All mobile companies in Mexico offer pre-paid phones.
I know more people with pre-paid phones than in a monthly plan, i believe that's why they want to do this as many calls for extorsion or kidnapping are from unregistered phones.
From what i have read, they are linking the info with the real CURP database, so info needs to match, but then it is not really hard to get this info.
I mean, if you have like birthday and names form a person, you can look up on the internet (government site) the CURP or even legally generate it (no joking).
Banorte (a bank in Mexico) issues a "token" from RSA which generates a new number every minute, it is synchronized with your bank account so you can say its "unique" and you need to type it with the password you know for every transaction you do (for example, "passwordNUMBER") and of course is one time use.
It would be awesome if they could give you a certificate for the whole connection, it would be more secure against someone modifying the transaction live.
I did the same but for an association who rescue abandoned pets. It exceeded the hours too but it was worth it and didn't mind either.
And i also used MySQL/PHP for this!:)
I'm not from USA or live there but i attended a private school (for college) here in Mexico and i had to do about 40 hours of community service to be able to graduate.
I agree... EAX/EAX2 is pretty cool if you actually use it (ie. games).
CPU utilization is lower compared to Realtek stuff (i tested this a year ago). And call me crazy but i actually hear the difference between both sound boards, maybe it's just the default equalization but i still like more Creative cards.
Well, it may not be a deciding factor but when you know the applications crash because you are using an X-Fi card with a crappy driver, then you get to worry.
Flash applications crash more often and even mplayer from time to time on my PC, i used to have VIA sound (internal) and i had not a problem, bought an X-Fi for gaming (WinXP) and everything went to hell in case you are wondering.
I know this is not a fault from Linux itself but the companies not supporting it, but sometimes you have hardware (ie. X-Fi sound card, some new wireless card), all the good integration and stability ubuntu have with supported hardwares goes out of the window. Lately, i don't feel comfortable using my PC as flash crashes a lot, sometimes mplayer or other media player freezes and i know it is the soundcard drivers.
But to tell you the truth, with the gaming i do, there is one less reason to boot in Ubuntu. I have been thinking in getting a laptop from Apple just for work because all hardware is support out of the box and then i will just boot to Linux to play around.
Don't get me wrong, i have been using Linux for about 15 years (started with Slackware) but the less free time i have, the less time i have to fiddle with hardware and software issues, i just want to boot up and work or entertain myself and so far, Linux is not giving me that.
I need a laptop or PC certified to work on Linux to switch again.
This could be done like Paypal style, you are not "verified" until you do the bank account/credit card check, in this case if Google for example reported this, you as a mail admin could block all non verified addresses instead of block gmail domain.
The official rank is always sorted by the amount of gold medals, i guess because they want USA to be on top they go for the alternate "Rank by total medals".
Still, you can check the real rank and the rank by total on the official website.
In Mexico we have CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población) which is a string composed by your name and last names, sex, birth date, place where you born and 2 extra digits to avoid duplicates. Since a few years ago this ID is created when you register a born child and for everyone else you can request it. Most paperwork today will require it (paying taxes, getting a passport, etc.) We also have our ID (with picture), widely accepted but the intention of this ID card was for voting purposes. I really don't see a problem with requires this ID to get an official document, opening a bank account, etc. I can see the implication about discrimination, for example, someone who changed sex and look at their ID where it says Male (instead of Female) or viceversa, but then again, this will be discrimination and it's not violating your privacy, maybe you want to keep your sex, age or birth place hide but then you will lie when disclosing this data.
Privacy comes in laws where they prohibit for example bank institutions to disclose your personal info, where a citizen can't access the database containing personal info, punishing discrimination to people who changed sex and so on. That's what you need to fight for, but not to avoid government to ID their citizens.
I know "privacy" can avoid discrimination but that's now how it should work, people shouldn't discriminate from the start.
