I know you Kingston military types are easily worked into a froth, but please... try to calm yourself down, or else you'll make RMC look like nothing more than a boot camp.
And make sure to cancel your Social Security number and date of birth too.
From the linked article:
Experts say the victims could be dealing with the potential identity theft for years; unlike credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and date of birth information cannot be canceled and reissued.
Microsoft continued to send out versions of Windows XP. Three weeks ago, Kodak got the latest, numbered "build 2481." Kodak engineers say this version has a new, simpler way to launch photo software after a camera is plugged in. Instead of a nine-click process of setting non-Microsoft photo software as the default, it lists competitors' programs alphabetically in a pop-up box, along with Microsoft's.
It isn't all they want, Kodak engineers say, but it's a big improvement. Instead of a roadblock, "it's just a speed bump," Mr. Gerskovich says.

In a letter to Microsoft after tensions began to ease last month, Mr. Gerskovich sought assurances that the pop-up box allowing users to choose their photo software will be in the final version Windows XP. "Our business plans depend on this, and its absence would wreak havoc on our digital camera strategy," he wrote. Microsoft says the box will be there, and that Kodak's software will launch easily, just as it has in past versions of Windows.
Let's see how many/. privacy advocates post nearly direct links to their home addresses and birth dates in this article.
Just enter any callsign you see at this callsign database to find all a poster's personal info.
Just thought I'd point out that little security leak to ya.
I won't be posting my callsign here, or on usenet, for many many reasons. I advise other Hams to be just as careful with their callsign as they would their SS number.
I just got through watching Me, Myself & Irene, and if there's one thing to be learned from it, it's that skin lotion tends to work better, without being greasy like butter.
I don't know about him, but I am. In fact, damn-near every part of the Accord is made in the USA. There are a few exceptions (seatbelts, some sensors, etc.), but most Honda vehicles (except the CR-V, S2000, and NSX, all of which are made in Japan) are comprised of such a high percentage of domestic parts that the US EPA classifies them as domestic vehicles!
For those of us using a more sane phone, that's 4817022688084631 (including a single-quote, and it's 10 keypresses cheaper!). (In actual fact, that string will probably work with any T9-enabled phone.)
BTW: If you have tendonitis, a lot of doctors will tell you to take Advil (or a generic version of it). That's because Advil is an anti-inflamitory drug that actually reduces the swelling in your wrist. Since the swolen tendons is what is causign all the friction (which causes more pain and more swelling), reducing it is a Good Thing. Other pain killers will 1: not reduce the swelling, and 2: ease the pain, allowing you to cheerfully type away and hurt yourself more.
Yep! Advil is an NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug). Any NSAID will have the same (or similar) effect.
However, be warned that NSAIDs are not a magic bullet; constant use of them has been shown to cause stomach ulcers/bleeding.
If you type a lot, get an ergonomic keyboard (the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro is a great piece of hardware) and a decent chair (I highly recommend the Aeron Chair if you can afford it -- it's like floating on air, even after sitting it for hours on end!). Your body will thank you!
Imagine a software company CEO with a vision and sense of his own rightness as strong as Alex's. Even if that person's company wrote pretty rinky-dink code, I'll bet it could end up dominating the desktop computer operating system market.
I knew Bill had a twin brother! If you have more proof, liberate it for all the world to see!!!:)
Testimonials are enough to convince people for now.
Translation: Instead of doing something which has a 75% chance of drastically reducing my sales, I'll do something which has a 75% chance of slightly increasing them.
Remember, it's not how much you spend, it's how much you save... right?

That one didn't seem to work -- slashdotted, maybe? -- but a simplified one does:

At about 6:30 EST this evening, many meteors broke apart and headed south coming from Canada.
My sources have informed me that our air strike was supposed to go unnoticed.
We'll have to try again before the Toxic Texan® brings his defense-shield into service...

But I still gave it a +1.
And by posting non-anonymously, you've just undone that moderation, and wasted the mod point.
Keep up the good work, Skip.

Sorry to let my patriotism show so blatantly, but Microcell has been offering GPRS on their GSM network all across Canada since April 4, 2001.
Not only that, but they don't bend us over nearly as much: C$75 (~US$50) for 25MB (and $3/MB thereafter) on the cheapest GPRS plan.

FWIW I really like the cover art on O'Reilly books, at least those which look like woodcuts or engravings. Very classy.
Uhh, if it's an O'Reilly book, damn-near everyone in the industry will know it's worth buying regardless of what's on the cover.

I think spammers should pay a penny per k to both me and my ISP. A 5k spam would cost a dime.
Rob, repeat after me:
1 x 5 = 10^H^H5
1 x 5 = 10^H^H5
1 x 5 = 10^H^H5
A penny times five equals a nickel. Hell, I'm even Canadian and I still know that much"...

That was truly the sickest thing I've seen this week. I actually screamed when I saw it! (I'm refering to parents .sig...)
Yeah, pretty fruity, huh? Aren't prolapsed rectums something else?!
