According to a print Newsweek article I'm looking at, you can notify all three credit bureaus with the following phone number: 1-888-567-8688 (1-888-5 optout).
The Budweiser Wazzuuup commercial with the aliens had me laughing the most. The e*Trade one with the monkey and the horse was another good one. Otherwise I've been unimpressed.
Ok, lets say you're sick. You swallow a pill to combat whatever is making you ill.
However that one pill isn't powerfull enough to fight off the illness by itself. You have to swallow its four friends, and then they all combine inside your body to form a super robot to fight together. Sheesh this is starting to sound like Voltron. I hope they don't have some mega-sword which they start swinging wildly around inside of you.
Let's hope the virii don't start teaming up like this. Soon eveyone will have things popping out of them, al a Alien.
Ok, this post sounded like a good idea when I started
Without M$, someone else would have picked up the ball and ran with it. If they would have placed a strangle lock on competators, or had gone an open source route is anyones guess. We can play the woulda/coulda/shoulda game all we want and speculate on how the PC industry would be different without M$.
My first car may have been a Ford, that doesn't mean that I have to/should always get a Ford car. Maybe I really want a new Porche.
Interesting. Is the government backing away from splitting the company based on the prescedent it would set? Or are they hoping that by not angling for a split up M$'s might be willing to take its lumps and not appeal.
Fortunatly the deep linking ruling went as it did. However had it gone the other way, wouldn't that cause problems for sites such as/. Many articles here link to their source item, wich is rarely the front page of a site. It could alos have had major ramifications on search engines, which link you directly to the relevant page. I know that the ruling was only regarding deep linking and not telling the viewer that they are changing sites. But court rulings have the potential to be applied rather liberally.
Thank god someone knows a frivilous lawsuit when they see it.
I'm not condoning DDoS attacks, however this sounds like: "If you're not going to play fair then I'm taking my toys and going home." They need to figure out how to avoid/stop the attacks. Shutting down just calls attention to the problem.
I applaud Pinkerton's effort to try and make America's schools safe places for children to learn. However they're going about this all wrong. They need to spend their monies educating the educators and counslers on how to spot truely disturbed kids. They could also place counslers into schools to help out those that are overburdened and/or too poor to afford such a service. Possibably even assemble a group of psychiatrists who would be willing to evaluate children identified as potentially troubled at a reduced rate, if not for free if refered to them by this system.
I don't have a problem with giving help to those who need it, especially in their formative years. However the identification of such children, as well as their treatment, should be left to the professionals not to the uninformed who are getting rewards to do so.
Linux, or any other OS, will never overtake MS until it's as easy to use as Windows.
Hmmmm this KDE screen has all those little icons and a menu window similar to what M$ uses. Installation was painless, the Mandrake shell was no more complicated than installing Winblows 98. And, holy crap, I can even customize the hell out of it.
It's an OS anyone could use, if they were willing to crawl out of the hole that M$/AoHell has forced them into.
Ok, maybe it can't place www.hamsterdance.com as an animated desktop.(Maybe it can, I'm not insane enough to try) But who would really want that? Aside from someone who can't plug in their keyboard and mouse correctly on the third try.
I'm sure the ACLU lawyers are sitting in the wings just drooling over this one. Some poor kid is considered different and are turned in for a couple of bucks. You know however that it'll have to be someone acting different because of race, creed or sexual orientation before the lawyers jump in. Just being an individual isn't enough.
We've already got laws on the books for punishing people's words and deeds, are we now going after thoughts and personnal affairs?

Sure, make 5 and still call it a trilogy, just like the books.

But banning email attachments would have a good side affect, there'd be less panic about Windoze email virii.

According to a Wired article:
The other one is housed in the National Cryptologic Museum at Fort Meade, Maryland.
and we can't shoot them
Why not?? It would slow the attacks.
