"Wanna come back to my basement and I'll show you mt hard drive magnet collection?" "Oooh, I'm getting hot just thinking about it! Take me! Take me now!"
...this sort of news is what as known as "disinformation".
So it's OK to let your guard down now because those screwups at the FBI can't manage to pay their bills on time. Sorry, but I call bullshit on that one. If somebody with clout thinks you need to be watched, rest assured that you are being watched.
But seriously, wasn't it almost exactly 100 years ago that humanity learned an important lesson about mixing helium and airships?
Doesn't helium have the unfortunate property of being, oh I don't know... extremely flammable?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the American public-school education.
I noticed his handle is "MisterLawyer", which ought to explain the ignorance. He's probably been hitting his head on the ass end of too many ambulances.
Are you saying that Microsoft doesn't have internal documentation on the Office95 formats? Haven't you been paying attention? What do you think this article is about? They upgraded Office and now they CAN'T READ THEM ANYMORE! No-one can!
There is nothing rational about women. Would you care to support that statement? If you cannot or choose not to, what does that say about your rationality? (It is worth noting I believe you are likely a male rather than a female who writes to degrade and misunderstand members of her own gender.)
In lieu of evidence backing up your claim, I offer my wife as an example contradicting your generalization (even if my assumption regarding your sex is incorrect). A lynchpin of the relationship I have with her is our mutual ability to consistently solve our problems rationally. To reinforce that point, her name is prefixed with the title of "doctor", a respected and enlightened status one does not achieve without the ability to reason. Not good enough. "Doctor" doesn't automatically equal "rational", in fact in many instances it can mean nothing more than "able to regurgitate and parrot dogma".
Why don't you luser "guitar hero" wannabees learn to play a real guitar for fucksakes? Oh yeah...that takes effort and a little talent and artistic ability.
It doesn't "detect lies"!!! It detects physiological changes ONLY! Determining what those changes actually mean is entirely subjective and open to varied interpretations!
The average user will not be able to find their Outlook or Outlook Express files, much less back them up. Hmmmm...'File'...'Import and Export'...'Export to a File'
If you can configure an e-mail account, you can figure out how to do that.
Ever hear of backups? You know...the thing you do to data before installing a new piece of software? Yeah Outlook 2003 changes the.pst file, but so what? If you took the extra few seconds to copy it before installing 2003 you wouldn't have this problem now, would you? BTW a.pst file is something you ought to be backing up ANYWAY unless you really don't need to read those saved e-mails again. Disk failure, anyone? I also have both Outlook 2000 and 2003 clients in an Exchange environment and there is no problem with individual users using either version. The only real source of grief are occasional MINOR formatting hiccups when files are opened with different versions and documents that reference a database for merging purposes, but these are merely annoyances, not critical failures.
US interstate highway system - when else in history could you travel non stop from the Atlantic to the Pacific without hardship? Um...there's this thing...maybe you've heard of it...called a railroad, that predated the interstate system by about 100 years or so. Canada also had a couple of them too that facilitated easy coast-to-coast travel. But since you put Europe's rail system on the list why not add:
We have reached our goal of $10,000 and its all thanks to one generous caller who didn't leave his name! But thanks to Insta-trace we've learned it's Homer Simpson of 783 Evergreen Terrace.
Good! they can start by zapping all that annoying hard plastic bubble packaging that every bleeding thing seems to come in now and is harder then hell to open without damaging the contents! What frigging idiot came up with that idea?!? If there isn't a hell, they should make one, and put idiots like that in it! I know...a prison...we'll strip them naked and make sure their cells are free of anything with sharp or pointed edges, and all their meals, toilet paper, soap etc will come wrapped in their diabolical inventions!
Maybe because steam engines arent turbines? Not true.
The Pennsylvania Railroad built a hugely powerful steam turbine locomotive, and there were others as well. 6900 HP is HUGE for a single steamer, but that much HP is usually only needed for freight trains, and PRR's monster was terribly inefficent below 40 MPH, and most freight trains spend a large portion of their time running slower than that. Also diesel-electrics were starting to come online, which are much more efficient at slower speeds (about 25 MPH is the most efficient speed for a diesel-electric freight locomotive). It might have been useable pulling a fast, heavyish, passenger train, but the newest competition of the day had wings...
"that AT&T has to spend billions on network maintenance to carry illegal pirated traffic -- which they probably couldn't recoup by suing people"
Yeah and you also have to spend billions maintaining a network so that morons can blather on about inanities! That's what being a telco with common carrier status is all about! You're supposed to recap your expenses with a user fee structure, while being completely disinterested in the nature of the transmitted content, you dumbass! If you don't know that then obviously you're the wrong man for the job!

Oh goody. Now I finally have a real good use for all those hard drive magnets I've been collecting.
Er...OK.

You are aware that all the terrorists on the 9/11 attacks had valid visas right?
Really? Why would bush and cheney et al need visas?
