That might not work with social workers, but it does work for pissed off roommates. I'm not sure if they'll die or not, but they'll be stuck in that room. You could try burning them =]
Myst was just so popular because it was packaged with probably every gateway computer sold during that time. How many people went to the store and bought it, and how many people got it with a new computer?

I always thought it was a agreed that the best anti-spy/secure system would be one that is unplugged from everything and locked in a closet to which no one has the key? =]
Yeah, reminds me of "The Forest People", by Colin Turnbull. He took a pygmy out of the forest where he lived and up on this mountain, and the guy thought that everything he saw was miniature versions of what they really were. His eyes had never had to look at anything more than 15-20 feet in front of him in the forest, and he had no clue what things looked like when they were that far away.
This is NOT a civil rights issue. Since you are causing financial harm to receivers of your message, you are not protected by the first amendment.
SPAM is comparable to if I had to pay the postage on all the junk mail I received from the post office, BEFORE I get to see who it's from, what it is, or even if it is junk mail. When you send SPAM you are infringing on my rights a lot more than I am infringing on yours by trying to stop you. By the way, the state of Indiana just passed an anti-telemarketer law not too long ago, and I don't see it being declared unconstitutional by anyone. Maybe that could be seen as some sort of precedence?
I've had more devious snail mail than e-mail (like it comes in a security envelope labeled 'confidential' or 'time sensitive' or something like that.) Most SPAM is pretty obvious, since they always have those silly numbers at the end of the subject line, or other clues.
Also, how often do you get snail mail for pyramid schemes, porno, and other such rip offs? Most snail mail junk mail is from well known companies or local businesses. (Capitol One sends me a new credit card thing every week, grr). Anyway, I think I'm much more likely to find something of use in my snail mail box junk mail than in my e-mail. Afterall, you sometimes find a good deal/coupon among that mess. I don't know if I can say that for 99% of the spam I've received.
I still have 3.5" floppies of all the Police Quest series (1-4), a couple King's Quests, and a Space Quest here or there. Those games were great, and Space Quest always had that quirky humor in it. Actually they all did, that's what made them so fun.
Doing some research and rough estimating, WWII killed more like 50 million people (including civilians), I don't believe those numbers include all deaths related to the Atomic Bomb, since civilian deaths in Japan is only listed as 300,000.
I worked at a General Motors plant, and just-in-time inventory manufacturing means that the parts arrive at the plant within a few hours/minutes of being put on the truck, this is what they are referring to with JIT. It means that there is a minimilization of inventory present at any given time, thus greatly reducing costs and saving a lot of money. It's not anything that Dell pioneered.
All you need to get a NY Times login is an e-mail address. The rest is just demographics questions which you can lie in response to. So, go get a hotmail account with false information, and then fill out the form with false information, and you'll have a login. It's magical.
From what I read in the article, it sounds like they really only supply laptops for these companies.
The article also mentions some other interesting things, such as how Dell's success with notebooks depends on Quanta's efficiency in production.
I would like to point out that the article states that Dell popularized the concept of just-in-time manufacturing. Maybe in the realm of computers, but they've been doing that elsewhere (such as the auto industry) for many many years.
How does the first reference to something get modded as redundant? Hmm? Anyone care to explain this to me? Do moderators not view things in chronological order when the moderate or what?
Of course it is almost 12 hours, the first day of spring was less than a week ago! In 3 months we'll have the longest day of the year, and in 9 months from now, we'll have the shortest day of the year. Haven't you ever noticed the days get a lot longer/shorter depending on the seasons?
Just hit the stop before after the first one loads, I had no problem getting to the articles when I did this. (it did forward to the 'expired' page though, btw). If you want to see the content, I'll be glad to grab it and post it here somewhere.
/. editors don't have to give Daypop credit for the story, since skunkeh is the one who submitted the story, for all we know, he found it on his own.
Asking them to give credit to Daypop for this would be like asking a local TV station to give credit to another for a story on a car accident. Obviously it's something that exists independently of either TV station, or in this case, news reporting website.
To tell you the truth: I had to look it up to make sure of the spelling. At least I looked it up before using it! =] Maybe they really did mean a mountainous region on the moon? You never know.
Not theoretical, read here. here. and here. as well as many others. Just because there aren't currently widely deployed applications for things like these, doesn't mean that there won't be in the future. It makes sense to prepare for such situations now.
And just so I can be a troll, you need to capitalize 'Internet'.
I bet you are one of those people that goes out on the road when there's 3 feet of snow on it, when they specifically told you it was a level 99 snow alert or something, and that you can be ticketed for driving, or if your car gets stuck, you'll be towed and fined. Afterall, you getting to your buddies to play PS2 is a lot more important than an EMS getting somewhere, but they couldn't since you blocked the snowplow.
I think this has a similar aspect to it. Consider the case where the doctor was performing surgery over the Internet or something (I forget the specifics of that case.) But I sure hope to hell that in an emergency something like that would have priority over your pr0n. They have the same systems set up on all public transportation and communication mediums, why should the Internet be any different?
I'm sure that selling hotmail addresses is really a profitable business for MS. That must be how they can afford all those nice offices, eh? Did you every think that maybe people just pound away at hotmail's servers with dictionary files, and other techniques until they find e-mail addresses that work? It wouldn't be that hard to do.

Yes, and what you said is exactly what I meant.

Better yet, they never found the correct key due to a software bug, therefore, they have to fix it and start all over.

Not for one person, but for a million people, I could think of a lot of reasons for one.
Tera is a prefix meaning one trillion (10^12), in this case it refers to one trillion bits (not bytes).

Although really, this could be similar to the kinetic energy used to recharge the batteries of some laptops (via the keyboard).
