Either that or she wanted a double phallic and lamented that Peter O'Toole was already taken.
Most players, rippers, etc., can deal with a certain amount of scratching on the bottom (reading) side of the CD, and the polishing-type methods will probably fix those scratches that can't be read. What I've never been able to fix is a scratch to the top (label) side of the disc that goes through the reflective layer that needs to be mirror-like.
...is the equivalent of the free annual credit report, so I can audit the my history as represented in the database.
Everything else I can take up directly with my employer, insurer or doctors.
I still remember some of the opcodes from memory... I started out on an Ohio Scientific Challenger 4p, doing hand assembly.
The $12 apple shouln't be hard, considering a C64 with a bunch of games on ROM can be stuffed into a joystick.
It's either a mental health issue or a statement about social isolation (i.e. they have nobody else to call). These callers may be wasting emergency call center time, but the two linked in the article sound sincere; this is not Bart Simpson asking for Ivana Tinkle.
As for why the call handlers stayed on line so long, I would presume they were waiting for the caller to get to the point of the real emergency (which never comes). Mabye the caller who lost her glasses injured herself, etc.
Some of the other calls on the Avon & Somerset Police website do clearly sound like hoaxes ("I've just been robbed! A boy took my 50p.").
allowing the computer to become the active text is incredibly important. Yes. That way the government can change the story at will and we don't have the documentation to prove them wrong later.
Sure, you can win by a narrow margin, but that is hardly marks the beginning of change. What do you mean?!? George W. Bush won by a narrow margin (or maybe none at all) in 2000, and that's when things really began to change!
I'm not Joe Campbell, but I'll go on a limb and say there has to be a multitude of examples of community-edited fiction bthrough the millenia of human history... The Kalevala? The Bible?
Of course none of them relate to TFA because they existed before CC licensing.
Instead of the outdated image of a waiter bringing a telephone on a platter for a patron who has received an important call while dining, I picture the waiter carrying an open laptop tray-style to deliver an urgent text message.
Maybe the menu will be delivered in this fashion! And the patron is sitting at a big-ass table.
The "unrequested" word is the hole in EFF's argument. Many radio stations and music publications have websites with some language of the effect: Send promotional materials to this address. That's a request as far as I'm concerned. My wife is an independent recording artist, and at first it pained her to see the promo copies on eBay and Amazon marketplace competing with the real product, but at least the music is out there. We don't sue anybody; we just ink the name of the station or publication onto the face of the CD. The descriptions of the used product for sale let us know where not to send promo CDs in the future.
As an aside: Surprisingly few radio stations and publications will accept any digital form of promotional materials!
I've only had very minor issues with sellers; the biggest issues I've had were with buyers, and they've always been on high-value items (musical instruments & equipment) where shipping costs are high enough to think twice about paying to take the item back.
Hiding feedback to discourage retaliation will only work if it's double-blind (both buyer and seller feedback hidden until both have left it).
I'm sure we'll see IP squatters just like we have domain name squatters.
Actually, I think my employer is one of them, since our ISP sold us more static IPs than we needed. Wonder how I can resell them...
I would concur with those who suggest trying to take on the managerial role at your present job, and I think one big reason for the negative experiences of those who've taken that path is the lack of a clear definition of the job duties & responsibilities. In a small, growing company that never had an IT manager, this is quite likely. Upper management is not likely to really understand what any of the IT department does, and may expect the IT manager to be responsible for any activity that requires employees to touch anything electronic. It's a recipe for unhappiness if you don't set limits.
Watermarks tied to users offer the RIAA an easy way to frame anyone
Forget being framed by the RIAA... How about the case where the owner/licensee of a legitimate copy has their computer infected with malicious software that allows access of the media to unauthorized users. Those unauthorized users get busted for the cybercrime, and the victim of their crime gets busted for illegal sharing.

So all the oil & gas resources actually belong to Santa's North Pole micronation?

Maybe Microsoft is lawyered-up and ready to invalidate Dell's B.S. trademark on Cloud Computing.

there's only so much interest in continuing security-only fixes to older versions...
I bet there's plenty of interest... from users.
How is it for EMI/RFI in those enclosures (I'm guessing the VCR is not so bad as long as you maintained original shielding).
...I thought computer-generated abuse in the UK was something along the lines of the Shakespearian Insulter.
...Except I'm not in Richardson. I'm not even in Texas. I'm in suburban Chicago. At least they got my browser correct.

Good idea! It's already well documented that slot machines are more secure and transparent than voting machines.

The first thing I thought was "I bet Gopher (70) is on the list."

Evolution, the origin of life, and even the big bang are basically the same, and powered by UWTB.

Great for music, great for games, and game development. Even though my C64 is long gone, I got one of these as a gift: http://www.amazon.com/Commodore-64-Games-One-Joystick/dp/B000701CSM It's good for some of the old favorites. Paradroid anyone?!?
