eBay is not an auction, it does not use methods used at a real auction. I will guess that most people here are familiar with the phrase "going once, going twice, sold to the...."
eBay is a swoop and grab. It's the only way to "win". You stake out your desired item and hold off on bidding till the last possible seconds and hope your bid gets applied and is the highest.
I'm sure that if this is enforced on anyone it will be decided VERY quickly that eBay, like uBid, where the "auctions" are timed, are not really auctions and therefore not covered by this law.
Just because something is being used for a long(ish) period of time does not mean that it is safe. People have been getting cancer a greater rate over the last century than ever before. While it can be hard to point to the cause of the cancer in some cases, you can't blindly say "people have been talking on land-line phones for the last 100 years, so they must be safe".
It may seem that there are only two candidates in the USA system, but there are really a lot more. The *problem* is that the two candidates that everybody knows about, in this case Bush and Kerry, are from the two largest and most popular parties. Many, many Americans view their vote to be a wasted vote if the don't vote for either a Republican or Democrat candidate.
I would guess the problem of popularity in the past for these two parties established them in everybody's minds and pocketbooks. I think it'd be great if there was a spending limit imposed on all candidates for advertising. Herein lies another problem, you have groups like "Friends of George Bush", which will buy advertising, which wouldn't could against that dollar amount. Another would be to supply each candidate with a certain amount of money for advertising or campaign use and tell them they can use that money for advertising and no more.
It's broken, it needs to be fixed, but I'm not sure how it should be fixed, because most of the "brokeness" is in the minds of us Americans...
And with its full 35mm CMOS it is the first camera to effectively reproduce the image quality of 35mm film.
Nope, maybe the first to have a 35mm sensor. But, there have been a number of cameras out with medium format sensors for quote a while now. Even at 6mp, a medium format sensor will outperform a smaller sensor with a higher pixel count because there will be MUCH less bleeding of light across pixels.
Check out the products from Creo such as the Aptus or the much larger MP Valeo family.
If you're speaking from experience, then I'd say you got the wrong wife. If you weren't best friends when you got married, then I ask... "Why the hell did you get married".
If you're not speaking from experience, then I'd say don't speak, as you have no knowledge.
Saturn would never have to advertise themselves as "Ford-Compatible". All they would have to do is advertise themselves as being an "automobile". And, there's no agency which would tell Saturn "You can't call that thing an automobile/car, unless you get us to validate your thing as meeting our requirements for being called an automobile/car." Sure there are gov't agencies which can determine that a "thing" isn't allowed on the roads, but the manufacturer can still call it an automobile/car.
Actually, advertising the Saturn as "Ford Compatible" would probably hurt their sales.;)

You might want to think twice about painting hikers with such a broad brush. Maybe I'll get a similar idea, and start believing that all climbers are pompous pricks.
Sorry, I must just be bitter because of all of the climbing areas that have been closed to climbers because of stupid things which "hikers" and campers have done, yet the "hikers" and campers are still allowed to hike and camp there.
Examples:
Tower Rock in Kentucky's Red River Gorge was closed to climbers for well over a decade because a "hiker"/camper started a fire on the top of the cliff (hike to-able via the backside), the fire raged out of control and the result was a ban on climbing but you could still hike to and camp at the top.
I've *never* seen a climber sit at the top (or bottom) of a cliff and throw bottles. I've seen many a "hiker" chucking bottles off the top of a cliff or throwing bottles at the base of a cliff. I've also been at the bottom of a cliff and had a bottle go whizzing past my head, this was done by a group of hikers whom I later ran into on the trail. Their only response was "Sorry dude, we wouldn't have thrown if we knew how close we were to you."
I know there are serious hikers out there, which are there to see the wildlife sights. Unfortunately it's the (so called) "hikers" which are noticed much more.
You are correct about your "stupid people" comment. I have met a good number of climbers which don't pay decent attention to safety. It's just careless thinking (or lack of thinking). I think we need to stop coddling our children and everybody else. Rather than protecting everyone from everything, people should be taught the dangers of living. And learn that safety can protect them from the danger. Basically, "There are dangers, don't pursue this endeavor unless you're familiar with the risks." They'll never learn this if they're corraled like cattle.
