If they are specifically for an auction, then there isn't a problem.
However, the description of the auction does NOT say that they are specifically for the auction. It merely states that they are holding an online auction of items donated by past alums. This statement in and of itself is ambiguous and can be interpreted as "the items were donated to the school, and we've decided to auction them off" or "the items were donated to the school for the auction."
If I were a donor and gave something to an organization such as this, it would be because I thought the organization would benefit from whatever it was I was donating.
By selling these things off, they are basically telling the donors that while their intentions may have been good, they don't think their items were worth using.
I don't have first hand knowledge of the actual testing that was done because I just transferred here. However, I was told by one of my professors that the school just tried to implement a VoIP system, but the sound quality was terrible. In fact, they've already dropped it and gone back to the regular PBX / POTS system.
If you would read the article, it clearly states that they pushed their way through a police barricade. Presidential candidates are still US citizens just like everyone else, and as such, they are subject to the laws of the land.
What do you expect will happen if you push through a barricade? The police are going to welcome you in with open arms? This isn't a videogame where one gets an award for navigating a bunch of obstacles.
They knew exactly what they were doing and fully expected to get in trouble.
If these IP addresses being used exclusively to pump out spam, then if/when the list is released, black list them.
Report it to your ISP so they black list them on the mail servers. You would of course need to supply them the list via a 3rd party website site with a respectable reputation. (I.E. the researcher's site) Any ISP worth its salt isn't going to black list a bunch of IPs just because John Q. User says they should.
My father and I use GPS receivers as often as possible. We are both Geocachers.
For those of you that don't know what Geocaching is, here is a quote from the geocaching.com FAQ:
"What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache. "
It's possible. But a vast majority of the populace doesn't read law reviews or Slashdot. And many people I know don't look for printer refills until they need them. So they would already have a Lexmark printer when the time came to go cartridge shopping. They are just out of luck at that point because it will be cheaper to buy a proprietary cartridge then to buy another printer.
I quick search on http://www.cliffsnotes.com/ will show you that there are no cliff's notes for TTT.
They do however, have notes for The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit.
I wasn't asked if I wanted a self install kit, so a tech came out. I was watching over his shoulder the entire time. The only things he did were reconfigure outlook, and change my home page to rr.com.
I asked him about the home page switch and all he said was that it was policy and I that I could change later.

Of course they got arrested.

Instead of being able to search through just gossip, I would be more interested in being able to filter out all the gossip.

With the screen having such an odd resolution, will Quake III still work?
