It really doesn't take any time at all for them. Email lists with millions of Email addresses are sold regularly over the net. I know because a few of the pieces of spam i get are advertising thier lists. These lists are jsut imported into the spam program, the user types up a short (or long) message and clicks the "Spam people NOW!" button, then goes off to watch tv. It takes them maby 15-30 minuites at the most. Even if 5 people are interested, out of millions they managed to make some money.
Ouch, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today. I admit, I read his post wrong, I should have been more carefull. It's not like I caled him a name or insulted him, I just thought he had read the story wrong. There is no reason to whip out your flamethrower. You could have just said that I was wrong.

easy, put some sort of detector at one end and measrure the time it takes for it to detect the light, if you know the distance and the time you can find the speed. if the detector never goes off then you can be pretty sure that the light stopped. And i never understood that thing about not being able to measure absolute zero. if you know how much energy is absorbed can's you just take that into account and find the real measurment?
So they use the glass in the wall of a bathroom to make a nice calm peacfull setting. What hapens when they house is sold? or 20 years in the future you get to watch some guy take a leak.
"One big benefit would be a few generations who actually start to think, and still be usefull in a physical sense. As a point, very few young people listen to their elders for advice. As a result, they go and do stupid things, but by the time they are reasonably seasoned/experienced in the world, nobody listens to them anymore."
The reason elders are so wise is because they learned things by going out and doing stupid things when they were young.
I'm sooo sorry about that link from my private site:) I was young and stupid, and havn't updated that site in many years, hehehe. thank you for posting my story btw.
Yeah, That's exactly what I was told, along with a few other rules that make no sence to me. For example, I'm told that I can't use real pictures of any of our students, but yet I'm told to post the school's news letters on the site, compleete with pictures of students. I can't use any pictures of the inside of the school that show the hallway layout because they could be used by people planning on bombing or shooting.

Opps, I think you read it wrong. Power consumption isn't lower. It's the rate of groth of power consumption that got lower. The amount of energy used USED to go up 2.9% every year. Now It only goes up 2.3% a year. It's still going up, we are still using more power. But the difference from year to year is getting smaller each year.
It's just says WANT to see you fry. We can want anyhting we want, thats our business. Just because I want something doesn't mean im going to get it, see #1
I'm currently experiencing this from the other side. I work for the computer services dpeartment for the school district in my town, I'm also in charge of the website. I have been told by people higher then me that i'm not allowed to mention or even link to the districts website from my own personal site, and that teachers may NOT have thier own websites for the classes that they teach unless they are on our servers. I totally disagree with this and Im trying to talk to the people who made these decisions. Some teachers were told to take down thier pages or risk losing thier jobs. The administration in this case is relying to the advice of a lawer who says teh school can be held accountable for something on pages with links to our site, or even for mentioning the district. I don't think it's really the administration's fault, they are just listing to the advice of thier lawers.
OK, This following is a direct copy and paste from the fact sheet. the only change i made was making one point bold. Acording to this they must make steps twords compatablility within 180 days. Compatibilitly has nothing to do with the "advanced technology AIM"
IM Condition
The FCC imposed the IM condition to avert market harm now so that it would not
be required to regulate in the future.
? Given AOL Time Warner's likely domination of the potentially competitive business
of new, IM-based services, especially advanced, IM-based high-speed services
("AIHS") applications, the FCC ruled that AOL Time Warner may not offer any
AIHS steaming video applications that uses a Names and Presence Directory
("NPD") over the Internet via AOL Time Warner broadband facilities until the
company demonstrates that it has satisfied one of three pro-competitive options
outlined by the FCC.
? AOL Time Warner must file a progress report with the FCC, 180 days from the
release date of the order and every 180 days thereafter, describing in technical depth
the actions it has taken to achieve interoperability of its IM offerings and other
offerings. These reports will be placed on public notice for comment.
? The IM condition will sunset five years after the release of the Order.
Even if IM or Netscape becomes an "OS" the computer will still require an actual OS to run. There is no way that AOL/TW can work without an OS as well established as Microsoft's.
Could you explain how this is big competition for MS? MS' main product is it's OS, no competition there. Browser... none there, in fact AOL uses Microsoft's browser. ISP, ok, there is a little competiion here with MSN, but MSN is by far not one of thier biggest services. IM, MSN-Messenger is hardly any competition with ICQ or AIM. I cant really find any competion worth mentioning here. These are just 2 big megalithic companies that offer different services.
If you read the fact sheet linked to in the headline from the FCC it says that they may NOT block any compeeting service. They must in fact obtain contracts with compeeting services within 180 days. It also states that they must begin creating an IM standard, or use an existing standard for IM.
Reverse Discrimination? There is no such thing... well, actually there is, it would be "not discriminating". If a black person doesn't like a white person because of thier color it isn't reverse discrimination, it's just plain discrimination.
Speaking as one of the people "in charge" of a High school computer system I can at least tell you how it is here. We put security software on teh computer not because we want to, but because it's required by the school board. Half the time this software causes us more headaches then the students and facutly using the computers. And we know all the way you guys have of getting around the security, most of them we leave open so you CAN get work done. We know how hard it is to work under such strict controlls that we don't go to all the trouble of closing up every hole in the system. Personally I know that sometimes I will "forget" to turn on some of the filtering on lab computers if i know a class will be using them for research soon. We really arn't trying to make life a living hell for you:)
This isn't designed for desktops or servers, it's for cell phones. You don't need a video card, printer, or tape backup drivers for those. Windowing libraries for a cell phone is just plain scrary...
Im not saying it's right, but if you decide to do something you have to relize that you may get killed for it. They died for what they believed in, they died doing what they loved doing. Martyrs can be a very powerfull part of change, and they deffinitly relize that thier actions have an effect.
Ok, fine, you should be allowed to break the law. But the people who break laws also NEED to be accountable for thier actions. If I go out and protest illegally then I should be held responsible for the actions that I do, I can go to jail, get fined, get the crap beat out of me by the cops, etc... By using an anonimizer over the internet you are then able to break the law without being held responsible, and that's jsut wrong, you should be alowed to do whatever you want without being effected in some way.
The articale states that the sail was "baked" after the first test to kill off anything that may have bene producing the gas. So we went up there looking for life, and then tried to kill it... No wonder the aliens don't want to talk to us:)
