Regardless of what a user does with it after downloading, AdBlock is indeed a good solution for blocking an ad that is giving you trouble with your computer (or that you find offensive, or whatever). It's an absolutely effective tool for the problem that was originally brought up. A car can be used for drive-by shootings and police chases, but that doesn't mean you have to use it for that.
The FCC enforces on a case-by-case basis. Unless someone has turned this situation (this SPECIFIC apartment being this close to a transmitting antenna) to the FCC, then chances are that they have no idea the situation even exists.
As for my $0.02, you don't want to spend any more time than you have to being 20 feet from a transmitting antenna, LET ALONE living next to one.
I would not hire someone with an AOL e-mail address unless it was a job stuffing pillows or working on a production line doing a simple, repetitive job. AOL (in my opinion) was always marketed as "our internet access is so easy, even a caveman can do it". Commercials showed people in their 30's saying "look, now even my elderly parents who can barely figure out how to use a computer can use AOL".
Exactly. Nothing NECESSARY to the game costs actual money. Even the tractors themselves are just an option to make things easier, but I did buy one, and I did use coins. Heck, you can get 30,000 in coins in a day if you try hard enough.
If this is simply Chase giving money - their own money - to a charity, they can legally give it to whoever they want. It might be different if this was a lottery and the organizations had money invested, but they don't. This is just a popularity contest. If you're a finalist on American Idol, you're in the top 3, and they decide to boot you off the show because they find out you used to use pot, then you're shit out of luck, you know? If Chase decided "screw it, we're not giving money to anyone", they have a right to do that.
After knowing how the Columbia record club has operated for the last 50 years, I don't know why this "scam" isn't obvious. I knew the first time I saw one of his commercials that you were going to keep receiving these discs. WHY? Simple common sense. ANY place that offers a variety of products that they advertise in one commercial is going to try to get you to buy them on a monthly basis. Like I said, it's just common sense... something that more and more people seem to be lacking these days.
The real solution is for the button to contact child protective services, and when the child presses the button, they ask where the parents are, and how often the child is left alone at the computer.

The fact that non of those things were done, or they didn't work suggest to me that it was indeed the floor mats trapping the pedal when they floored it to test acceleration.
But still, full brakes will at least slow down a car under full acceleration.
Who floors a car to test acceleration in any area other than an open road where there is no obstacles in front of them? You don't "floor it" somewhere that you might have to stop immediately.
Steve Balmer (whom I thought we were talking about) had sex three times with Bill Gates' wife, and has three kids with her? I'm surprised he still works for the company!
THAT is exactly the point, IMO. We're at the threshold of not only being able do download pirated software, but ALSO being able to download the hardware to run it on.
There's nothing dumb about it. Multiple raindrops make up a regular cloud, multiple computers make up a computing cloud. Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
AFAIK, it's totally legal in the United States for someone to go through your trash. Once you set it out on the curb/in the dumpster, there's nothing you can do about it, other than get someone for trespassing if it happens to be in your yard. The act of going through the trash is not a crime in itself.

There's no problem with Comcast at all, as long as your internet activities don't reach beyond e-mail and browsing a few web pages every day.
I don't think Hawking is suggesting we hide under the bed, I just think he's saying we should stop jumping up and down and shouting "HERE WE ARE!".

I was under the impression that this book was mandatory reading for all U.S. politicians.
HOW does a man and his family sell ANYTHING to the Navy? Is the Navy getting their parts from eBay or Craig's List?

Here's proof of concept from 3 years ago, though: http://news.techworld.com/security/5392/worlds-first-os-x-virus-hits-apple/
such passwords are OK for low-priority stuff but not, if say, the NSA is after you ;-)
If the NSA is after you, I would think the strength of your passwords is the least of your worries.

Exactly! I'd call removing iTunes and Google Toolbar a feature, not a bug.

If you want to write a pretentious article, AT LEAST use correct spelling and grammar if nothing else.

I can already tell you the Paul McCartney version will be the most popular.
You boys need some REAL nerdcore: MC Hawking! http://www.mchawking.com/mp3s/
Is he also one of the enlightened who do not use a cell phone because they cause cancer?
