Not quite. Its one thing to visit the site, another to actually enter in data.
And who really cares what browser agent they are using? IP i can understand you dont want to post (even though some forums do log it publicly), but browser?
I use Firefox from a USB drive. Hack me. (Really, please try. This is a public terminal)
I might be alone here, but I have never heard of anyone flashing headlights to signal about speed traps. That would be almost courteous. Think about it, a courteous act from someone who is admitting to being a jerkish driver. It just dosen't make sense.
If I ever saw that, I would just think that they were being a jerk and trying to flash me.
Even though I agree that you deserve the ticket you get, I have to point out that I hate driving at 25mph. Its too low for third gear to run smoothly and too high for second gear.:( I need a new car.
I completely disagree. There are many people smart enough to drive according to the rules and "without having to worry about a shakedown." Why penalize them?
Maybe some sort of opt in program would work where you go in and say, "Hey, I'm a retard who drives bad. Instead of trying to find me, can I just pay $2000 a year and you let me go when ever I break the rules and get it done with?"
As was already said, a tax is something you HAVE to pay. You never HAVE to get a ticket. Thats what we call a FINE, as in a punishment for being stupid.
Well, I guess put that way then its really a tobacco and alcohol fine.
Yes, its so easy stereotype driving patterns for all the thousands of police officers and identify those patterns on a black speck.
Sry, i call BS. Your not smart enough to outsmart the system on your own.
or is it a little creepy for a guy to be helping his 7 year old sister avoid parental supervision?
I dont have a problem with kids having a computer, but you shouldnt be doing it behind the parents back. What every system you use, they have a RIGHT to know about it. Even if it is your sister.
For most situations I would agree, however with seat belts there is a factor in which your decision effects others around you. If your own decision will kill you and only you (ie motorcycle helmet) then its your choice to take the risk. But if you are in a crash without a seatbelt then you may be thrown out of the car. This presents a danger to others by 1) having another obstacle in the road. You may be thrown into oncoming traffic and cause a secondary collision. 2)losing control of a vehicle that you may have been able to control had you remained in the seat, and thus cause a secondary collision.
I really cant see myself or anyone getting addicted to using any electronic device. Games, of course, but an addiction to using a phone/PDA? Get real. The only time I use my own is when I am actually working on it, or when i am very very bored waiting for something. I have a few games on my PDA, but they only are fun for about 10 minutes before I get bored. I doubt many people huddle in their basement browsing their contact list for hours on end.
Except by knowing that she *may* be a target then she can pretty much avoid any problems by just being a smart consumer. Actually, nm. she already proved she isnt.
Really, you have to be pretty gulible to fall into alot of fraud traps. Some are more tricky/unavoidable (like this one) but its or own responsibility to keep track of yourself. ie multiple credit reports from different sources, monitoring bank accounts, etc etc all of which should be done regardless of if you consider yourself a threat or not.
Or just boycott credit cards and thereby save yourself most financial head aches.

The $54 Million Laptop

Why would an employee really steal it though? Would they expect nobody to notice? It very well might have been honestly lost, thrown away, or resold. The same waiver she signed about it getting lost *should* also cover any personal information on it. You dont have to be a techie to know that you dont hand something like that over. When the plummer comes over, do you leave him on his own? And since when does "lost" mean "destoyed"? To me being stolen falls under lost. You dont know where it is.
As for BB leading her around for a while, Im not surprised. They very well might have been making attempts to find it. Would you rather have someone say the first time that it is gone forever or say we will look for it, come back tomorrow. BB screwed up, but not 54 million worth.
Fact: Moron spills coffe on themselves and gets 2 millions dollars for it. I dont care how hot it was, or what she was wearing. She ordered it, and spilled it. There are cup holders in cars you know.
Its stupid for this lady here to say that she dosnt expect to get that much, and that she just wants some sort of justice by making it public is rubbish. Anyone who sues another for that much money is either really greedy, or the case is really really big. IMO she should get a replacement laptop and a gift card, o wait she did.... Punitive damages are a joke, compensation is all that is really needed.
I am hoping that the SP1 that is in the works addresses most of the problems that Vista has. Until that is officially released then I say just wait it out. I doubt Microsoft is going to pay attention to a petition like this until then. Now, if this is still around and growing a few months after they release SP1 then that would be worth looking into.
For all we know, Windows Vista SP1 is going to be the best thing since sliced bread.
