I just bought my first bilingual keyboard laptop and it is driving me nuts. I'm getting used to the Enter key placement, but that shift key is a pain. I came across this program which lets you remap the bottom-left backslash to shift.

It isn't perfect. It works well when typing words and paragraphs, but doesn't work for highlighting or some other functions.
Dropbox states that all files on their servers are encrypted. I had assumed this meant the key was encrypted with your own password, but this exploit suggests that the files either are not encrypted, or encrypted with a freely accessible key.
From: https://www.dropbox.com/help/27
"All files stored on Dropbox servers are encrypted (AES-256)"
The treadmill companies aren't going to like the sounds of this.
Funny coming from the guy posting anonymously!
Yes, my capitalist pseudoargument is a bullshit because you disagree with it. It *IS* an argument, you just don't like it and perhaps you think everyone should do things exactly as you wish simply because you think it's important. You might also think that every product should have lots of laws governing how they are made and those companies should have legislation that manages everything they do.
Whatever - if you don't like it don't buy it.
You completely missed my point... if you don't want to have these things don't use it. Nobody is forcing people to use this phone just like nobody is forcing them to use Facebook. These companies, which are companies, sell you a service in which you pay a monthly fee to continue service. Who cares if it's retroactive? It's a service and service and privacy agreements get updated *all the time*. You pay for that service.
If AT&T tomorrow doubled its rates I would probably dump AT&T and sell my phone. Likewise, if you don't like the change, dump the phone and move on. I'm not trying to be a douche, but what promise was made to you or anybody else that these things would never change? Their previous agreement allowed them the ability to legally update it. I understand being upset but I was responding to opt-in and opt-out, and it's pretty simple - your dollars are your vote for you and how serious you are.
The last thing I want to see is a bunch of people up in arms saying we need laws to prevent this. I call BS on that. Nobody is forcing you to have a smartphone. Nobody is forcing you to use location services. And certainly, nobody is forcing you to have an iPhone. It's simple, and while that may sound brutal, that's the benefit of your ability to choose.
Also I disagree with your "rendering their devices useless" point. C'mon - not using location based services doesn't render the phone useless.
I don't believe this has anything to do with iPhone 4 - it's iOS, which you run jailbroken or not. I'm not baiting you here but why do you care about an anonymous account of your location?
Actually, there's an easy way to not agree and to opt-out and opt-in...
Don't buy the phone if this bothers you. That's the opt-out. Apple makes the phone and they have every right to do this. You, as the consumer, have every right not to buy that phone if you disagree with this. Nobody is forcing you. Could Apple make it more like Google (assuming Cory Doctorow is right)? Sure, but they chose not to. So consumers have to make an opt-in/opt-out decision: buy Apple or not.
My point is that we act like Apple is oppressing people with these policies. People either care or they don't. I don't care.
Also, you don't have to be online to play the base game. However, if you have any DLC, you must be connected to the internet and logged into your BioWare account through Dragon Age to access it -- and if your saved games have any of that content in them, that means you can't load those saved games unless you're connected to the internet.
I have DLC and have no trouble loading my saved games while disconnected from the internet. Oddly enough, while I *am* connected to the internet I occasionally get an error saying I must login to load a saved game with premium content. So far I've always just been able to click "OK", and then "Resume" a second time and I get in just fine.
I'm playing the PC deluxe edition ordered from Impulse.
A router won't alert you when a program or service tries to access your connection, but a software firewall will.
Turn on logging and your router can notify your PC, your email, your blackberry, etc etc.
Hardware firewall via log entry/email:
Alert! Your pc has initiated a connection with xyz.com on port 80. I already let this through since you told me to allow all http traffic from your pc, so if it's malicious, tough luck.
Software firewall via immediate popup in current session:
Alert! backorifice.exe is attempting to open a connection to xyz.com on port 80. Since you've never authorized this program for any type of network connectivity, I haven't allowed this connection to be made. Do you want to allow it?
Your choice.
Related to this... is there any software for linux that functions in this way? (Blocking connections by program, with gui notification)
What this country needs is a good five cent ANYTHING!
