I work in a US call center and that happens there too.
1) Customer calls in, we get SSN to bring up account.
2) Sometimes, customer must be transferred for various reasons. Ideally, the first rep will wait until the next rep picks up, then tell Rep 2 what info was given, but sometimes this doesn't happen and so the next rep has to start all over.
Here's a clue, folks... most Congressmen do listen. If you call them, if you write them, your opinion is taken into consideration.
Mine don't seem to. Bond, Talent, Blunt, all of Missouri, all good little Republicans marching in lockstep with what the Party wants. When I've written them with such concerns, they will either ignore me or send back a form letter saying (for example) how great the Patriot Act or the DMCA is.
I routinely go through Firefox's cookie manager and delete any cookie that isn't necessary for logins and keeping preferences. My fiancee does the same thing with Mozilla.
On that note, it's obnoxious that some webshites require cookies just to browse. It's at least as annoying as saying "Sorry, you're not using NS 4.0 or IE 4.0; go away." Bestbuy.com is an example of this.
No, it *raises* the question. "Begging the question" means circular reasoning, e.g. "You can't expect eighteen-year-olds to vote intelligently, because they are too young to have good judgement about the issues".
Yet another part of English butchered by Slashweenies wanting to appear intelligent.
Ultimately cryptographers want some form of quantum repeater
A repeater sounds like a perfect medium for the man-in-the-middle attack that would be otherwise impossible with quantum systems. Just replace a repeater with your own doctored version that tees output to your receiver.
OTOH, am I fundamentally misunderstanding the properties of quantum transmission?
Afilias uses PostgreSQL, so now we know who the Slashdot croud should be rooting for
We should support a company just because they're using some software that the "Slashdot crowd" would find politically correct? Rather, we should root for whichever company would do the best job of administering the domain.
It's been a feature for years with Norton Antivirus, at least since the 2000 release. NAV's only limitation was that it could only read and write FAT partitions -- this was so until at least 2003, I've not tried '04.

Since when has that stopped Congress from overreaching?
Who modded this crap up?

Don't forget executive orders, which are more or less laws that the President enacts.
There's an XFCE 4.2 live CD here.
"xeon4life". Looks like he's an Intel fanboy/troll.
That all depends on whether your mobo's manufacturer will release a BIOS upgrade to work with dual cores. I guarantee you that some makers won't.
Got a citation for that?

I got the same thing from Missouri's two senators and Rep Roy Blunt. Since they're my only "representatives" in Congress, I'm screwed.
You could download ZipSlack. As you might guess, it's a Slackware distro small enough to fit on a 100MB Zip disk.
Never say never, friend. Enough money and power can go a long way.
Why do you think Zombies is seriously flawed?
I hereby move that the word "bureaucratic" be struck from /. usage because nobody can fscking spell it. Same for "ridiculous".
Killfiles are wonderful things.
Find yourself a Catweasel and your prayers will be answered.

I'm impressed that some rising-star prosecutor didn't get him sentenced to eight years of hard time. Maybe the system still works here and there.
You can't get a GF4 card in PCI Express, that's why, and most PCI-E motherboards don't have AGP slots.
Too much to ask for around here, but did the people who modded this up actually load that image?