It's the same it happened to movies. With the boom on digital effects they started pushing the movies to be heavy on effects but no good storyline. People went to the movies just to see how "good" were the effects, you know, "it looks great but kinda boring" movie. Now that we reached the point that most studios can afford them, people are starting to realize the crappy content and now moves to independent movies or low budget films. I believe this is going to happen (or already it is) in console world. Once people have enough of pretty graphics and look for awesome gameplay, they game developers will have to adjust. I mean, check for example Xbox Live Arcade, Virtual Console, etc., they offer old games which many play for the nostalgia, on the other hand, young people also realize there is so much fun in old games and they don't need great graphics for it.
Sadly, a known internet provider here in Mexico ([url=www.megacable.com.mx], IE to enter) does that to cheap broadband users, so there is no way you can actually use Torrents (unless you limit connections but it's slow) or share the internet with more people in your home as 2-3 people doing something can lock you up.
Numbers doesn't reflect anything, taking into account it's really hard to get a laptop with Windows XP installed you have like no option but to take "Vista". I know at least 3 people who bought a laptop in 2007 and when they got it, they installed Windows XP right away. But guess Microsoft still wins as they already sold a Vista license.
There are badges in the game associated with debt, many people at level 50 "kill" themselves to earn and clear it as it doesn't affect you anymore. Still, i doubt the debt clearing in Issue 11 will count towards them.
I have found japanese is really hard to say for english users. Me as a native spanish user, japanese i really easy to say as we practically say it as we read it in romaji.
Of course, english for spanish native users really suck, you just can't give the "latin" accent unless you go to classes to fix the dictation.
I always save my documents in ODF but when i need to share them most of the time i end up sending a.DOC, mostly because tons of people uses Microsoft Office. Also, when i send my resume most of the time they ask for "MS Word" format. Anyway, when you don't know who is going to read the stuff and just end up saving it as PDF and even like that i have seen mails from people like "sorry, i can't open the file send it in MS Word format please". I will say,.DOC for me is more like an "export" format, ODF is the way to go if you only use OpenOffice, i guess it's the same with.DOC for MS Office users.
Well, it happened me once using Amazon. I love anime and there are several people/companies selling them cheaper, when i got my DVDs they look like the real deal but for example subtitles are weird or with mispelled words, after searching around the net i noticed they were chinese imports that doesn't pay license fees, in other words, pirated copies with an "original DVD" look and feel. It's really bad to see you originally purchased somethign and they find it's not the real deal.
You can argue "well look at the price, it's cheaper!" but thing is because you are buying in this case from Amazon and only saving around $10-20 dollars, you really believe it's a good deal.
True but then again, it's cheaper and faster to block a site than install a proxy to disable Wikipedia edits.
And don't get me wrong, i know people will say they can do that with X and Y software in 5 minutes but you need to understand you are not in home or in an enviroment to test stuff, there are politics and guidelines to follow. In fact, if they could justify Wikipedia is useful for their work, i'm pretty sure they will work with something like a filter to edits or just monitoring to see what employees use. Remember, just because your employee gives you internet that doesn't mean you can use them as you want.
Sometimes it just send a header error, only works on IE, even if you send the Agent as Internet Explorer, i mean, google can't craw their website, and the saddest thing it's that they are a big electronic parts shop here in Mexico.

Well, that story was publish on April 1st, also known as April's fool so i don't know if it is true. Do you have another source to back this up?

configure robots.txt please! :)
Well, it's not like they don't search on other engines either...

Oh yeah, if want to be honest, you can sit in every game but then you are not experiencing the Wiimote at all. http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/13

i believe it was a joke as it seems nintendo can not ship enough Wii consoles this year!

Come on guys, where is the link of the edited video with a Tie Fighter shooting down the X-Wing? :)

Hello!
Try http://www.agelectronica.com/
It says "Testing cookie", "Hello", "Path is."
Sometimes it just send a header error, only works on IE, even if you send the Agent as Internet Explorer, i mean, google can't craw their website, and the saddest thing it's that they are a big electronic parts shop here in Mexico.
Later!
