I lived in utah... seminary was never required... The only time I ever stepped foot in the seminary building (yes, it is a different building) was when they were showing free movies...
And were not talking church movies, these were mildly mainstream movies like "Home Alone"
Yeah, not the best movie in the world... but hey, I got out of school for it and didn't have to sit through any religious stuff either.
Seminary in Utah was actually a good thing for people that didn't sign up for it. Because it meant that they could graduate a half year earlier then the people who did go.
windowsupdate is not the central repository as described by the poster.
It only updates microsoft products IE windows and office.... it doesn't update programs like say McAfee AntiVirus, Nortons AntiVirus, FireFox, or your favorite screensaver...
Check out your favorite debian/fedora repository, you'll find that the repository includes an amazingly large number of third party applications that can be automatically updated.
They probably didn't "waive it"... merchants with credit card processing don't get the money until a few months after you pay them....
Its called a rolling reserve. If the merchant went out of business he wouldn't have been given his rolling reserve amount back for usually 6 months unless he had a VERY good credit rating and chargeback history.
They probably just took the money from the reserve.
I'm probably a perfect example of this. Although my gorrila is EverQuest.
I used to buy a new PC game about every 2 months or so, but since I started playing EverQuest over 2 years ago I have only purchased 1 other game (neverwinter)
Those same stupid people usually just call me on the phone. Phone conversations take MUCH longer then IM. I cant ignore them as easily, or hide my tone of utter disgust for thier stupid question.
You know. I actaully tried to run as a "Limited" user on my WinXP box.... Damn that was a joke, only my microsoft programs worked properly....
Most of my games, accounting software, and other programs failed to work in anything other then administator (even tried power user) They usually crashed, or popped up an error message stating that they needed administrator access to run.
I eventually settled on the "run as user" option in winXP so that I could keep myself in a limited account... but hell if I am running "SU" for every little thing thats not much better then just being root in the first place.
I even called my accounting software company on it... and they stated that since its accounting software they require admin access to use it... To which I replied... damn... don't know about your accountant.. but an accountant not a person I would generally trust with admin rights....
Ok, if this happens ISP's are responsible for tracking and preventing the transmission of music files over their lines?
But, isn't it already illegal to decode that if the connection created is a SECURE connection? Wouldn't that mean they would have to break a law to follow another?
1) Most new cars have computers in them, if the computer fails, it could kill you. 2) Planes and trains are run by computers... if they fail, you could die... 3) On the other end of the spectrum, missles are computer guided... hmm they kill too.
If you don't think this has anything to do with your personal computer... Well, the person hacking into your computer might.
Based on several of the translations I have seen in the other messages the law breaks down to
1) you must give the end user information about the cookie before it is stored 2) the user should have the option of refusing the cookie.
So, cant #1 be completed by sending the information in the HTTP headers??? Who cares if they don't read it (or don't know how)... It was still available to them:P (ignorance of a law doesn't exempt you from the law)
And #2, and cookies can be refuesed by most current clients. If the user elects to use software that doesn't have the refusal ability. All that needs to happen here is that the customer needs to "upgrade" to get that ability.
In fact, wouldn't the act of sending the cookie itself fit the above descriptions???? All the user needs to do is read the cookie themselves and decide wheather or not to accept it.... If they don't choose to do so, or have a browser that can't, they are the only ones at fault.
Actually, my spelling has improved because of these communication tools. Not all of them come with a spell checker. Makes me more conscious of how poorly I used to spell. So I make extra effort to learn the proper spelling.
Heh. Now I just need to work on better grammer and punctuation.
While I cannot quite remember its name, I do remember reading (more than 12 years ago) a computer history book that stated that IBM put together what was considered to be the first OS.
I also remember an odd fact about this OS. Apparently IBM spent 5,000 man YEARS creating this operating system. (meaning that it could have taken 2,500 people 2 years to create)

So, which law should the ISP try and break?
Hmm I find your statement completely false.
1) Most new cars have computers in them, if the computer fails, it could kill you.
2) Planes and trains are run by computers... if they fail, you could die...
3) On the other end of the spectrum, missles are computer guided... hmm they kill too.

I would rather have spam then flyers. Spam is ethereal, doesn't hurt the environment as drastically as one flyer does.
Granted they both suck...
But in my opinion, anyone sticking flyers on vehicles and the like should be fined for littering.
Clicking delete is a lot easier then bending over to pick up a piece of paper that used to be a flyer that is now just litter.

Look ma, I just copied the uncopyable. That is unless they have gone through effort to block this ability like some DVD software programs I've seen.
Sorry all don't know a XWindows way to do this, don't use X enough
Heh wonder if you could file a patent on patent blocking... then sue everyone for royalties when they try to do it....
WOOT.
