Airline kiosks ask for your frequent flier card or ID to retrieve your reservation. Not that your ID isn't identification, just that the kiosks prefer something that's consistent.
Actually, this can already be done on Verizon Wireless to Verizon Wireless calls, and maybe AT&T as well.
Dial your OWN voicemail, then once you get to the main menu, hit option 2 to send a message. It then asks you for the 10 digit mailbox number (which is the subscriber's phone number with area code), it says their recorded name, and allows you to leave a voicemail.
I've used this to try to determine who called me if they don't leave a message - the system will play their recorded clip of them reading their name.
Now the funny thing is you can't open files with more than 65000 rows in excel
If you're looking for an easy solution, just upgrade to Excel 2007. It removes the 65000 row limit (and instills a much much higher limit of millions of rows).
Sure, I only manage less than a dozen machines. But my machines are named after the greatest bands of the 80s. Journey, Survivor, Genesis, Survivor, they're all there.
And I have an internal MediaWiki set up for documenting them all, including every role each server provides.
Still don't get it. You already can export into a standard format (RTF or any other formatted filetype). Now if competition actually existed that rivaled Office, that would make Office better. But how does a file format do that?
As an aside, think how good MS Office might be if they had this level of competition due to having to implement a proper Open Document standard not specified by them. Everyone would get more work done, would be fitter, happier, healthier and better, and Microsoft would probably still have the lion's share of the market.
What the fuck? Yeah, I know I'd gain at least 3 hours per week in productivity if Office used a standard XML format than its current implementation.
As far as I can see, people who complain about sniping are people who [...] b) let their emotions get in front of the judgment and decide that the most important thing is that they don't "lose" the auction.
Hence why sniping is bad for sellers! As a seller, you want the emotions to infiltrate a bidder's mindset.
I just installed the IE8 beta. Overall, it's slow, but I'd expect that from a beta. My main concern is that, at least on my machine, the popup blocker was disabled by default. Is this the new standard?
Verizon Wireless Sync does this on Windows Mobile phones so long as you have the Outlook client running on your desktop PC, it syncs it over-the-air. However, this (parimeter detection) sounds exactly like what I was looking to do a while ago, but never completed it. Perhaps I will start the idea again...
While I agree with your point, as well as think this is a ridiculous FUD campaign against Boeing, I think an important point to note is that the Boeing 787 is not flying commercially yet. Thus, using death statistics prior to its release does not prove that the plane is safe or unsafe.
Verizon's Wireless Sync is indeed push, as noted on their homepage:
Wireless Sync uses advanced "push" technology so you can stay informed up to-the-minute - as if you were in the office.
It's actually really sweet - I only ever have to hook my Q up to my computer when I'm installing software through ActiveSync. But it looks like another company, Intellisync, develops it, so it's interesting that NTP is going after VZW.
Because it's not a commercial product we're not going to get the IE experience where the lazy bastards never fix anything and just add features that are broken.
That has nothing to do with it not being a 'commerical product,' and everything to do with the fact that it's the underdog - it has to win customers over to gain market share.
He did it right as he was set to serve jail time. He was set to serve jail time after the federal judge ordered him to.
How did Bush time anything? He was reacting to what happened on Friday. Heck, he could have done it on Friday and it would have gotten even less play in the news.
It's always been my dream to set up a non-profit (for everyone else except me of couse) that rakes in money by charging other companies fee levels that I just make up.
There's always money to be made in the carbon offset business...
Agreed. I had the same problem not too long ago about making dynamic charts that look professional.
My solution was to use Perl and Win32::OLE to interface with Excel 2003 using VBA scripting within Perl. Sure, it's a Windows-only solution, and it's not open source, but it was an intranet problem that needed to be solved.
Boy do I remember that chat software, even back to when Yahoo used it for their chat. All I remember from it are the long list of flaws that I used to exploit for it. Like, downloading the rooms303.exe file from your FTP site and configuring it to connect to another server on port 4071 to create an admin user, and then have full control over the other server.
