We don't need 64-bit computers, every few years they come out and double the damn bits, and every year without a doubt computers get harder and harder to use. Sure, I have a CS degree but how will I ever figure out 64-bit Windows when I can't even understand 32-bit Windows. I say we go back to 16-bit, Windows 3.1 was the pinnacle of the series.
Every other day lift pieces of metal (sometimes called weights) with your biceps, triceps, shoulders, neck, etc., keep increasing the number of repetitions until it becomes incredibly easy then increase the weights and do it again!
Note that this game is my invention and I do charge a royalty to use it.
The secret part of the FTC's request seems odd to me, don't they already operate in somewhat secrecy? I can only assume they don't go around telling people who they are investigating that they are being investigated up until the point when they can serve search warrants and subpoenas.
They act as if they would be doing everybody a favor by building broadband but if they decide to keep with their core business of local and long distance service they are gonna get wrecked by the cable and cell phone companies (at least some of the Bells are smart and are cell companies as well). I don't have or need a phone line or long distance service because of my cell and I have cable for internet, they are gonna get left behind if they don't invest in new areas.
I do get frustrated at the lack of performance from Apples though. I work for a research center that does intensive image manipulation and video editing and is entirely Mac. I'm sure about 5 years ago this made a lot of sense with the general weakness of Windows and networking at the time for PCs but I am continually frustrated that when a new Mac comes in for $2,000 it is slower than my $1000 PC that I built a year ago for my home use, even in Photoshop which is certainly one of the Macs most core applications. Ease of use isn't really an issue for me, any Mac or Win9X GUI or later is pretty damn easy to use.
Honestly though, I'd probably get more work done on a slower machine with no internet access heh....
I've just asked few mom-age people about WordPerfect and got the typical answer: "Back in DOS I've been enjoying in WordPerfect. Despite non-WYSIWYG (or quasi-WYSIWIG) UI, the usability logic was more intuitive and more goal-oriented then even modern MS Word. If it would be a chance to choose I'd certainly get WordPerfect. Just keep me two sync windows: one with pre-view and the other with pseudo markup code - I want to control and understand my work."
I don't know if that would be the "typical answer" that a "mom-aged" person would give. I would think it'd be more like "I use Word, it works alright."
True, you won't be depriving anyone else of cable by stealing it but you will deprive the cable company of the money their service is worth. Goods are not worth the sum of their raw materials, they are worth what the market is willing to pay them. If you steal cable then you are taking $X/month out of the cable company's revenue. Just because it costs the company nothing if you were to say split your neighbors cable and use it for yourself as well does not mean it's not theft.
Sounds like you need to upgrade to one of those new 56kbps modems, they may be a little expensive but 28.8kbps modems are no longer the standard for most users.
In regard to the Coke question... packaging and distributing the Coke is much more difficult than transporting the gas in a giant tanker or pipeline and than transferring it into a large truck where it can just be put into the gas station tanks with a hose. The Coke has to be bottled, loaded onto a truck, and then unloaded and you only buy 12-16oz at a time so you're not getting a bulk rate.
What makes it a killer is that it's a fraction of the price. I realize most people here probably paid about $0 for their copy of Office XP but some people actually buy it (shocking, I know).
They make money from paid ads but they have them in a clearly marked section away from the non-paid listings. Also they make a good amount of money setting up their search engine on corporate intranets or for searches within a particular website.
I've had a few professors that required that every line of code be documented, making the comments useless unless you want to wade through pages of obvious comments to get to comments that are actually useful.
If you read the books carefully you'd remember that Saruman hails from the Shire and is in fact the father of all hobbit kind because of a cloning experiment gone awry.
Yes, the CIA has virtually no domestic jurisditiction, that is the NSA's job. The FBI is less specialized, it's a huge agency and does a little of everything...

Just grow up and accept the fact that the government and large corporations know what's best for you.

Having a job at McDonald's doesn't require you to have a car there are other methods of transportation such as walking or riding your horse.

You need to get your shift key under control.

So essentially they send the keys to the unbreakable cipher using a breakable cipher, sounds completely secure to me.

It's all true, send me $5 and I'll give you the site and password.
I assume Microsoft will be releasing the source code and freely distributing Farsite so I support this project.
Vampire: TM - Redemption was written entirely in Java and it was a pretty decent game.

So Yucca Mountain is in the UK now?
It's not really Microsoft's fault, if this guy would've stayed quiet then WinXP would still be secure today.

No...
Well, it might be because Microsoft owns the site and Microsoft created Passport but there may have been bribes involved...
