magically i didn't see the 4 / $200 part... which i still think is too much... people with such a need probably also already have another way of transferring data.
one very important part of info they left out was the cost of disks... if it's $380 for external and $400 for internal drives, how much is each disk? remember when the jaz drives were $100 each? i rarely saw them. Now this comes out, with (i suspect) a similar (or higher) price, i wonder how useful this will be.
this won't work, it will cause more trouble than it solves.
I will be the first to admit that i hate red lights, and that i speed up because 'i'm in a hurry' after hitting too many of them'
i'm not a 'huge' speeder, but i 'go with the flow', and if we're all sailing at 60mph in a 40, why should we all have to stop (and get rear ended? yay!)
to them, if it's a $10 coupon, they are doing that so you shop there.
if you only got baby formula at the store, they wouldn't give you the coupons, but since you spend so much money there, they are happy to keep you coming there by giving you a lil something back... i'm sure they make a heck of a lot more than $10 profit on your visits...
it's like a casino, take care of your best customers.
I have no html skills, would someone else be willing to setup a website like this so that you can upload anonymous cards? John Doe, George Bush, John Ashcroft, etc?
You could use all the retailers around the country, listed alphabetically, it would probably be easy to setup, and semi-bandwidth friendly...
he is right, they are not a bank, they are a money transfer service i believe... or something stupidly similar...
it doesn't matter how you regulate them, or what you call them... they do a service that i like... i will continue to use them until i have a problem with them.
you have an opinion, that's okay, stating that anyone who uses them isn't in "their right mind" is going a lil far...
Joe Stewart, a researcher at the Chicago-based security firm Lurhq, has catalogued Phatbot's many capabilities in an online posting. Those capabilities include: the "ability to polymorph on install in an attempt to evade antivirus signatures as it spreads from system to system"; "steal AOL account logins and passwords"; "harvest emails from the web for spam purposes" and "sniff [Internet] network traffic for Paypal cookies."
aol, go for it... emails from the web are already public, go for it... paypal cookies? now that's just plain wrong, the feds are going to love that one.
sadly, this guy does what everyone else does, takes advantage of stupid people to make money.
it's basically the best way to make money, next to taking advantage of lonely guys (pornsites, strippers) and taking advantage of lazy people (remote control, clapper)
he doesn't hate them for communicating, but in the renlentless tactics they use. Other companies/industries have to obide by the law and obey your 'stfu', 'you're trespassing', 'go away' or 'contact me through mail' under the fair credit collections act, and others, but you can talk all you want go get a soap box and talk on the mall in washington... this way i don't have to listen.
i do like this article though, it has a different prospective, it said night trap's goal was to 'save the teen girls' not kill them. i've seen worse movies, but nobody dares question the effects of hollywood.
anyway, he should of been smart enough to have the bills sent to the county clerk's office in the first place, never be a liason for bills to go through, lesson learned, and learned the hard way.
exactly, this is why we are all 103 years old and live in beverly hills, or washington dc, or new york...

bonus! for extra fun i like to put my name as george bush, this way he gets all my crappy newsletters sent to 1600 pennslyvania avenue... or president@whitehouse.gov
sadly, this makes my tax dollars somehow get spent very wisely filtering out junk mail.

because with ~80,000 machines, they can easily put a few hard drives in each, and give everyone 1gb of gmail space... I didn't think it was possible.
where do you go to buy 80,000 hard drives?

I'd rather carry around a external hard drive.

it's already 10am and i'm already sick of the april fools jokes...
it has to be believable for it to work, maybe next year everyone will try harder.
i believe it's the first host to be infected, the 'master server', but it might just be that the master server just had server 'baby' master servers.

in the supermarkets around here, supermarkets require you to have the 'loytalty' card in order to write a check, for their own protection.
... i've also approved it with the managers.
friends of mine work there, and they track *everything* you buy, with the card.
My own solution? 'could you use the store card? i'm not writing a check, but i want the things on sale'
it's too bad i can't play that on screen slot machine game to win the magic token though.
2 buildings get hit by planes from some terrorist guy -> goto war with iraq
nasa loses space shuttle -> let's goto mars
girl shows boob on tv -> ban the f word.
I Think U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart in 1964 said (in regards to obscenity), "I know it when I see it."
so, ask him.
i wonder if their isp will appreciate that, go go gadget bandwidth meter.
... this is gonna get messy.
on a side note, it's usually against most isp's ToS that you can't 'hack' and can't 'run a server'
the dns goes to rr.com

maybe he likes his job and wants to keep it? put out further reports about it anonymously?
i mean, even we have an 'anonymous coward' feature, don't have double standards now.

those are also 'mirror'd (kinda) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and in HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
i check those randomly to see what's starting when i first boot up...

yeah, i think we should put more liability on game makers for messing up our children's lives
while we're at it, let's sue mcdonalds for making us fat, sue microsoft for making us dumb, and other stupid lawsuits
