You're right. Man, I miss the US already. If only they'd found that man in time, our republic could have been saved! "O beautiful for spaciou..." ah man, I can't do it, I'm tearing up here!
TGSSH is convenient, but I do wish it had a couple of additional features. It'd be nice if sessions stayed up while changing applications and if it was a bit quicker taking input (from a keyboard, that is).
Not quite. Infomercials help pay for the TV and cable channels being broadcast. E-mail spam costs both you and your ISP time and money (respectively? probably.)
Heh, maybe they just know that they'd get more spam complaints online than they could ever handle. Having submissions come in offline would probably reduce that burden by about 1000x and still cover most spammers.

Well, that sure makes up for it. "Hey, some of those guys might've been really bad people! Why, I think one of those children could have groen up to be the next Osama!" Please.
Ok, 3000 is "really a very small amount". So what are we so upset about? I mean, they only killed around 3000 of our civilians when they attacked. It was unavoidable!
By millions, are you trying to imply that the US military is _that_ competent? Because, if they were, they could have avoided killing 3000+ innocent civilians.
Skip the BBB - they're a useless business-oriented telemarketing operation, nothing more. Basically like TrustE. FTC and USPS are definitely the way to go, though, since they violated the law.
I think you're grossly overestimating the effect that would have on the execs. Unless by canned you mean, "Thanked heartily for making everyone in the know very, very rich, offered a hefty severence package and great references for their next executive position." The only heads rolling would be those of the laid off underlings.
Why wait to get the PVR? They're great little devices now. Who knows how great they'll be in the future.
Most of the shows I watch have horrible commercials. Some of them, they're so bad and so uncared for that the color even drops out of them - FX I'm talking about you - and they're so repetative. How many times do I have to watch an ad about painted silver dollars or penis "enhancement" products before I should be able to decide I'm not interested? Apparently the anti-PVR crowd thinks that I'll eventually buy in. As if that would stop the problem.:)
I don't pay by the byte for my cellular service, through Sprint PCS. The Cingular plans didn't look like they worked that way either - it's mostly by the minute.
FYI, Promise's Ultra100TX2 supports >137GB drives (I'm using it for a terabyte backup server as well). New ones don't have to be flashed, older ones have to have their BIOS flashed.
"We're giving in to the evil PanIP company like several other companies have, oh Slashdot, won't you feel sorry for us?"
If you don't defend yourself against this abuse, _you are part of the problem_. Slashdot cannot help you, especially since you've already decided to settle. <constructive>If it isn't too late, call the EFF, perhaps they can help.</constructive>
"But unfortunately, owning the OReilly books doesn't entitle you to be able to access them online."
That is, access them on their web site. You can put them on your own private webspace, on a CD, etc. It's no different than mixing your own music CDs from CDs you legally own.
But yes, O'Reilly's fees are much less than what you'll pay to scan it all yourself.
Beer has a known and proven effect on the brain and the body in the majority of children that consume it. Violence in media and video games do not. It's that simple. If they provide proof that violent video games cause a majority of children - scratch that, maybe even 5% - to commit violent crimes, maybe then it would be different.
Until then, this sort of thing should be left solely to parents to decide. (I'd go further than that, but this fits within your parallel).

Try ed with TGSSH, much easier.
Ah.. I think I understand. Sorry. Mod my post down, it was uninformed.
It's possible his ISP didn't send him his old server back, so he needed a new one.

Yeah, civilian lives matter a whole lot to our military. (For those that don't want to click, it's more than died in the "9/11" attack.)
I've seen no sign whatsoever that people running IIS * are now suddenly concerned about security. :)
* I mean, people who weren't concerned before, of course.
Or uucp.. or even xten. Perl's more worthwhile than either one of those.

Sure, it'll be overturned. The question now is - will the judge be censured(sp)?

netcat should be made standard as a replacement. :)
Yeah, but now that they've caved in (and announced it to the world that they don't have a backbone), the floodgates are opened, for them anyways.
I still stand by my "boo hoo" - they're part of the problem if they don't fight this.

"JonKatz asks: What makes these stories so popular and enduring?
The answer is simple: advertising."
I think it is even simpler than that: globalism.

"unless you have a buddie who has a brother old enough to buy it for you etc"
Which means the very next step will be to ban such video games/media, "for the children".
