When a particular instance has been reported a certain number of times have a real person check the link to determine if a violation has occurred and then take appropriate action. I think this is a great idea. Where do I apply for this job? Surfing YouTube all day in the comfort of my own home vs sitting in my cramped cubical sounds great! But DVD/CD awards points won't work for me. I've got a mortgage to pay.
Mind if I borrow your flame-proof suit for a second?
I agree with you, if everyone ran Linux they would log in a root so they didn't have to type their password every time they wanted to install smileys. Most casual users (not the/. crowd) want their computers and software to be easy to use, fast, and to look pretty security is somewhere on the back burner.
If a box asks them if they want to cancel or allow an action they are more than likely going to click allow so they can get to their smileys because afterall that is why they downloaded them in the first place.
How about launching a couple of those CO2 collecting umbrellas over DC and everyone else babbling about global warming. That will collect enough hot air to save us all.
...And if you log into gtalk, it (optionally) records your conversation... I believe this option is set to record your conversations to gmail by default. The user must go in and opt not to have them recorded.
We must be from the same region; I thought the exact same thing when I read this story.
I'm not a climatologist so maybe someone here can help... Is there a way to explain extreme cold spells generated by global warming? (I'm not trying to be an ass, I really want to know.)
Its true, we had a mild beginning of winter, but it is hard for me to swallow the idea of global warming when I need to put on multiple layers of protective clothing to avoid instant frostbite just walking to the mailbox.
If I could be so brazen to improve on your fantasy...
I'll donate you my 24" widescreen display from my cold and dark server room fantasy. If you have hundreds of servers at your disposal you are going to need a larger screen for all of those ssh sessions.
People like this are the reason they need to put warning stickers on curling irons that say "Do not insert into any orifice." I could go on and on about the different warning stickers that sound crazy but are an absolute necessity due to people like this. People would rather sue than to take responsibility for their actions, the huge amount of money does not hurt either.
My citation is perfectly relevant, if you would read my post a little closer you would notice that I said "another individual's computer" not an ISP.
I was making the point that if I sent an e-mail to my friend about something racy, and his house was stormed by the RIAA for having illegally downloaded Paris Hilton's new album, they would not have the right to my e-mail as evidence in a case against me.
I neglected to mention what I was getting at... This should be no different with ISPs.
Even if your e-mail is stored on another individual's computer seized under a search warrant, the government cannot use this information as evidence.
According to the Federal Search and Seizure Manual written by the Department of Justice:
See United States v. Upham,168 F.3d 532, 535 (1st Cir. 1999). First, the warrant must describe the things to be seized with sufficiently precise language so that it tells the officers how to separate the items properly subject to seizure from irrelevant items. See Marron v. United States, 275 U.S. 192, 296 (1925) ("As to what is to be taken, nothing is left to the discretion of the officer executing the warrant."); Davis v. Gracey, 111 F.3d 1472, 1478 (10th Cir. 1997). Second, the description of the things to be seized must not be so broad that it encompasses items that should not be seized. See Upham, 168 F.3d at 535. Put another way, the description in the warrant of the things to be seized should be limited to the scope of the probable cause established in the warrant. See In re Grand Jury Investigation Concerning Solid State Devices, 130 F.3d 853, 857 (9th Cir. 1997). Considered together, the elements forbid agents from obtaining "general warrants" and instead require agents to conduct narrow seizures that attempt to "minimize[] unwarranted intrusions upon privacy." Andresen v. Maryland, 427 U.S. 463, 482 n.11 (1976).
Even if found by coincidence the "natural male enhancement" e-mails would not be admissible in a court of law, they would be considered hearsay.
Do people really ever use the maximum power of their desktop computers, cars, etc.? I don't think anybody really ever utilizes the full potential of any product, but yet they pay the same or even more to have the capability.
I've seen plenty of V8 SUVs and sports cars going 5mph in rush hour traffic right along side the 4 cylinders. But its nice to have "just in case," whatever that means.
I know Verizon is CDMA, I was just responding that the parent could get an unlocked phone or unlock his current phone. I wasn't arguing that it would do any good or that it made any sense.
If you don't feel like spending any extra money, call up Verizon and tell them you are going to be traveling internationally and they will give you the unlock code for your phone.
If you don't feel like waiting on hold for a customer service representative, you can probably find the unlock on a website someplace.
First of all trying to relate Google's free services to Microsoft is just an all around bad comparison.
When I do a search for "email" on Google the first sponsored link that comes up is of course Gmail, this shouldn't be any surprise. I'd put my services on the sponsored link section too, its just good business. Saying that Google wouldn't put anyone else in the top spot for any amount of money is probably correct, but it makes sense. Pepsi, wouldn't plug coke on their website for any amount of money either. They are choosing to use a spot someone else could pay millions for put themselves there.
It should be noted that the first result that shows up in the general results section is "Yahoo! Mail." If it was rigged, don't you think that would be Gmail too?
There is a big difference between something showing up first in the sponsored section versus the general results location.
Anyone else find it odd that they are singling out the internet?
I believe this snippet of the prosecution's opening remarks sum up what I'm trying to say nicely:
"There is no other medium of communication that has a federal criminal harmful to minors law. It is not a crime to engage in harmful to minors speech in books or magazines or leaflets. It is not a crime to engage in harmful to minors speech on radio, on records, on movies, on videos or even, indeed, on broadcasts or cable t.v. in all of those instances, there is either no federal law at all or the federal approach to has been regulatory, not criminal."
The only major issues I've seen with 802.11n is the decrease in range and the obvious speed differences. If it is backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g then this should be a big issue.

Who's stopping you from buying an unlocked phone?
If you don't feel like spending any extra money, call up Verizon and tell them you are going to be traveling internationally and they will give you the unlock code for your phone.
