This is silly. First of all, what kind of people without some other serious disability CAN'T type? I mean, you don't see a lot of people that are otherwise perfectly healthy who just can't figure ASDF JKL; out. Maybe typing 120 WPM makes me biased, I don't know.
Administration and technical NIGHTMARE. Have you dealt with tech support with most companies these days? The average monkey doesnt know what a port IS.
But considering the average level of intelligence of our customers is close to NIL, I really think we should. We get a lot of emails, and calls from people who have detected attacks from our Customers, and we call the customers, and they are just like, "Wha?"
Its great. So instead we just let the network FLOOD. But good thing we aren't blocking port 80, that would SCREW over like what,.1% of our cusomters?
Your memory != something that is copyrighted. You have basically paraphrased the work, which IS legal. Even someone with a supposedly Photographic memory still isn't copying the particular exact layout of the original text.
Instead of Pay-Per-View, you get to read the book for as pecific period of time. You didn't purchase the content, you purchased permission to view it for a certain period of time. Just because you rented it, doesn't mean you can KEEP it. People bypassing this and basically being dishonest will keep a semi-cool idea like this from really taking off because the publishers and authors, who have bills to pay, can't get the money they should be.
Abortion, The Death Penalty, Legalization of Marijuana, Whether a Software company can integrate a web browser and an OS. Which os these sounds LEAST important? Why waste the Supreme Courts time with such MULE-SHIT. Oh well, money talks, bullshit walks.
The level of multi-tasking. Sure, context switches cost, but if one thing you are doing is an insanrely LIGHT load on the CPU (Phone Technical Support for Consumers) and the other is a rather HIGH load on the CPU in comparison (reading a new Dave Barry book) then really some productivity is gained. Who can't spit out the name of your ISPs mail server while some dolt fills on the Email wizard in Outlook Express while they do something else? Its easy. Now, if the work I was doing actually required thought, then I wouldn't get so much reading done.
A cancerous tumor continues to live. Umm, ok. I wouldn't exactly call that a human being, or really even a human cell. Its something that is the result of an abberation in human anotomy thats sole purpose is to grow to the point where it kills its host. But apparently, the caner doesn't really care, as it can live on! Well shit, no I need to be turned into some sort of cancer, of course if you ask anyone who knows me, I already am.:)
In TNG terms anyway. They were commonly referred to on the set as "hall-passes" as extras would often be picking at one as they crossed in the background of a shot.
While PADDa (and PDAs) are cool, what I really want is a fucking Tri-Corder. Not only did those things have amazing sensory capabilities, but great battery life too.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. Its an arms race, with each side consistently and constantly upping the ante. We really need to send the spammers a message that we DO still care.
One thing bothers me though, as I was clearing out a large 'stuck' email for one of our dial-up customers the other day, I happened to casually mention "Wow, you sure do get alot of spam!" to which they replied "Whats that?" "You know, junk email" "Junk e-mail? I read it all"
People like that are why our boxes receive such garbage. You fire enough bullets and SOMEone is going to die.
In the current market-place this really doesn't stand a chance next to the awesome financial giant that is www.voyeurdorm.com I mean, seriously, why are they even TRYING to compete?
I plan on somehow making this my desktop background at work, and watching it as much as I can.
When my powersupply went out last week. I gathered all my coworkers around, said a eulogy, the whole nine yards. I then slowly lowered its box into an RMA box to send it back to the vender. I even got the UPS man to play along as a pall-bearer. I took a bunch of pictures on my nikon, I'll have a site up soon
All the child pornographers and child-molestors will know exactly where they can pick up new victims! This is just silly..com will STILL be the ultimate TLD, while all the other ones will just be "also-rans"
Of security through obscurity. This is just security through being a total PAIN IN THE ASS. Attackers will have to resort to a brute force method, some sort of hand-truck perhaps?

Anyone know?

Seriously, this thing looks sweet. Bigger, better, faster, science moves on!
Sounds like people to me. Well, other than the accidnetly part, we were "released" quite intentionally.

Incidental Programming Outage.
All I know is, my portfolio is singing some crazy tunes ;)

No wonder we are flooded with calls today. FUCK!
