling: If you are going to set a call for a friend be sure that if they call us and identify themselves as the owner of the number we can happily verify who gave them the call.
5. Why is Getmooh free?: Because Google exists.
Thanks for the updated link Mouser. It is from my hometown. It's a shame it had to end this way but in this lawsuit happy time it was a matter of time till it ended. I feel sorry for the guy's family but the lawsuit in my opinion was baseless, the guy knew the risks going in.-Rocker452 (August 30, 2008, 06:06 PM)
