    This was on CNN a good time ago. They were all happy because they caught some guy that turned himself in after seeing one of those build boards. There are many problems with these things. How long till people start acting in vigilantly ways? You couldn't put what they are wanted for without getting someone angry or violent. However if you didn't put up what they were wanted for people (especially in USA) would over act. Sure its neat but how long till someone who is actually not wanted for something ends up on one? If I wanted to see who was wanted for crimes I would go to the post office. However, If these things were only used for missing people I don't see the harm in them and welcome them fully.

    I don't think I have bought a printer that has come with a cable. Most of the time the box doesn't say one isn't included. Granted the printers I buy are the cheapos for 25-30 bucks but ive gone threw 3 so far and none came with a USB cable for it. I'm not sure if this is the case for most printers but It makes sense. It gives the retailer a chance to mark something up without making the printer more expensive.

    Im not currently at my machine at home so I can't remember off the top of my head but you can change the start menu back to the way it was in XP. I have it set that was at home, I might have downloaded something though, not sure.
    Also I run a AMD 4200+ and 2 gigs of ram and my start menu opens instantly. 320gb of programs listed in there and its instant. You probably have some issues with spyware or viruses slowing your computer down.

    Who even says that the sensor necessarily needs to be fully electronic? You can have a mechanical piece that sticks in the fuel tank and have an electronic control piece that's outside of the fuel tank. In fact, this is exactly how the gas gauge in your car works. This design has, quite frankly, worked well for decades. Sure there's a few disadvantages, but, uh, who cares?
    And Plenty of people run out of fuel while driving the cars. Last thing we need is airplanes falling out of the sky.

    *looks at picture on link* Looks like most of them are in their 40's and 50's. So yeah Im going to say a lot of them were there from the beginning. It wasn't like a job to them most likely. In order to maintain a site like that you would have to be a fan your self. Also I don't know of many people that maintain websites that don't maintain more than one at a time. Most likely they are involved in other projects.

    First if they were not admins they wouldn't be able to install anything. So this would have never happened if they couldn't be admins. So you are basically saying no kid you can't play video games at all or do anything on your computer. If you were to argue a more sensible adult should regulate what gets installed it would make no difference. This was a video game that has worked for quite some time now and would be trusted. They adult would just log in and do it himself. Also Don't you need root privileges to install things in linux? Guess what happens when your running that installation, as admin, that was bugged and for some god awful reason it deletes your important files. Linux doesn't protect them either. It has nothing to do with the OS. It has everything to do with the programmers program.

  21. Re:Maybe I'm wrong? on Can Blockbuster be Sued Over Facebook/Beacon? · · Score: 1

    The problem with that arrangement, at least for Blockbuster, is that such information sharing put it in violation of VPPA before Facebook changed its privacy policies following an outcry over Beacon, Grimmelmann said. The mere fact that Blockbuster passed on movie choice information to Facebook friends without user consent is a violation of VPPA, he said. That information exchange between Blockbuster and Facebook took place in the background without the Facebook user's knowledge, even though the user's consent might have been needed for it to have been shared with other Facebook members, he said. RTFA helps sometimes.

    The problem with just turning them off is the company will frown upon that. They didn't purchase these for their employees to not use them. No matter how you look at it weather it be only 5 extra min or 2 hours of extra work being accessible via Email at any time. People want to go home after a long days work and not have to deal with all the problems of them. I can see why they would be fearing having them, but turning them off could arise problems with staff.
