Seat belts (and air by to a lesser extent obviously) are a completely different matter. Pretty much everyone knows someone who has been in an accident, or has been in one themselves. Even a simple low-speed rear end will cause you to be thrown forward into the steering wheel. As a result, a seat belt is an obvious safety device, and I am still stunned how long it took Americans to realize, hey, this little strap of cloth can save my life, or at least my face!
For the life of me, I can't think of anyone I know who had to dial 911. Ok, ok, I had to once because I was in a non-serious accident, and my car was immobilized. If I dialed 911 on my cell and it didn't work, I wouldn't know what to do. It really is one of those things you just don't think about, and don't check into, but expect it to be there when you need it. And if it isn't there, or is not fully functioning, there'll be lawsuits.
Which is why, despite all the disclaimers and waivers and signatures and warnings on service contracts, VoIP providers should be the last ones opposed to this regulation. I think the reason they are opposed to this is that I can't think of a way to provide a VoIP service address without relying on the user to key it in. And I think, for regulators, that's not good enough.
Why would life on Venus have to have originated under present conditions? We don't know how long Venus has been a pressure-cooker, what it was like before, how long the change took, and was it possible for life to adapt.
There are also some theories that include comets and asteroids as bringers of life.
So then maybe it is time to look into some other genres. There is more to music than rock, country and pop, if you're not liking any of the new music from genres you normally do like, hint hint, widen your experience. All the genres are always progressing and changing and mingling, so rock now and rock 5 years ago isn't the same, for example. Even bands change.
So your options would be to try new music, or look into the backcatalogues.
How frustrating was it for you to start up XP for the first time after 6+ years of the Win95 desktop, and the minor changes that subsequent versions brought, and not be able to find the options and settings you are familiar with?
It's a phenomenon not unique to cell phones. Phone calls always seem to be much more important than the person you're talking to right now face to face. Yeah, I've come to your store so you can ignore me to answer a call.
Yeah, a lot of places, instead of moving area codes around (like in Alberta for example), just add a new area code to whatever is there, give it to all the new subscribers, and move to 10 digit dialing.
Also check out Contingence (their first album, Dominion, is practically a masterpiece) for some great sample-heavy industrial. FLA of course did it as well. Fear Factory may have, on Demanufacture, and Leather Strip too, but I'm not sure off-hand.
These days I'm into Velvet Acid Christ. They sampled a TON of movies, of all kinds, mostly sci-fi and horror, and have released some 6-7 CDs to date, so you'll have fun with that.
The parent was specifically speaking to responding to www.* requests, but replying NXDOMAIN otherwise. By the time it gets to looking up www. on Verisign's server, it's too late, Verisign already acknowledged the existance of the domain.
I thought it was 'those who study history will recognize when they repeat it'. I think it's been proven beyond any doubt that people rarely learn from past experience where it matters. And People (as in the royal 'we'), never do.
Unfortunatelly that's not how DNS works. You, a user, requests www.xxx.com. Your ISPs DNS server gets the request, and can't find it in its cache. It queries the root DNS servers for the authoritative source for xxx.com. It then goes to that server and asks to resolve www.xxx.com. So Verisign will never see the www.

Compiling down to native assembler ops (like C/C++ is) really mangles your code. Even very basic optimizations will result in drastically different source. Hell, Java bytecode to Java decompilation sometimes has no resemblance.
And what kind of a pervert would wear a GOLD watch anyways? I thought they were only sold to companies to give to their employees as token trophies after 10 years of service.
You're missing the main point: watches look nice. It's a jewlery/accessory. Which is why there's not that much updake on plain digital watches. When I get up in the morning and forget to put my watch on, or leave it someplace, I do catch myself looking at a naked wrist every 30 minutes and feeling a little exposed and lost, but the feeling of disorientation passes, and that's not the reason I carry a watch. It's shiny and looks nice, it's convinient, I always know where to look to check the time. And finally, I don't have to worry about clock A being synchronized to the atomic clock, clock B being 10 minutes late, and clock C being 10 minutes fast, and, oh shit! clock D has a dead battery.
And I'm sure NASA engineers knew it too. But until they can reanimate the rover, verify their theory and have some good news to report, no one's gonna be saying anything.
There may or may not be laws, but it also depends on the specific ISP on how long they keep logs of various sorts. My ISP keeps raw Radius logs for at least one billing cycle to settle billing disputes and for auditing and revenue assurance purposes. After that I imagine they get backed up to tape, or may sit around compressed for a couple more months, and I know for a fact that they're stored in an Oracle DB pretty much indefinitely.
DHCP log records are probably much smaller than Radius (standard Radius start and stop records can get quite large), and there is less activity, as many people just leave their computers on.
You're missing the point. Mach 3 is nice, as far as razors go. You need a razor cause you're supposed to look presentable for work, and taking the current definition of 'presentable'... the bad part is the shaving. I, and many other men, hate shaving. There's just no upside there; it's sharp metal on your skin. I'd love to do without it, and if there was a razor-less shaver out there, I'd ditch the Mach 3 like a bad habit.

Oracle doesn't charge you per record stored in database, or number of queries. You'll be paying Oracle per databse CPU, or a site licence.

Yes, and if Kerry wins, come next election it will be the Republicans' job to make people's priority unseating him.

Oh yeah? Then how come we see so much history repeated? It's not like no one studies it.
Anyhow, WTF am I doing replying to an AC.

Well, this would be +4 Interesting (Informative even!) if you said how often this bit gets flipped by cosmic rays.
Unless it says otherwise, assume it's solvent-based. Or you can just smell it.

Sounds like you're not being paid to be on-call 24x7. Maybe the cell phone isn't the problem here?
