not everybody has the time or ability to learn so many technical things. you think it's someone's duty to learn all the stuff you know, but when you're, say, caring for kids and/or your aging parents, working more than one job, a single parent, poor, etc, etc, you expect a mass-market tool to be easy to use or you won't have the time/energy/inclination to figure it out. nobody expects a drill-press to be easy to use; that's why it's a specialty tool for industry and hobbyists. but computers, tvs, vcrs, cell and programmable cordless phones are advertised as consumer-level tools. many consumers don't read english well, and since many manuals are poorly written or even simply transliterated from other languages, they don't make learning easier. it's nice for you that you have the time, the inclination and the background to figure everything out, but don't assume that everyone who doesn't is stupid or lazy.
and of course, the obvious: if the job market sucks so much you can't find other work and you quit, you can't get unemployment compensation. better to stay til the last dog is hung, while casting about secretly for other work. then when you get laid off, at least you can collect your $300/wk.
it doesn't matter how long the pictures stay in the db because they rely on facial geometry: the distance and angle of your eyes to your nose, mouth, and so forth. unless the facebreakers come to your house and do a good job, you will always look like you.
No one is forced to eat there, do business there, or work there, but they're somehow super oppressive and evil.
And we envy their money and we want to get the government or lawyers to steal it and give it to us.
And we envy their "power" and we want them to be hurt so they have less power.
Cripes, what a maroon!
McDonalds uses your tax money to buy (among other things) paper tray liners and bags with advertising printed on them; they use your taxes to subisidize their new store openings around the world. What are they doing with the money they make selling you hamburgers? Don't you wish you could do that? Can your lil mom 'n pop bidness do that?
So...can you get live sports without commercials, like you ustacould back inna day? boy howdy, if I could watch the NBA without seeing the same 10 commercials 100 times in the space of 1 week...
why, I'd move to the Nevada desert & get a BUD!
has been done before, obviously. major example: WKRP in Cincinnati was filmed in California, broadcast nationally, and had imported LaRosa's pizza boxes & Graeter's ice cream quarts flown from Cincinnati.
funny, I would die for your 4-6 weeks paid vacation, your real health care system, your knowledge that your tax money goes to support human beings, not fatass corporations and military campaigns for cheap oil. all those things that you're starting to lose in your rush to Americanize.
The other idea is to let users create interest profiles for themselves, something like a "digital hanky code**" that says things like "I am interested in trains, motorcycles, fine wine, and cats". Advertiser's agents can then scan for these and send me messages (hopefully in an non-instrusive way) that I can get later, again when I am in the mood.
Sure, you could do that. etour does that. then they fill your goddam mailbox with spam about things you thought you were interested in, but not that interested (100k per day worth.) in. or, if you're paranoid like me and can't stand for anyone to have any accurate demographics about you, you fill up the survey with lies and then you get a mailbox full of crap.

you (with your spotless driving record) pay for your stoopid state-mandated insurance, then an uninsured motorist hits you and you a)have to pay for your own repairs, or another car b)get nothing from your insurance company toward your car repair & replacement since you drive a classic car for which they categorically will not issue full coverage c)your insurance company cancels your policy since, now that you've been involved in an accident, you are an unacceptable risk.

"I know a person (www.kgcna.org) who owns a 1958 VW Karmann Ghia, that, though the car is exempt from emissions, has no catalytic converter, no fuel injection, mechanical ignition system, STILL passes modern California emissions. "
my 1962 karmann ghia is *not* exempt from colorado emissions and still managed to pass their (admittedly reduced for vintage) pollution tests. also, since the car is very lightweight and my commute is (for denver) quite short, I can keep tires about 1 1/2 times longer than average, and probably much longer than those gas-hoovering brand-new SUVs I have to dodge every day. oh yeah, gas? my car gets almost 30mpg at sea-level, more like 20-25 here. I keep the engine well-maintained so it doesn't leak or burn oil and since it doesn't have a radiator, it doesn't use any incredibly toxic anti-freeze. thank god for junkyards, because my car is largely maintained out of them. I bought all my chrome and accessories out of california junkyards when I restored this car, and many of the mechanical & electrical parts were salvaged by me from florida junkyards. recycling is where you find it. to see this car go here.
don't email me about how much my site sucks. I already know it.
you have to wonder.. a LOT of eyes see this type of stuff before it leaves redmond. why does this seem like a good idea?
for the same reason nobody told the beatles that apple corps was a bad idea: how do you say no to a baby the size of god?
why not sell regulated domains: for an additional subscriber fee that contributes to an agreed-upon fact-checking organization, you get a.reg (or whatever) domain name and an FDA/FCC/LOC(whatever inforeg organization) rated stamp saying your site is (relatively) true and responsible. the.reg domain would enable you to buy insurance to back up the inevitable court battles.
Absolutely brilliant idea! what do you mean by modding it (1)? this is a cheap, charismatic, rational solution to the inherent problem of gullibility. that is, until the other side gets PSAs with Charlton Heston telling them to believe *everything* that's published on the web...
your landline costs less than your cell contract? jeez, where do you live? here in denver, you can get ~1100 minutes/month incl. free long distance on weekends for ~$40.00. that's the same or less as basic landline service with call waiting. put that in your uswest and smoke it!
you'd be amazed how many jobs don't require the use or proximity of network devices. there is something called "labor pool", for people who can't get a regular job. they come pick you up at home, at about 5AM, take you to the job site where you do manual labor, drive you home at the end of the day, and pay you daily in cash. you will probably have to live in a rooming house. you won't need an ATM card because you'll never have enough pay left over to have a bank account. the last time I checked, nobody needed a network device to ride a mop. that said, I agree that these terms are abusive and vindictive. it would be better for all concerned to make good use of Mitnick's knowledge and experience toward better security and practices.
well, he could be a floor crew wallah or stagehand at Bradley Center & make 8-11 bucks an hour and never touch a network device. have to push a mop, pick up trash and get his fingers smashed a lot, tho... have to move to Milwaukee, too...
Oddly enough, some Brits find this a bit cheeky. No doubt, Americans would be similarly amused if a film were to be released portraying Guadalcanal being liberated by British forces with nary an American in sight... I know *I'd* be amused. But I still think Steve Mcqueen should star...
actually it wasn't a sonnet, it was a funeral elegy, dedicated to a man known to be a friend or perhaps distant relative of shakespeare's. it was signed WS.
the strength of the argument was that the elegy recalled many of shakespeare's earlier works, and presaged (may not be exactly the right word, sorry) some of shakespeare's later works in a way that a contemporary outsider could not have done. the similarity in the language used was striking, and shakespeare was known to be a great coiner of words and phrases. usage was consistent.
the weakness of the comparison was the relative dullness of the writing itself, not as incandescent or moving as his great published works. foster explained this away saying that in later years shakespeare was getting tired, less sensational (again not quite the right word) than in his early works, and the elegy, while obviously not his best work, was well in the style of shakespeare having an off day.
