In ancient England a person could not produce offspring/have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had "Fornication Under Consent of the King" on it.
So if you live in the US, hook up with lots of like minded geeks, get each one to bring two friends and DO IT.
I've written my MP on this. I visit him personally when he is in his constituency office. I've expressed my views towards the Canuck DCMA, and will express my views on CD levies when her returns from his 53 day "work break".
Most of us here can't protest this, and if the US passes it, it's only a matter of time before Canada and the EU do as well. What do you think the protests of the 1960's were all about? Repealing the laws which diminished peoples rights after WWII.
Don't sit there in you cubicle and wait for the hangman - get off your chair and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
What kind of a sound would it make if I held my middle finger up to it?
I mean really, if the static is so bad that you can't get a good enough signal to hear the person, how is the "face recognition" signal going to get transmitted?
In the office I work in right now, some of the branches will type up a spreadsheet, print it, FAX it to have someone at corporate office re-type and re-format it.
Both parties involved will both have email available to them.
I feel like replacing their PC's with etch-a-sketch's and photocopiers. Hey! Monday is April Fool's!!
That's what flames me! I never did subscribe to anything MS! How did they get the only address I've never published?!?
Especially following that link to try to sign up passport to remove yourself from passport, and it says "Upgrade your browser to something current". I have the most current version of Konquerer;-).
Anyone concerned about personal privacy must take drastic steps to avoid all the bots and spiders that are out there. Spammers war-dialing email addresses and sending HTML emails with 1x1 gif's that set cookies, thereby stealing my info...did you know that Netscape mail doesn't pay attention to HTML settings - "Do Not Accept cookies" - for HTML email?
For example, a couple months ago I started getting emails from M$ - a monthly MS Office newsletter. To my default account that I've had for 10 years without spam! Not to one of the disposable spam aliases..How? I never signed up for it! I don't use/like Office! And I've never never published that address! So I tried to "unsubscribe". The link (cause I'll be dammed if I'm sending them an email to verify my address from!) told me "You do not have a passport account..." Duhhhh!
So another one arrives today. Here is the link, sent to me from "0_28145_1E184A2F-7C3F-D111-9D3F-0000F84121EB_CA@N ewsletters.Microsoft.com". It said "You can manage all your Microsoft.com communication preferences from this site."
Aren't these unsubscribe things supposed to work? Yea, Yea, I'm not stupid enough to click on them from spammers, but from Microsoft? With all the scrutiny they are under right now?
p.s. - after I previewed this story - the link automagically changed from microsoft.com/misc/unsubscribe.htm to microsoft.com/info/unsubscribe.htm!! Interesting!
Ever notice around bridges, along the edge of the roadway that there is no grass, only dirt? Even from a bridge that's been there 20 years. That's what salt does to the environment.
Most places only put as much salt as is necessary (Edmonton for example puts 6-12% salt in sand for the roads) as it's expensive and doesn't work below a certain temp.
As for slugs - I don't know what they do for the environment, but they sure are tasty!
Perhaps. I thought the post quite good at first too, until I realized that it was just a rehash of another post. It really stirred me up to learn the poster had been doing the same thing to others, not just themselves.
or maybe you are just a psuedo account of one of the editors?
En'guarde!(and it's the blockquote in bold game, try to keep up:-)
Actually, the parent post is my original work
I never said it wasn't - just it wasn't original. As in new, fresh. It's a failing of the mod system that lets people recycle old work, file off the serial #s, drive it across the border and call it new.
I've only recycled one other post but it did get a +5 like the original authors.
That's what I'm talking about.
Maybe you need to work on writing better posts hmmMMM?
My karma was well over 200 before the cap, so some people think I post pretty good stuff some of the time. And I've never had to resort to AC to protect that karma. Frankly, because I never cared about it.
No, you are an idea thief who can't come up with an original thought.
There is nothing in the/. rules against recycling your post.
Nothing in the/. rules about playing frisbee in traffic at rush hour while blindfolded ethier. Try that for a while.
You seem to think karma matters. Original thought and discussion of ideas and opinions matters, which is what/. is about. Rehashing old ideas is redundant.

