Also, posting child pornography is illegal. Posting the blacklists would be posting child pornography in all of the cases that are not borderline, and a percentage of those that are.
If not, you can buy an iridium phone for around $1400. Plans are around $30/mo, and $1.45 a minute, Or you can do prepaid. They work everywhere, and are pretty portable. You can call the phone from the US for regular long distance charges using a pass-through number.
Amazing...another pessimistic slashdotter suggesting that instead of trying to find new ways to efficiently power the world, we just shut off everything that takes power.
Bug tracking software is great, and we implement it at our workplace (large company, so there are several solutions depending on what sort of project it is). However, it's important that the overall management gets done by a person. Put a person in charge of all bug fixes, have them start a Microsoft Project (or whatever the OSS solution is) file that tracks everything, assigns each bug to a person, and puts them in order of priority. Bug reports go in your bugzilla, this person gets notified, they map out the priority of the bug, who's skillset best fits it, when and how fast it needs to get done, etc.
There's probably a product where developers/bug-submitters can note the priority of their perceived bug, and can do this sort of thing for you. However, it doesn't solve the problem. Developers are going to pick the most interesting bugs to fix, not the most important (they're not always the same), and bug-submitters tend to think all their problems are life and death high priority. A manager is your best bet.
Well, it doesn't look like they're allowing uploads to the codebase. I don't know that it can be relicensed, but the only improvements microsoft can take and make proprietary are the ones Microsoft has in its codebase.
In essence, Microsoft can take their ball and go home whenever they want, but if you take a copy of their ball and make it better, they can't take yours.
I got 150 dollars (33% tax on bonuses, too...ended up with $100. Thanks, IRS!). I was a little upset (I was expecting something like 500-1000, don't know why, that just seemed like a normal amount for a christmas bonus), but I realize that times are hard, and I haven't been at my job very long, I get the week off between christmas and new years, and a lot of other things roll into that. A G1 would be pretty nice, as my Blackberry has gotten pretty beat up over the past year...
My Dad got an even better bonus. He got told that his company might not be here after the new year! Man, those Google employees sure have it bad...
Well there's your problem. You're trying to promote yourself. You need to become recluses, only playing shows every so often so that very few people can figure out that you guys actually suck (or even who you are).
Then, become friends with a series of emo, or even better, kids that call themselves "scene". Ask them if they have heard of your band (without making note of the fact that it's your band). Inevitably, they will not have heard of it. You will then be the coolest person among this crowd for knowing a band that no one has heard of. From there, make a CD of your shitty music, and give it to them.
At this point, you sell your CD. Never perform a show again, but always make dates around town to perform, and then bail (if you like the club owners, tell them you're not going to show up in advance, and just put a poster on the door). You'll sell at least 1000 CD's before your manufactured unknown band fad bubble pops. Then, your band "breaks up", you form a new band with mostly the same members, and you do it again.
I've never had the patience to deal with emo kids but if you do this could end up making you millions.
How is this insightful? It's not even true. The law most certainly differentiates between pictures of nude children and child pornography. You can take pictures of your infant taking a bath, it's not child pornography.
Yeah, it should be a white-listing only solution. The firewall blocks absolutely everything but what the teacher allows. You could make this pretty user-friendly to the teachers, with a desktop client on their PC that allows quick white/blacklisting to all the computers in their classroom.
Maybe even a feature to allow whitelisting to google results, but pages get filtered for obvious porn, and in the case of unknown sites, automatically sent for review by the teacher before they are forwarded to the student. This would be more for young kids than older high school kids (that would use it to show their teachers goatse).
Another cool feature would be to allow the teacher to push content from her PC directly to the monitor in front of the student, where the student is able to review it in depth. Not just powerpoint slides, but maybe 3D interactive graphics and other such things.
Does something like any of this exist? If not, c'mon Open Source! Lets do something original!
A non-chalant "stop being creepy" as a dude is being creepy to a chick tends to work wonders. Even at parties, it works remarkably well. Call dudes out for being creepy, and they'll tend to try to stop being creepy.
Also, girls love it. They might touch you afterwards.
It's a transmission for wind turbines..so no?
And increasing power output by 100% means doubling the power output. I don't see where perpetual motion comes into it.

OneCare has been discontinued because they no longer sell it separately. It will be bundled with windows in upcoming releases.
OneCare was actually one of the better products on the market.
Movie nerds are among the largest classes of nerds, dude.

Is price an object?

Anyone know what happens to the extended warranties? I still have 2 years left on one for my TV.
Because you're shorting yourself, and screwing over other people?

It's not free, but the free trial of Snood is still a ton of fun for me.

Umm...you're not depending on it, you're using it for your movies.
Do you also keep Flash off your boxes?

The same people that buy the porno channels...
You were probably just a weird kid. Also, you were probably a douche to people that tried to talk to you. So they picked on you.
Don't blame the teachers, it's not their job to protect you from the mean ol' bullies. Grow some balls.
So just make it a facebook app.
Radios will still work so long as the base station and the radios are all inside the cage. As for cell phones, you can always go outside to use them.