I've seen other postings about having people take emergency radio beacons. Sounds like a great idea if the people are willing to do it. It could be promoted as a bonus service (for fee) if it had a GPS, then the person could get a map of their trek for display purposes.
I always see signs stating "Leave No Trace" when I go hiking, camping and climbing.
Yet, when I go hiking, on hiking trails I see trace all over the place. I see signs saying "turn this way", or "lookee here", or blazes nailed to trees. All of these are put there by the forest service, the park service or the national/state/local group that manages the area. To me, this is "Trace".
Yet, when I go climbing, all of the groups listed above say "put no bolts in the rock". Their reason is that it detracts from the beautiful scenery which everyone is coming to enjoy. Half the time when I'm out climbing, I have to look hard and long before I can see the bolts on a climb and I can find them only because I'm looking. Most of the places I climb, hikers don't go. The only reason to go there is to climb the rock.
I'd say all of the "services" listed above should practice what they preach and say "hiking/climbing/camping can be inherently dangerous. If you get lost or injured while here, you assume all costs incured in the event that you require rescue." Then, take down all of the blazes, posts, signs, direction arrows, etc.
If they can't practice what they preach, then start treating climbers no different than the brainless hikers.
My final vote is: No counters. Keep technology away from my blessed, natural, nature excursions.
The graphs wouldn't have looked so bad if they'd have kept the orientation and order in the graphs the same from one graph to the next.
In some xfs is on the top, others it's on the bottom. Thankfully in the l2r graphs XFS is always on the right and ext2 on the left. Also, they seem to abitrarily switch between 2d and 3d graphs. Plus the switch between bar and line graphs.
I'd start my focus not with the tools but with the ways in which the tools are used.
Kodak "decided to stop making" the Instamatic film in the late 80s because of a little lawsuit problem with Polaroid. If Kodak continued to produce the Instamatic film they'd have had to pay out the nose to Polaroid, which was not something they wanted to do. Instead they offered to buy back the Instamatics or trade them for other Kodak models.
I am surprised that this got accepted as a Slashdot article. Reinstalls the computer every month? Why? I mean if your computer gets so effed after a month of use, you REALLY need to re-evaluate the OS you're using or the way you're using the OS.
I would have more expected this to be a slashdot poll and not a full-fledged article. Must be a slow "news" day.
The one I got for my dog was subdermal, roughly between the shoulder blades. It couldn't be used to track the little guy, but if he ever went lost and showed up at a veterinarian or an animal shelter, they're supposed to scan each animal that comes in and verify or find ownership in the database. It would have never helped us get him back if someone took him and then never took him to a vet.
Sorry, I guess I missed it as being humor when the "humor" was based on half of what he said being innacurate. It would have been funny if Mitnick was truly still not allowed to use a computer. Now it just sounds like he's been sleeping for a year.
You're a little out of date. Mitnick has been able to touch "real computers" for at least a year now. Your trolling inaccuracy limits my willingness to look around for the exact date.
I set my iPod on Alphabetic, by song name. That way I can listen to a sort of random list of songs but when my iPod turns off I don't have to worry about hearing the same song again for a while. I started with the "A"s (0-9 really) in July and finished the "Z"s in December.
It forced me to listen to every song without having to say "Geez, I'm getting sick of this band".
On the downside, all of your re-mixes will be in one bulk group. So, for a disc like "Front 242: Headhunter 2000" you'll have to listen to 20 mixes of Headhunter in a row. That was cured by renaming the entries "a - Headhunter, b - Headhunter, etc." Not easily found by song, but quite easy by artist.
An easy bake oven for cooking hamsters in a PC drive bay.
Teacher: What's the difference between a hamster and a gerbil?
Bobcat: Ummmm, there's more dark meat on a hamster?
Bobcat: What?!?! You can eat 'em. You just can't use the radar range. You need a crock pot!
I Doubt they used DRDOS for scoring. They probably used DRDOS as the OS on which the buggy scoring software ran. The 'misthrown' bowling ball crashed the buggy software, not DRDOS.
Total assets would include money you have in the bank. Apple isn't renting everything in their possession, so of the two numbers, total assets should be higher than the "in the bank" number.

Have there been any similar studies on effects of the electromagnetic radiation from regular landline phones?
