Dot come failure pros and cons

One of the good things about the dot come failures is that there are now many more geeks out there with enough spare time to come up with these cool ideas. One of the downsides is it also gives them the time to come up with odd presentations of their cool ideas.
You must have missed it in the article where the judge ruled that there should be a story posted on/. with a link to the DOI website to enforce the downtime via the/. effect.
Someone in a local school thought it was a brilliant idea to buy a bunch of laptops for a high school class. They started getting "lost" within a week and by the end of the year there were only a couple left.
Now hold on there, I didn't go out to learn just that much for that reason. It was my horrible grasp of the Spanish language structure in high school Spanish class that would send my instructor into fits of laughter. She would usually say something like "I'll tell you after class what you said".
I used to say that I knew enough Spanish to get myself slapped by the opposite sex, but instead changed the the prostitute quote to put a more positive spin on the dilemma.
Damn, does Mexico have on-screen English translations? I know enough Spanish to get me a prostitute and you KNOW where the first LOTR camcorder-shot version on KaZaa is going to come from.
Not good enough. You need to use the POWER OF ROT-13!!!

" don't you think that it might be a good thing for them"
Not if they planned on doing this through the gaming arm of MSN for a monthly fee.
Lest we forget, the United States has yet to deliver proof to it's own citizens that bin Laden even masterminded the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Color me flamebait, but right now us US citizens have only been told "We have proof he did it, and that's all you need to know".
I'm sorry, but there are large groups of people (many Muslims, in fact) who don't accept this as enough proof. He's widely considered to be not sophisticated enough to come up with such an attack on his own.
Do I know who did it? Of course I do. I have proof, but I won't tell you what that proof is. Just trust me.
Because AFAIK RTCW collects serial numbers and IP addresses and it's only a game that won't work in multiplayer online (will work single player and maybe on a LAN).
Microsoft hashes your entire system and it is production software (Office, Windows) that quits working completely if you do not re-register in time.
The comparison is like comparing your cell phone dying to your artificial heart.
Thanks to the FBI, a whole new market is now being pushed into exploring the world of alternative operating systems.
Talk about a boon to the Open Source movement! Show the people (not just the bad guys) that Microsoft's numerous vulnerabilities can be used by Big Brother to monitor them. I can't think of a better way to boost Linux distro sales.
A local school for "difficult children" was awarded a grant to get these kids all new laptops. The kids then got to learn a valuable lesson about economics via the resale of said laptops to unscrupulous others.
What is a school going to do with these computers when the teachers aren't trained on how to use them? Is someone going to pay for these classes?
Instead, invest money into teacher salaries so that they can afford to bring in the better candidates. Considering many parents leave it up to the teachers to essentially raise their kids anyway, we should be paying these folks accordingly.

There are folks out there who use your combination to do aerial photography for profit. Think about it.
Awhile back AOpen came out with a motherboard that was black and the chipset heatsink was gold-plated. Very sharp.
While many of the motherboards out there are sticking with classic green, there are some that are still using black. AOpen has a line of motherboards that are black with silver, and my favorite Soyotek has a cool black board with purple PCI controllers and yellow RAID connectors. The Dragon can be found here.
Well on the bright side it was worth submitting. Someone just beat me to it and I somehow snored my way through the previous posting. Mod my first post down to -1. I deserve it.

What am I supposed to do, VIDEOTAPE all of the stuff as I open it up in Windows? Like I'd want to type all that code back in by hand.

This judge is one smart cookie, I tell ya.
Give it a try. For all of us.
Uh, isn't she supposed to be doing work on that...oh wait. I'm browsing /. at work. Hypocrite me. Nevermind.
Renders badly? Wait until you see Galeon rendered during a /. effect.

Yeah! Get that CleverNickName guy to get the petition rolling. He seems to know a lot about Wil, and would probably be all for it.

He has mentioned recently that he was looking for something to do so this should fit nicely!

Unlikely. They were actually pets of Keith Richards.
