To claim that there's no link between intelligence and income is absurd.
It is not absolute, but most intelligent people make far more than you do.
wow, that formatting got all sorts of screwed up..

Hey whiskeytown, stop plugging two plus two, the home of the best poker discussion on the internet.
The pros who complain about the newbies... they aren't really interested in playing poker. They're the people who learned how to play tight, became profitable, and never learned anything else. I could teach my dog to play tight, and profitably, but she wouldn't be playing poker.
Pokers popularity will drop, yes, but it will also leave behind another generation of poker players, who will play for life. Losing players who want to go out, have a few drinks, and gamble a bit. This fad seems to be doing a great job at making poker more respectable, and making casino poker less intimidating. These effects will improve the game forever.
Come on geeks, read your books, do your math, go to the casinos or to pokerstars.com. You probably won't become a millionaire, but you'll likely make a nice bit of extra cash, and you'll definitely have a lot of fun.

I used fancy calculators in high school, and they didn't make me dumber. On the day I took my SAT IIs, I forgot it entirely, yet miraculously my previous use of a calculator didn't make it so I could no longer do Calculus.
Maybe a calculator would make you stupid, but it will not make everyone stupid.
I'm a colo customer at ev1servers, and I'm now forced to look at alternate solutions. I don't like to engage in the hypocracy of supporting something I agree with, simply because it's convenient, so I really have no choice.
In the end, I'm such a small customer that ev1 probably won't care that I left, but surely there's somebody else out there who can spend my $200/mo on something good, like beer, instead of giving it to SCO.
I have this cell phone, and it does in fact have a ringer that sounds like an old phone, with a bell. (that's the ring I use). My ringer that sounds like a generic 1970 phone is far, far easier to identify than any of the "songs".
I'm contracted to run an intranet portal for a small-ish (500 employee) company. One of the sections on this site is a series of links to semi-secure external sites. The users all share one login and password, and they work in the http://user@password:www.site.com/ format. Really they only cared about making the information such that the public couldn't accidentally get it since disclosing it woulod provide some information on margin, but nothing earth shattering.
This patch (if it works as described) is going to serve to annoy those users, until such time that I can get the other companies to accept GET or POST authentication. Additionally, it won't protect against:
http://www.microsoft.com.security.patches.updates. maliciousasshole.com/ which less savvy users will still click happily.
It's actually relatively simple to outdo spamassassin. Spamassassin uses a small fraction of the information available about a person's message traffic to determine it's legitimacy. I'm aware of at least one company that has a prototype product which provides far superior results, while using significantly fewer resources.
I've passengered in a new Ferrari Maranello, and it most definitely had a radio. There may be a radio delete option on ferraris, but they come with one stock.
Tribune can choose to stop giving you, or anybody else, those airtime grids, at any time they want to. If they wanted to be mean, they could just start giving abusers fake information so your "FreeVO" would record nothing but COPS.
Besides which, even if you're right (which I sincerely doubt), do you want to be the one who has to pay to argue in court that the station data which they carefully organized is in fact public domain?
The ultimate desk is, in my humble opinion, the Middle Atlantic Edit Center line of desks. If you want a huge amount of stable desktop space, they're ideal. (and have nifty options, some of which involve 19" racks)
How about "well-meaning man who picked a bad mentor, and thus has found himself led down a bad path with no clear escape route".
I don't believe that our leadership is evil, I just think that they've attempted some extremely radical ideas in an attempt to make the world a better place, and it turns out they weren't successful. I hope that they are eventually successful, but so far all we have is failure and lies about the failure.
And please stop referring to anybody who isn't lockstep with this administration as "you people", it's divisive, pointless and hinders success.
Ah, the discussions section... that's not quite the same thing as what was originally said, or where I searched. I have an original series 20gig and it jogs just fine, though I don't use the original apple clip. Either my neoprene holder is saving me, or I got lucky on the unit, I guess.
I did what you said and there were no relevant results found for either jogging or jugging. Combined with the fact that my iPod has no such problems, and the fact that you posted AC, I'm calling troll on this one.
I've spent three hours in the Holland tunnel due to a nasty accident in front of me. I've spent nearly as long stuck on the lower deck of the GWB.
If the answer was easy enough for you to think of it in fifteen seconds, somebody would already be working on it.
I guess I remembered what my DA-P1 cost incorrectly, though I found it for $1600 new and you can get a used one on ebay for well under a grand. I could've sworn I only paid $1200 or so.
Here is proof of at least one other commercially available pre-recorded DAT. My local music store had a small DAT section (one rack) with a bunch of choices for a year or two.
None of this changes the fact that you bitched about SCMS as though it was an unsolved problem, and you made it sound as though there was only one DAT deck available (not true, even in 1987). Slashdotters will repeat the things they say on here, they must be accurate or else somebody will start claiming it's true (I SWEAR, there was only ONE DAT EVER!), and then history gets distorted.
There are devices which allow you to set the SCMS bits mid-path, that are less than $200. Also, there are relatively few professional dat decks that cost $1500. I bought my dual-deck Tascam DA-302s for $1k several years ago, and they allow you to choose whatever SCMS bits you'd prefer.
Even with a portable, a DA-P1 doesn't cost $1500, and lets you set SCMS to whatever you want, or on the cheaper end of the spectrum, a PCM-M1 is under $1k, and also lets you set SCMS.
Also, there were hundreds of commercially released DATs, not one.
I don't like SCMS more than anybody else, but don't lie about it.
It'd be ridiculous, but the software that comes with the Garmin GPS V (as well as the device itself) can be set to produce routes optimized for walking instead of driving. I don't honestly know if it knows how to cut through the park though.
He seems to imply that they've spent $150m in infrastructure to run the root servers.
Color me stupid, but I have trouble imagining how I could spend that much on the root servers unless I was allowed to count the $750k Sclavos salary (plus his heft options), and those of his crooked cronies, plus a new building or two. (I call them crooked because they benefitted from CSFBs shady IPO allocations)
Sclavos sees a way for a single company to monopolize a market (the market of mistyped domain names), and he's in a position to try to grab it. Now he's trying to frame it as a battle between intellectuals and realistic business people, when in fact it's a battle between people who don't want a single company forcing everyone into accepting an ethically questionable service and a single money hungry jackass who realized he found an unraped portion of the Internet.
The Internet raises new questions constantly, and now the question is 'what if we just installed wal-marts on every single piece of empty property'. In the real world that's a laughable concept, but on the Internet, it's actually possible, and he wants to do it.
It is only in the United States that all of Hamas is labeled as 100%terrorist. They do many good deeds in addition to the ones that earn them their fame.

phenomenon is a remake of mehna mehna that was on Muppets Tonight, and starred Sandra Bullock. God, I wish I didn't know that.

If you want to be careful, use a service like American Express's Private Payments, which generates a one time use credit card number for you.

You buy it. It's either covered by your regular auto insurance, or else you need to pay the extra money to purchase insurance from Hertz.

Do they start asking purchasing to confirm the billing address for the toner they ordered, instead?