Funny that nobody has yet commented on how they cracked Mac. For years the main advantages that I have heard Mac users claim is that they are:
1)Easier to use (which I contest)
2)"Virtually" immune to hacking attempts
So what stuff like this shows is that it is just as vulnrable, there is just no motivation. I can't wait until all the grandmas that bought a mac because the nice gentleman told them that they wouldnt have to worry about all the mean viruses (or is it virii?) that they have heard so much about start getting hijacked when the market share gets high enough for people to care.
Some times quality quantity and some times quantity quality. I once took a math class with my dad at the local community college. He would spend 3 hours a night and get a 95 on an assignment, and I would spend 30 minutes and get a 90. Who would you hire? Correct answer: depends on the job
Its the same concept for multitasking. Some things are better in serial (such as a train) and some are better in parralel (such as a freeway). I dont want my surgeon to be diagnosing and treating other patients when Im on the table, but my secretary better be able to remember two different phone numbers at the same time.
I can multitask. Im not saying I can do two things at the same time without slowing down or loosing quality, but when necessary I can reallocate some mental resources from project A to B for a positive net gain.
Example I wrote this while watching TV and IMing my parents at the same time. So what if there are some gramatical errors and typos in it. This is/.
Actually the selling point of those turntables is the easy of being able to convert in onto mp3 on your computer without having to use the your soundcards analog inputs. There are better ways to do it, of course. But this is easy.
I lived over there for several years in all of the major cities and never saw any time that the public transportation got a right of way. We always had to wait our turn just like everybody else. I dont know about emergency vehicles though. The Czech Republic sits right next to poland, but I think they are a bit better equiped technology wise. They seem to be a wealthier country IMO.
I dont think ive ever owned or known somebody that owned a firewire device. I have the port of course (its disabled actually) but there just arent many devices that use it thus nobody cares to upgrade it.
Come to think about it, i cant think of ever seeing a firewire device.
Funny how the people I meet who say that they know they are going to die someday and that it dosnt bother them are the same people who dont seem to be very happy. IMO if you really really didnt care that someday your going to die then you would do something to advance the process as life is generally harder then it is happy. If there isnt anything past death and its just a blank void of non existance then I for one would opt for the void rather than face the multitude of daily problems. Whats the point of anything good if it all comes to naught?
On the other hand, the people who really are happy are the ones who believe in some form of afterlife and have something to look forward to. They might not care that they are going to die someday, but its for entirely different reasons.
Back to the topic onhand. I dont know what side to take on the whole philosophical "world will wake up and unite because of some disaster" theory. Some people might, but theres alot of people who wouldnt care that society is going down the drain, infact they might be speeding the process, because they are benifiting in the here and now and they expect to be gone by the time more problems arise.
"In addition, the geometry of the two Einstein rings allowed the team to measure the mass of the middle galaxy precisely to be a value of 1 billion solar masses"
precisely eh? Give or take a billion.
Its good to see that not everyone wants to destroy gaming as being evil and corrupting the poor little kids. This was the first time that I have seen gamerdad.com and i plan on using it more in the future. Its a nice reference site from the little that I have seen so far.
Also reading the original report, i noticed that they based their findings for the adults on "2,392 adults (aged 18 and over) of whom 690 have a child in their household." Even considering that all of those 2392 adults were partners and that the corresponding partner was also polled, effectively halving the total households to 1196, then that would mean that some 500 households polled didn't even have a kid present. Suddenly the numbers showing adults saying "Ive never seen this" or "I dont know what this means" dont mean as much because they DONT NEED TO. Either they included data from 1500 people without kids (or without custody) or they drew their conclusions from a sampling size of 700. Neither seems to me to be very reliable. Another point that Colleen could have brought up.
Sure sure. I mean alcohol isnt addictive is it? Tabaco is harmless and quitting is easy. Even mary jane is just a little fun./sarcasm
If you think that marijuana isnt addictive your just a plain idiot. Its great to see so many people saying "I'm not addicticed! I am totally free! I can stop any time!" Great. Then why dont you? Most of those saying that it isnt addictive are in fact the same ones using.
Anyway, a comment on the original article. I really am not surprised that something like this has come along. I donno if i support it or not. As a treatment option then that is a maybe but as preemptive measures then no way. A little education and parents who arent morons should be enough. The adage that abstinince is the best prevention goes for more then just sex.
You totally missed that he was using that as an example of feeling out of place. Its not about his sexuality or anyone elses. Thats simply a comparison that most people would catch.
