C is supposed to be average, but if you look at most schools in the US you will see that the average grade tends to be a bit higher. If you look at a 4 point scale, a C is a 2.0, and I'm pretty sure there are more people above a 2.0 than below it. A steady 2.0 is barely enough to keep you in most universities!
Anyone else find it not the greatest looking thing around? I guess it doesn't matter if you shove it under a desk, but I"m not sure it's something I'd want on top of my desk or sitting out in the open. The SS50 at least looked decent, but they added too much flashy stuff to it, and it looks silly.
Ignorance is not a permissible defense anyway. Go ahead, try convincing the police officer you didn't know it was 45 on the road. Even if you turn onto the road after the sign and had no way of knowing if you had never driven on the road before, the law still applies.
Actually, I usually forget I post at 2. I wish there was an option in the settings to always post at 1, but there isn't, so I have to remember to check "No Score +1 Bonus" whenever I want to post lower. I would rather it be the other way. Always post at 1, and have to manually decide to post higher. I usually type, then tab,tab,tab,enter real quick.
It's so we all have time to go out and buy pretty hallmark cards that say "Happy ______ Day" and can fill in the blank and give it to them. (I can't imagine any 'Happy Admin Day' cards exist yet.)
Who cares either way? Your post was more pointless than mine, and this one is even more pointless. I used my +1 bonus because the person implied SourceSafe was a good alternative, when I think that pricetag makes it not an alternative at all for most people, especially those working on open source projects.
Besides, so many people post at +2 now, you almost have to hope to be heard above the noise. I browse at 3 most of the time, I'm sure many other people do too.
Odd how that site works =] I've got port 80 blocked right now, so nothing is going to come through for the moment. (I need to patch apache and a few things, easiest to block it at the firewall until I've done so)
You're liable for purchasing MS software, thus promoting them, and giving them money to produce said hole in their software. Your parents are liable for giving birth to you, but it wasn't their fault because the condom broke. Therefore, it is Trojan's fault, but it isn't their fault because it is Margaret Sanger's fault for promoting birth control. I can keep going if you like.
Many people are part of an organization but don't necessarily support all its causes. I live in the US, but that doesn't mean I support every action the government take overseas. I may be a member of the republican party (i'm not a member of any party), but that doesn't mean I'm 100% with them all the way.
The leaders of the parties just have to be careful who they piss off in the membership.
Which is why people need to inform them of issues that should matter to them. Why do candidates always talk about a few key issues when they're up for office? Because big media and many other people have spent a lot of time and money convincing them that those issues are what matters (Abortion, campaign finance, etc.). Then look at what is actually done about those issues once they get into office. Not much is done, because not much can be done, because they are so controversial.
The problem is that the minority of people who actually vote are uninformed and ignorant to the issues that really matter. Instead they will vote for someone based on their view on 1 subject or simply because of their party alignment.
The idea of recordable media -- vcrs, in particular -- is very deeply ingrained, and most people probably consider it their "right" to record their television.
I could see many big vcr / tape companies as well as Tivo and everyone else standing up against this bill. They stand to lose a lot of money otherwise. The MPAA needs to be more careful about whose shoes they step on, or they might end up stepping on someone with real big feet and steeled toe boots.
IIRC: They don't have to report interest and everything else to anyone. Thus, you don't have to pay taxes on your interest, and you don't have to report the money. They may also be insured higher, but I am not certain about that.
Yes, 2nd time today the summary so grossly misrepresented the article that people who browse headlines are probably really gonna look like asses. (The SPAM article being the other one, since it had nothing to with SPAM.) Aghh, I like slashdot too, maybe I'll just visit it but not read anything.
Although actually, I'd like to see a good study that shows how much time is lost to spam on the recipients end. I would say I spend maybe a total 2 minutes per day handling spam. (not much gets through spamassassin, but I still check every once in awhile to make sure nothing valid got flagged).
That is 2 minutes a day that I probably would have spent doing nothing else anyway.
So what about bandwidth, clock cycles, etc.? As far as I can tell spam has never slowed down my network connection or my pc significantly that it affected me in anyway. About the only place I see it causing problems is with the mail servers, but if you lock your server down well, you're not going to have many problems.
So, maybe it's 50/50 or even lower, especially when you look at it as to a total of what the spammer sends, vs. what the non-buyer spends.
The person sending still has their own equipment to deal with, and a nice fat pipe to be able to send all those messages. I would put the cost at about 70/30 with the recipient paying the larger amount.
Yeah, it doesn't say anything at all about anonymous e-mails to people soliciting goods and services. It's about writing a group of people you know asking for assistance with something, etc. Of course, I wonder if it would have the same effect if you simply used the BCC: line and wrote it so they thought they were the only person receiving. It isn't too difficult to send mail to a large group of people and make it appear that each person is the only receiving it. If they know other people got it, then yes, they're more than likely going to assume someone else will do it.

Everyone has a privacy policy; how many companies actually abide by them?

Or about the size of a spoon you would use at your dinner table. =]
It must be new, I checked quite awhile ago and it wasn't there.

Isn't Source-Safe expensive?
Looks to me like it misses by a few days. =]
It looked like the moon hit the north pole to me. Wouldn't that be fun? =]

Perhaps this might change your mind about the Penis Enlargement Companies.
