Even better is having the whole paper on the screen without getting ink on your fingers. College Newsify has a really cool viewer for viewing full-page newspapers. Best of all, college students can read all of the newspapers for free.
Indeed - years ago I overclocked my TI-86. After about 6 months I got really sick of buying new batteries and having the calc die when I needed it, so bought an 89 and sold the overclocked 86 to a friend for a pretty good price (although I think he regretted it later).
If you are going to overclock your calculator, make sure you've got some rechargable batteries and always have extras on hand.
lighttpd is a pretty good up-and-coming alternative I've been testing lately. It's faster than apache for both static and dynamic (php, python, ruby) content.
I wouldn't doubt that that was all they were looking to get out of it. The site, makelovenotspam.com was hosted and created by a marketing company. Now why would an internet company with an entire staff of HTML, graphics,... gurus and certainly their own server farm outsource to a marketing company? I submit that they needed some publicity and their marketing company came up with a creative way to get some.

Yep - you are going to be arrested within an hour of visiting the site because of the Patriot Act and then you will be sent to Cuba within a day and held as an enemy combatant.
Here's a fun trick: Go to your friend's house and ask if you can check your email quick from their computer and visit the site. Sit across the street and laugh as unmarked vans take your friend away.

Hrm...I might have to track this guy down and sell him my outdated Dell laptop. I guess all I have to do is put a race car startup sound and he'll pay anything!
Wow - two more bugs that have been overdue for over 3 months. That's really nice to know that there are 300 million computers with gaping holes just waiting to be found...
There will be another backlash although obviously to a lesser extent. The biggest backlash will come from admins who will once again blacklist the corresponding Site Finder IP.
The fun will start when Verisign starts not liking large ISPs blocking their users from accessing Site Finder and initiate a cat-and-mouse game of having Site Finder resolve to a ton of different changing IPs that the admins will have to keep up with.
Ahhhh...so this worm was released by the Polish government so that they could punish people if they decided they wanted more information about America!
That is exactly what Lucasarts wants to do. They got more publicity from "Jar Jar sucks" web sites and news reports than just about anything else. Heck, there are a lot of people who would go see it just so that they can complain about him.
so whats the alteranative to the millions of users out there who arent geniuses or who are stuck with the product
1. Call up Microsoft and tell them that they want their default installs to be more restrictive.
2. Install one of tons of programs that will stop ads from popping up. It isn't that hard to install most of these little programs.
3. Use something else. It doesn't take that much to go install Netscape or others.
This isn't a "Microsoft bash" - if there are things popping up all over the place and your homepage keeps changing, don't write your congressperson trying to make certain use of javascript illegal - write Microsoft asking them why they allow these javascript "features" in default installations of their browsers.
...the settings on my computer ought to enjoy legal protection as private property: Changing them without my permission (such as adjusting my home page, or whatnot) should constitute assault or trespass"
It's your fault for letting the web sites change your home page and popping up windows. Since the default installation of IE set by Microsoft apparently lets this happen, you have to set your settings higher if you don't want these things from happening.

Microsoft doesn't have to contend with AOL-TW. Either of them would be stupid to get into a fight with the other. They are both sitting pretty and it is not like there is a large overlap in the products they offer which would cause a big fight. If anything, AOL-TW has to contend with Microsoft. If Microsoft "accidentally" slips a "bug" into XP that prevents AOL from installing correctly, then there goes a huge chunk of business going to AOL. AOL-TW doesn't have to power to do something like that to harm Microsoft. Granted, the DOJ is breathing down Microsoft's back, but its not like that has stopped Microsoft before, during, or after the anti-trust trial.
Mundie: We are concerned about the potential implications of the GPL for use
in disseminating the results of academic or government-funded
research. The GPL in this context effectively erects a wall that
prevents the public and private sectors from working together. By
restricting severely the rights of anyone who incorporates GPL code
into their own software program, the GPL makes it impossible for
commercial software companies to build on the types of academic works
that have been put in the public domain and have helped fuel
innovation the last half-century.
In other words, Microsoft is mad because it wants to "build" upon free software. Of course, once they build upon it, they will have to use their huge marketing force to crush anyone else who might want to use the same free software to create their own program in the name of "innovation".
Or am I reading this wrong - was the honeypot protected with a cheapo (read "consumer") firewall product (like a DLink or Linksys router/firewall)?
It didn't say, but I doubt it...even the really cheap firewall/routers block all incoming traffic by default. Blocking everything would pretty much defeat the purpose of having a honeynet (to learn from getting cracked).

Would you really want your parents reading all of your email? I wouldn't...
If they want their correspondance with him, then they should have saved their copies of his emails!

I can see the headline now:

Suprnova had torrents of all of the debates a day or two after (although those are the only political torrents I've seen).
Acer probably just anticipated bad press to begin with and brought them in to start spinning things right away.
Every manager's worst nightmare: stupid employees wasting time by turning their laptops on and off so that they can hear the startup sound.

Play single player against bots that you can select difficulty. You can keep bumping up the difficulty until you are good enough to play online.

There would be a whole lot more people going to Linux if there weren't tons of pirated copies of $90 OSes on the internet free for download.
It is good to know that at least the UK is keeping track of American politics. Apparently our own press is too tired of doing it.
