I don't have children but when I do I will not be putting filters or anything else on their computers. These kids are going to someday be adults and be in the real world and you can't shield them from everything. If I were you I would sit down and have a heart-to-heart with them and explain to them why you feel it is wrong for them to be doing what they are doing, how it disappoints you (children want parent's respect), and make sure they understand exactly why the rules exist.
I have Windows XP and recently upgraded on the symantec website. I hit this exact problem. After several reboots I decided to uninstall it, delete every file and mention in the registry, and reinstall it. Oops...too late. It said I exceeded my license. So here is what happened:
1. Called 1-800-745-6055. They said to call the download dept. at 1-866-285-6460
2. Called the download department. Their menu didn't sound anything like a download dept. After calling several times and figuring out the number to press to talk to a live human, I was told to call their subscription key dept. at 1-800-441-7234.
3. Called the subscription key department. Had to again figure out how to talk to a human. Finally I did and they forwarded me to an "activation support specialist".
4. Specialist tells me to call the download dept. as specialist only has access to physical CD keys, not the downloaded keys.
5. Called the Download Department. They told me to call the subscription key department. I told them I already did and I'm getting sick of the run around. They put me on hold. Finally said there is no way they can reset my key but they will either ship me a new CD out or let me download a new copy. They tell me it will take 10 days.
I have not received the new CD yet but I did get an email saying it was shipped out. So we will see if this fixes the problem.
I can just see these things used for public advertising like in Minority Report. "Hello Joe Blow, I see you just purchased some preparation H. Wouldn't you like to consider some non-invasive surgery? Just come on down to Frank's A Shack Today!".
I've seen a few screeners in my time (legally) and they always had big flashing titles all over the screen saying it was a screener, etc. If anyone duplicates it and distributes it then its pretty obvious where it came from. And its pretty painful to try to sit through a long tape with all that stuff on the screen. So I don't see what the issue is...perhaps they are trying ot make an issue out of nothing?
Hey here's an idea...let's let everyone with an agenda into our schools. Maybe we could have PETA do a class and maybe the earth liberation front can show kids how to torch SUVs. Ah heck, we could have a new class every week from somebody.
It seems quite obvious to me that the alien death ray is intended to slowly raise the temperature of our planet in order to teraform it for the alien invasion of 2012, as shown on the Mayan calendar. Also any person with a brain can see that the aliens are from Pluto. They are sick of the cold and want a nice place for summer vacation.
maybe because they're tired of running half of the DNS system for free? I mean, we're talking absolutely huge servers that serve hundred of gigabytes per day and like 2/3 of the traffic are absolutely useless queries from random IDS and logging systems.
weekend internet users won't care and the rest of us will find ways to ignore it.
So why not?
You do realize that for every domain name registered in.com or.net ANYWHERE VeriSign gets a cut for running the "registry"? I think its $6. Thats a hell of a lot of money when its multiplied out. Now as far as running a root server, then perhaps, but there are dozens of other organizations also running root servers.
So the kids are complete idiots who don't seem to be able to use their brains for anything and the parents are looking for someone to blame. I guess that sums it up.
I wonder if the poster read the article where it said that the guy with the meth lab was charged under a new NC state law and not under the Patriot Act? So that really has nothing to do with the justice dept. or anybody outside of NC (although obviously it sucks for NC citizens running meth labs).
I used to have alltel and had no end of problems. I'd be driving down a city street and get no service...I'd try to make a call and get a fast busy. I switched to verizon and have had almost no problem. The only time I have a problem is sometimes when I am in a large brick building, but that is to be expected I guess.
I use PHP quite a lot and my biggest gripes are:
1. No easy way to do modules and extensions. With Perl I can use CPAN, load it right in, etc. With PHP I got to recompile PHP, and then recompile Apache. I haven't looked into PEAR but last time I looked it was still a headache.
2. For ISPs, there is no SUEXEC support for the Apache module. This creates all kinds of security holes and permission nightmares.
3. Some modules seem to be a moving target (like the socket/steams) and as already mentioned here there is little regard for backwards compatibility. You almost have to go read the user notes for each function you use to find out how it works on the various versions.
With all that being said I still love it for doing web stuff. I use Perl some too but prefer PHP for web apps.
find it disgusting that companies and countries are sending people up for profit to a space station that was funded by taxpayer dollars intended ostensibly for research ? Does anyone find it disturbing that lives of astronauts could possibly be jeopardized by having relatively untrained personnel on board ?
I find it more disturbing that NASA has crippled the station. A three person crew who does nothing but maintenance. Little to no research. With my tax payer money. Yippe
Riiiiight...that's almost believable at noon, on an interstate, with no houses within 2 miles, the cop doing 90 just so he can get to his speed trap hiding spot 15 seconds earlier.
Maybe he was speeding to catch up with a violator he wanted to ticket...then he just gave up and got back in his spot to catch another. See how creative police excuses can be?:)
Many cities already have cameras on traffic lights to catch people running the red light. I know, Baltimore sent me a nice picture of my car heading through the red light 0.3 seconds after it turned, complete with a close-up of my license plate. In return, I sent them $75. As much as I was annoyed at the time, it's a damn good idea, given the number of people that run the stupid things. Especially those in the left turn lane that keep turning 10 seconds after the light's changed. I got in an accident that way, a guy just turned right into me without even looking to see if I was there.
Except when they screw with the yellow time so they can make maximum revenue. It seems cities are more concerned about making easy money then they are about safety.
As I recall (at least in this state), police and other emergency service-type people are not permitted to do anything you outlined above without lights/siren.
They just use the excuse that they are on a "silent run" as they don't want their sirens to disturb the citizens. Uh huh
Carlyle "Connie" Ring Jr., chairman of the NCCUSL's UCITA drafting committee, said proponents will continue to press for state-by-state adoption. He argued that companies need a uniform set of rules to screw consumers with, and if the states don't adopt these rules, Congress will
they probably did something really stupid - like using phonenumber as the primary key.
ever notice on your bill how your account number is your phone number?
I'm with Verizon and my account number is not my phone number...in fact it is not any number I recognize. It's 9 digits plus a dash plus another 5 digits (which are 00001 so I suspect that part is for multiple phones in the same family or something)

And for the few forms you do encounter, its not a big deal to hand write them.

Please try again in a minute or so.
Yep...that's great. I wonder if it gives the same error in every zip code?
I read an article that said global warming was made worse by all the methane coming out of the rears of cows. I say lets have a big barbecue.

Well if its a publically traded company and it starts going downhill, usually the CEO is one of the first to get blamed and canned.
I was thinking the same thing...if these are the honorable mentions, the ones that didn't make it must have been REALLY bad.

I doubt my "representative" Senator Fritz Disney is going to vote for this...

You know I had the 2nd post in this thread and I am rated "redundant". You moderators need some serious meta-moderating.
I made the quote more to the point...
