Let's not forget, though, that facts can be misleading. By choosing what facts to present and which to leave out, an implicit moral judgment may be presented.
Masturbation can cause soreness to the affected areas. Some people become addicted to masturbation and can't think about anything else. Being caught masturbating has lead to embarrassment and social awkwardness.
All facts.
I wonder if the put the option to make favorites available when offline back in IE? It's not in IE 7 anymore. It was actually kinda useful for traversing and downloading webpages to store offline for use while traveling.
Though I must say HTTrack does a fine job of it.
License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use
or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so.
Apple-labeled? Does anyone else think that's up for interpretation?
but those that like the work will have to choose between waiting for bittorrent or paying a cheap 5$.
I tried to go to his site, but after waiting several minutes for the page to load, I gave up. So I downloaded the full album from the Pirate Bay at 550 KB/sec.
After a liquor store scanned my license without even asking my permission, I got ahold of a magstripe writer and deleted the data on my license's magstripe and wrote over it with my credit card. Now when I go out I can use the same card to get past the bouncer and pay the tab.
Sometimes they look at me funny when I present my license for payment, but when they run the card the transaction is always approved.
Leopard does have Time Machine. I tried setting it up today and was less than impressed.
When Apple was touting Time Machine before the release of OSX, Steve would talk about how you could sync to a firewire drive, a network drive, and even an external drive attached to an Airport base station. He had some quote talking about how the drive attached to your Airport base station can manage the backups for all the Macs in your home.
They took that feature out in the release version. So now to use Time Machine you have to physically connect a second drive (internal or firewire/USB) to the computer. That sure is a lot less useful than an automatic scheduled backup that works wirelessly.
But if you consider that an average Malaysians make 3 times less than an American, then a 45 ringit CD to a Malaysian is like $45 to an American.
What does if mean for one number to be three times less than another? I know what it means to be three times more. 3 times more than 15 is 45, sure. But what the hell does three times less mean? Three times what? It seems to me that three times less than 45 should be -90.
I think you may have just hit on the very reason why Apple isn't supporting 3rd party apps.
Maybe they're afraid of VOIP on future 3G iPhones, but not on this one. Have you ever tried a VOIP app on GPRS? The latency is so bad it's unusable. It's not even usable on my Sprint EVDO phone tethered to a laptop, but much moreso than a GPRS data connection.
I work at a university, and much of the campus is like a big park. When I'm about to make a long phone call, sometimes I'll take my cellphone outside and sit under a tree, enjoying the cool breeze while conducting business.
Without the cell phone, I would've just been sitting in my office chair. Does that make me a technological slave?
I don't understand. Last year, the overwhelming consensus was that Youtube was losing phat sacks of cash everyday 'cuz their ad revenue couldn't possibly pay their bandwidth costs. And now they are making enough money to compensate uploaders for the privilege of hosting their videos?
I'm sure their profit margin increased now that Google owns them so Youtube doesn't have to deal with a 3rd party ad agency, but does that really make that much of a difference to the bottom line? Or has bandwidth just gotten a lot cheaper? Or are they just looking to corner the market so that as bandwidth prices drop and Internet ads become more lucrative, they'll be in a position to profit?
Ever seen those machines in touristy areas where you put in two quarters and a penny, and the penny is flattened and stamped with some insignia to make a souvenir? Are you suggesting that all of those machines should be put in federal prison?
You know, I normally mod down grammar nazis. But I can't help but complain here. My article summary has been so heavily edited that I barely recognize it. When I submitted this story, it didn't have these subject/verb disagreements:
The data collection on cell services began in 2004, but were simultaneously pulled from public view. or FOIA requests to obtain the data has been denied,
And I certainly wouldn't use the questionable idiom "Just the same."
Come on, mods. If you're going to edit my submission beyond recognition and destroy its grammatical integrity while you're at it, at least don't attribute the submission to me.
I recently bought some booze from a liquor store. I got carded, and the cashier swiped my license through some scanner without even asking permission. I have no idea whether or not it records data or just does the job of establishing age for them without counting on the cashier's ability to do math.
The next day I was shopping and noticed the demagnetizer they use on stuff you buy to make it not set off the alarm when you walk out of the store. It had the warning, "Do not place credit cards near this."
So I rubbed my license all over it. The clerk was confused and said, "You don't want to do that!"
My reply was, "How would it ever benefit me to have my license scannable?"
I live in Texas, just a few hours from the Mexican border. I've often wondered what legal recourse the MPAA would have if I opened up a mail-order DVD ripping shop, but circumvented the encryption in Mexico. I figure I could do all the administrative work here, including loading the customer's encrypted DVD to a hard drive. Then drive down to a Mexican border town once a week and, while I sit in a bar sipping Tequila, or passed out in a cheap motel, my laptop furiously (and legally (?)) decrypts DVDs.
When I return home, hungover, the next day, I send out my customers' backups along with their original DVDs.
I disagree. I run a Web site with a similar name, Tubespot.com (purely coincidental--I came up with it before I heard of Youtube.) I showcase funny television commercials that I record off of TV. I use what I consider to be a reasonable bitrate: 600 kbps Quicktime h.264 or Windows Media. And the ad revenue that I get from Google ads covers the bandwidth costs. It doesn't turn a big profit or anything, but at the current rate it would scale up indefinitely to pay for the bandwidth.
Sure Google preempted my web site with a link to their "Google Video" ads from their homepage (bastards!). But if you want to view the ads in high-bitrate h.264, transcoded from my DirecTV stream, and even download them, Google can't help you. You have to get the spots from my Web site.
Here in Austin, we've had the Green Choice Program available for a while. There's a huge farm of windmills out in west Texas by El Paso. I've driven past them--it's really amazing how many there are. I remember last summer getting a flier in the mail touting this program. They said that for a typical household that used 1000 kilowatt hours/month, it would cost about an additional $5 to know that all of your power came from these sustainable sources. I kept meaning to sign up but never got around to it.
After Katrina and Rita, I heard predictions that the price of natural gas (which is what most of the electricity is made with around here) was going to skyrocket. I figured that I'd better sign up for Green Choice immediately, because if the predictions were true, then Green Choice would be cheaper than regular energy. Plus, the Green Choice program locks in a 10 or 15 year contract with the energy providers, so the price doesn't go up.
I wish I had signed up, becuase come October it was too late and the program was full. Now if you look at the Green Choice site you'll see that Green Choice energy is in fact cheaper than regular energy, and they're having a drawing to sign up a relatively small number of additional customers.
I think this is fantastic--it's bound to cause expansion of wind and other sustainable energy production methods.

Can customs officials refuse entry to an American Citizen? Can they banish me for refusing to divulge my password?

I've often wondered what's to stop me from writing a simple bash loop that emails "Hahaha pwned $.20" to myenemiesphone@cellcompany.com.
I'm pretty sure my desktop could send about a million of those per minute, at no cost to me. But my "enemy" is going to be charged $.20 each for them.
Would he have any recourse?
After a liquor store scanned my license without even asking my permission, I got ahold of a magstripe writer and deleted the data on my license's magstripe and wrote over it with my credit card. Now when I go out I can use the same card to get past the bouncer and pay the tab. Sometimes they look at me funny when I present my license for payment, but when they run the card the transaction is always approved.
I used to take it all the time and I never got raped once.

If you're flying around the world, couldn't you arrange it so it's always daytime?