Or the other trick of logging in with a telnet client on port 4020 and pasting an ASCII telnet character to automatically load URLs in the other users' client software. This was especially used with the flaws in the HTML client to make people say something, or execute commands, such as/admin add.
I've always wondered, did you guys know of all the flaws in ichat? The "community" kept it pretty quiet, although I'm sure the big wigs at Yahoo, MTV, townhall and nintendo all knew about them.
As a Vonage user, I've wondered what kind of problems I might run into, but last week, I began to feel anxious and my heart began to pound / chest pains
Thank you for your post, and I appreciate your courteous reply, although our opinions may differ. I was going to point out the reason many people object to these reasonable fraud-reducing measures, but you did it for me. The reason, quite simple, is that these mysterious people ("students, the poor, non-native-english-speakers") are, in fact, the democratic voting bloc. I am not a Republican nor a Democrat, but it is obvious to a free-thinker that the real reason most people either support or oppose these measures are not because they care (or don't care), but because these people traditionally vote Democratic. Although you mentioned this, it bears repeating.
Voting is a major responsibility and a major right that should not be taken lightly. I am sure you are opposed to military recruiters walking around with billboards asking people to sign away four years or more of their life without a second thought, why wouldn't you be opposed to signing someone up for the power of controlling the lives of everyday Americans that same way? It should not be taken lightly, it should be something that you must sit down and think about before you go and do it.
Your next issue is showing photo ID at voters booths. This, with all due respect, I feel is a radical belief if you do not feel that voters should show ID when they vote. You may speak about the "mythical" voting fraud that occurs (but everybody here has an opinion when the subject of electronic voting comes up), but if it doesn't exist (which I'm just giving you the benefit of the doubt), why allow the potential?
"In either case the address must match the address you're registered at, which legally has to be your current residence - moved since you got your driver's license five years ago? Sorry!"
I don't know for sure, since my state (New York) requires you change your address on your license within 10 days of moving, but isn't this the case in Arizona? There is no fee to do this. I don't think this is a big request.
"the obvious point of attack - is voting by mail. Far easier to fake in quantity than it is at the actual polls, right?"
Have you ever voted by absentee before? I did, last week. I had to request the ballot, which came with an envelope with my name, address, district, town, all the works on it. There is no way, if everybody does it this way (and I don't know whether or not they do) that this can be exploited.
By the way, one more thing, McCain is not a conservative, he is a liberal with an "R" on his name. I'm sure you'd say the opposite about former Senator Zell Miller, and I would agree.
"Meanwhile, the number of legitimate people denied the right to vote by paperwork problems, poll worker errors, long lines they don't have the time off to stand in, and the like is somewhere in the region of five percent."
How come we didn't hear about this five percent when Clinton was in office? Quite frankly, I feel this is one of those "lies, damn lies, and statistics" polls. I don't see how anyone without a motive (and Democrats' motive is to make sure their poor, students, and non-English speakers vote without problems, no matter what fraud may occur) can think that the people disenfranchised by requiring a proper ID when you vote outweighs the potential fraud that is prevented. Honestly, it's not that hard to get an ID, or a utility bill, or some other form of ID.
Again, thank you for the respectful post, however, as it's always enjoyable to have a reasonable discourse with someone whose opinion may differ.
I hope you just wanted to object to what I said, and didn't really think through this statement. Why, I ask, do you think it's a good idea to give the power of the United States government, because that's what voting is: power, to people who show no allegiance (which is what you must do when you get your citizenship) to America? Why should Canada's citizens who are non-naturalized have any say in our intragovernmental affairs?

Why Isn't IE8 Passing ACID2?
Basically, it fails because of XSS on the other sites.

Trust me, I was tempted at first.
Apparently you've never stepped foot into the DMV, or a post office. Government is the antithesis of frugality and efficiency.

My Motorola Q is 320x240 landscape, Windows Mobile (Smartphone) 5.0.