If not zero tolerance, then it's discrimination. Even in the form of "Well IT is responsible enough to have access..." Sure they might be, but you are still discriminating no matter how you look at it.
"Corporate inhumanity" is a fact of life, it's called capitalism. If you don't have to deal with it, more power to you, but the rest of us do.
As for George Carlin, he's an irritating commie pinko anyhow:-)
No real management is going to take this seriously.
I am "real management". MIS for a fairly large shop, a couple thousand PC's. We are basically an AS/400 outfit, but before I started, my predessessor had no concept of internet security. Mostly because it didn't affect out bread and butter AS/400's.
All PC's were basically on the 'Net. Full, unmonitored, unmetered access. My guys has so many "My PC is slow" calls, within the first week of my tenure, we had over 300 individual viruses identified. When you are dealing with an AS/400, it is basically text. When there are 10 people using a 4M DSL line and it is saturated with data, there is a problem. Especially when you pay per MB.
So the first thing I did was turn off the firewall to get things under control. Then once monitoring began, we found many people visiting a myriad of porn sites. Plenty of desktop wallpaper that would make a $5 whore blush. Can you say 'Sexual harassment in the workplace lawsuit'?
Once my staff had eradicated all viruses (minus 100 or so PC's that got chernoybl'ed) the damage came out to several hundred thousand dollars of company money that could have gone to my salary....er...^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H back into next years budget.
If you want to make a buck, TAANSTAFL. The company is there to make money, not give out free high speed internet access. The hardware is there to help the employee make money for the company, not cost the company money.
Then everyone had to sign a new company policy regarding internet usage. Basically, obey company policy, or you're gone. You don't like it, don't sign it. Internet usage is a tool, not a right. If the employee doesn't want to use that tool for the benefit of the company, it won't be provided for them.
And before everyone gets bent out of shape, the policy does say it can be used for personal use on breaks, lunch and after hours, if the employee stays away from porn and viruses.
IIRC, Microsoft OS/2 1.2 (yes, there was such a thing!), NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 3.51 could all read HPFS partitions. They dropped support in NT 4.0, but if you copied the %winnt%\system32\drivers\HPFS*.dll from an NT 3.51 install and copied them to NT4 same location, then NT4 would read HPFS.
I think the major change from HPFS to NTFS was that HPFS was only capable of locking down permssions to the directory level, and NTFS could do it to the file level.
Myths:
1) Toilet seats cause pregnancy.
2) Guns don't kill people...
3) You'll go blind if you do that.
4) Filesharing is illegal.
Is it not illegal. If I want to share a 10 minute recording I made of my guts gurgling after eating a dozen eggs and a litre of olive oil, called "...And justice for all" it is not illegal.
Anything I own I can choose to share freely. Copying a copyrighted work and sharing it freely is illegal.
I wish they would get to the root of the problem, the music today that doesn't suck is way too expensive, or bundled with many other tracks that do suck. When another album like "Rumours" or "Dark side of the Moon" is released, I'll buy it, but I'm not paying again for albums that I've already bought 2 or 3 times (Vinyl, tape, CD).
Until they start producing decent music that I want to buy, the RIAA can fold it till it's all sharp corners and cram it up their ass.

So FUCK is an English word.
It's true! The editors are trolling us now!
Where? When? Set it up! Make it happen!

in the corner of some ISP, a shiny new server is crying "You published a link to me WHERE?!?"
For example, a couple months ago I started getting emails from M$ - a monthly MS Office newsletter. To my default account that I've had for 10 years without spam!

Ok, I'll stop feeding the trolls now.

Better yet, give us his IP address and we can let our fingers do the walking.
"Corporate inhumanity" is a fact of life, it's called capitalism. If you don't have to deal with it, more power to you, but the rest of us do.

I first read that as "This will get me laid" and I was gonna ask what your secret was....
I am "real management". MIS for a fairly large shop, a couple thousand PC's. We are basically an AS/400 outfit, but before I started, my predessessor had no concept of internet security. Mostly because it didn't affect out bread and butter AS/400's.

Depends...did you eat the red pill or the blue pill?
I think the major change from HPFS to NTFS was that HPFS was only capable of locking down permssions to the directory level, and NTFS could do it to the file level.
I notice one name conspicously lacking... Metallica How interesting!
I make six figures, and the mortgage on my new 3 bedroom home is about $800 a month.
Probabally why companies like Ford have moved call centers here, and why companies like Bioware and Quicken have their main offices here.
1) Toilet seats cause pregnancy.
2) Guns don't kill people...
3) You'll go blind if you do that.
4) Filesharing is illegal. Is it not illegal. If I want to share a 10 minute recording I made of my guts gurgling after eating a dozen eggs and a litre of olive oil, called "...And justice for all" it is not illegal.
