But who do I take sides with? Who is the evil one here, the one in the wrong? Are you sure the article isn't missing a paragraph by a Microsoft manager or something, I need to attack somebody needlessly and follow someone mindlessly!
Me too! And I need a clear direction. None of this shades of gray bullshit: I want a black and white decision!
That's just one story. I'm trying to find the stories about the mass raids here in Georgia that went after illegal farm workers. Boy, were the farmers pissed!
Some are going home anyway with the slowdown in the construction market anyway, do I guess the ICE guys are getting bored and justifying their jobs?
Instead of using something that's secret and can be changed, they want to start using something that everyone can see, and is not changeable.
I guess you'd have to have your biometrics updated every few years as you age. More often if you smoke, drink heavily, sun bath, etc... those things age you faster.
MySpace accounts can't receive traditional e-mail, so one hacker standard -- attach the CIPAV to a message and hope the recipient is stupid enough to launch it -- wasn't available. Instead, the most likely tactic would have been to send a URL to the suspect account using MySpace's own instant messaging and/or Web mail system. If the suspect clicked on the link -- it would have had to be enticing, so use your imagination here -- and visited the FBI-owned malicious site, an exploit for a zero-day vulnerability (or unpatched one on the suspect's PC) would have let the government download CIPAV to the target hard drive.
Don't click on any links sent to you and don't visit any sites sponsored by the FBI.
I guess if the FBI is targeting you and they know that you like kiddie porn, they would set up a kiddie porn site to get a trojan on your machine.
The only thing I can think of is that you're increasing the fat, out of shape, cheetoes consuming segment of the terrorist population...Scary stuff. They do enough of this "training", we could neutralize them with a gift of free broadband and some jolt cola.
That's assuming they leave their parent's basement.
I didn't know he was a Unix guy! What did he do, hack kernel code while on the road? It would explain some the songs. Heh, folks thought they were about drugs but they were about internals. KC Jones watch your speed must have been about race conditions.
Because I've bitched about dupes many times before. Many times. Which implies that I hold the editors to a high standard. If I can't be a standard candle for them when I submit stories, how can I expect them to hold these artificially high standards I force them to?
Because, you're not an editor. You're a customer.
Editors should be held to a higher standard. Period. That's their job!
Vasquez believes that the RIAA could be vulnerable to charges of malicious prosecution, but even that would be difficult. "It would likely take someone on the inside testifying that the RIAA pursued people that it knew were innocent," Vasquez explained. "Then there would be a serious risk of malicious prosecution. But you've got to have them cold."
The article goes into why a RICO prosecution is really just good PR and probably wouldn't work in court.
It's a sad but iron fact of life that market viability and not the quality of the end product defines what lives and what ends up with the Amiga and other good ideas in the storeroom of history.
Just out of curiosity, how many spreadsheets and word processors were available for the Amiga? How about, let's see back then, Word Perfect or Lotus 123?
Yeah, it would be nice in a perfect world, where technical excellence equated to market penetration, but then again, who will be the judge of technical excellence? I am not an electrical engineer, and the Amiga was a nice piece of engineering from what I've read, but it did not suit my purposes. And apparently, it didn't meet the needs of many others.
Since this 3oz liquid horse shit has been going on, Hawley has been saying it's based on "scientific findings" like a broken record. But he has yet to show these "scientific findings".
So what would the justification be for prohibiting lip gloss, nasal spray, etc? There was none, other than for our own convenience and the sake of a simple explanation.
There you have it folks, Hawley freely admits that he's stupid and lazy.
Oh, I'll report if I get on the "No-fly" list for this. Because, obviously, I'm a "threat" for pointing out Government stupidity.
It's not always about YOU! It's not supposed to 'make you feel better' you addled-brained twat, it's supposed to clarify the state of mind of the sender! Would you have preferred that the sender put a big ol' grin in there?:D
Even with the ":D", your words above can be taken as insulting. I don't know about you, but I've been insulted to my face while the insulter had this nice smile on their face.
I work bleeding edge R&D engineering and make $170K a year.
What the hell are you doing here on a Sunday?!?
If I were making $170K a year, I'd be out on my sailboat with girls (aerobics instructors) in bikinis! This, of course, is after playing tennis at the club, a martini, and having my Porsche waxed by a topless babe!
On the other hand, if you're married or divorced, well, take everything I said back.
Oh, if you're a chick, just replace "girls" with "hot Latino named Raul".
It always pisses me off that some web services say in their very long agreement that they have the right to change the terms at any time. I refuse to do business with those people.
Talk America....their telemarketers used to always bother me everyday (before the Do Not Call List) and they always gave me the creeps.
The appeals court also said the district court was wrong to grant Talk America's request for arbitration. Arbitration panels are usually loaded with industry folks and you, the consumer, will rarely get a fair shake.
...as well as how they use their personal information after mergers or acquisitions is one that privacy experts and others have been grappling with since the emergence of e-commerce in the 1990s. When I took a class on buying businesses, one of the ways to finance the deal was to sell off the customer list of the company you're acquiring - regardless of any privacy statement they may have stated to their customers. It's not just eCommerce sites. It's also the Mom and Pop bakery.
I'm all for capitalism and business and everything, but, sometimes, some of the things that are done makes my stomach churn. It does give me some empathy and understanding for the anti-corp folks here, though.
It's called Michael Moore logic. If the government provides it, it's by definition "free".
I don't know about Moore (I've only seen "Roger and Me" and "9/11"), but many people have that same logic. I hear it all the time and when you try to explain to them that you really do pay for it from your tax dollars, they give this look that I can only explain by an example: Go to a dairy farm and start talking to a cow. That's the look you get.
They are also the same folks who think that when they get a Federal Tax refund that they didn't pay taxes for that year. Really, there are people out there who believe that! I thought it was just rhetoric from pundits, but it's true.
Anyway, I was glad to see it was just a cease and desist kind of thing and not a settlement offer. I've been a little more careful since throwing away that pair of underwear, I must confess.
They wrote a "cease and desist" letter on a pair of underwear? Wow! They'd get a better compliance if they write it on a bra - IMHO.

I always get a copy on the Windows machines that I buy and I then delete it because it's a WORTHLESS piece of shit.
Me too! And I need a clear direction. None of this shades of gray bullshit: I want a black and white decision!
Sorry, but they do raid businesses for illegal aliens

It would help keep your identity from being stolen. Which, I think it has. Just look at all the folks who have been posting under your name!

Opps, for those of you who are a lawyer, please respond.
'Nuff said.
Because, you're not an editor. You're a customer.
Editors should be held to a higher standard. Period. That's their job!
Well said, Sir!

Are you an editor?
If not, I don't see any reason for you to apologize. Even if you are, it's not like you're duping an article within a couple of days or less.

No, but I understand that there's a cocaine compartment.

I don't know. Right now I'm a Windows user so all I know is a file system that blows - nothing about systems that suck.
Yeah, but when you die, you go to heaven and get 42 brand new computers - never used!

for their "Spin" artice as an example.
