Sounds like it wasn't doing IP Addresses or hostnames , but addresses found in text on pages. Using enough rules, and a funky algorithm, you could probably get pretty accurate for a number of pages, enough to produce good results on searches at least.
Yes, the argument is that this isn't clear to the consumer. Especially when it is labelled 'economy' or 'refill' which implies something very different. They should be clearly labelled as 'Small' and 'Large' or something along those lines. I guess people should just be as careful with print cartridges as they are with food and actually read the labels. Or maybe they should have a price per ml listing like they do with most food items.
Apparently the other replies to this didn't understand what he was saying, and instead posting comments calling the parent a dumbass.
He is pointing out that they sell 2 different products, using the same packaging, but one of them is only filled half way. It'd be like selling half gallons of milk in gallon containers, but only filling them halfway, and then selling 'large size' milk jugs, which are the same as the other ones, but full.
So it looks like you are paying $19 for 18 ml of additional ink, in the same cartridge.
Myself, and several of my friends (in different parts of the US) all received a free Mach3 razor right around our 18th birthdays (3 years ago now). Anyone else have the same experience? I figured Selective Service gave them my name, who knows.
I'm with Time Warner Road Runner Cable Internet service, and I think the way they do it is pretty fair. The service is $45 or so a month, which includes rental of the cable modem. If you choose to use your own, obviously they aren't going to support it, and you don't get a special discount or anything. Perfectly legal. Sort of like when you go to McDonald's and ask for a no mayo. They don't refund you the money for the mayo.
I don't understand why they would need to charge extra for someone not using a cable modem. They are saving them money, since that cable modem can used by someone else. Support? They don't have to support the cable modem/router itself, only the cable line in this case. Sort of like when you have to pay extra to NOT be in the phone book.
Cardiac arrest kills people. You can be brain dead and still alive. I believe that doctors are no longer allowed to list cardiac arrest as cause of death, since in the end, that's the cause of everyone's death. (Death = heart no longer functioning) The end result of all other causes of death is that your heart stops.
a "little FEDERAL LAW" that applies to Cable TV. That'd be like applying telephone laws to Internet access. Then I can't even record incoming traffic without permission. I can't record conversations, etc. I don't think this law applies to Internet access provided over the same medium. Next thing you know, you can't swear over wireless access, since there are FCC laws about that.
Yep, and major news outlets do it all the time. They bring in other details and facts, which by themselves are facts and probably meaningless, but when connected to a specific story they can help the reader/listener draw some conclusions.
A simple example of this was a map on the front page of my newspaper the other day. It showed Chandra Levy's Apartment, her gym she worked out at where she was last scene, where the found her body, and last, that senator's apartment was labelled too. By itself it's not a very interesting piece of news, but it is suggestive to the idea that he was involved somehow in the incident.
It happens all the time, some people just don't realize it is being done.
I always wondered what would happen if a politican accepted all that money from people and then just turned around and did what they wanted to. It's not like they have a binding contract to make something a law because someone gave them money. Might not be able to get funds the second time around, but it's still worth a try.
Good point, but your math is flawed. If 2 million people buy my product at $8 that's 16 million, which is more than 10 million. I doubt sales would double, but yes, many people are willing to pay $15-20 for a music cd. Same thing with gas prices, we are willing to pay whatever it takes to drive our car, even if it means we're being screwed. Why? Because we see being able to drive our car at all more important than the fact that we're being totally screwed by major corporations. Selfishness is the problem here.
I get a lot more repeat enjoyment out of a video game than a music cd. How many people listen to the same music cd for 8 hours a day for a whole month?
Hmm, actually I recall seeing something on the History Channel about some special forces that were needed for WWII, and they needed people who had no prior military training because they needed to be able to act on their own and what not. I wish I could remember more details, but basically they did not want anyone who had gone through the regular military training, as that would be a weakness for what they were going to be doing.
Yes, I am replying to a troll, but I feel the need to.
I only hope this comment was done in sarcasm, but this elitist attitude I so often see from people who served in the military that bothers me. You tell me that I don't understand the meaning of the military or service, yet every day I drive by dozens of memorials to those who have died in the past, and am reminded of their sacrifice. I am thankful that there were people like them to protect our nation.
Then I drive by lots of real tall buildings, and I am reminding of the what they were fighting to protect. Which is more important, the fight, or that which is being protected? I am grateful forpeople serve our military; my grandfather was in Korea, and my father served during the Vietnam Era.
Still, that which is protected bears greater significance than the protectors. Our freedoms, liberties, our constitution, all are much more important than the soldier that died in an attempt to preserve them.
The fight to preserve our liberties is no longer being fought on foreign battlefields, but in our legal system. I think we had a better chance when it had to do with who lasted the longest out there than we do putting faith in judges, juries, and politicians.
But please, do not ever tell me I don't understand the military, or have no right to make light of it. If it really was protecting my rights, then I can say anything I want to about them, now can't I? =]
The great thing about source code is that compiling is hella lot easier than mixing ingredients and baking/frying/whatever. Sometimes you can even get pre-compiled binaries. Let me see a cookbook do that =]
I'm pretty sure there was some kinda meta-clause in there. Most places have those. 'We're not responsible for jack crap so stop bugging us.' kind of clause. I wonder how valid some of those are =]
I used to work at a medium-sized ISP. We ran John the Ripper on our password file once and it found about 60-70% of them in a week. This is an interesting situation, since to some people, they probably don't realize that if someone has that password, they can most likely read their e-mail (could be diff. password), and many people use the same password for everything, so you could access bank statements, credit card info, etc, pretty easily.
The ISP obviously can't be held liable if someone guess this person's password, but do places like that, where you are serving large amounts of customers instead of your own employees, should a password policy be put in place? Imagine if AOL had a password policy =]
Did you ever play with Action Figures or GI-JOE? Those were all dolls. Just given different names because boys didn't want to play with dolls. The original GI-JOEs were about the size of what you might consider a doll. I am going to go play with my (fake) stuffed animals now, thank you.
Yeah, either I'm just more sensitive to all the getting jarred around, or rides really start to suck with age. If you've ridden The Magnum lately (the original real tall one there), it feels like it's going to come apart going over those hills. I wonder if the new one will age even faster with how fast it goes and all the forces at work on the track, etc.
Isn't that how it always works? Back home for me more of the railroad crossing are lucky enough to have stop signs if anything at all. As soon as someone is killed at a crossing, they put up a gate, maybe. Even though many of them are obviously very dangerous, it takes loss of life for action. It's sad, but it is probably a lot easier to get something done after a terrible event than before.

If my submission won, I would apply for a job =]
IIRC they also mentioned something about the potential offer of employment, then again, maybe I was just imagining that.

Hmm, a lot of telephone equipment does analog-to-digital and vice-versa conversions. Looks like the baby bells are all in big trouble now! Hahaha.

You can set up a system to ignore anything beyond 8 chars when comparing passwords, silly practice if you ask me.
/. and penisbird would have been more appropriate. I'm waiting for poor lil lab1 to come back up so I can try natalie portman and hot grits myself.
