I worked at a finacial institution, with doors that can only be opened with swipe cards, these were on each floor.
We were visited by a deaf woman (we assumed she was deaf from her speech, and her hearing aides, we learnt from the police that she was really deaf and was wanted in connection with other thefts) who was only just barely communicating that she was selling raffle tickets in something, no one knew sign language but let her in anyway assuming someone had let her in the building.
She used the time during lunch when most people werent at their desks to take wallets, go through draws or whatever, for some reason i was having lunch there, being the cheap bastard I am, I didnt buy a ticket, but my co-worker did.
For some reason I stood up to look at the woman operating from the otherside of the room, she looked a bit strange, she looked back so i sat back down. We found out later that she had her run of about 3 or 4 floors before someone challenged her being there.
It was also a running joke for us asking the co-worker who bought a ticket if she had won anything yet...
Just wondering, if an artist didnt have a record company to promote their music, just how well would they really do?
As things stand at the moment, artists without a record contract don't seem to do as well, but in what ways will this change? who will promote them? the artist themselves? or the filesharing system?
When new technologies appear and make things more convinent, someone who was making money off the older technology loses out. Some companies want to simply protect their revenue without either pre-empting the change in technology or changing after a new technology has been adopted by the mainstream.
If VoIP became mainstream, how many telephone companies would go bankrupt? how many would fight tooth and nail to implement measures that would ensure that they got a piece of the pie?
Isn't something like this in the "startrek" universe? Where in the early -> late 21st century they had the Eugenics war fought by genetically engineered humans?
I wonder what the size of the profit they reap from spyware?
"Third-party applications bundled with this download may record your eating habits, deliver doomsday predictions, collect the neighbours paper, or may leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth."
And in other news Microsoft announced the deployment of "Super Fun Happy Life Status Altering squads" to be used against those corporate criminals that use the name William or Bill Gates.
As a big fan of the series, I'm interested how they're going to deal with the story line that is more suited to a series e.g. the many angels/sentinals/apostles (what have you)
And are they going to carry the story through right to the end where its just shinji and asuka on a beach with everyone else presumably dead?
How is the complex storylines and references to christianty and some judiasm going to fit in?
I hope they dont spoil the memory of one of the greats in anime.
I wonder if this will be the same as everquest, fondly referred to as "evercrack" because of its addictive nature.
I can see this most likely is, I've even had some interest in this game and I know the evils that everquest hides... like the whole unwashing and staying up for 24 hrs or longer to get an item.
Do these things come with a warning about the addictiveness?
Basically the whole argument that bad behaviour stems from playing video games is just insane as the people who believe it. If the argument is that people reflect what they see in the video game and believe its also acceptable in real life then why arent thousands of kids out being like mario eating mushrooms and stealing coins?
And a small history lesson... there were badly behaved people before video games were even thought of! *gasp*
If people who are against videogame violence were to be believed then the first murder happened shortly after space invaders came out. Gang rapes started happening after pacman, and paperboy bought on genocidal tendencies.
The blame of any kids that do bad things should be squarely on the parents instead of trying to find someone else for their own failings. If i did something wrong, I got smacked for it and I learnt not to do it again.
If anything they should censor the news or clean it up, how many murders with gruesome details to they report on each day?
And we mustnt forget that famous cat that they stuffed full of wires and gadgets for spying on and spent millions of dollars developing only to have the cat run over before it got to where it was supposed to go.
I heard SCO were going to find out who the makers of unixware are, and sue them for copyright and patent infrindgements. Then refuse to release documents to themselves, quote incorrect code segments and send bills to themselves.
It does have to do with freezing of sorts, because the gases that are required for fuel oxygen and hydrogen (as well as a mixture of others) are gaseous in normal atmospheric conditions. They are required to be cooled down to a liquid state, hence the name "cryogenic rocket engine".

Of all the things that are happening in the world at the moment, you can take solice that we'll never run out of inventive ways to kill each other.

I guess they're wondering if the criminal charges have an 'opt-out' list....

obviously the echelon project isnt enough or probably not suited for internet tracking.

Isnt that the job of lecturers/professors? They're supposed to know the material and recognise when something is copied.

Hebrew isnt the easiest language to work with on computers seeing it is read from right to left, which would make for interesting programming.

You'd have copyright and other legal issues to deal with. You can't mirror a page without permission from the original source.
Also sounds like the 'Slackware Live' cd.
Can you create your own in mandrake like you can with slackware?
