Arlington is actually a county, not a city. In Va. there are many "free cities" not part of a county, such as Alexandria, Falls Church, and Fairfax City; there are also counties big and small, some with towns in them; and one of them (Arl.) is so small it doesn't have any towns in it.
Cars do talk, or did at one time. Back in the 80s there was a fad of sorts of cars telling drivers status updates and safety warnings: "Please fasten your seatbelt," "A door is ajar," "Please refill the oil," etc. They drove owners nuts and didn't last long. But they lasted long enough for Eddie Murphy to do a very funny bit about them - I can't find a transcript on google, but I bet someone has it.
My hometown! Well done guys. Arlington is cool in a number of ways - many police officers live in the county, so they drive their patrol cars home and keep them in the driveways. When a cop is your neighbor you can have a better relationship with the PD.
But I'm surprised the headline wasn't: Grand Theft Auto Illegal in Arlington, VA (yro, games)!
Vast quantities of PCs are sold wither with bullshit "recovery disks" or no backup media AT ALL. In the Win95 days they actually asked you to supply 35 or so floppies to back up the copy of Win95 that was on the HD! So it makes zero sense to ask recipients to ask for original media.
Anyway, who cares? If the OS license is somehow wrong or expired, then wouldn't this be an opportunity for the linux horde to march in? I don't see why this is bad.
Those were the reporter's words. I find it very unlikely that they would require a login to get information on, say, national parks or AmeriCorps. Simple business sense would require otherwise (since they use the website to promote their services and reduce phone calls).
Eventually, Amazon and Half.com are going to really hurt the publishing industry too. We need to find some balanced, middle ground. I wish
someone could suggest something.
The book industry seems to be doing its own thing here: jacking up prices madly. So it is very appropriate to resell books used, however one wants.
But if the nation's Soccer Moms have to give up their Grand Caravans, and the nation's Midlife Crisis Divorced Men have to give up their Range Rovers, then truly, truly I say to you, the terrorists will have won.
Did you expect it to be on the front page? To me the article was interesting (I didn't know you could wardrive XCams) but I wondered what all the claims about legislation or lack thereof were about. The article definitely had an "... and this is LEGAL!!" spin to it that implied such a discussion, even if it wasn't explicit.

So does Malda. By comparison, Bill Gates has a Bacon number of infinity!
they don't want to get sued for unreasonable search ana seizure
It's also illegal and punishable by pretty severe fines and jail time.

it totally crapped out on me. (mac version) had to go to the post office at 9 pm. sucked.
I'm waiting for OpenBSD 3.11 for Workgroups!

The guy stole the car. It happened to belong to the ACPD. And it happened to have fancy electronics in it. But he still stole the car. So he's toast.

Beat Pioneer! Sorry, had to throw that in there (A2H '89)

Who cares? I never use online services by the federal govt. Only exception is filing income taxes (and electronic filing DIDN'T WORK this year).
Now that sllort has gone out in a blaze of glory, Profane Motherfucker is the new #1 most relevant and interesting poster on slashdot, IMHO. And not just because he's sending me a fuckload of books. Keep 'em coming PMF!
Just like the 100s of Mozilla 1.0 announcements we see on slashdot
I remember deleting my Compuserve account via terminal dialup many years ago. I suspect this will still work.

for this crowd, sadly the mod is correct

Well, this is true, but I for one would prefer not to be in NYC if Indian Point melts down (for example).
Why the hell not? I say it's pretty goddamn cool to have one that can handle the demand from slashdot.
