The amount of light pouring into their eyes is the same; they just have extra reception within the eye. I don't think theother cones would receive less light in the presence of these other recptors.
Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the subject can clarify this.
Agreed. The web simply provides the targets. The pretty and fuzzy features are out in the open, and the villians tend to hide in the shadows and others dangerous places that their targets dare not venture.
I think there should be some committee that decides what your TLD should be based on your content. I don't like having to worry about whether or not that site I'm trying to go to at work is porn or not, so that might help out.
As for ISPs blocking sites based on TLD, think of the current situation. If any ISP was not offering unrestricted net access, how many customers do you really think they would be able to keep? There are those who have no shame and will happily call an ISP to claim that they ISP is the reason that they can't get their porn, so after word gets out that they don't offer unrestricted access, they won't be sittin' too pretty.
You go and have your wimpy caffiene. I'll take the hard stuff please.
Only morons go around and make false generalizations about people like 'Only deadheads and jokes use that stuff'. And I am a loser (in yoru dictionary, that would read "I am a drug user") so I'm allowed to go around and make generalizations of my own.
You, my friend, are a moron. I bet if you were to get honest answers from your friends, neighbors, and co-workers, you would find staggaringly higher amounts of drug use than you would have ever imagined.
And since when are you the difinitive word on 'hackers'? You've surveryed them all and found that only the 'good' ones use drugs? How how do you determine their 'goodness'? That's entirely subjective, as is the determineation you have made about people and their drug use. Dick.
Pffft is exactly right. Go stick your head back in your ass.
Who knows, but if it could be adapted for other organs as well, and included in some sort of gene therapy regimen, perhaps complete invisibility isn't an impossibility. Course, it's probably going to be permanent that way.
Many people enjoy trouble free Road Runner from the get go. Everyone who has not had problems with either the installation or network troubles loves it to death.
Then there are those who love it when it works, but frequently experience outages that are not newtork troubles, but coaxial issues and signal level problems and the like. They usually bear it because they know once it comes back life will be good again.
Then there are those who have nothing but problems. Maybe they're at the very end of a cable run and need an amp/repeater or something, but no matter how many times service techs go out they just can't get it right. These are the ones who try to make Road Runner look really bad when they're (RR) doing what they can to resolve it.
Then there are those who believe that always-on means light-speed-instantaneous and just don't (want to) understand how it really works. The advertisements they use on the radio really don't help, and give the impression that EVERY connection and EVERY transfer is going to take place in a matter of seconds.
If you get it and it works, enjoy! If you have tremendous problems, don't automatically assume that TW/RR is being deceptive and neglecting you and lowering service quality and stealing your money and laughing at you all the while and purposely making your life hell because you want to run a business and you don't understand what 'entertainment purposes only' means and your service went out 4 times today at a whopping eight minutes a pop and that's just unacceptable in your opinion and you want it fixed now and not in three days like the tech support guy said and you're going to blow the whistle and post to newsgroups and tell ABC and NBC and CBS and BBB FBI and CIA and XYZ and whoever else you want to tell./me claims to not work for TW/RR...
It looks like this judge has got Napster and DeCSS confused. Does he actually believe that people are going to be able to view DVDs that they did not purchase simply by having this software? That it's magically going to create/locate/receive/assemble random bits of information on your computer into an actual movie that you can see and hear?
Let's say the first 30 seconds of audio are intact, and the rest of it is garbage. By previewing a random chunk of audio, you've got a better chance of locating the eggs.
But if enough people did that, it would become too much of a hassle to find the files that actually were metallica songs, so most people wouldn't bother. Thus, this would have the effect of making people stop pirating metallica songs
I remember something floating around the web a couple of years ago about Microsoft patenting ones and zeros. That made me laugh almost as much as this...
"Oh, and CD (re)writers facilitate all kinds of piracy. Let's get rid of those. While were at it, let's just get rid of the computers altogether. It's clear to see that too many people lose money because of computers."
"Napster facilitates copyright infringment, so let's shut 'em down. But the Internet facilitiates Napster as well as trademark infringment and patent infringment and many other things people don't like, so why don't we just shut the Internet down?"
But what better way to prevent the worst (well, not really) than to scare people into thinking that this will happen, giving them time to do somthing about it? Soon enough DoS will be no big deal when enough people have taken measures to prevent being affected.

"First, I'm an European."

A European with a pretty bad grasp of English grammar, too.
Ahhh, the ever popular I-don't-have-a-comeback-so-I'll-just-insult-your-
Those would be about as useless as .net.

Record companies make money from their artists.
Record companies also make money from people who rip off their arists.
The word 'artists' comes up in both of those sentences, so it's interesting that they aren't interested in the insterests of their artists.
'I've got no patience now' for this sort of thing...
Are you thinking ot Ethelyne Glycol?

That was humorous.

Someone missed the point.
In reference to your sig; no can do. I already boycotted boycotting.

I'm pretty sure that was the point.
Barring the possibity that they could get off-schedule. But that's never, ever happened before. Ever.
So, who won?
Anyone who uses .net to store pirated software is retarded and deserves whatever punushment is decided upon.
Before I'm called retarded, I'll point out that the MS/1/0 thing was just a joke...
I remember something floating around the web a couple of years ago about Microsoft patenting ones and zeros. That made me laugh almost as much as this...
Not to mention the inability to close an italic tag...
