first. 13 year old child is home alone (quite reasonable) after school for two hours and is absolutly not supposed to do anything else without contecting his/her parents.
On the way home said child is abducted and phone left in a dumpster. Parents come home and flip. Child does not answer phone. They then use this service and find the phone in a dumpster. hmmm, seams like foul play.
If the phone was not trackable it is going to be at least 8 hours before anyone who can do anything (athorities) care. They probably won't really do anything until the next morning.
I somehow see the phone in the dumpster as a big clue that something is up.
Actually I would say sieving all computers and storage equipment is fair.
Just because a drive currently has porn does not mean it always did. The agents siezing should not be expected to do the forensics while at the guys house.
Also siezing assembled computers is fairly reasonable, . As for monitors keyboards ect. That is clearly irrelivent. Unless of course they are USB. Just because I am clever enough to hide a USB device in my keyboard should not mean I am immune to having my storage media siezed?. If the specific things listed on teh warrent are computers/storage media how is that overly broad?
And unfortunatly anything found on the media can be used against him for any crime, as can anything that is in plain sight as they search for storage media, if there is not a specific place listed to look then any container that could hold a flash card is pretty much fair game. Unfortunatly that is the way it has to be.
If one of your children's teachers (assuming you have any children) is reasonably suspected of running a child pornography ring using their students wouldn't you want the investigators able to take the time needed to make sure that the hard drives they sieze are indeed clean? And that the whole thing is not stored on a stack of flash cards that are scattered about the house?
falling off the edge of the map is not much better in my opinion.
and at least you are supposed to fall down a pit, that is what pits do.
Falling through a bridge though?
even if you are too stupid to make clipping to the houses, you should at least have it implemented for the bridge. I mean it's a fucking bridge, if it doesn't hold anything up you can't really call it a bridge.
Also avoiding pits is some game play at least (albiet unfun).
An opponent in a race that does not move is not a race. They are just wrong.
I would imagine there are a lot of right wing judges that would be offended at that statement.
I am personally very liberal, but I associate stronger protection from illegel search and seasure <ouch I can't spell when are webbrowsers going to spell check> with the right and not the left.
Unfortunatly I also associate the errosion of that right with them now too. I still don't think a right wing judge is going to let in financial records that were illegaly obtained into a tax case any more then a left wing one.
If I am entering data, and the server says it is entered, but only has the data in a RAM cache and then the server crashes badly, my data is gone.
If, OTOH the server rejects packets, finishing what it started, and then starts receiving them again, there is no data loss, only client side inconvinience.
But he/she (he from now on) isn't busy suing nessicarly.
If all he is doing is making SCO unix a better product he is doing what SCO should be doing. That is not evil.
SCO unix was not making the money, so he is not even supporting them in their lawsuiting (again, he may be a lawyer, but I am working on the coder assumption).
How is it evil to take money from a company using it for evil in a position that is non proffitable for the company?

Well...

I agree. I much prefer for the generic Cola cans in my ultra realistic game.
And the cars should just be squares with wheels, I wouldn't want to recognize a car modle, it would really piss me off.
Also, no real cities should be used, I don't want to play an advertisement for tourism.
What it really needs is a clause saying that the info will not be used for any other purposes except national security.
essentially meaning that the info would count as illegely obtained for criminal type stuff.
Not the same effect at all.

A little Double Dash vs PGR2 vs GT
I wonder who would win?
That discription works great actaully.
but I would clarify truly 3D wolfenstien 3d.
Of course I didn't quite realized hpow it works, so I mat have the total wrong impression.
funny.
MS offers no product that costs mor ethen 250000 dollors. And yet they still sell them all.
It is almost like they would invite another quater of a million dollors of almost pure proffit even if it is little in the scheme of things.
Like when I loan my buddy five bucks I am always pleased to get paid back.

I have a Newton and want to ask you a question.
/.
What web browser do you use that is even part way functional.
I have Newts cape and something else. Both take 5+ minutes for the front page of
And scrolling was unbearable.
Also. Do you have the problem where the screen will break your lines appart?
is there a way to get around that?
Actually, judging by our presidents popularity we like attacking arab countries even if we can't succeed in stealing their oil.
We are a bunch of Fundamentalist warmongers.
Keep up on your current events (and please liberate us).
You can compare there ability to run shader programs (see the example given).
It does not mean you can use the GPU as a general purpose prossessor effectivly, or that it is even turing complete.
All it means is that certain types of programs could possibly run 3 times faster if ported to this system.
Wow, the authorities around here break that rule all the time.
They fly Helicopters with infra-red cameras to detect pot growth that is mixed with corn and in people attics.
They then go get warrents and arrest people.
Also, to the Grandparent:
A wire tap is not physically tapping your wire anymore. The phone company is much too polite for that to be nessisary.
no.
We are a bunch of inconsiderate assholes...
it's not just a stereotype.
For Christ's sake, look who we elected as president.
And a very large percentage of our population still loves him.
though it may be that the republicans are the true users of subliminimal messages.
Don't worry.
As population grows they will need to rebuild it to accomodate the increased traffic.
What kid of a hair brain scheme is it to get rid of the old roads anyway?
traffice will be bad again in a few years time and you will want more lanes then you have.
A French card game I played growing up.
RedHat 5.1 (maybe newer and older ones) had a good console version.
You try to drive far faster then the computer and you can make bad stuff happen to them.
the executable was mille I believe and it was in the games folder (/usr/bin/games ?)
Also, with only two parties standing a chance there is very little choice.
If you have your Key Ring torch don't you also have your keys?
I found on my 486 emacs OS to be the best thing to use.
I mean that literally too.
I had an emacs AIM client and and emacs Web Browser.
I would use that and CTRL-Z with lynx to check hotmail (before there was any encryption. I would also usually have a game of Millebourne running too.
I would use Black Box some, but found netscape 4.x to really really suck, and running that and gaim to really bog stuff down.
You must have some pretty intense file serving demands at home to be using a 3500 dollor computer as your file server.
wouldn't that be k-kool?
Actually.
I went and looked it upo in google because I am not geeky enough.
Shame on me.
Lets not forget the real functional zipper on Sticky Fingers.
