Too bad you're a prick and anonymous. Yes, beige boxing. Go to someones house, plug wires into their phone lines from the wire or box, then dial the 900 number. Is that complicated?
With the increase in fraud, it's actually easier to get away with things now. Police and FBI only bother going after the big defrauders. Small timers get ignored because there aren't enough resources to pursue them. Order a $1000 computer to an abandoned house and there's basically no chance of the FBI or police bothering. The credit card owner, however, might do it. Even then, the odds of prosecution are low, plea bargains are common, and short or no sentences are the norm.
Fucked up world we live in right now. Perhaps it's time to buy a gun?
I grew up in Socal. Many people I knew would beige box 900 numbers to get time on a local BBS. Several got all sorts of gear, mostly paintball crap, through credit card numbers gained through dumpster diving. These were mostly 16-17 year olds doing the deed, with some doing it younger, but it's harder when you can't drive.
The temptation was huge but I managed to not give in. Heck, the temptation still is huge. Why work hard when you can make a few thousand in a few minutes? Oh yeah, because it's wrong. Sigh.
When I go to the gas station, a video plays above the meter. At the grocery store, the floor has ads, and at some, a video plays at checkout. If I buy a DVD, they have ads. If I pay 10 bucks for a movie, I have to watch ads. In a magazine I subscribe to, half the pages are ads, some running several pages in a row. I'm just sick of it. So I avoid the video gas stations, ad laden supermarkets, and so on.
I swear, they make piracy a more attractive option every single day.
I don't want to see ads anymore. If I never see another, my life will be much improved. I'm perfectly happy to pay for good content if that's the way to get it. Of course, I'm happier to get it for free, but ads are not free. Their toll is psychic.
So right now, I block ads. Few if any make it past noscript and adblock plus combined. The rare times I use a different computer, it's like walking into Vegas. How obnoxious.
My wife and I might not buy a Volt immediately because so many companies are entering the market, but we'll buy the best EV or PIH we can afford sometime around 2010-2011. Most of our trips are 10 miles round. Rarely do we go more than 40 round. In the future, we'll make those once or twice a week at most.
So give me an EV for most of my trips, a PIH for the rest, and a Lotus Elise (30mph highway) for weekend blasts through the canyon.
Talk about misusing words. Free will is a feeling we get that we are in charge of our own decisions. Even when given the choice between compliance and death, we still feel we are making a choice. Free will is about having a mind. Particles, however, do not have minds and cannot make decisions. They follow deterministic rules. Even if there is an actual random element where there is no possible way to predict the outcome, which I find unlikely, then the particles still do not have free will. There is just some uncertainty in their action. You need a mind to have free will. Believing otherwise is panpsychist (everything has a mind - google it) bull patty.

But he's not human at all. He's just chaos with great planning skills. Without humanity, it's just inanity!
That's why Nicholson's Joker is more interesting to me. He was human in his insanity until he suffered a horrible fate, which twisted him immensely. I then understood his motivation. This whole "You can't understand the Joker" rationale is a cop out.
It was a good film, but not great. There was no cohesion, just an intense series of obstacles for Batman to overcome or not. The intensity is a major strength, along with Ledger's acting, but that's about it. Sadly, we never got to learn the Joker's motivation. We knew what he wanted, chaos and twisting people, but we never knew why.
First they addict you through conditioning. Then your lose sleep playing nonstop for days. Soon you're out of a job, your wife has left you, and the only people who will still talk to you are your guild mates, a bunch of 13-year-olds.
And now this bullshit court decision.
This is all proof that Blizzard is actually the Horde. They are evil.
So uninstall the game, cancel your account, and step outside.
One hard drive in your case takes up less space than 166 dual layer DVDs. Realistically, you can probably fit 300-400 DVDs of data on, since so many don't use all of a single layer, let alone all a dual. Or you can pare down your 2000 CD collection.

Soccer moms are easy? Ever ran for political office?
Running for political positions is a lot tougher than carding would be.

Methinks the needs of the sysadmin have completely trumped those of the users. Hiss!
Unless you've got a lot of bandwidth to spare, Flash will kill performance.

Let me translate the press release:
We announce that our future product, someday in the undefined and possibly distant future, will hit 22nm. We're making partnerships to make it happen.
The slashdot writeup is misleading. For shame!

Then he's a shell of a villain. Colorful, clever, but empty and shallow.
They basically said, "Maybe he wants to do this stuff because he's crazy and he wants to." Great explanation if you ask me.
Stop the "farewell karma" BS, people.

Blu-ray porn - $20 46" 1080p LCD TV - $1400 Highly detailed, oral lesbian closeup - priceless!
Full bluray rips are a waste. You can fit 4-5 1080p x264 rips into 40gb. 8gb is enough for all but long and fast moving films.
3 man years and 9 man inches?
Do you hear that? It's the tiniest violin in the world, playing sexy music.
Do people really archive that much porn? That's insane. Frankly, 500GB of porn is enough. Barely. For today.
